If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

When Putin arrived in the USA in January, Trump rolled out a literal red carpet and then personally met him at the foot of the airplane steps.

When Zelinskyy arrived today, not only did Trump not greet him at the airport, NO US OFFICIAL MET HIM.

And yet Trump wants us to believe he is impartial.

The Trump Regime is trying to prevent U.S. states from enacting their own AI regulations and trying to pressure the EU into not protecting the online privacy of its citizens. They do not care about you at all.
The outrageous sanctioning of EU lawmakers and citizens in order to pressure democratically-elected European governments to change their laws shows just how intent the US government is on controlling Europeans' lives.

We must go into 2026 with eyes open.
The US can destroy a European's life with the swipe of a pen
This week's US sanctions against European lawmakers and privacy activists is a major escalation. And it shows the dangers of Europe relying on American economic infrastructure.

From now on, whenever anyone tells me I'm being an asshole or a dickhead, I will say no I'm not and show them this social media post because this is being an asshole.

I'm sure if the people doing this were to be convicted of fraud and sent to jail, the Trump Regime would pardon them.

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.

If Putin decides he wants Alaska back (claiming the sale was illegal), then invades, holds the western coast of Alaska and controls the Bering Strait, will Trump be cool with letting him keep it? Asking for a friend in Ukraine.

Another way to look at it is that it's time for young people to slide over and take the wheel and not just be a backseat driver shit posting on social media.
I’m old.

Not super mid 60’s.

It is WAY past time for old people, especially OLD WHITE PEOPLE, to get the hell out of politics.

Y’all have fucked this country up for decades!

Let the young people and especially the women run things.

Your old ways suck ass.

Go home.

Oh, btw , I’m white

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

If you're trying to figure out who was in on a conspiracy to overthrow the government via a violent insurrection, seems reasonable you'd want to see some phone records leading up to, during, and after the insurrection. Not sure how this qualifies as 'spying'.

Participated in No Kings yesterday in my smallish Tennessee town. Amazed at the turnout and more amazed at how many folks driving by honked their support. Felt good to be doing something.
