People keep talking about the next election like there's going to be one.
We will (probably) vote again, but no one has cause for certainty on that, and even if we do vote again, no one has any reason at all to think it will be legitimate.
There's a whole lotta Pollyanna going on out there.

I'd gladly trade the entire Democratic leadership team for a ham sandwich. Half a sandwich would be enough.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

We'll blow up Venezuelan people in boats, but the Sackler family is right here in America, and they're untouchable.
They have killed well over 600,000 Americans, and they'll get invited to the White House long before they ever see accountability.
It's not about drugs. And it never has been.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
