Do you ever get the feeling Mamdani is being shoved down Dems' throats, much like Trump was shoved down Republicans' throats? I do. And I don't give a damn who Bill de Blasio supports!

Who would have thought that a Republican president would put a former heroin addict (and convicted felon) in charge of a government agency and the GOP Senate would approve it? Keep in mind addiction is a chronic disease. Yet, Trump says he is waging a war on drugs! ROTFLMAO.

His message is as disturbing to me as Trump's. The Far-Left has resorted to a power grab in any way possible, much like the Tea Party did. And look how that turned out. The Horseshoe Theory of Politics lives on ...

For what reason? If he dies, the VP becomes president. Nowhere in the Constitution does it require proof of a terminal illness, or even a chronic disease.

Same here. I believe in fairness, as well as facts. And I care about Chicago, too. A long time ago, I lived in Oak Lawn. I still have family in Melrose Park, North Lake, and Hinsdale.

When a shooter entered a school in Uvalde, TX, law enforcement didn't have the balls to go in & save children. In Minneapolis, children & teachers were braver than TX law enforcement. Dead in Uvalde: 19 kids & 2 adults.Dead in Minneapolis: 2 kids & 17 injured. Let that sink in.

One day, Trump tells us that he's not a dictator. The next day, he boasts that he is the president and he can do anything he wants to. In other words, Trump views the presidency as a dictatorship!

When they (IL) take him to court, point out the many RED states with higher crime rates than IL ... and the fact that Trump HASN'T deployed troops to any of those states!
JULIA TOWE (@juliatowe.bsky.social) reply parent
When is Trump going to actually send troops to states with high crime rates? SC has a higher violent crime rate & property crime rate than IL. There are no troops in Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, Charleston, or Myrtle Beach. Why is that?

I think Dave Schilling is sucking up. Trump epitomizes a person too arrogant to seek redemption. In Scripture, Psalm 5:5, we are told that God rejects arrogance. The Book of Romans warns us to not be arrogant. Trump has plenty to worry about.
JULIA TOWE (@juliatowe.bsky.social) reply parent
You know, pre-9/11, they called themselves "Fundamentalists". When the term became associated with the 9/11 hijackers, they started calling themselves "Evangelicals". I agree with your assessment fully. They are "Nationalists" just like Hitler. Adding the term Christian is an insult to Christianity!
JULIA TOWE (@juliatowe.bsky.social) reply parent
You may think it's a joke, it isn't. He is fully displaying their angst. Call it comedy, satire, whatever. The guy has that down perfectly. I am just saying, jokes aside, he brings to light the real problem is ignorance. And Trump has used their ignorance as well as their angst to get elected 2x.

They do that, in the South. I'm not sure of why. I never did. But many leave these things everywhere. They even tell other Christians they don't pray correctly, baptise correctly, have communion correctly. Honestly, it IS offensive!
