Today we pray that "Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the earth" (from Psalm 85)

Why would any of our allies ever trust us again, knowing that in any future election we might choose another dimwit who will tear up all agreements and join the enemy to conspire against them.

Just got a begging text from Ken Paxton because he’s desperate that Talarico has more donations to spend. Good news! The real voters, not big business and big tax evaders, are speaking up in Texas!

Note to fellow Dems: it’s great to have high ideals, but when it comes to winning general elections, a little pragmatism is necessary.

Trump has the Reverse Midas Touch. Everything he touches turns to dross.

Dear Mr. Trump: Complaining and threatening about the smoke pollution from Canadian wildfires is no help. What would help: 1. Send help for fire fighting, like they did for us. 2. For long term help, stop dismantling regulations that slow climate change.

Ironic that the party of Christian Family Values and of Law and Order still overwhelmingly supports Trump; but, in my memory, the political ambitions of more than one Democrat have been upended by an accusation of misconduct.

Trump couldn’t just leave Obama’s 2015 deal with Iran in place and add to it with sanction relief to entice Iran to extend their promise of no nuclear weapons. Instead, he always wants to destroy, then reinvent the wheel and stamp his name on it.

Trump should be locked up in a mental ward with a room-full of video war games for him to play with.

bsky.app/profile/mrsb... Every CABINET MEMBER should begin to realize that any Cabinet member, as well as the VP could be thrown under the bus at any time. Even blind loyalty can’t save them. They should look clearly at reality and invoke the 25th Amendment!

How many days does Trump have left to obtain declaration of war from congress or withdraw?

Trump continues to escalate the Iran war. Right-wing commenters claim DJT is playing “4-dimensional chess”. Actually he has not decided on a goal and has not, like successful chess masters, anticipated the results of each move—all possible moves by the opponent and the succeeding results.

The first thing I read every morning on Facebook is Heather Cox Richardson’s Daily post. From her March 5 post (also on Substack), she says Trump claims he should be involved in choosing Iran’s new leader. He seems to think he can use the threat of our military to give him personal global power.

This old nursery rhyme keeps running through my mind: “The King was in his counting house, counting all his money; The Queen was in her parlor, eating bread and honey; The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes; Along came a blackbird and nipped off her nose.”

Trump-02 appears to be a made-for-TV reality show. He tries one headliner after another, checks the ratings, and then decides what to do next. Meanwhile innocent children, women, and men suffer and die while Trump plays his games.

Timeline: 2015: Obama & US allies negotiate a deal with Iran not to develop a nuclear weapon. 2018: Trump tears up the Obama deal. 2019: Iran restarts its path to a nuclear weapon. 2026: Trump joins Israel in starting war with Iran to force them to promise not to develop a nuclear weapon.
