Behind the safety of his mask.
08.10.2025 02:24 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The most important thing I've learned so far this year -- major corporations will sell out democracy in an instant if they think they can profit by it. We individual citizens are on our own.

08.09.2025 08:56 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. In Trump's 1st term his buddy Putin, at a Russian gov't meeting, showed a graphic of Russian hypersonic warheads descending on Florida and Trump said nothing. (But no real American would tolerate it.)

08.09.2025 08:45 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thanks for asking. Doing okay so far, all things considered, but I'd like to be more optimistic about the midterms next year. I'm sure it won't be a "red wave" but I'd like to see more enthusiasm for Democrats rather than just no enthusiasm for MAGA. I really want to see a massive victory.

25.08.2025 18:14 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I can't provide numbers, but IIRC flag burnings went way down after the Supreme Court made that ruling. But Trump is that rare combination of ignorance, incompetence, and control freak. Well, okay -- maybe not that rare.
25.08.2025 18:11 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I've pointed this out myself. Funny how it worked out that way.

02.06.2025 03:30 β π 6 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Maybe they should worry a little less about Trump and a little bit more about their customers and communities.
22.05.2025 08:38 β π 28 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0Sorry to hear this. Take care.
22.05.2025 08:20 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Another way for Trump to humiliate America.
22.05.2025 08:13 β π 12 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Because, Donald, her doctorate is in education. Something you know very little about.
19.05.2025 04:07 β π 13 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0"Disagreeing" is part of politics. If we didn't disagree, we wouldn't need politics. But abuse, threats, slander and worse are not politics. They're part of organized crime.

15.05.2025 03:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Hardly surprising. Who, in this administration of billionaires, has ever been told "No" growing up? Who has ever been denied their third doll or their sixth pencil?
15.05.2025 03:34 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Well, since when has Trump ever cared about other people's safety?
15.05.2025 03:32 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I've had similar thoughts.
