Independent guy from MN, open-minded to all points of view, but I detest ad-hominem attacks. Interested in politics, foreign affairs.

Also, I am a history buff and a language nerd.

I've got opinions, but I try not to take them too seriously.
It's MAGA lemmings racing each other to see who can jump off the cliff first.

MAGAs suddenly support seizing another country's wealth by brute force, and spreading war to other countries (Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, etc.)?

They are against Europe, particularly Denmark (which administers Greenland), because an insane resurrection of the Monroe doctrine.

I miss the USA.

I am so glad I signed up for Democracy Docket. It's a beacon or sanity in a world turned upside down.

I sure miss those days.

His Cuban roots from my "ciudad hogar" (hometown), aka Miami, FL are also showing. Marco grew up indoctrinated by the Cuban "exile" media in Miami, which was radically anti-Cuban-communist even before Reagan. Hence his trumpian bona-fides as a warrior against Latin-American "Marxism".

Reactionary.

I'll give credit to Reagan for leadership that ended the inflation/stagnation of the late 1970's. He managed to change "inflationary expectations."

On foreign policy he was a cold-warrior who didn't mind abusing the US military when it suited him. And let's not forget Nancy's "just say no" debacle

I believe you are wrong. I grew up in the 1960's. 70's and 80's. Nowadays I ALWAYS vote for democracy and the rule of law. That makes me diametrically opposed to MAGA in all its various forms and mutations. I'm not even a Democrat, I'm independent. Respecting the Constitution isn't just for liberals

I am proud of the few outspoken defenders of soul of the US, Sens. Van Hollen, Whitehouse, Klobuchar, Reps. Garcia. and others. Rubio has sold out. MAGAts are very hypocritical if they continue to support this administration.

This is the face of dictatorship. May G-d help us.

I have drifted away from 60 minutes, a show that I have followed since I was a teenager in the 1970's. I fell away, slowly at first, but totally, meaning I *never* watch it, in the dictator trump era. They are nothing but a mouthpiece for corporate greed and billionaire interests.

How exactly? Some ideas: bottom-feeders, sons and daughters of Satan? Traitors to the USA? F***ed up brain-dead morons?
Diseased gutter slime? And those are their GOOD points!

Those idiots are about as christian as little martian green men practicing DEI in Mars' "canals". Oh, wait. That's just the latest groyper conspiracy theory. If Jesus were to return today, I bet he would be ambushed, physically abused and deported by ICE. Luckily, that's not possible.

DILF is the operative word for me, judging by the photo.

I was hoping to be the bearer of good news: Trump is likely on his last legs.

Now, we need to URGENTLY need to tell our leaders NO WAR against Venezuela.

The news cycle is repetitive, which is good, because followers of the story about Hegseth's drug boat murders are bombarded with so much info-tainment that they forget that *the DUI hire at the top of the Defense Department is incompetent and MUST GO!* The real US doesn't murder people on suspicion!
