With Trump it's all about destruction, losses and racism, inequality xenophobia. A vulture in the White House

This is exactly what the GOP has wanted. They will not curtail the Felon in any way because they know their voters would be up in arms if they voted for tariffs and destroying the Dept of Ed.

There's a recent poll, saying most Americans don't believe the Felon has too much power. This is because right wing media continues to spew the lies from the Felon's administration is only getting rid of the truly "bad guys". Wait till the Felon declares Martial Law and starts departing US Citizens to El Salvador (only the "bad guys" for sure).

Sobering, and well-written, thank you.

After reading History professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat's book "Strongmen" (2020) a few years ago, I'm convinced everything he / they have done to date has been with intention to divide Americans and sow economic, medical and social chaos. It seems to me all these collective actions are aimed at his goal of being a dictator, as Professor Ben-Ghiat outlines in "Strongmen".

Trump is a tariff terrorist, and the casualties are only just beginning to mount. Callousness, Chaos, Destruction, and Vindictiveness are the four horsemen of his apocalypse. No one is secure; no one is safe!

I think that as the fallout from this disastrous Administration continues to impact more and more Americans, it will be very difficult to hide the truth and it will be easier for GOP voters to realize this is not what they voted for. There is only so much "fake" news can do when people see what their money can buy and when they are already seeing the precipitous decline in their investments, especially those of us who are retired and trying to supplement our incomes with market based annuities. I personally saw $10,000 disappear in 2 weeks.

Such much critical information. Thanks.

I hadn't known about The Impact Project. Fantastic tool for defending democracy.

And probably 90% of his voters will keep voting for the orange felon and his hangers-on.

Without a doubt, I am now convinced that this demon is indeed mentally ill, a la Nero, Caligula, Hitler, Stalin, etc etc. Anyone with any ounce of mental stability would not be doing a quarter of what he is doing; would be firing staff who put the country at security risk (Kegseth), would be firing other staff who put the country at legal risk (Barbie Pam), and would definitely be kicking to the curb Musk who simply has not a clue about his firing and then rehiring activities. Such a moron. Ridiculous sky-high tariffs with our Allies would not be happening, resulting in losses of jobs, losses of business (not his of course), etc. With any luck at all, voters, who can still vote in this country, will kick out the a-holes out of Congress, and vote in reasonable reps in 2026, and then impeachment proceedings can begin. Of course, at his age and crappy health, (don't care what his suck up doctor has to say), who knows what may happen before that time?

The evil orange felon who doesn't read, needs to bring everyone down to his level or probably lower. Anyone with limited income, if the person still has a job, will be unable to survive.

I am a retired educator whose retirement monies keep dropping. Perhaps it's time to move to a democratic country not ruled by a cruel, thoughtless, group with the cruel and, possibly insane or demented, orange felon as its spokesperson.

Tariffs will also increase your property taxes. When tariffs start making everything expensive it affects schools and eventually your property taxes and your rent. That’s the reason why a state senator wants to annex the near million dollar lake front property homes to a local city in Alabama. If they don’t succeed in this annexation the property taxes will increase big time.

I just want the media to pester the FF and his DOGE bros until they finally admit that these actions are being effected with no process, no reasoning, no motive except for random swagger and Dunning Kruger effect.

Just haphazard thoughts darting around in their tiny brains.
