I just love all these people who are suddenly having an epiphany as the government continues its descent into madness. Where were you in the aftermath of January 6, 2021, when it was clear that he NEVER should have been allowed near the White House again? And here we are.

Bill Maher (though I’m not as big a fan in recent years) did say it best - you don’t need to be smart. All you need is the clip-on tie and the votes.

LOL!!!!!!! Yes, Jack Smith. That was NOT a trick question but you managed to hit it out of the park anyway. That’s what happens when an honest person with integrity is attacked by a person who is neither honest nor competent.

The Dems are always looking for that guy “you can have a beer with.” The Ford F-150 guy who has the Everyman appeal that they feel the GOP has down to a science, but actually embraces more moderate or left-leaning views. They thought they had that in Fetterman. Didn’t work out. Now this.

Women should run EVERYTHING. The world would be so much better off. You think if Russia had a woman running that country that missiles would be falling on schools and hospitals in Ukraine? Exactly. That’s just one example.

Exactly. These people have no idea what it is to live as an everyday person. Everything is done for them by someone. They go to the best physicians and never receive a bill or copay. They never have to comparison shop for anything, or check available funds. Is it any wonder why they’re so clueless?

This is the same guy who said before 2024 election, “looking forward to getting back to $1.87 gasoline.” How’s that going for us, Senator? Unless you have a Time Machine back to 1999. Maybe not out Senator - but definitely being handed your hat. 🙂

Correction. WE are paying $300 billion. I think he should take it from his personal coffers full of money he grifted from the U.S. taxpayers and obtained unlawfully through blatant and obscene insider trading.

Two Americas: The one where Trump and his allies, friends and family grift as much money as possible from the American people with impunity. The other is everyone else, who has to pay taxes, adhere to the rule of law, observe social norms, basic civility and be held accountable. There are no words.

This is part of the reason why their administration is such a failure. They are more interested in dividing the country with their insufferable blame-game than actually governing. “Oh, we won the election? Actually I was more interested in accusing Kamala Harris of cheating and having another 1/6.”

Sad. But not in the least bit surprised. Just another pathetic chapter in the administration of “cross us and face consequences.” Sort of like, “I accept the results of any election in which I’m declared the winner,” and “we can do this the easy way or the hard way.” On and on.

Yeah. When insider trading was legal, before the SEC. You see how that worked out. 🙁

It’s like Frank Pantangeli’s brother from Sicily showing-up at the Mafia hearings in Godfather II. “Donald Trump said this, and I said, SURE!” 🙄All he has to do is show his face, of course.

Amazing. I’ve often said any life lesson you need - any explanation you need, particularly as it relates to the fleeting nature of time and the value in making the most of it, can be found on “Dark Side of the Moon,” or on Pink Floyd albums, generally.

Agree. So much of the horror we are experiencing daily would not be happening. Instead, we’d have a responsible leader. I’m not suggesting she wouldn’t be facing some real challenges, but I doubt you’d be seeing what we’re seeing now at home and abroad. We were close, but came up short, sadly.

“There’s something happening here…what it is, ain’t exactly clear…there’s a man with a gun over there, telling me, I’ve got to beware.” -Buffalo Springfield, 1966. If they only knew how relevant that song would be sixty years after they released it, during the Vietnam era. 😞

It’s utterly laughable that he and his supporters are being quoted as attempting to secure a “peaceful transfer of power” in Venezuela. Does he recall what happened in his own country almost five years ago to the day? He’s trying to guarantee something elsewhere that he tried to thwart at home. 🤬

Yet another distraction. Never mind those files, look over here at what I’m doing in Venezuela. True.

I’m watching commentary from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) mention the price of gasoline and eggs being lower now than they were a year ago during the Biden administration. So pathetic and hopelessly stuck in the past, it’s pathological. They always have to go back to that. Unbelievable.

jamesm1868.bsky.social @jamesm1868.bsky.social · 23/11/2025
Agree. BUT. Look at all the people who have tried to do Trump’s schtick over the years. Kari Lake tried it in Arizona, losing an election and trying to claim “massive fraud.” Fell totally flat. In court and elsewhere. The less relevant he becomes, the more irreplaceable. Could be the start of an end

I heard not since 1961. That says a lot about how people are feeling lately about the current - ahem - “leadership” of this country. Finally, something that looks like a rejection of the MAGA ideal. 😊

Yes. I wonder how many additional Venezuelan fishermen will lose their lives in the next several days in the ensuing tantrum and effort to take the spotlight away from these decisive victories.

Actually, they DID vote for this. All of it. Whether they thought this would happen or not is of no moment. We’re here now, and look at how bad things got not even a year after he took office for the second time. All these pundits are like, “five years from now.” Yeah, you hope…😔

And the American people in the 2020 election. Something he still can’t bear to admit all this time later. He’s still on about it. I have said it dozens of times on this platform. 1/6 was the point of no return. We lost more than we realize that day - we never recovered.

jamesm1868.bsky.social @jamesm1868.bsky.social · 22/10/2025
Yes. Totally. He just does things to infuriate people, just to provoke a reaction. I still have no idea how or where he gets the authority to demolish a portion of the White House, which he does not own. I’m just baffled. But what else is new with this administration?

jamesm1868.bsky.social @jamesm1868.bsky.social · 22/10/2025
Just like they weren’t touching Social Security or Medicaid, intended to lower costs, end the war in Ukraine on “day one,” go after the worst of the worst who were in the country illegally, replace the ACA with a new (concepts) of a plan. Their mere act of speaking is in itself untruthful.

jamesm1868.bsky.social @jamesm1868.bsky.social · 06/10/2025
I truly hope not. I mean, I would not be surprised if that did happen, but it shouldn’t. If he does, it will be for the express purpose of infuriating Democrats. It should infuriate anyone, particularly her victims, but I think he would rather enjoy watching people’s reaction to that order. 😡

jamesm1868.bsky.social @jamesm1868.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
Unfortunately that’s true. This is the, among other things, the “fire the messenger” administration.

jamesm1868.bsky.social @jamesm1868.bsky.social · 30/09/2025
Yep. I just said that a few minutes ago. How did we get back here? It’s just unbelievable how many of our countrymen and women allowed themselves to think this was the more sensible choice. I don’t know whether to be infuriated or fall into despair. Probably both depending on the moment.

Yep. I was just thinking of that recently. I fly my flag regularly and for the first time in my life I feel like I have to clarify what I mean by displaying it. I do it out of respect for an ideal, but not the way the current administration is trying to carry it out. It’s like I need a disclaimer. 😔

I see what you’re saying, Governor. But if it’s going to get worse before it gets better, it can’t get that much worse than it already is. I finally realized - it was never about fuel prices, or jobs, or housing, or cost of living. It’s just about hatred and causing misery.

LOL. That’s true! I went to Catholic schools for a good part of my life. When you’re a kid they make you think it’s literally a fire pit with the Devil poking you with a pitchfork for eternity. But…the longer I’m alive the more I’m convinced that THIS is Hell! 😂

You’ll never get transparency out of the Regime. I think they regularly switch-out his medical records with a 25 year-old former D-1 marathoner for Ms. Leavitt’s review just before pressers.

Yes. Thank you. When a Trumper is the victim of political violence, “this cannot stand.” Meanwhile 1/6 rioters get a pass. As I heard recently, “forgive me if my tone lacks a certain degree of warmth. That’s what honesty sounds like.”

They are good people - but you know who is the real January 6th Committee? The American People. Us. And 77 million of us - a big number - recently voted to ignore this debacle and restore Trump to power. The 2024 election should have become a referendum on this nightmare, and it didn’t matter. 😔
