Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

1-1. Dr. Chuck Baldwin — a pastor at Liberty Fellowship in Montana — just unloaded on Pedo Trump and didn’t hold back. He called him a lifelong gangster. A sexual predator. A felon. A bully. A malignant narcissist. A Zionist political opportunist. A philanderer. A cheat. A hedonist. A blackmailer.

People need to shout this from the rooftops. Democrats CANNOT LOWER COSTS. They will 1) not have the power, 2) most people don't understand what deflation is or does to an economy, 3) most of the reason for our inflated costs comes from Republican fascist foreign policy which Trump still controls.

Hot take: the polls might be underestimating Democrats still because of the potential of historic turnout from Democrats combined with Republican fatigue. But we can't take it for granted. We have to vote as if it's 2024.

Congress passed it. The president signed it. Then, with five days left in the fiscal year, Trump canceled nearly a billion dollars of it anyway. It's called a pocket rescission, and Congress's nonpartisan watchdog says it's illegal. a Every American should care who controls the power of the purse.

Transparency is part of the process of democratic governance. It’s irritating for leaders, but indispensable for democracies. It’s what permits the electorate to understand the truth about the wars they’re asked to support and to fight. And it’s what binds the people to the armies that serve them.
