A greater reason for war with Venezuela may be its nationalizing of it's oil reserves, larger than Saudi Arabia's & the consequential loss of billions of $$s by Exxon Mobil & et al. This is why he told them to contribute to him b\c he'd make them richer. They couldn't care less about immigrants.

Trump's Era should once & for all, end any conversation proffering our nation should be run like a business. 1st problem, businesses are set-up to earn profit, the mindset of a businessperson, not public service. 2nd, even if the U.S. was indeed a business, why in the Hell would we pick Trump!!?

On his post & stance to our current military re legal\illegal military orders, absolutely!
But on other issues, not so much b\c he is a Moderate Dem & has weakened us, but for now, we all need to be at his side.

The next Democrat POTUS should be warming up in the bullpen b\c once again a Republican is about to crash the economy. I'm beginning to wonder, are we masochistic or could it be time for a reoccurring Corporate plan to replenish their gov't bail\handouts?

Has Sean Duffy seen this? He's not going to be happy, given his remedy of how to improve our air travel.

Yes, we are a very violent nation b\c violence & the fear of violence is a very profitable industry.

Trump is damn lucky Mexico does not compete on the global military stage. Just imagine the territory they would demand returned.
(Yes, I know, land stolen from Native N. Americans, but I had a point to raise)

Via a sound public ed system (required of a nation & community) we learn words, meanings & how to communicate, to have common reference points. What quickly changes are interjections of personal agendas, e.g., $$, power, status then using words to meet personal goals, not that of the people's will.

Yes. In '16 Bernie said it'd take a revolution to change this nation's broken systems & to change course. We didn't give it to him. If we don't give you the power, they (Corporate Media, DNC Inc., GOP) will blame you but we know the truth, it'll be on us.

Private education, supported by public taxes, is another, like SS, our Military &Healthcare, discovered income stream for Republicans, but 1st they had to sell the misconception that Public Ed. was failing; Reagan's "A Nation at Risk" took care of that.

Corporations are like sharks, never sleeping, looking for ways to increase profits & lower production costs; their favorite target?, labor & quality.

Just the best get to work for Trump.

Au contraire, DOGE did exactly what it was supposed to do, give Musk payback, cover for his sucking the public teat while appearing for Trump to cut into the federal swamp. It was never about saving us $$.

And just how would Public School teachers go about solving "their problem"?
Short-mindeness is woefully inadequate in trying to describe how he "thinks", for from him sprung MAGA, community dissolvement, a divided nation & the rise of GOP authoritarianism.

Trump bragged that Walmarts' annual Thanksgiving Basket, is cheaper today by ≈ 8$ than last yr. under Biden. He failed to mention, & media interviewer failed to point out, that 1 yr. ago the basket had 21 items in it, today, it has 14. Typical Trump math.

Try, "The Will of the People".
OK, if they, or any "representative", place themselves before & above the people's will, then replace them, make them pay for this, take their job away. For this sole issue, put others aside as this is a struggle for power, power to change & take up other challenges.

Who's going to question it, Corporate Media? Of course not, we will have to demand it. Ever since he let loose with his 1st vindictive 3rd grade name calling, (was it "Nasty Woman", "Pocahontas"?), we should've demanded his disqualification to be on stage, but then again $$ & bigotry run deep.

When he is bedridden due to dementia, can you imagine what he'll be yelling out? We'll never know, after all look at how they immortalized Reagan: DC Airport, Fed. Building, an Aircraft Carrier, Highways... Too bad Melania isn't more like Nancy, she's not very protective.
