In Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, treason is defined as "levying war against the United States..." this is exactly what Donald Trump is doing for his own agenda. Texas Governor Greg Abbot is supporting this, so is committing treason too.

My respect grows for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker!

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 11h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

The Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney has charged 20-year-old Eleanor Cribbs with reckless driving & using a handheld device.

She killed pedestrian 67-year-old James Leroy Jones.

A case where the justice does not meet the crime. Bicyclists & pedestrians are often killed with no consequence!

I think it very clear that in a future where Democrats control Congress and the While House, laws need to be written so that none of those listed are paid during a government shutdown.

They need to feel the pain too!

Donald Trump will say the bailout money will come from the tarrifs he is raking in.

However, from my just being at the grocery store, it is very clear that the American consumer is the one paying the cost.

I was glad to see this:

"A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder in a hit-and-run crash that killed two friends while they were riding an e-bike in New Jersey, officials announced Wednesday."

Robyn was blamed for their own death by the NYPD. Not the box truck driver who killed them!

The Infuriating Conclusion of the NYPD’s Investigation into Robyn Hightman’s Death

The official report blames the deadly collision on “bicyclist error.” How is that even possible?

Do you remember when the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) could be counted on to reliability report jobs numbers? This was when Joe Biden was President.

There is no October report because the BLS is closed due to the government shutdown, how convienent!

Diaper Donny wants to hide the numbers.

Remember this?

It isn't just Trump that has a "concept of a plan", it is also the GOP members of congress.

They have no plan and - like Trump - blame the Democrats!

I have a HP Reverb G2 Virtual Reality Headset for my work.

The specs on the Apple Vision Pro are very impressive. However, the base price of $3,499 is prohibitive. Plus, the fact I am on Android & Windows would not make them very useful to me.

On eBay one can get a used Reverb for under $200.

My daughter Robyn was killed when she was run over by the speeding & distracted driver of a box truck that just ran a red light. Who did the NYPD blame for Robyn's death? Robyn!

This is another example of Trump's dementia, where he is confusing the Portland protests of 2020 with those now.

Portland protests 2025 vs 2020: Trump conflates the 2, but facts show no comparison

Trump believes Portland has been “War ravaged” for years. Here’s a look at that history.

Argentina or Venezulea?

For non-nationals, Argentina is more likely than Venezuela to extradite individuals to third countries, such as the United States.

Trump Suggests He’ll Flee to Venezuela If Harris Wins the Election

He absurdly claimed that the South American dictatorship will be safer than the US.

In time what President Joe Biden did for the country maybe forgotten...

What Donald Trump has done and is doing to the country will not be forgotten for hundreds of years, if not more.

Some stains can not be gotten out and Trump is one of those!

When I lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Bicycle Route 76 went right by where I lived. As it was at the top of a steep hill, bicyclists often stopped there. Being a bicylist myself, I often offered them ice and water.

I can not blame this South Korean company at all, after the large U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on a Hyundai-LG Energy Solution battery factory in Georgia in September.

With Donald Trump in charge, they they need new hats!
