Happily married father and grandfather, former CEO, now happily retired. Have voted against Trump 3 times, and if we both live long enough, I’m sure I’ll vote against him some more (cause he ignores our constitution). Resist.

For #45, we elected a clown, and we got a circus. For #47 we’ve elected a criminal so we should expect crime. My concern is no longer can the US survive a 2nd Trump term; now I worry if the world can survive it.

Is there any available data that shows how many lawsuits the Trump administration is currently involved in….the legal fees alone probably account for the entire 15% increase in federal deficit spending.

I need to keep bringing this up to counter the lies….on Biden’s last day in office, a gallon of gas here in East TN was $2.59. Today, after President “lower costs on day 1”, a gallon of gas is $2.65. He lied people
PS: and he’s still lying. Maybe you’re not deplorable, but you are dense!!!

“On Friday, Pete Hegseth announced that a Qatari air force facility would soon be built in Idaho”

If Osama Bin Laden had known how easy it is to conquer America!!!! Just give a corrupt President a $400 million jet and he’ll roll out the red carpet (for Qatar AND for Russia).

John Gotti, mob boss, was the original Teflon Don. And, although he was one of the biggest crooks our country has ever seen, he had his supporters.
Trump is the new Teflon Don, and he’s a much larger crook than Gotti…and surprisingly, he too has supporters.

@hilton I just called to update my zip code. The agent asked me when I became a Hilton Honors member. I told him years ago; decades ago. He asked for the exact year. I used a four letter word and hung up. Unbelievable.

If Disney had any balls, and just a bit of integrity, they’d tell Nexstar to pound salt, and then pull the ABC broadcast rights from them.

I have an idea. Why doesn’t Disney tell Sinclair to F off, and pull the ABC franchise from them??

It’s the organizational structure. He works for a criminal (convicted) who is locking up people who’ve committed no crimes.

For the right wing crazies celebrating Kimmel’s suspension by saying he rejoiced when conservatives were fired, here’s the big difference….the “president” of the USA “influenced” this action. It wasn’t that an independent business just made the choice; they were given an “or else” ultimatum

When Donald Trump meets his former lawyer Roy Cohn in HELL, he can proudly tell him he finished what Cohn and McCarthy had started all those years ago…the destruction of America

This may be an unpopular opinion, but public schools should be fully funded so teachers get paid a minimum of $70k, and students should get free breakfast and lunch. If that means rolling back tax breaks for the ultra-rich... even better.
