Imagine where we'd be if President Trump had not torn up the agreement President Obama had with Iran.

Imagine where we'd be if President Trump had not attacked Iran.

Thanx MAGA for all of this (and other!) chaos. You richly deserve all the emotional/financial pain that is occurring now and likely will occur for a long time into the future. In short: YOU BUILT THAT

Another item to consider: many Red States have a higher infant mortality rate.
For example: last year's (2025) infant mortality rate in Mississippi is about four times the rate in Massachusetts.

Remember the old saying: Follow the Money.

After years of Blue States supporting Red States with their tax dollars, maybe these folks are following their money.

This won't succeed because it's too little, too late.

Of course, but that's why he didn't

I'm all for President Trump serving three terms: as long as they are served consecutively.

Heck, I could be talked into letting him slide on the other 31 convictions.

Accurate description of President Trump.

Dear President Trump: Does this lack of interest mean you would return Venezuelan opposition leader Mara Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize medal?

To celebrate Pi Day, I'm going to have TWO pieces of pie to increase my circumference.

Once again, the old lesson: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia" is going to painfully school the US. Sure, the US (and other countries) will temporarily put a band-aid (tourniquet?) on the petroleum squeeze by tapping into their strategic petroleum reserves, but it's temporary and places the entire world economy at risk of completely imploding once those reserves are gone. The silver lining might (MIGHT!) be that this will accelerate the development/expansion of renewal alternative energy sources, but I suspect it'll prove to be too little too late. The US (yes, I know who is REALLY to blame but for now I'll stick to referring to collective blame over all the US) options are bleak. I fear the present administration will choose to do something (ANYTHING!) to avoid being shamefully ejected from power. President Trump has rarely (if EVER!) been involved in anything that could be described as the Art of the Deal. His negotiation tactics are more accurately referred to as Art of the Steal. President Trump is a bully both in personal and financial dealings. It was mostly "tolerable" as long as he was isolated in his own little enclave. However, the US electorate as seen fit to supply Mr. Trump with a large "box of matches". We, literally, have hoisted ourselves on our own petard.

I suspect President Trump is only doing this because he has verified that none of the Aliens are listed in the Epstein Files.

It's difficult to imagine how anyone would think that ALL voter fraud gets uncovered.

Here's some more false presumptions:
- ALL voter fraud individuals vote one way.
- ALL false voter REGISTRATIONS = illegal votes.
- ALL mail-in ballots = illegal votes (please explain that to the service personnel who vote by mail).

It seems the majority of folks who are convicted voter fraud are GOP supporters. Hmmmm....

"Interesting fact: the most common reason given by a convicted vote fraudster, when a reason was given, was I thought the other side was doing it.

I wonder where they got THAT idea.
Seems like one more example of the GOP accusing the other side of what they are already doing.

Graham Edge had an amazing way with words. His spoken words (soliloquys?) combined with Ray Thomas' flute really set the Moody Blues apart from other bands. Where are such artists these days?

Ironically, this post displayed the real point:

You were going to promote some silver lining' no matter what.

Wasn't the claimed purpose of ICE to round up the worst, violent criminals? Looks like it's succeeded. All that remains is to deport those ICE individuals. Mission Accomplished!

"Although I wonder what will come if it's proven the guy didnt have a weapon when he was shot, his weapon was taken away. They were all over this guy and only one weapon was found, then why did they shoot him?

And these questions arent "horrifying". The agent will just go to prison if it's found he shot the guy with no reason.

That likely would have happened in the America of a few years ago.
Now it's more likely that the worst that'll happen to this shooter is he'll be briefly detained before being pardoned by President Trump.

I'm well aware.
Every now/then I believe it's proper to point that fact out and not let it slide.

Still waiting on your response for Chantresse #14 and #15.

Given President Trump's recent actions, it seems a more accurate name would be:
