Today, with religious hate in their hearts, with pure anti American murderous bigotry on their lips, 25 years from a day we thought would make us stronger 'united as one,' ... the Trump MAGA Right seems to be asking for a continuation of the violence. We traded our civil liberties for a false sense of security, and somehow managed to end up more paranoid, divided, and thoroughly cranky than ever before. If that ain't the grand American tradition in action and cooperation, I don't know what is.

You've got to hand it to our grand ol' party lawmakers. They claimed these abortion bans wouldn't hurt women with ectopic pregnancies, and now ectopic deaths have nearly doubled, especially in the very states where they passed them. That isn't an unintended consequence. That's just good old-fashioned GOP efficiency. Leave it to a bunch of grandstanding Republican politicians to turn a standard, routine medical procedure into a game of Russian roulette, leaving terrified doctors to consult a defense attorney before saving a dying woman's life. All the stuff they taught me about Jesus says he'd be against this. No wonder he has given up on coming back.

If we are now expected to swallow the tale of Donald Trump being hoisted into the air and carted away from Ground Zero by two weeping, muscular firefighters, we have officially slipped off plumb. Dear Leader was sitting four miles away in his fake-gold plated tower, practically needing a telescope to see lower Manhattan, busy bragging on television about how his eyesore was now the tallest building around. Then he has the unmitigated gall to whine that a real, genuine hero who actually died saving eighteen people, the Man in the Red Bandana, is getting more attention than him. Calling Donald Trump's ego fragile is like calling a dwarf short. The man has a lizard brain stem connected directly to a megaphone, and he simply cannot stand anyone else getting a parade, even if they had to die to get it.

Every few years starry-eyed Texas Democrats fixate on some bright, well-scrubbed young fellow, dust him off, and parade him around like a prize heifer at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Talarico speaks fluent moral clarity and raises money like a tent revival preacher, but expecting him to unseat Ken Paxton in a Texas statewide race is like entering a jackrabbit into a demolition derby. Paxton could be indicted by Southern Baptists and GOP voters would still elect him just for spite. We're watching the exact same heartbreak express pull out of the station...different conductor, same ol' train wreck.

Yes, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has mistakenly detained and deported U.S. citizens, despite official agency policy stating that ICE has no legal authority over U.S. citizens.

Live Free or Die! has become Submit or Die!

Renee Good and Alex Pretti won't be voting.

Again sacrificing liberty for safety. Can't have people exercise their right to vote in the way they are accustomed. That has been declared unacceptable by the self-declared overseer-in-chief. Everything today is under surveillance.

Soggy rice no taste nice. 18 generations of your ancestors are weeping because of your dishonor. You should be against pedophilia.

BallDinger,

The Statue of Liberty says come. You've sacrificed liberty for safety. That's anti-American. Shame on you.

You're a pedophile apologist. You're anything but classy.

After 67 months of Trump being POTUS, he is the Deep State.

WooHoo! We'll finally corner the asphalt market!

Bugger!

The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool should be renamed Lake Trump.

All this because Trump phqued teenage girls.

Everybody wants to save the world, but nobody wants to help mom do the dishes.

I'm gonna miss them.

Ratcliffe warned last year that Russia's war on UKraine risked pulling the U.S. into a direct conflict with Russia. Now he's reportedly in Moscow for undisclosed meetings. Although he doesn't necessarily align with Russian interests, he was a fervent advocate for Trump throughout the 2019 House impeachment proceedings.

Whatever it is, it's not something that can be handled via a phone call.

Jimmy Carter tried to balance the budget. He regrettably got it down to $994B and then got his ass kicked. After that, all bets were off.

- *Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)*: National debt increased from $759 billion to $994 billion, a 31% increase.

- *Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)*: National debt increased from $994 billion to $2.86 trillion, a 188% increase.

Carter's successors seem to have taken one major lesson from his failings:

The American public may blame the president for a sluggish economy, but when it comes to debt, the sky's the limit.

Quick injection of brain power for the dumb -----, MAGAts and performative fascist Christians: Dearborn, Michigan is an historic Arab American city dating back over a century with immigrants arriving from the Middle East to work for ... guess who ... Henry ------- Ford. And they are Americans, contributing, enlightening, strengthening our country. If you're Arab, if you're Muslim, you are my brother and sister and countrymen.

Not anymore. In order to pay for all the socialist policies, they're going to have to vote for starving the MIC. People are tired of wars, and besides, unless we fight Russia or China, there aren't any -------- countries to fight anymore. Unless we attack Africa. It'll be the same as the Nordic Socialist countries. They don't pay a $trillion military budget. It'll be the same here.
