Building military bases in other countries is our thing, not letting them build them in our country.

China is not paying the tariffs, you insane right wing nut job.

The American people and small businesses are paying the tariffs, and they are quickly draining our savings and driving us into debt.

Why is a 54 YO man paying attention to what 18-22 YO college women are wearing? ewwwww

Rhonda Reger @rhondareger.bsky.social · 1d

He was going to do them anyway.

Ask them about their lives as children, and about their parents, grands, aunt and uncles. Audio or video these conversations. Even if you have heard some of the stories a hundred times, some day you will wish you could hear their voice one more time.

Great advice. My SIL buys healthy alternatives to what my FIL and MIL want. They are 88 and 90 years old. If they want full sugar Dr.Pepper, don’t buy them some new age apple cider vinegar substitute. Eating/drinking what they love is one of their few remaining pleasures.

My Dad used to tell me “it is only pain” and it will be over quickly. Not snarky, just being factual. His reassuring words “it is only pain” has helped me weather all kinds of pain—physical and mental.

He might declare war on Norway even if they give him the Peace Prize.

Never appease him. It is a losing strategy.

Rhonda Reger @rhondareger.bsky.social · 2d

But he has crazy rightwing nut-jobs who are egging his craziness on and pulling the levers behind the scenes.

I wonder if this story might convince Trump that coal is not coming back? That the U.S. ought to follow demand?

Nah.

Glad the NYTimes is catching on. They missed this when he said brown immigrants are taking black jobs and called every black woman in a “white job” a low IQ individual.

A loud reminder that this administration wants to bring back SEGREGATION as @victorerikray.bsky.social has pointed out and they're starting within the administration.

A literal page out of Woodrow Wilson's playbook. #blacksky #news

Dementia.

The country needs him to be removed from office.

Is he also sending top secret information via easily hackable DM’s or Truth Social posts that have aided Russia, China, and other enemies?

He has dementia. It is hard for some to tell because he has always been (or pretended to be) stupid. But if you have close family members with dementia, you see all the signs in Trump.

Do you have any idea how many country songs are anti-government with great distrust of law enforcement? It is in the DNA of the genre.

And she will be indicted by a grand jury. She will lose her law license. If Trump is still alive then, he will say Pam who? I don’t know who that is. Loyalty is a one way street with him.

Great to see peaceful protests. We are all joining you on October 18 for No Kings marches. Google to find a location near you.

Even if they were drug traffickers, we don’t kill them. If they are in US waters (they weren’t), our coast guard arrests them, we hold a trial, and if found guilty, they can get 5 years to life, depending on circumstances. Not death.

I sure wish #Governorabbott and the #TexasLegislature would stop fighting their stupid culture wars and do something to help Texans. They think they work for Trump and don’t give a darn about helping Texans.

Speaker Johnson says he won’t call the House back because they have no work to do.

Among other things, how about drafting and passing a workable health care plan? Releasing the Epstein files? Lowering cost for Americans? Taking control of tariffs, per the Constitution? Investigating Homan?

Rhonda Reger @rhondareger.bsky.social · 3d

Wishful thinking or real hope?

Rhonda Reger @rhondareger.bsky.social · 3d

Keep resisting! Until Congress passes a law that is upheld by the Supreme Court, Trump has no authority to force state or local police to support him and ICE in warrantless arrests.
