I often consider this, too. However, I have to ponder if JD Vance as president would be better or worse.....

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

At a time when working families are struggling to make ends meet, the President is using their hard-earned tax dollars to air ads celebrating himself. Trump’s need to feed his insatiable ego surprises no one, but making the American people pay for it is a disgrace.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

I frankly doubt that Trump typed this up - he doesn't have sufficient attention span. However, it's been my observation that he has not typically looked for people smarter than himself to populate his cabinet and White House staff roster.

A corporation (which cares little for you or me) is getting bigger and more powerful. Unbridled capitalism is no friend to working people. Regulations (which are enforced, of course) to protect people are essential.

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.
