I just paid my taxes. I believe in the value of good governance in a democratic society and contributing to that. Remind me what my taxes serve in the Trump “government” besides funding the U.S. military for his reckless adventures and handing trillions to the richest among us.

Imagine if Biden acted like this after taking office. I mean, we all witnessed the criminal insurrection. Trump should never have been allowed near the levers of power again.

After over nine months of Trump and his regime inflicting extreme pain and abuse on the country every day, eight Senate Democrats decided to remove one actual moment of leverage and end the government shutdown. Just pathetic.

For the record, it’s going to be a long while before my anger subsides at the Democrats who surrendered. They’ve made this fight harder. But I won’t allow my anger to distract from the necessary focus on Trump & the feckless Republicans who will exploit every weakness to intensify their demolition.

So exciting that the Trumpists are developing some concepts for healthcare. Maybe another decade and they'll be ready to share with the American people...at least those who are left.

The 60 Minutes interview, in which Nora O’Donnell let Trump blather on with lie after lie without fact-checking him or pushing back, is a reminder of why we need journalists who will hold him accountable rather than just giving him a platform to spread lies.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.
