From the "US Armed Forces Oath of Enlistment"
"support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
"obey the orders of the President of the United States..."
This poses a dilemma when the enemy is the President of the United States.

Why do Palestinians support Hamas even though it's not in their best interest? Why do Republicans support Trump even though it's not in their best interest ( or the country's). Perhaps Hamas threatens Palestinians just like Trump threatens Republicans "Do as you're told or else."

As a modern political tradition, "antagonistic to change in the institutions of a country," often especially "opposed to changes toward pure democracy," conservatism traces to Edmund Burke's opposition to the French Revolution (1790).

Donald wanys to run the government like a business. All Donald's businesses either went bankrupt or were bailed out. He will intentionally bankrupt the US government and default on the national debt thinking he can just walk away with no consequences and then claim to have made a great deal.

The going strategy is to make it to 2026. The reality is there is nothing to stop Republicans from committing massive election fraud. Trump owns the Justice Dept. and the Supreme Court. He has dismantled all entities responsible for election oversite. Folks, It ain't business as usual any more.

Conservatives make my head explode. Any time I try to comprehend their ideology (e.g. Project 2025) or actions it sends my brain into cognitive dissonance mode.

If I recall, it was Donald Trump who abandoned nuclear negotiations with Iran that the Obama administration was close to finalizing when his term ended.
With that said, shouldn't Trump take responsibility for the current Israeli/Iran war?
Why is none talking about this?

Trump is transaction oriented, a "deal maker". Once the deal is done, the transaction is over, Donald walks away and washes his hands. Government is not transaction oriented. It is a continuous process. The deal is never done, you can't walk away. Donald needs to go back to declaring bankruptcies.

All this talk about what Elon has done and continues to concern me. Elon is nothing more than Donald's lackey. Elon gives Donald "plausible deniability". When the shit hits the fan, he will throw Elon under the the bus, but in the end DONALD is responsible for everything Elon does.
