Good idea. If anything can go wrong, Trump will make it happen.

The first thing I read every morning on Facebook is Heather Cox Richardson’s Daily post. From her March 5 post (also on Substack), she says Trump claims he should be involved in choosing Iran’s new leader.
He seems to think he can use the threat of our military to give him personal global power.

This old nursery rhyme keeps running through my mind:
“The King was in his counting house, counting all his money; The Queen was in her parlor, eating bread and honey; The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes; Along came a blackbird and nipped off her nose.”

Trump-02 appears to be a made-for-TV reality show. He tries one headliner after another, checks the ratings, and then decides what to do next. Meanwhile innocent children, women, and men suffer and die while Trump plays his games.

Once when preparing to teach a math class, I read aloud a problem involving the length of a walk around a track. Our Pekinese went crazy.

Absolutely agree! Agenda for 2027 Congress: 1. Impeach Trump. 2. Add these requirements for anyone running for president.

No doubt AI is searching posts for the word “ICE”. Okay,
ICE is slippery, ICE IS dangerous. ICE can kill you. Let’s clear out ICE from our streets.

Trump, criticizing Bad Bunny’s half-time show, said “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying”. Guess he’s saying that anyone who knows Spanish is a Nobody. TRISTE

First time I’ve seen a bluebird at our front smart feeder which contains only seeds. They more commonly come to the suet in back when there is a heavy snow cover.

Trump seems to enjoy recklessly throwing his weight around on the world stage. It’s great for pushing off other headlines about him and his regime.

Make it billions or trillions. Trump doesn’t know the difference.

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

Deportation Quotas are the root cause of indiscriminate hunting out of illegals, just to give Trump bragging rights about his numbers. So:

1. NO deportation quotas.

Anyone who doesn’t know who Stephen Miller is should read the book Hatemonger published during Trump’s first term.
