How do we get this kind of information in front of people who only watch right-wing news? That’s the real trick here. So many aren’t on socials. I’m not afraid to speak up one on one but most people are.

Also - women’s voting rights. I don’t think these GOP women know the threat.

Preacher Doug Wilson from Moscow ID; who is a "spiritual mentor" for "War" Secretary Pete Hegseth; is a major proponent of women losing the right to vote. It's also around Project 2025, with its other restrictions on women's reproduction and personal autonomy. All can be found online.

I know and you know but countless others don’t. And that’s what’s scariest!

Some MAGA woman today said, "What other president do you know who gave up his salary?" They are so CLUELESS that it boggles the imagination! Why would Trump need his salary when he's violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution? He's raking in BILLIONS!

TACO Trump does what he does best, CAVING IN to the very force he attacked, Iran, by suddenly lifting sanctions for Iran to SELL over 150 million barrels of oil because he’s fuqked up on global oil pricing as the spiral in pricing is sinking America and other global economies!

This is how this soulless sociopath has operated in business world, too.

With an IQ said to be about 80 (flirting with the “simpleton” level) and the attention span of a gnat, the Silver Spooned Putz named Donald is only guided by his unregulated ego and blood lust, which means he might burn down this country and world IF he is NOT STOPPED (via impeachment or the 25th or 14th Amendments — he’s got to GO before we do!!!).

Not to mention caving on Russian oil sanctions...for his friend Vladimir. Trump has never given a damn about Ukraine.

Wayne's avatar

If you add in TACO tRump releasing Iran oil sanctions you can see a failed admin. if full retreat without a plan.

Excellent commentary but will Americans wake up from their brain coma?

We should all be asking one simple question, relentlessly: Why are republicans paying ICE instead of TSA?

Wayne's avatar

How about paying the TSA from the overinflated ICE budget? How about a seperate bill like the Dems want to pay the TSA? The orange stain can always causes chaos but he never has a plan to get out of any mess he creates. It's his way or the highway.

Susan Klemetsen's avatar

They are paying 70,000 ICE Agents, yet won't pay TSA! Democrats have introduced seven bills to fund TSA, but Republicans won't do it! Then they go on right-wing media and lie about it. I am so sick of the constant lies from Republicans. Talk about a lack of moral character!

Here's a sad fact. The Iranian regime is a more trustworthy source of news about the war than the USA administration. tRump's announcement this morning re: talks with Iran was simply (a) market manipulation [check who bought calls on Friday], and (b) because he was backed into a corner and didn't know what to do next. So what he did was what he normally falls back on in such a situation, which is to fabricate the entire affair. There is no dialogue with Iran and he's lying through his teeth. But he popped the stock market and bought himself a few extra days.

Richard's avatar

It is so obvious what he is doing. Every Friday it’s something bad going to happen to Iran. Oil spikes. Every Monday before markets open we’re winning or in this case Iran wants to talk. Oil drops. Who benefits? His wealthy investor friends that sell then buy the dip. Market manipulation or insider trading! Are you fooled?

Wash, rinse and repeat.

Excellent coverage - measured, clear, with critical information. The “ now” situation is staggering and the “afterwards “ is just more of the same unless the legislative arm begins to perform. The judiciary is working but now under mountains of cases with more coming well past November- two more years. ICE’s $85B budget needs to be clawed back for the courts, at least.

This is one Never-Trump Republican who agrees with Mr. Nellis.

A.Gnosticthefirst's avatar

The Republicans own the partial shutdown and can be fully blamed, notwithstanding the Democratic Party's talent for shooting itself in the foot.

Installing ICE agents at airports will make foreign tourism revenue drop even further than it has already. If the agents of ICE show up in Canada during the World Cup, they will be protested against vigorously. ICE is for skating on.

Please get this article into the “mainstream press” -TV, newspapers, etc. The damage occurring to the US economy, most recently from the war with Iran, is hurting the average person’s pocketbook. Maybe now those who voted for Trump will wake up!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏

Mike, maybe not being talked about enough is how the American government is letting the world down by allowing a clearly mentally deranged man run the country making decisions that affect so so many. If you asked 100 mental health specialists that know dementia related affects, I am sure more than 95 would come up with a diagnosis that he is not well enough to run a country. Especially when he is actively making decisions putting people’s lives at risk.

Think too of his Nihilism and chronic Narcissistic Personality Disorder (which is another defined mental disorder he has), he doesn’t feel that there should even be life beyond him, and he is dying. Republican or Democrat, it doesn’t matter. This man is mentally unable to his job, and is so very dangerous. From Canada here, take care of your house America.

Last night I looked up the meaning of a Psychopath.... well if anyone is interested, that is the official diagnosis of Trump. Prognosis: Poor. Just Google it and it's there.

Lianne Doherty's avatar

Lynn, you are spot on. I have done extensive research (for my own knowledge) on psychopathy & orange pedo wins hands down: narcissistic. glib, artificial charm, must be in control etc. Add to that the hideous things in the epstein files & what he has done to this country - you nailed him!

Claudia Vignola's avatar

Great article... I, personally, have run out of adjectives and adverbs to describe this very evil person... it's scary as there is nothing worse than a person who thinks he knows it all when, in fact, he knows nothing and everybody around him knows it....

> They want a president who can attempt—at minimum—to bring the country together.

As far as I can tell, they really don't.

If that mattered at all to most voters, Trump wouldn't have been elected in 2016, let alone 2024.
