Always a right wing evangelical Christian white male.
The majority, anyway. For a reason.
People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia.
Donald Trump is golfing.
I have talked to veterans all over the country. Theyโre not happy that, when the VA is already understaffed, Musk wants to dismember the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.
A commitment has been made to those who put their lives on the line to defend us. We must not betray them.
Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.
THIS is white privilege, in case you were wondering

Something Rep. Al Green told me has really stayed with me:
โI think we have to do as much as we can, as fast as we can to prevent him from becoming a dictator.โ
Rep. Green is a man of principle and is genuinely concerned by Trumpโs overreach. He should be lauded not punished.
BREAKING - Trump just said he doubts whether France or other NATO members would help America if we needed it.
WRONG. The Article 5 mutual defense obligation has been invoked only ONCE in the 75 years of NATO.
To help America. After 9/11. And our allies answered the call.

Another Evangelical youth pastors arrested for the rape of a minor.
It's a plague of Biblical proportions within the White Evangelical sect.
Those people voted overwhelmingly for 47, who himself raped underage females.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY.
David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: โBone spurs.โ
What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isnโt whether heโs lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
The Senate just voted to confirm Linda McMahon as education Secretary. Reminder that she and Vince McMahon face a civil lawsuit where they are accused of knowlingly enabling sexual exploitation of children by a longtime employee.

Given the dark history behind the slogan โAmerica Firstโ perhaps they should have worded this differently. Especially since GWB benefited from NATO and Allies after the horrible events of 9/11.

Iโm still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and itโs difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.
This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance arenโt just Putinโs puppets, theyโre his assets.
Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."
