If Iran did move their Uranium before the bomb strikes. Then, Trump was Three-card monte on his bet.

Uhm...when Trump tried to sweep the whole idea of a pandemic under the rug as a hoax...and then offered bleaching people as a solution...the whole world should have known he was...bonkers. We have a deranged, idiot in charge of our country. Now, he's starting his 2nd term with a supporting cast of idiots. The AG and the SoD are unbelievable. I don't know what to think of the likes of MTG and JG as spokespeople for the government. The disregard for the rule of law that the ICE bs has burdened America with is just awful. Trump used his doge cuts on a $50mill military parade...for what?!!! Trump said he would bring down the cost of things. Are things cheaper in America now? I gotta say, when I visited last year...I was shocked. One of the best meals I had was from a taco truck in Chicago. I wonder if those guys have been deported.

When the orange felon king was inaugurated the first time I thought okay lets see what a businessman can do. Little did I know he was a corrupt businessman who had little regard for anyone other than himself. He said his inauguration crowd was bigger than Obama's. I wondered why did he persist in saying that when it was obvious that wasn't true? Then there was the hurricane which he drew his estimate of it's path with a sharpie. I thought wtf? He's got to be crazy or something so I started looking for psychiatrists or psychologists who were noticing what he was doing and sure enough they were alarmed. He was not normal and obviously had a debilitating mental problem. The psychologists and psychiatrists tried to warn everyone but the APA (American Psychiatric Association) pulled a political move and banned their members from speaking about him. This didn't stop the psychiatrists from speaking out but it did stop the news media from covering it. This undoubtedly is the biggest disservice to America by any science organization ever. They all know he is unfit and stay silent about it.

I like the fact that Musk seems to understand that the US deficit needs to be cut not increased. He opposes Trump's big beautiful...

I guess if you're MAGA, you're entitled to tell any kind of lie. Like the Texas flood is fake.

But then again, maybe she's not the only crazy MAGA around as MTG sounds off.

Trump's attempt to change our democracy into a gestapo state is just wrong. I don't understand how raiding Dodgers baseball games and Home Depots for anyone who doesn't look like us is normal. Are we gonna start hiding immigrants in the walls like sensible people did in reaction to the Nazis back in the day?!!! Immigration enforcement officials are useless. They are destroying productive communities that are thriving despite immigration laws. The real enemy is not immigrants but immigration policy.

Since his presidency the orange felon king has been steadily making progress in stopping all the checks and balances that make a democracy work. We are far less free to day than when he took office. The ICE thing is part of his plan to become the dictator. First he convinces the people that one type of person is causing all the problems in the USA. Then he sets about to deport them only that is extremely expensive so he will make concentration camps for them. He has to convince the people that these people aren't human, that they aren't worth humane treatment that all humans deserve. Once he has done that he will torture them and kill them and then convince the people that other types of people are similarly less than human like his political opponents or business opposition. He isn't that smart, he is just following what Hitler did. In the meantime he is grifting the American people to the max. The problem is the president has a mental illness and he has passed this on to a large portion of the population via the media. the immigration policy is only part of a bigger scheme that is going on in several different front right now. The thing that will stop him is huge protests.
