My heart is breaking for our service members in the Middle East who don’t have enough food to eat or clean water to drink on OUR aircraft carriers! Why???? How is this possible??? Imbeciles are at the top making bad decisions one right after another!

tRump We don’t need cake when Americans need groceries, home, healthcare, and gasoline prices to go down!! Use your own money to rebuild the East Wing without a gaudy ballroom. You destroyed it, so you rebuild it! Do NOT use American taxpayer dollars!

Is there an absentee rule or ethics rule regarding lawmakers showing up at their offices in Congress for meetings and showing up in congress for hearings and votes? If I didn’t let my employer know where I was for several weeks I would be fired.

I had to show both a certified birth certificate and a marriage license as well as a utility bill in my name with my physical address to get a REAL ID.

The best Independence Day Parade I ever saw was in Philadelphia. It was also the longest parade! I know with this oppressive heat and humidity, watching the parade outdoors could be dangerous. Keep hydrated, wear a hat, and be careful. Enjoy this year’s special Semisesquacentennial!

Is it too much to wish for a President who cares more about working families in America than he does himself? Who cares more about affordability of housing, groceries, and health care instead of making a spectacle of himself? Who cares more about the planet than his billionaire friends’ wallets?

What Iran Deal? We lost 13 service people! We are unfreezing Iranian assets. The Strait of Hormuz is reopening, but Iran may be charging fees? The regime now has a younger, more radical leader. They still have access to nuclear material. The war cost us billions! This is NOT a deal!

Why does Congress keep letting tRump destroy the White House and it’s grounds? I don’t want my tax dollars paying for a sporting event on the White House grounds!! If he wants it as a birthday present to himself, he should pay for it at one of his golf courses!

Why do we keep watching the “Communist”Broadcasting System? They are firing people who are using their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech! The “Boss” was right; the current POTUS can’t take a joke.

I don’t want one cent of my tax dollars to go to the tRump slush fund. I can’t believe Congress allowed this to happen! Where are the Republicans who say they “support” Police, but then allow their supreme leader to give money to January 6th insurrectionists who beat police officers! For shame!

Why aren’t elected and appointed leaders in our federal government stopping tRump’s continued destruction of our historical national capital’s treasures? It is a reflecting pool NOT one of his swimming pools. I don’t want a single dollar of my federal taxes to pay for his recent “project!” STOP!

This makes me furious. Wasting our tax dollars while families are hurting! Today a man buying groceries in the line in front of me had to put his meat back because he couldn’t afford it.

He got confirmations on his Cabinet choices who are not qualified for their Secretary positions, but who are excellent tRump bootlickers.

I was behind a gentleman at the checkout at Walmart who was buying food. He was watching the purchases closely. He leaned over and removed three packages of meat. He told the checker to please have those returned. He said they were each about $20 and he couldn’t afford them. Pay attention tRumpers!

I also don’t want my tax dollars paying for a giant arch we don’t need! The US already has Golden Arches all over. Use our tax money to help people! Feed the hungry! Clothe the poor! House the homeless! Provide healthcare to the sick and aged. What would Jesus do?

I don’t want one cent of my tax dollars to fund a Ballroom for tRump. No reasonable person should. The nation does NOT need one! He has a bunker already. Just because it’s not gaudy gold doesn’t mean it’s not a functioning one. There are ballrooms all over DC. Bring grocery prices down!

What a thin-skinned childish person he is! Isn’t 86 a restaurant term meaning to remove dirty dishes from a table? Seashells arranged into numbers by some unknown beachcomber is such a diabolical threat!

With Trump’s war crime threats and a two week reprieve, let’s not forget the price 13 American families have paid with the loss of their loved ones. So many other injured. My family is a military family who can trace our roots to the American War for Independence. I respect our military!

On April Fool’s… “They have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated,” Trump said. “Iran has been completely decimated.” Are they just making this stuff up? Today (48 hours later) Iran shot down a U.S. F-15 and an A-10, and hit two Black Hawk helicopters in one day!

I loved Star Wars. I was in college, working part time, and earning my own money. I took my whole family to see it. To me it meant Independence from fascists and belonging to a viable community.
