Most trumpers around here have no idea about project 2025. They just like him because heโ€™s a white ruthless man.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Of course it should have. And the insurrection. And the documents stuffed all over Mar a Lago and who knows where else. Just to mention a few of the crimes.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Thank you. If I had really good luck Iโ€™d get the heck out of here!! Itโ€™s not in the cards Iโ€™m afraid.

At least the UK papers are reporting the truth. US media is afraid to anger Trump www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Vaccines do not just protect us against infectious diseases. New data from large-scale studies shows that four vaccines, Influenza, Shingles, RSV, and Tdap, are linked to a lower risk of dementia.

With our Supreme Court as it is, why do we even need a congress? Checks and balances is a thing of the past. Supreme Court says yes to a Dictatorship.

โ€œWhoโ€™s going to pay for universal healthcare, affordable housing & social supports? You???โ€

This is always asked as a gotcha. As though the person expects me to recoil and say of course not.

The answer is Yes.

I would happily pay my fair share to ensure everyone is cared for.

Comey handed trump the presidency in 2016. This is all so surreal.

Iโ€™m no fan of James Comey, in fact Iโ€™d go so far as to say I hate him for what he did to Hillary, but this indictment is absolutely petrifying. Our democracy, our Constitution, our country is at stake here. This simply canโ€™t stand.
