Guns haven't made us safer. Trickle-down hasn't made us richer. Global warming is real. Fair taxes & reasonable regulation aren't Socialism, Communism or fascism.

"he had a man". The "he" refers to his opponent, who was a woman.
Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

It really isn’t said enough how much these people straight up hate America. People should say this a lot more frequently. They simply don’t like the good parts of modern American life.
"Sources in the Trump administration have previously told Zeteo that officials will at times intentionally use popular music from vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war,"
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.
In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

Russia is far too poor to make America as a whole substantially richer. But it’s definitely got enough to make the president and his friends richer.
“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

A not-small part of what is going on with Trump and Hegseth is that they get sadistic glee out of torturing service members.
Trump is a draft dodger and Hegseth got pushed out of military. They're both failures at what they see as a test of manhood. So they lash out at those who didn't fail.

Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.
It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

If the plan was to deliberately destroy both education and healthcare in this country, I can't imagine what they'd be doing differently.
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing students loans. Also excluded are NP’s, PA’s, PT’s. This comes when there as an extreme nursing shortage and $20K sign on bonuses for nurses. 😡
