Right now, Republicans are more afraid of the president than their own constituents. They have contorted themselves into moral silence while this nation is driven in the wrong direction. They are to blame for this economy.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

When the Trump rebates tariffs to major corporations, how much do you think will trickle down to consumers through rebates or lower prices? I'm giving it +/- 5%.

Trump is talking about awarding himself the Medal of Honor. If he does, surely the next Democratic president will revoke it. Also, if he does, will that alienate his remaining base, or will they convince themselves that he earned that medal in combat? Nothing would surprise me about them.

He has now won-- 37-39% probably. He won not because of his pro-Ru orientation but partly despite it w a mandate to break the corrupt status quo (esp Peevski's hold on the judiciary). But someone who admires Ru cannot possibly do anticorruption. It's oxymoronic.

The answer to gross overreach is incessant pushback. When we fight, he loses. It's why we're here right now and why we've taken to the streets in record numbers. Both must continue until he's broken. It's either him, or us. One of those two things is simply unacceptable. youtube.com/shorts/6HRnp...

Trump is using the war with Iran to juice the stock market. Iran just said that the US Marines retreated from the Iranian Cargo ship while Trump is saying the Marines captured it. It's a sad day when we can believe the words of Iran more than the statements of the presiden of the United States.
