1) Electoral College Eliminated
2) Law-Prez Candidates Must Release Last 10yrs Tax Returns & Divest All Business Interests
3) Term Limits For Congress, Federal Judges & SC Justices
4) ERA Ratified
5) No More Time Changes

Sometimes I think about how the last ten years started as a publicity stunt for a fading reality show that went sideways.

1. Democrats win control of the House and Senate.
2. Investigations and prosecutions begin.
3. Impeachment and removal proceedings.
4. Take back the billions of taxpayer money corruptly taken by the Trump family and their accomplices.
5. Rinse and repeat.

I’ve been watching old Little House on the Prairie episodes and the Almonzo Wilder character has the hair style Trump wishes he has. Now I can’t watch without laughing about that.

Anything he builds can and will be removed. And there is nothing he can do about it. I hope he's still alive when it happens so that he can see the power of the people and his final rebuke.

Any company that participates in the demolition or destruction of the Kennedy Center must be prosecuted. That prosecution promise must be immediately publicized Loud & Clear!!

Nailed it
I'm convinced that this is just a big a reason for the tariffs as any (misplaced) economic claims: Tariffs give Trump discretionary power, and he likes being the sort of guy who can use govt power on a whim to impress people (in this case), or in return for other favors.
Trump on his golf course announces he’s going to take tariffs off Irish whiskey. I guess our trade emergency is over!

I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

Interesting piece on the border wall in TX. Would have loved to know how many of those protesting it actually voted for Trump. I’m guessing the majority of them. Did anyone bother to remind them that Votes Have Consequences?

Would love to see how many Democrats and Republicans voted for Governors and U.S. Senators in the primaries. The primary turnout numbers may indicate general election turnout numbers.

🇨🇦🍁 BREAKING: During his speech today, Donald Trump recounted helping save Titanic victims: “I saved more people than anybody, many people, the best people. I said, ‘Turn left, Captain. Very simple. Very easy.’ He didn’t listen. I know icebergs. Nobody knows icebergs better than me.”

A periodic reminder that the two elections Chump won were against women. The one he lost was against a man. A sad reflection of many American voters refusal to accept a woman as President.

“It’s not so hard to imagine how the gilding of his office might align with the gelding of our allies.”
In a frightening sign of how much trust has been lost between the United States and its erstwhile allies, billions of dollars of gold reserves are being repatriated or otherwise moved out of Trump’s reach.

There’s lots of empty land in and near Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, and for that matter at the very spacious estates of the tech oligarchs and the nice campuses of the tech companies. Those seem like easy places to put data centers.

So I’m confused. I thought the immigrants were taking jobs away from citizens and those citizens were going to get their jobs back. What is he talking about?
