Retired Navy guy with some remarkable experiences. I am not an expert in politics, virology, or the psychology of the masses. Taught at a college you don't know. Loved sailing and miss the water, but deserts are pretty cool.

I cannot say what I want to say because the Secret Service may interject themselves into my life. As a retired military guy with no ambitions, I say that this administration has ruined the military and ruined the United States of America. Fuck all of them to hell.

I might be wrong on this but I think Trump's dislike for Canada goes back to when Melania liked Justin Trudeau better than him. Jealousy is a strong drug.

To the Democratic organization that keeps sending me a ridiculous number of texts every fucking day asking for donations. I started blocking these about a month ago, with no relief. I want you to know that this is making me angry. Not what you want from someone you want on your side. Fin.

Most of the money spent was used to build new weapons by U.S. companies, so a lot of that came back to us as job creation in the manufacturing business.

I live in the Phoenix area. This month, I sold 672 kWh to the local electric company and bought only 614 kWh, and yet I have to pay them $ for this month. This happens every month where I don't sell at least 50% more than I use. Explain this to me like I am a 5 year old.

I asked AI about the peace deal. Seems to be missing the loss of life for both us and the Iranians, depleted stockpiles of missiles, and the dollar cost of the war. Totally insignificant, right?

Just got back from the grocery store (Fry's, not the most inexpensive place). Roma tomatoes just doubled in price. They've been $0.99/lb for years. Now, they are $1.99/lb. Thanks Obama.

New rule: All sports must operate within a 6 month window. Nothing outside of that. Hockey playoffs is June? For god's sake, ice doesn't exist in June. Hell, in Arizona, ice hasn't existed since February this year. Hockey is a WINTER sport. Not Spring and definitely not Summer.

I think that we really need to understand this concept. Trump is, of course, the face in front of this whole shitshow, but the people supporting it are, indeed, the true basis for his actions. Pussies afraid of their own shadow.

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

Please show me the totality of his attempts to "put more money in middle-class pockets." At most, some efforts were to soften the blow by giving scraps of benefits to the MC to hide the huge cash dumps for the wealthy. Seriously, defend your statement.

Trump has repeatedly assured us that the ballroom was being fully funded by his billionaire friends. Not that that was necessarily a good thing, but why do we need full funding from the taxpayers?

The stock market has been extremely forgiving about any bad news during this administration. I'm old enough to remember when a slightly bad jobs number made the dow drop. Now all negative economic results are just shrugged off. Crazy.

I’m not one to blame stuff on media conspiracies. But the press does have a huge blind spot when it comes to Trump’s manifest unfitness for office. The post today was objectively - insane? I’m sure there’s a better word but calling it what it is isn’t editorializing; it’s just reporting the facts

One of the things that continually disturbs me is that things I used to respect are becoming MAGA/Trump trash. Awards like the Kennedy Center honors, the Medal of Freedom, and others. I suspect that the MOH may be next. IDK. It's pathetic.

While this is good information, the correct term is not “injured”. It is “wounded”. It’s not like they slipped on a snowy sidewalk.

It appears that at least 7 of those shots were after he was already incapacitated and flat on his back. The first two shots occurred during the time he was being beaten in the face with a metal can by an ICE thug.

What is truly sad is that I can't spend too much time on this site because I become so infuriated by the latest BS that occurs hourly by this administration, that I have to leave before I say something criminal. Fight the bastards. I hope disease takes them horribly, alone and afraid.
