Dear Mr President. If you ever were a pursuer of peace, you would still pursue peace, with or without recognition. To ‘change’ your position on the matter is to confess it has always been about recognition. Never about peace.

It is one thing to be the strongest military or economy in the western hemisphere. It is quite another to use such strength to bully, belittle & disrespect other nations. That choice demonstrates an immeasurable moral decay. Welcome to the 250th year of the USA.

Speaker Johnson, please, represent the people of LA who elected you & the members of your party who elected you & the Constitution you promised to uphold, and stop mindlessly doing the bidding of one, single person. Let’s get back to work, eh?

Funniest sign I saw at the rally I attended: “Canadians must feel like they’re living in a luxury upstairs apartment over top of a meth lab.” 🤣😂

President is “governing by social media” again claiming democrats want to give $1.5 trillion to so-called ‘illegal immigrants’ (also known as human beings) who he says are pouring into the country. Isn’t it his border czar who is responsible for any pouring into the country these days?

An invitation to the legislature of the USA. Get back to work. Stop hiding behind social media posts & short video sound bites. Get back in a room together. Sit on the same side of the table. Look at problems (instead of ‘the other side’) & negotiate solutions.

A 3rd political party is not the solution to the 2 party system flop! We need 4 or 5 parties so “winners” can remember they are not “the majority,” & must start from the very beginning negotiating & compromising so a “government” can represent all of us, not some of us.

The 2-party system is an utter failure —> not democracy, but the notion that only 2 parties can adequately represent the beautiful diversity that is the USA.

Off to rally today. As a non-party guy, it’s a chance to challenge the current state of things & build community with new friends.

Off to rally today. Among other things, it is an opportunity to call out the legislative and judicial branches for failing to provide the checks and balances they are to be!

He keeps SAYING “America First,” but he keeps DOING “Trump First”. I am increasingly certain he sees himself as the CEO and ALL the rest of us as employees and/or consumers. (TrumpRx? Really?)
