IMO, Infantino was another slow learner who didn't realize that everyone who cozies up to DT will eventually face bad repercussions. DT eventually destroys everyone and everything around him, even his friends. I think DT's allies in the Middle East might be realizing this. Gifts are no protection.

I don't think I can blame what DT has done to the USA on stupidity and incompetence any more. I think he is tearing everything down on purpose. I think he knows he is a criminal, traitor, hated, abuser, grifter, liar and cheater. I think he can't believe how he is getting away with everything.

With the DJT regime, it's always the OBIT blame game - ObamaBidenImmigrantsTrans It's getting old. Even my local candidates are running on OBIT blaming talking points.

WTF was SCOTUS doing when: USAID was illegally gutted? Grifter took a wrecking ball to the east wing of THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE? ICE murdered citizens in the streets? People sent to TORTURE PRISON in El Salvador with NO DUE PROCESS? They only show up to TAKE AWAY RIGHTS.. not to protect them

I wish there was a law that required all non-human produced material or activity (including bots) to have a permanent watermark saying so. Tech has been allowed to get out of control. It needs the hell regulated out of it at this point. Thanks to AOC and Bernie for trying to do something.

DJT is angry, unhinged and erratic. He's bringing up "nuclear" way too much and too often. It feels like he is itching to use and break every toy he can get his hands on in his toy box. He has no qualms about killing people. Will his grifting win over his urge to destroy? Stay tuned.

What else does DJT need to do to show that his real purpose was to defang and dismantle the USA and pay himself with USA's money for doing it? He has been in cahoots with Russia from day one. Whether or not DJT is being bribed, blackmailed, etc. by Putin is irrelevant. Trump is aligned with Putin.

It's insulting that Trump's minions won't say the word war. They renamed the Department of Defense the Department of WAR, not the Department of Operations. Even more maddening is that Congress didn't do their job to be involved in going to war and is afraid to even say the word.

Congress won't even enforce the Hatch Act. This nightmare should have been over with the Mueller report. I have little confidence Congress can do what is required to clean up the corrupt regime, but I'm hopeful.

Republicans know they can't win on the voting issue, so as usual, they are throwing in their current scapegoat group to muddy and divide. It's disgusting.

On top of the nonsense and horror of the war, I can't help but think about the environmental impact of all the oil ships being attacked. What is the oil spill situation there? The destruction, waste and impact to the climate and environment, etc. is heart breaking enough. For what?

IMO, when there is too much testosterone (toxic masculinity) encouraged, it comes with more aggression and less empathy. Testosterone: kill things, blow up things, screw things, fight. It's the human equivalent of bull elk fighting and locking antlers for mating and resources. Stupid humans.

Netanyahu says Trump fulfilled his dreams: In bombing Iran, Israel now has the "assistance of the United States, my friend, US President Donald Trump, and the US military. This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years"

Unfortunately Republicans do not care about precedent, rules, or laws. They have zero intention of following any of them. In the words of Elon's little kid, "We do what we want. They'll never know."

I'm so ashamed and angry that the DJT regime misled Ukraine, stringing them along, when they were allies of Russia the entire time. Betrayal. Lives were lost, thinking the USA would assist more. DJT was working to become part of the new axis of evil the entire time. Rubio is saying it out loud now.

Even extreme red state Idaho where I live is doing all they can to make voting harder and legal to take voter information. It's ridiculous because they've bragged about their clean elections, so why do they need to change things? They are trying to tighten ID requirements currently. Sheesh.

Anyone who works for Trump has to be smart enough to get a pardon in their pocket before they take the job. They know anything they do might make them complicit in crimes. I'm guessing DT's entire cabinet must have them by now.

Reps in Congress are in too deep now. They won't get pardons if they don't continue to stay in line. Even though they know the people are against them, they fear potential criminal charges more. They've made their money and can slink away when voted out. We need more laws about pardon restrictions.

I think Congress needs to pass some kind of election protection law NOW that forbids canceling elections due to martial law, especially by the president that provoked the situation. Trump is setting up reasons to stop the election altogether. What can Congress do now, and how do we force them?

When the Jr. High bully gets to be in charge, he bullies everyone. Trump is showing everyone it's great to be a bully and take whatever you want. He is normalizing brute force to do anything, from interactions between people in your town to countries in the world. This thug behavior is horrifying.

Many things Trump does involves the need for sending some kind of military type of presence, from ICE, National Guard, etc. Not only is he spending the money that belongs to our children, I fear he is going to start drafting them.

People can get immunity with a vaccine or by having the disease. RFK Jr. wants the cruelest way with the most suffering. I think he must be happy when people suffer and die, because he thinks he is culling out the less fit.

The DoJ and FBI had this stuff for years. Why couldn't they have compiled information about their investigations and released it with each file? Everything seems unorganized and lacking context. This doesn't give people much confidence in the DoJ and FBI.

Greenland and Denmark should demand 5 years of all social media accounts and then refuse entry, just like the USA would do to people they don't want coming. The USA should be viewed as a hostile country at this point.

In addition to the preexisting problem, you couldn't get reasonable insurance unless you were part of a group. Health insurance was a way for big employers to hold people hostage. It prevented entrepreneurs and small businesses from competing. The ACA gave individuals some options at least.

A new POTUS could make the ballroom into a museum honoring immigrants, DEI, rights, democracy, and education. They could include an education area, telling the truth about corruption, cruelty and fascism. They could use the portraits of DT as a warning to show all the ways he undermined democracy.

Speaker Mike, your party is in charge. A simple solution, IMO, is for you to go ahead and make a concession for the ACA subsidies now to tide us over. Then you could immediately present all the great health care plans you keep saying you have and move them forward with no gaps. Unless Epstein.
