He spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast. The same day, he posted a disgusting racist meme. This is white Christian Nationalism.

Every single major Democratic politician condemned the murder of Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, before EVEN KNOWING WHO THE SHOOTER WAS, the Republican president gave a speech calling for VIOLENCE against Democrats.

The French Parliament has ousted the second Prime Minister in less than a year due to "no confidence". I sure wish we could do that here.

OK. We know Trump is in serious cognitive decline and won't last for all 4 yrs. Maybe he won't last for all of '25. What about all of the other reprobates that surround him? The entire cabinet of misfits need to go. One-by-one. Anyone know of a plan?

From The Guardian: Donald Trump warned Elon Musk on Saturday that he faces “very serious consequences” if he funds Dem candidates following the pair’s epic public bust-up this week. Elon Musk, or anyone , should be able to fund anyone he wishes. The Dictator Wanna Be needs to reckon with that.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

I am convinced. Someone else proposes these Executive Orders, writes the content, then tells him where to sign. Because the president on his own appears to be clueless.

If anyone has dishonored the Oval Office it is the current president and vice president. Such an embarassment. So offensive to democracy. There are almost no words to describe the behaviour exhibited today in the WH. Those in the WH that support this behaviour should be ashamed.

There’s no doubt Air Force general CQ Brown, Jr. was fired because he’s black and dared to talk about race. There’s no doubt that Pete Hegseth was appointed Defense Secretary because he’s a drunk womanizer who has no ethics no morals no qualifications but pays fealty to trump and looks good on TV.

When a hurricane struck North Carolina, Republicans lied about FEMA. When a terrorist attacked New Orleans, Republicans lied about immigration. When wildfires hit Los Angeles, Republicans lied about fire dept. funding and DEI. Exploiting tragedy is part of the GOP playbook. Helping victims is not.

Pres Jimmy Carter said “A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.”

If you are a true red-blooded Constitutional American, you don’t feel good about the USA right now. No decent person does. You feel like we’re betraying our allies in this world. You feel dishonor. You feel shame. You carry on your weighted back what Trump keeps piling on. But we will rise.

Trump has threatened tariffs on many countries for a lot of reasons. Today he said he’d “tariff Denmark at a very high level” if it refused to cede Greenland to the US. That would drive up prices for American consumers on products ranging from hearing aids and Legos to popular drugs like Ozempic.
