The Republican Party has has a plan for many, many years to cut taxes for the rich, and add to the burden of the poor, until the "great day" arrives when America is bankrupt and the rich can take everything including housing, health care, and those things that FDR instituted like social security, away from the poor and the powerless.
No such thing as a good Republican in the time of Trump, they are all too cowardly to stand up for the rule of law and democracy itself

The jury has returned with a verdict many years ago on whether Americans are to be trusted with everyone carrying a firearm.
We cannot.
I wonder if there is a betting site out there that bets on just how many mass shootings Americans will have to endure, as we indulge the firearm industry and the army of hate that wants all dysfunctional young men to carry on their drunken Friday nights.

Weird how Trump lies through his teeth at least half the time, and is called on those lies by a lot of the press not named Fox News, and still he doesn't lose followers. White power hate is strong in Trump and his family...

The Art of the Deal was a ghostwriting bunch of nonsense and that is what Trump is showing to us all, that he cannot do anything but shed blather upon the airwaves.

So you pay a tariff, an add-on fee, to a company that has produced that thing with non union labor in china, and life goes on. Has anyone noticed American manufacturing heading back to our shores? It was the ridiculous Republican Party of the Republican Nixon that "opened china to the west" exactly to do what happened, kill the power of American unions and make a fortune for the investor class. Trump is not going to stop that gravy train any time soon.

And when a massive hurricane blows into Miami, crosses to the Gulf, then reverses course and goes back over Florida...the devastation will be paid for by those people who invested in Florida real estate, and Trump.

Putin did the same thing, but after awhile Russian courts were so totally in Putin's control he didn't have to pretend anything at all to anyone. He was Deal Leader and that was that.

We already have fire and forget drones run by internal AI...not so far from judgement day, is my guess.

Would that the entire US had similar laws, that let people over 70 make their own decisions about their lives and how much suffering they are willing to live with. The Catholic Church is against death with dignity laws, including for those suffering with painful incurable deadly diseases, because, of course, we own the Priest down the street our suffering.

Mental health care is expensive, but for a community full of people despairing of ever living a life of belonging and purpose, very, very important.

Apartheid and "The Trail of Tears" once again championed by an old white man rich and stupid.

Actually, this is the craziest thing I have read today, and that includes the guy who bombed a fertility clinic, blaming them for his suicidality.

And the tariffs have done what good for what company, or for what people? As far as I can tell, they are about the scene being played out in Trump's damaged brain, where everything is about him, where he is the great deal maker, where finally all approach him with tears in their eyes thankful for our dear leader's hard work.
Five year old kids often have that place in their brains, as they daydream their way through life, but then they grow up and find a way to work with other people to make this a better world.

And one expects it to sit on a tarmac for a longer time when the Dems take the White House back. Perhaps it could be used as a museum piece and people could pay $5 to walk through a perfect example of Republican Party lust for gold and power...

If Trump "86s" much more of our investigating arms of our low enforcement, there might not be anyone left to investigate him and his boondoggles, when he finally leaves office, if one can utter a hope.
Musk...the perfect Republican, in that he is all about himself, his massive ego, his greed addictions.

Fascinating that he sees Donald Trump as a kindred soul...and more than a little scary.

We live in a real world, with very real enemies who come armed with nuclear tipped missiles...he is not one to be trusted in a strategy session is my guess.

One wonders how many of Trump's voters give a rats rump about truth, logic, compassion, helping the sick and the poor, all they care about is...supremacy of their white power, male supremacist, far right Christian group.

Insider trading info, as I remember, people go to jail for that, thinking of Martha Stewart of course.

Small people do small things. People like MLK jr, or Barack Obama think of the many and do the great.
Trump is just a little boy who physically grew up but is still about his privilege and ability to play at being god since he is rich as god.

And I think a majority of American voters see America as being in a permanent fight with fascism, where every other election or so, a Trump will arise to champion hate and behind the scenes be all about turning the lives of the rich into the new inherited nobility in America. Great wealth sooner or later sees itself as deserving of owning the politicians and the courts...

Musk is wildly incompetent to be the guy to administer a review of governmental programs and expenditures.

And it will cost many lives of the poorest and the most lost in America, as they find their safety net gone and no bottom to the fall.

You just know that Russian and Chinese war planners are working out plans that involve putting Trump's appointees to the test and people like Hegseth are clearly the weak point in our military defense. Trump made sure we had no-one like like Jim Mattis, to stop him from his fascist grifting ways, but that in the end weakens America.
Although, the more I think about it, if I were part of the Chinese or Russian war machine, I would be looking to bribe Trump and his gang...they are not the most patriotic of leaders.
