I like American Presidents that aren’t tyrants. Raging moderate that's just pissed off about our decaying democracy. Focused primarily on current affairs in the United States and global issues that it influences. PS: I swear. (You’ll live, I promise.)

Fun fact: The United States Federal Government has not passed an annual budget on time since 1997.

Our President keeps telling us he's a business genius.
He is not.

Republicans keep telling us they know how to run government.
They do not.

Fun fact: all members of the uniformed services are paid by the US Government, and by definition are government employees.

Brought to you by the son of a career Army NCO, paid for most of his entire life by the US Government.

The more you know.

Gee, and here he's been telling everybody for YEARS how smart he is.

Huh. Maybe he was lying. Just a thought.

Thanks to President Dumbfuck and his sycophantic circus of idiots who have no idea how to run a government, all non-essential gov't AND MILITARY funding has been cut off.

This means no #Navy or #BlueAngels at SF Fleet Week this year. It's only been cancelled before due to 9/11, COVID and weather.

US Navy, including Blue Angels, out of San Francisco Fleet Week

The U.S. Navy will not participate in San Francisco Fleet Week this year due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The President of the United States controls a nuclear arsenal.

And he’s insane.

And “Republicans” are okay with that.

Un-American.
Un-Christian.
Un-Constitutional.

Amen. Galloway has this way of going straight negative (albeit with an honest take) about what’s happening that it leaves people hopeless.

The other night my wife broke down into tears about how apocalyptic things seem, and it’s because Scott went full dark in his commentary.

Dude, enough. 😡

He’s a fake Christian.

His real god is Donald Trump.

Jesus, get a clue. People aren’t just scared of Trump – they’re scared of his army of sycophants that will step in and do whatever is necessary to retain power.

Seriously, people just don’t get it, do they?

This isn’t about Trump. It’s what he’s done to American discourse. He shredded it.
