So much crap. Just trying to share my personal take. These are my opinions and I would never ask a fellow American to be in lock step with me.
For awhile, I've thought that the Venezuela posturing by the orange administration was about oil, and nothing more. Yesterday, it was pretty much confirmed. I guess we now are into taking over a country for its resources. "Trump Oil"? Follow the money...

The more that Trump pushes to be an isolationist, the more he gets involved in external politics he claims to hate.

Tariff the world…. End up with our economy getting smacked up side the head when his billionaire buddies cry in their soup about how their profits are getting eaten up.

Pay attention. DOJ announces new investigations regarding the Epstein Files. Then the legislature passes and Trump signs the bill release “All Da Files”.

Problem is, not All Da Files will be released now that there are investigations pending.

Pass the lube, cause we’re being fucked again.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

And the filthy rich get even more filthy.

No CEO deserves to be paid $1T, but this is about more than that.

Shareholders voted to get even more filthy rich in their own right, literally banking on MrDadOfTheYear making them even more money.

Until something goes sideways, this will be a new trend.

Airports affected by Trump's slow-down: 40 Airports, 16 in Republican run states and 24 in Democratic run states.

CA has 5 major airports affected, with FL and TX each having 4.

This should be really interesting for the holidays.

Wifey and I live in a diverse suburb of the Bay Area. We're lucky to not want for food. I'm streaming against food insecurity until year end.

Please consider those who are not as lucky this season!

OK, Dems. You roared loudly last night. Now, what are you going to do with the momentum?

The government we’ve known for years lies in ruins.

Leadership has disappeared, replaced with media grubbing clowns.

They won’t stop until they’ve driven us back 50 years.

Has anyone confirmed that the priceless items in the East Wing were moved out before he demolished it?

Holy Shit. Just how much more BS are you all willing to put up with?

Let’s demolish OUR White House, let’s pardon just about every bastard feeding money to the first family, and let’s steal enough House seats to ensure they can continue to steal us all blind as they dismantle the country.

Let me understand…

ICE is being directed to show force at this year’s Super Bowl because Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican (US Citizen).

Makes sense since every illegal immigrant being targeted by Trump can afford several thousand dollars for a ticket to that game.

AI THE WORLD!

While we’re at it, let’s suck all the portable water for cooling and drive energy prices into the stratosphere. Oh, hey, we can also start up the fucking coal burning electric plants to supply that juice for our Corporate Overlords.

How much will YOU benefit? Hmm?

Jimmy didn’t lie. Now the affiliate wants him to apologize AND pay Kirk’s family, and he can have his job back.

Extortion much?

As usual, follow the money.

He was also 31, a husband, and a father to two young children. In what world does a label make it OK to shoot someone?
He was a fucking Nazi.

OK, I'm sure a number of you have very strong opinions regarding Charlie Kirk. While I didn't subscribe to his philosophies, I have to respect the manner in which he listened and understood a large segment of our population.

We need to listen...

DT: We’re slapping tariffs on you because we can.

DT: We want you to invest Big Beautiful Billions in our country.

DT: Build your factories here so ‘Mericans can work.

DT’s ICE: Hmmm, they all look like aliens to us…

Also DT: Please respect our immigration laws.
