ICE is nothing more than a lawless paramilitary force populated by thugs and miscreants. Everyone, from its director to the agent on the street needs to stand for an accounting before the law and dispatched accordingly (dismissal and/or prison)

People in this country from one end to the other are hurting and angry. OBTW that’s what started the French Revolution!

Yoh David Ellison! How does feel to have your chum Donald put Iranian crosshairs on your new mega investment in Burbank (LA)?

The mere fact of what he said is treason! San Diego is home base to the largest naval facility on the west coast. He’s bekoning another Pearl Harbor! LA is the largest transport hub on the west coast. Eliminate these metro sites and the whole nation suffers a catastrophe. Trump is sick.

What Hegseth did in purging Gen Chris Donahue and the 40+ before him is reminiscent of Stalin’s purge of Red Army GOs in 1930’s. In 1941, that cost Russia the lives of 2 mil soldiers (KIA, WIA AND POWs). Hegseth, because of his incompetence and hatred of good leaders is making the same mistake.

ICE operations are nothing short of NAZI methods. Abolish ICE and restore sanity to immigration regulation under the law.

If I recall, the sailor has the right to refuse non- judicial punishment and request a Summary Court-Martial by which a JAG officer will be assigned and who can request a psychological assessment be made of his state of mind at the time of the alleged UCMJ infraction.

Not that our soldiers, sailors and airmen don’t deserve the best in support, they emphatically do. But, I wonder if our military successes during WW2 were born in part from the quality of the men and women emerging from the hardships of the depression had better coping mechanisms for deprivations.

The death of “Jackie” the beloved eagle from Big Bear CA is a symbolic metaphor of our steep decline in international prestige and power under and because of trump.

Watching the Senate Committee hearing, during which Dr Fauci was mercilously grilled trying to trip him into perjury, is like reading aloud the inquisition of Jean d’Arc. Good soûls being twisted by evil.

If Dem and Independent voters are motivate to vote and GOP voters are not, and if trump succeeds in dramatically restricting mail-in ballots, the GOP stands to be the bigger loser. If not motivated to vote, why stand in line for hours? Motivated Dems and Independents will!

Trump’s narcissism is the manifestation of his fear of death. As a result, he: is selfish; clings to his belongings, his safe spaces and familiarities; flouts authority; ignores social mores; and steals from others to provide for himself. He really is a sick person.

Like Pharaoh Ankhenaten, when trump is no more, we can erase him from our memorial memory. His ugly face banners removed. The Ballroom demolished, the Rose Garden restored, LaFayette Park restored, Arch de Trump demolished, the East Wing restored, and on!

With Sen Graham’s passing, trump losses his No. 1 enabler in the Senate. As they say down South “bless his heart”.

“…they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” By Life - right to medical care, shelter, and sustenance? By Liberty - right to freely choose reproduction? By Happiness - right to marry whomever?

If we take the House and Senate, the next Dem President must expand the court and reverse this BS SCOTUS BS above a unitary President that gives him imperial powers!!!

Lady Liberty calls out: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” The soul of every living citizen today owes their existence, Native Americans included, to immigrant ancestors. Hypocrisy runs deep throughout trump’s government, SCOTUS included!

EXPAND THE COURT!!! When we take back the WH, in 2028, expand SCOTUS x4 and add justices whose heads are rooted to the 21st Century.

Watching the inaugural of the Obama Presidential Center and Library, the words of Ted Kennedy come to mind: “For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." Amen. Stay in the good fight, persevere and endure.

Trump’s ballroom is his Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Among all the isms that afflict him, he suffers an immense illusion of grandeur thinking of himself as if he were the Sun King Louis XIV. Time to end his time to save the Republic.

So the reflecting pool, after millions spent to paint the bottom blue, is now a beautiful shade of Kelly green. Ha!! Any good engineer would have flushed the water lines feeding the pool to Baker tanks until they had clear water running. Idiots!!! Another project turned to shit touched by trump.

Hegseth’s apoplectic, disingenuous cultural war rant during his commencement address to the graduating class at West Point was disgusting, inappropriate, insulting and just damn wrong. When you have a band of brothers from different cultures going to war with common purpose, the bond is unbreakable

I’ve been a student of the French Revolution for some time. The more things change (time) the more they remain the same (human condition). Things here in the US relative to those who have and those who don’t is worst than 1789 when the Bastille was stormed. It didn’t end well for the “haves”.

Our mafioso president is making the Federal Government his very own crime syndicate, and GOP just sits on the sidelines with their thumb up their collective ass. Given their authority to do something; doing nothing makes them complicit and an accessory to the crime.

The White House and DOJ is nothing more than a criminal cesspool: graft, cronyism, fraud, etc.. Will the GOP legislative bodies do anything? No, they run away as the cowards they ALL ARE!!!

All this garbage about a “new” South, that we’ve heard about these past decades is BS. What we’ve seen this past week down there, in redistricting to negate the black vote, is the racism that still exists below the surface of what was the Confederacy; a malignant cancer to our Union.

So, James Carville, on the suggestion of a genteel southern dame, trump’s face reminded her of her husband’s scrotum; ergo a no moniker for trump: “scrotum face”.

Interesting. Comey gets charged by DOJ for posting 8647 on social media, allegedly a threat to trump. Yet trump tells MTG if her son were to be killed because of her support of Epstein victims, his death was on her. This just isn’t rank hypocrisy, it’s abject sickness. Trump is mentally sick!

What is needed today is a 2d Civil Rights movement from Millennials, Gen Z, et al, to take civil rights and voting rights to the streets as we did in the 60s and 70s! It’s your time and your future! Do it!!

Mad dog trump has backed himself into a corner. 33% approval results from: surging gas $, affordability crisis, Epstein scandal, rising inflation, an illegal war, etc.. Like a rabid dog he may invoke the insurrection act to stall midterm elections to retain power. An actual insurrection may result.

We Americans should do what the Egyptians did 4000 years ago when Pharaoh Akhenaten died. Erase every evidence that he even lived. Destroy the Arch de Trump if built. Destroy the Golden Ballroom if built. Restore the Oval Office as it was. Obliterate everything trump

If you think of what a post trump America should be, we’ll to have a cultural revolution. Under trump, culture has nullified every institution we held dear, save the judiciary - minus the SCOTUS. All, except the judiciary, lost their courage and integrity. Restoration will be hard, but must endure.

Thinking out of the box. Arab oil cartel establishes an international oil terminal in Oman on the Indian Ocean shore. All oil producers construct pipelines to said terminal thus completely by pass the Gulf and neutralizing Iran’s threat. Arabs can work out the details.

I sincerely hope Americans have not lost the lyrics and spirit of Neil Diamond’s song “Coming to America”. It is who we truly are. A nation of immigrants. Who among us can say we or our ancestors came from another place. No one; save native Americans. OBTW, they too are immigrants from Asia.

Hegesth’s rabble-rousing assertion that: “…we’ll show no quarter and show no mercy…” is A WAR CRIME!!! Trump’s assertion of bombing Iran “…to the Stone Age…” is a war crime. Is this what we are as Americans? Hell no!!!

Trump’s rush to war without defined strategic objectives, clear goals to achieve them and doable execution plans to achieve the goals created confusion at home, doubt among allies, market chaos, elevated tensions with our adversaries and more economic misery among our friends and neighbors…

Clearly, Trump is a criminal within our own borders. Since launching a war of aggression without the authorization of our national legislative representatives; he now an international criminal. Another new low for the US Presidency.
