So let me get this straight…the 34-count convicted felon who is shredding our constitution and committing crimes daily, and who pardoned 1500 Jan 6th terrorists, wants to deport “home grown “ criminals to prison in El Salvador? Maybe he should be the first to go.

The fact that the Trump admin can admit to sending someone to that hell hole prison in El Salvador in error and it still decides NOT to bring him back, is horrifying and maddening. They appealed to SCOTUS to continue to refuse to bring him back. You have to be a special kind of evil to do that.

So, the NFL doesn’t want to end racism anymore? They are removing “End Racism “ from the end zones because tRump is attending the game? It’s clear they never meant it. Their real values and intentions are being exposed.

Since our congressmen and senators want to abdicate their responsibility to be a check on the executive branch, they should just resign. There’s no greater example of “waste” than using our tax dollars to pay salaries to people who clearly aren’t doing their jobs. #doyourjob

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

Let’s refrain from “normalizing” threatening our allies as a way to “start a negotiation “. Decent people schedule a meeting to discuss and negotiate. Bullying is NEVER okay. Just because Mexico and Canada caved doesn’t make this tactic any less toxic. Don’t embrace toxicity.

To anyone offended by the Bishop asking Trump to show mercy on the vulnerable, if you consider yourself to be a Christian, go reread your Bible and have a little talk with Jesus. Your words and behavior should align with the Word of God, not the word of Trump. Check yourself!
