I'll take good sleep and normal blood pressure over the pursuit of chasing every possible dollar.

I'm pretty sure they only care about themselves. And stealing as much as possible.

I can't imagine hearing anything like that back when I served during Desert Storm/Shield.

It would have been very unsettling. I imagine it is today too for a wide majority of those serving.

When do I see all this money from higher gas prices.

Trump said we're getting rich.

I keep checking my bank account. Not seeing it.

Let it be a courtroom where she's defending herself.

They are kinda like Chef Boyardee Spaghetti-Os. I remember those being much better back in the day.

So much crazy stuff happening. We've created one global crisis after the other.

I guess that's what happens when we elect people of low character and low IQ.

WE need to do better. It starts locally. Get involved in local politics so your voices are heard.

Simply voting is not enough.

Republicans didn't want gays to have rights or brown people to have a chance for a better life in America. So, Trump.

I'm guessing these same people are alright with blowing up a school full of little girls?

Are they good with our young men and women being killed in a bullshit war too?

So that's where the rash on his neck came from!

Hegseth...maybe not the brightest.

I certainly wouldn't let him manage a McDonalds so what on God's green Earth is he doing running the largest military in the world?

He's a man-child with a history of poor decision making.

Republicans ran on affordability, no more foreign wars, releasing the Epstein files and immigration.

Prices up and jobs are down. War with Iran. Epstein files redacted.

They even screwed up their deportation promises.

Random middle schoolers could make better decisions.

Idiot man-children.

The odds of getting a two-thirds majority in the senate this year (enough to remove president trump) is very low but it's not zero.

Not zero.

Spread the word.

This year the vote is essentially a life and death decision.

Let's return the House AND the Senate back to the people.

No dictators.

We wouldn't even be in this mess if it weren't for [name of previous president] and his [pick a policy] policy.

I imagine some of them were coerced into signing NDAs and even embarrassed because they took money in exchange for silence.

You also have to realize that they'll be opening themselves up to death threats. They'll be acused of lying. They'll be sued for defamation.

It's a tough choice.

I'd rather not see him again unless he's on his way to prison for crimes against humanity.

You have to push pretty loud. The lure of big money is deafening.

I don't think Trump is insane.

He lacks both character and principals. Combined with below average intelligence and the inheritance of great wealth... this is what you get.

Grifter in Chief

Trump bombs children at school in Iran. I'm almost certain that is a bazillion times worse than anything Biden did. Trump just created an new era of jihadists.

Ted "cuckold" Cruz needs to be relegated to the dustbin of history. How absolutely horrible were the people that ran against this guy?

Can you imagine if Iran struck a grade school in Florida, killing over a hundred children?

This is exactly why we can't have a man-child running the Dept. of War.

Love this. May steal it from you and I'm not even a politician.

The grift is stronger on the dark side.

Republicans are swindling billions while the democrats are only stealing millions.

Plus their largest donors are probably in the unredacted Epstein files.

You obviously don't understand the collective WE from my original post. I'd explain it but you seem content with name calling.

The process does matter. So does the truth. And the truth is that Trump got more electoral votes in a fair election.

Enough blame game shenanigans. Move forward.

Is this how you win arguments? With name calling and all caps shouting? How Trumpian.

There's no evidence to suggest there was enough cheating from either side to influence the election.

Just enough people believed the lies of a serial grifter and the left was stuck in a rut of their own making.

Collectively, we've elected these idiots. It doesn't matter who voted for who. The outcome is what matters.

We failed against Trump not once but twice. The failure of the left to garner support from a majority is very much a real cause for where we are today.

I feel you and I don't disagree.

Sometimes my anger takes over and my posts go out riddled with spelling and grammar errors but I still avoid the ignorant use of all-capping. It's even worse because it reflects the poor style used by Trump and his acolytes.

At some point we must accept that WE (USA) are the bad guys.

It's a gross mix of incompetence, poor policy, and just plain mean spirited evil. No diplomacy whatsoever.

The people (our congress) have ceded all control to a tyrant.

We must retake control. Congress must be compelled to act.
