Thanks. I’d forgotten how it was done in 1974 w/President Ford after Nixon resigned.

I’d forgotten about all about Ford. Thanks!
No, I did not look at it that closely. There does seem to be a yellow band around the base. I thought it was his folded arm’s shadow.
What???!!!! And who’ll reward the Capitol police officers who had to fend off the attack by the J6 insurrectionists who attempted to thwart the results of the presidential election? Who’ll compensate the taxpayers who paid to repair the physical damage they caused to the Capitol??? Who????
Both he & his boss have construction experience. The “national housing emergency” is all self-inflicted. Bessent bought & sold 20 homes, & has been involved in renovations, I would expect him to understand how it works. His boss did this by deporting construction workers & imposing tariffs.
The only way I can interpret this is via the administration’s behaviors. Naming an HHS Secretary as unqualified as RFK, Jr will result in culling the herd, assuming he continues on his trajectory. It’ll allow them to save $ on social welfare programs to fund those tax breaks for the wealthy.
Actions have consequences.🤷🏻♀️
Being a bully has negative consequences as people vote w/their feet & wallets: “The downturn isn’t driven by external global conditions…rather by political rhetoric, restrictive policies, & negative international perceptions… discourage foreign visitors.” www.konsyse.com/articles/uni...
Tough for everyday Americans to ignore today’s high grocery prices compared to last year.
Based on wastewater data, it’s more question on when, depending on where you are, if the CDC data can be trusted… www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...
He offended India re India-Pakistan war & levied high tariffs on India. Today, “Modi…in China for summit of 20 leaders of non-Western countries of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a China-backed initiative given renewed impetus by Trump's global tariff offensive.” www.reuters.com/world/india/...

No it a good idea…
If he goes, he may well leave behind a team of rivals duking it out for supremacy. JD becomes POTUS beholden to the likes of Thiel & Musk; VP position would be vacant (?) and the next in the line of succession would be Speaker Mike Johnson.
Tough to ignore increasing grocery prices nowadays. History tells us bread shortages & high prices were a flashpoint, helping to stoke French anger toward’s the monarchy & the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette's supposed quote at the time was "Let them eat cake!" www.history.com/articles/bre...
He’s uniquely unqualified for the position he holds. He’s a dilettante who eats roadkill and swims in contaminated water. He’s not to be believed over the experts. It’s tough to take him seriously in a position that requires expertise in the fields of health and science.
Correct. US Constitutional guardrails aren’t holding and this is why: “Graff argued that Republicans who were in office during Watergate realized their first duty was to the Constitution, not to the president. That doesn't seem to exist in the current Republican Party.” 🇺🇸🥲
Tough to ignore today’s prices at the grocery checkout. Everyone is feeling the pinch…some more than others.
Still has bruising on his right hand…
Elon and Senator Mike Lee should keep their chauvinist views to themselves. They’ve already had their way with overturning Roe v. Wade. Turning back the clock on women’s hard-won reproductive rights and freedoms is a hard NO.
People vote with their pocketbooks and with their feet. Right now, they have better, more welcoming places to be. It’s truly our loss…

Their actions speak louder than words or posters like these. And no amount of fiddling w/US labor stats will change reality on the ground.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
All this belligerence doesn’t augur well. Interesting coming from man who got multiple deferments during Vietnam War & one who’s disparaged our fallen soldiers, Gold Star families, & war heroes like Sen McCain, & who’s now turning US military inward vs Americans, while lusting for Nobel Peace Prize.
Witkoff’s lacks diplomatic experience.Alaska summit he brokered failed. Based on press reports re behaviors exhibited by those who were in room w/Putin, brevity of the meeting, & Putin’s abrupt departure, sounds like he told US to pound sand, that Russia will proceed with its plan to defeat Ukraine.
Unfortunately, like it or not, this IS today’s US. We may not like it, but it is what the US has so quickly become under this administration. The Constitution’s guardrails are barely hanging by a thread.
His plan to redevelop Gaza is simply ghoulish. Premising it on its people’s “voluntary” departure doesn’t augur well.
Indeed! The guy’s a crack pot who eats roadkill and swims in polluted water. He’s not an expert on matters of health and diet.
His cruelty is beyond comprehension. The psychological trauma he’s inflicting on these kids and their parents will last for the rest of their lives. 🇺🇸🥲
Thank you for your service and your fealty to that oath, sir. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Yours is a thought provoking question. Upon further reading, I now see what you mean. I wish it weren’t so, tho. Seems to me her actions that day were a betrayal of her military oath of enlistment to which veterans remain bound throughout their lives.

Not a picture of good health…
That “inanimate object” is deadly in the hands of assassins. It’s a complex problem. US has a significantly higher rate of public mass shootings compared to other nations; contributing factors are high rates of gun ownership & less restrictive gun laws. rockinst.org/blog/public-...
Next Democratic POTUS president can always revoke it.
He should talk! He certainly doesn’t walk the talk…🤦🏻♀️

Senator Murkowski, actions speak louder than words. You usually express “concern” and then you usually toe your party’s line. You have power. Use it.
She’s not wrong on this.
He’s got way too much time on his hands. Who’s really minding the store in the meantime?
Wow. All these posts…Didn’t realize being president allowed so much time away from the job…who’s minding the store in the interim?
Yes, it appears do. Just based on what the press reported re behaviors exhibited by those who were in the room w/Putin, the brevity of the meeting, and Putin’s abrupt departure, sounds like he told the US to pound sand, that Russia will proceed with its plan to defeat Ukraine.
For what exactly??????
This busywork isn’t part of their job descriptions. Our tax dollars are being wasted.
I wonder how he ever finds the time to be president when he’s preoccupied by scratches to his new patio and manages to text at length about it???? 🤔
Probably trying to save face after Putin laid things out for him and told him to pound sand.
That’s the one place his money can’t buy. More likely that he’s headed to the other place to atone for his bad deeds. Money can’t get him out of this.
They’re intentionally—and needlessly—inflicting lifelong mental, emotional and physical trauma on these children. The cruelty IS the point.
Their profligate spending signals they see the USG as a piggy bank for themselves. Their behavior does not seem to be one where they care about the burden they’re placing on American taxpayers.

If only the US valued life itself more than the Second Amendment…🇺🇸😢
There’s not an empathetic bone anywhere in that body, unfortunately.
It’s already tough to ignore the difference in prices this year over last. It’s only going to get worse due to this administration’s ill conceived measures.
People in other countries have choices and are voting with their feet as well as their wallets. Turns out fascism isn’t that popular abroad.
Il a raison. Je suis complètement d’accord avec le président Macron.
No, thanks. I’d rather trust the experts than someone as addled as him.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Once is enough, thanks. Plus, taxpayers’ shouldn’t be paying to honor an insurrectionist. If he’s as rich as he says, he should pay out of his own pocket.

Jen Psaki and Gov. Newsom are right: it’s always the guns. And the data doesn’t lie. Take a look st this data: rockinst.org/gun-violence...

Her lawyers right! He and his administration and Republicans, for some reason, remind me of this nursery rhyme: “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again".🇺🇸😢

Wasted time and wasted resources and wasted taxpayers’ money.
How and why did the US get to a place where health has been so increasingly politicized and polarized that our CDC is collapsing???
Smoke-and-mirrors POTUS.
At least he’s open about lying…
That’d be a hard NO. Is he aware how angry Americans are?
It would hurt a lot of people. Then, again the GOP is not know for their altruism.

They seem to rise to their level of incompetence, no matter what role they’re in.
It could be JD Vance by then, given 47’s declining health.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.
He’s unfit for his role.

Future candidates for US president need to be able to pass a health exam, mental acuity test, and a test of their knowledge of US history/government/civics.
So much for the law-and-order party 🤦🏻♀️
Perhaps he’s afraid they’d call them as they see them and now include the US on that list due to his on-going cruelty.
The only thing “fake” here is RFK, Jr.
Unfortunately, it’s to be expected as this administration does not value expertise in any field.
Altruism is clearly not their strong suit. And they disdain expertise. The result: it will cause the needless loss of American lives.
Psaki’s right. Reminder for converted Catholic, JD: U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ "Two Feet of Love in Action" incl’s both individual charitable works & broader social justice efforts to address problems’ root causes. Actions demonstrate a living faith & advance God's kingdom on earth.
RFK, Jr. seems not to understand the guiding principle of immunization against vaccine- preventable diseases: It’s an individual, community & governmental responsibility that transcends borders & sectors. Equitable access to immunization is a core component of the right to health.
