Not mine. He’s threatening to remove elected officials who won’t help masked thugs drag people off the street, who then get thrown into the only concentration camp in the US.

The only time I see Fox News is when someone near me is watching it on an airplane so I am seeing Trump talk about how great coal is and I’m thinking he is one of the dumbest people on this planet. It’s 2025, clean energy is a thing and he wants us to use the dirtiest energy to power our homes.

Interesting take on this and makes a lot of sense. I would hope most of us couldn’t care less how she looks and instead focus on her fascism, her incompetence and her lack of qualifications. Having said that, it’s still fun to make fun of Hegseth’s tattoos.

I had always romanticized Julius Caesar until I read Rubicon. You opened my eyes to the destruction Caesar plotted and felt the comparison to Trump was undeniable. Trump is a destroyer and many of us fear our republic is on the verge of extinction because of him. He deserves a harsher biography.

Got my first email from a Canadian who has been here 50 times saying she’s boycotting the US for 4 yrs due to Trump’s lack of respect for Canada. Travel boycotts can seriously hurt the economy, something MAGA never thinks or cares about. Probably not the last email.
