The Trump administration keeps taking credit for the stock market doing well. The truth is corporations are buying their stock with the tax and tariff credits they are getting. Im still waiting for my checks.

Now we have the petroleum companies using the war as an excuse for price gouging. They are making billions more in profits. Don't tell me they are not price fixing.

Let me get this right? There’s been a massive number of lynchings in the US over the past year and we are not hearing about this from the NYT, WaPo, LA Times, or any other major outlet?
Can we get @propublica.org to cover this?

Scott Jennings always has that smirky smile that just drives me nuts. It says "I'm smarter than you". His talking points are always out of the Trump book of lies and BS.

Tommy Tuberville is a radical racist bigot. Iam being redundant on purpose. Name calling is what MAGATs do best. When they have nothing substantial to say, they resort to name calling, like DJT.

Im a Democrat! I can't understand why working class families are voting with the GOP. The GOP is anti worker, anti aging, anti youth. Let's bring back the working class to the Democratic party.

I recommend everyone read the book:
"The Rise and Fall of Great Powers" by
Paul Kennedy. We are destroying our country from within. This administration is utter chaos. The corruption is unfathomable at every level.

We learned a lesson in Vietnam. The US decimated and obliterated North Vietnam's military targets with our bombs. Yet, we lost that war due to the tenacity of Vietnamese ground troops.

In Vietnam, we bombed the hell out of the north and lost the war. Have we not learned nothing yet. Please, don't send in ground troops. Iranians are dug in waiting. It would be a huge mistake. Trump has no idea what he is doing.

Trump's decision to attack Iran had one purpose. That was to pay back the US military industrial companies for their campaign support. The war against Uran was a mistake and has destabilized the region. And now Trump's family is making millions in contracts.
