Nice list, but I would add severely limit or eliminate Presidential pardons.

I think of all the Trump cabinet members, I dislike Scott Bessent the most because he knows better; like Rubio, they are in it for a power grab. Let history actually reflect what they have done to this country.

As you well know, this is no longer a sane country.

Since when can a President send funding to other countries? The Republicans are bankrupting the country right before our very eyes. I feel sorry for the generations to come who will inherit this debt, so that a few can profit. Fed up with this shit! 😒

The Peace President 😒

How pathetic does a young, attractive woman have to be to love Trump?

Is it his athletic build?

Is it his intellect?

Is it his virtue?

Is it his rugged good looks?

As Reese Waters would say, "Who Raised Ya'll?"

Trump is just a dumpster of babbling. How stupid do you have to be to announce that the CIA will be targeting Venezuela? He is always announcing his intentions real or not to the world, which makes it easier to adapt and push back. What a moron!

Always living in the past. The Republicans' agenda and policies are so 1950s. Let's help them out and make their political existence as a party a part of the past.

As usual, Trump is always wrong. How Orwellian of the Republicans. Those pesky courts are at it again. 🤣

Trump has these Republicans in the House and Senate so scared that they have given away the power they have just to avoid angering MAGA. However, the tide is turning, and people like Mike Johnson will end up on the losing side. And you thought Kevin McCarthy was bad. 😒

Of course, China is not buying soybeans and other agricultural products because you started this trade war. Trump declares a trade war against the whole world, and then is offended when they push back. It's so tiring to see the leader of the country who can't understand that actions = consequences.

Well, how enlightened, Eric Schmitt. I guess we just forget about the indigenous folks that inhabited this country long before a European set foot here. I would suggest we deport all Republicans in Missouri back to wherever they came from.

Joseph Sacco @thestoicbuddhist.bsky.social · 2d

Nice 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, sure, after 4 years of Trump, if he makes it that far. This economy will be so decimated that Trump will not be elected, and if the elections are fair, no Republican will be elected President of what is left of the United States. Bannon is a fool.

Whose tariffs the Chinese? The US is a producer of agricultural products for export. If we import a food item, it is usually because we can't grow it here (coffee, bananas, etc.). Before Trump, we had lots of customers for our agricultural products. The Tariff war is destroying the market. Moron!

Let her run her mouth, let her destroy the Justice Department; it doesn't live up to its name anyway. She will get her day in court, but as a defendant. She has failed to realize the difference between a personal attorney and an Attorney General.

Of course, they are all liars, and someone from South Dakota is going to assess the safety of their city. Who could be more qualified? 😆

Joseph Sacco @thestoicbuddhist.bsky.social · 3d

Just another sycophant for Trump who is playing the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Kristi Noem is like the rest of the Trump cabinet, just a media character. America is vulnerable to outside threats, as these morons parade around doing nothing.

Mafia Don. I suspect that the Mafia would be offended by being compared to Trump. 😒

Joseph Sacco @thestoicbuddhist.bsky.social · 4d

Jim MAGA Jordan, just another sycophant claiming he is a Republican. Come on, Ohio, you can do better than this sellout. 😒

I was thinking the same thing. 🤣

Joseph Sacco @thestoicbuddhist.bsky.social · 4d

We all know people like Trump, who, when anyone else is talking, are tuned out and only come alive when they are talking. He's so inept he can't even feign looking interested.

Joseph Sacco @thestoicbuddhist.bsky.social · 4d

And all those silly fools that voted for Chump are the biggest users of democratic programs. There are no government programs that are targeted specifically at democrats. Still waiting for Trump to do one good thing for this country. Waiting, Waiting, Waiting! 😒

Ah, such love from one dictator to another. 🤔

Joseph Sacco @thestoicbuddhist.bsky.social · 5d

Seriously, can they give these two something real to occupy their time? Talk about government waste 🤔
