Former GOPer. Civil discourse & critical thinking desired. Truth is essential. Politics, economics, philosophy, history, phrases & quotes with some humor, wit & sarcasm. The chaos of the next 2 yrs will prove necessary to finally correct this MAGA mess.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

We wish everyone a very healthy and happy Thanksgiving!
Today, let's forget politics and be thankful for all that we have. When we compare our situation to that of others either here or abroad, we realize we are blessed.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🍗

No one ever polls me but I give him 0% so could you adjust that?

Before Witkoff meets with Putin again, I wish he'd stop in Kyiv and meet some mothers who lost their sons & daughters fighting against Putin's invading army on the frontline, or talk with some kids who lost their grandmas in Putin's drone attacks, or meet some warriors without limbs...

The realities of Trump aging in office:
He appears to doze off during events.
His public appearances mostly occur during a short window: Between noon and 5pm.
He sits while others stand.
His covers bruises with makeup.
He had an MRI scan that he tried to hide from the public.

Totally agree! You might not want to bring it up if you're sitting across from a billionaire, but then, why not.
If politics are on the table for Thanksgiving and you want to find common ground -- a majority of all Americans, across party lines, support raising taxes on massive corporations and billionaires (and polling has shown this to be true for years).

It seems to me that the attack on Mark Kelly will only help Kelly and may propel him to run for President in 2028. I can visualize a ticket of Sen Kelly and Rep Crow, both of which will not be intimidated by the bully or "his" minions. Just a thought.

A narcissist cannot run a company effectively. Neither can a narcissist be an employee in the service of others. The reason is simple. It is always about them. Not their employees. Not their bosses or those who they serve. So, it's obvious that a narcissist could never be an effective President.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:
“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”
That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Narcissism cannot handle or process negative poll numbers, negative opinions, looking foolish, or being made fun of. We can expect more changing of the narrative, or pulling out all of the stops.
