I wonder, what if all politicians were subjected to yearly performance reviews? Every year we vote and if they don't get a "passing score" it triggers a new election to replace them. Combine this with term changes & limits. House - 2 4-year terms, Senate - 2 8-year terms. SCOTUS - one 10-year term.

So, Trump's idea on how to end the Gaza War is to help Israel win the war, annex Gaza, and remove all Palestinians. And the middle east will just accept this? I don't think so. This can only make matters worse. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Pressed... on how he could conclude that diversity had something to do with the crash, Trump said, “Because I have common sense, okay? And unfortunately, a lot of people don’t.” The arrogance is palpable. Again, if a liberal said this, the magalores would howl. But it's fine for them to say. smh

They haven't gotten any info from the "black boxes" yet, they have no survivors to question, all they have is debris and what people on the ground know/saw. But Trump's common sense is sure this is caused by DEI. Thereby making political hay from the dead bodies of an air disaster. That's just sad.
