Republicans here gerrymandered our Democratic district by slicing into several pieces like a pie and stretching outward in every ruby red rural direction.

All these Republican moves could backfire on them. As one DR mentioned to me, R districts that were +13 or more will become +4 or 5 R districts. During a wave election, that could bite them in the ass.

They've accomplished nothing positive on behalf of America or Americans. They've only stripped positives that benefited 99% of us.

Only Wall Street-types have benefited.

Hey, America's history is taking two steps forward and one step back. We could be reaching a turning point after Bush and Trump. Gen X and Z realize that thanks to Republicans the American Dream is out of reach. A tidal wave in November could be the start of a period all of us let all of them know this is a democracy, and the majority of us haven't benefited as billionaires build bigger megayachts and take more and more.

The Trump administration is made up of nothing but wealthy elites who are tone deaf to the everyday economic challenges THEY'VE caused with wars of choice and tariffs.

US currency will have Trumpf's name on it and US passports will bear his horrible visage.

Fortunately, I've read that's only going to happen in the D.C. area. I wouldn't carry a passport with his image on it. Immediate cause for immigration agents in other countries to act adversely towards anyone with Trump on their passport.

Worse, tens of thousands of people will have needlessly died because USAID was dismantled and the BBB's pauperization of our social safety nets.

As you know, "soft power" has been America's strength, even after 9/11 as U.S. Marines and others went into villages in North Africa and elsewhere to help by doing everything from drilling wells to fitting people with glasses, some for the first time in their lives. We've lost our greatest tool.

And the next non-Republican administration will have less money to work with and even less public lands or natural resources.

America seems in the mood for massive tax increases on the 1%. Especially since almost everyone now knows megalomaniacs like Musk and Trump and Bezos have gotten away with paying practically $0.

How very sad.

What a great gift we could do the world by impeaching and convicting Trump, and others in his cabal for insider trading.

I always told my wife, "mark my words. Trump will end up going down as the most reviled figure in American history."

I believe that will come to pass. Joe McCarthy is doing the happy dance.

He just thinking.

(Now.. what is the worst thing I can say in front of kids.)

Pigsbreath needs to be put in his custom built makeup room and the door locked and barricaded.

His firing of top minds at the Pentagon (during a war!) is as stupid as most everything else anyone in this administration has done.

The brain drain at all cabinet levels, and all of that institutional knowledge will hurt America for years to come.

Kegsbreath is what you get when you hire a weekend Fox News host. Trump's administration is full of similiar know-nothings.

All this has led to immigration being one of Trump's worst polling issues, just below approval for his "handling" of the economy, with tariffs - and now this war - hurting tens of millions of American family budgets with ever rising prices on everything.

Something less obvious but is a damning issue is he's not carrying the gun when he walks into the room. I didn't see a bag, so was the gun already in the room?

A couple of news reports I read stated he was wearing a long coat to hide the long gun and shed the coat when he started running.

WTG Dotard!!

Recall that just weeks ago the now $1 billion ballroom was $200m then $400m, to be paid for with private donations?

The Spaniards drained Lake Texcoco (where modern day Mexico City is) and a sister lake to the north.

Mexico City is sinking by 1' a year and experiencing acute water shortages:

One would think (and hope) a U.S. president would send people who know WTF they're doing.

... especially when war is involved

"Gunboat Diplomacy" didn't work.

A parade of unqualified idiots Trump sent to "negotiate" didn't know what they're doing.

My pleasure :-)

PSS - the first step is to right mouse click on the image you want to post, then Copy Image Link

That's the link you'll insert after < img src = " (with no spaces)

Trial and error are your friends. Copy your completed HTML with image link, height, width, etc. in Preview because if it doesn't come out correctly, you'll want to be able to edit by going to another blank text box to preview before publishing.

PS - I always resize height and width or they'll take up more than a page's width

Again, best not to make height or width greater than 400 for DR.

Copy the HTML you typed before hitting preview in case you need to adjust. Go back, paste, change, and preview before PUBLISH.

What's the HTML code for inserting pictures?

Best not to make height or width greater than 400 for this site.

Alberta is kind of the Canadian Texas. Conservative area with Lots of rednecks.

Pulled up alongside a blue Bently convertible today and saw some Mar a Lago faced freak show driving it.

Why is it that the people with more money than they know what to do with always turn out to look like grotesque clowns or they marry one? I think the fastest way for me to develop ED would be for that thing to get naked in my presence. Blech.

The "Mar-a-Lago face" is a trending, highly stylized aesthetic among American conservatives, characterized by intense, "camera-ready" cosmetic procedures like high cheekbone fillers, lip augmentation, Botox, and bright veneers. It often features a polished, "overdone" look with tanned, taut skin and heavy eye makeup, signaling wealth, high-status, and alignment with Trumpism.

This is what a police state looks like
