The USA has a criminal in the White House. That by itself is not THE serious problem since our constitution-based rule of law includes the provision to remove the criminal. However, the GOP CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE has rejected the US Constitution!

THIS IS THE CORE PROBLEM! GOP CRIME!

PM Carney owned the House!
PP tried to corner him on U.S. relations and the economy big mistake. Carney coolly reminded him “there is a thing called the private sector” while laying out Canada’s trade wins like a masterclass in leadership.

I’m not sure who this comedian is but man he’s so great!! Sometimes comedy has a special way of getting a message across! He ponders on the question “Is America Great Yet?”

Trump lost the Nobel Peace Prize to a Latina woman and now he’s throwing a full-blown tantrum! Dean Withers at his best here! The Chairman of the Committee said they only give the award to people with courage and integrity. Let’s use some sense, Trump has neither!

I think the stadium holding the Super Bowl should have extra security and not let anyone who doesn't have a ticket onto the stadium grounds. And I think Jay-Z and Roc Nation needs to hold strong. Stop letting MAGA run things. Have a great Super Bowl and tell ICE to kick rocks.

Lately, it's almost embarrassing to be white and male. I shudder when I read stories of so much racism. If you don't like people of color, stay away from them. I think they make the country a better place to live personally.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
