Left-leaning Political Independent in NW Iowa. I support equal rights for everyone. Capital punishment is state-sponsored murder. Republicans seem to be hell-bent on destroying our government, and forcing the U.S.A. to its knees.

Opinion: Ha, ha, ha. Illiterate Donald J6 Trump didn't conceive his comments. I doubt he has even bumped into a book on Socrates, much less read one. Kirk didn't deserve the medal that Trump has defiled so many times.

Opinion: Former British MP Michael Portillo is correct, and his critics, on this, are wrong. Trump is, indeed, an incompetent moron and a lunatic. His "success" in Gaza remains to be seen. History will be the judge.

Opinion: I believe this will make crazy Donald J6 Trump happy. The fear, the chaos, the social and economic costs to the Democratic cities and states, are what he's seeking. These "Gestapo" deployments are pure punishment against Democrats. Trump is evil.

Opinion: Nobody should expect intelligent discourse from "Moses" Mike. He's where he is purely as a Trump sycophant. Among congressional Republicans, "what Trump wants, Trump gets." They're all cowardly little followers, doing crazy Trump's bidding.

Opinion: Vast numbers of Americans believe Donald J6 Trump repeatedly appears in the Epstein files. All congressional Republicans Know that Trump is featured prominently in the Epstein files. Congressional Republicans continue to protect their own pedophiles.

And a lot of people believed him, prior to the 2024 election.

Racism is becoming "popular," again. Though racism never really went away, Donald J6 Trump is largely responsible for its reemergence in mainstream discourse. Trump is the most negative influence on American behavior that I've seen in my 80 years.

Many of the videos are difficult to watch, but it is also important to bear witness to what is happening to human beings on the streets of America.

Opinion: No one is likely to describe Tom Homan as a man of integrity. So far, as I recall, I have seen no quotes from Donald J6 Trump, J.D. Vance, or Pam Bondi, describing Homan as an honest man.
