Due the Orange Con's handling of an outbreak which started in China with the Russian Outbreak I believe it is time to start stocking up on medical masks and being ready for when says "Don't worry it will be over in days". He is ignorant enough to already being handing Visas for Oligarchs.

Naturally Trump is praising Cornell as a “fine school” right after the university let a group of accused rapists off with essay‑writing as punishment. It’s hard not to see why he’d feel a certain kinship with that fraternity.

If GOP can not afford Health care, Housing, or Feeding School Kids because Trump is fighting a undeclred war while the deficit climbs to all time high then anyone who believes what Trump promised in Texas has to have an IQ lower than Trump.

Trump’s latest proposal looks like an attempt to buy the election by offering cash to stay‑at‑home parents, funded by cutting child‑care support meant for working families. It has more than a whiff of socialism.

No joy at all waking up to a Social Security email cheering that, thanks to Trump, eight‑figure earners get a tax break on their SSI—while most retirees saw smaller checks because Medicare premiums climbed.

Now that the GOP is pushing to use budget reconciliation to fund what may be the most unpopular part of government, I'm starting to wonder whether Republicans are deliberately setting things up for a Democratic blue wave in the midterms so it won't fall to them to impeach Trump.

The administration’s recent actions suggest Trump and Hegsweth are behaving like insecure adolescents, provoking conflicts that put service members at risk to project toughness and feed Trump’s ego.

Interesting question that came to mind this past week. If you are sending Coast Guard Boats down to Argentina to pirate oil tankers doesn't that reduce the number of boats in US coastal waters to handle maritime issues and halt drugs boats in US waters? Is reduced drug interdiction the goal?

You know what really bothers me about Trump's "Drug War" is that he, and Hegseth, are using lousy tactics. Unlike the Police they are attacking the little guys, the alleged drug runners, and not the big ships who pick up from them. Why? Is it that his Buddies own the ships and say who to hit?

Ancient and cranky @ramahan53.bsky.social · 07/12/2025
The Coast Guard captures massive drug ships with fewer sailors and smaller vessels than the Navy. So why are Navy captains afraid to do it? They should be capturing these runners to prove they're stopping crime, instead of just resorting to lethal force. Suggests it isn't about drugs atc all.

It's notable that of the three Democrats conceding to the GOP right now two are from the same state that produced MTG; who is shifting left on health care, and the the third a stroke victim who perhaps should have resigned after his stroke.
