An average guy trying to understand other's politics but rarely surprised by their lack of self awareness and irony, including mine. Not a president, not worthy of capitalization.

I recently saw “A face in crowd” movie, trump is what happens when a Marcia doesn’t leave microphone off on the Lonesome Rhodes character and he becomes president. Movies can be mirrors and our history if we pay attention.

One can tell it's election season again, all the candidates are running ads on TV. Anyone notice Dems say what party they are but GOP doesn't unless they are MAGAs?

My kid goes to a school where their school colors are red and white. Every time I wear their baseball cap someone says "FU Maga!" and apologize after realizing it's not Maga. I don't know how to feel about this. I will be glad when colors aren't political again.

I missed trump's "visit" to SCOTUS, so I have to ask: * Did he go with an entourage of people or by himself? * Did he behave? * Did it appear that he left because he was bored or figured out it didn't look good for him? We need a play by play to figure out his game plan or lack of it.

With all of the different elections happening around the country in recent days, how slow will Johnson be to swear them in? A month, a few months or not at all since he will probably claim we are at war?

I just heard that Trump's DOJ civil rights division will not investigate if Renee Good's rights were violated. Apparently they weren't. I guess rights don't matter to Trump unless he gives them.

A thought I had while wrapping Christmas gifts for loved ones...anyone giving gifts to Trump are doing it because they have to and not because they want to. We are the lucky ones. 🎄

I read that Trump is going to do a prime time announcement/speech of some kind, does anyone have information about this? Will it be some declaration of war, someone stepping down or just doubling down on some heinous social media post?

Because GOP policies aren't what the majority of the country wants. Every GOP in Congress, Senate & SCOTUS has been waiting for their chance to surrender their authority, bend their knee to have a "conservative/fascist" government like they want because Trump doesn't care as long as he is king.

I would to see reporter's first question to everyone and anyone in his administration to be "Based on his previous behavior and his behavior at the Pope's funeral is President Trump OK?

“People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.” --Alan Moore. Besides standing up and speaking out, some rebellious actions are needed to drive home a point.

Just read a woman in Florida was arrested because she was impersonating an ICE agent and kidnapped her ex boyfriend's wife. Thanks to Trump we can expect a LifeTime movie out of this story.

Sure Nixon had Watergate, Carter had "Billy Carter" Obama had a tan suit, Dubya choked on a pretzel, Clinton got a blow job but can anyone else remember any other president's administration have so many "mistakes/screw ups/faux pas" made like both of the Trump organizations ?

In the movies there's always some secret group of good guys that are tired of politicians and big corporation types that do bad things and makes them regret and pays for the bad things they did. Right now would be good time for them to show up, or this weekend. Please.

Elon is doing fine work with DOGE, seems he got a brand new military contract for Tesla. Saw this at our local military recruiting office parking lot. Not a charger for miles.

I don't have a good understanding of most people but Trump was shot at by people in areas that really liked him. But now he and Musk are really pissing off people, I have to think that 3rd term is highly unlikely.

Looking at calendar and considering all the destruction Musk & Trump have done, does anyone think Trump will proclaim "people that owe taxes on April 15th don't have to pay" in order to get some "good will" from the voting population? Chances are it will be added to 2025's taxes.

Prior to being a president, Trump would do whatever he wanted & his kids would do it & litigate if he was caught. Now as president, an executive order & his cabinet of clowns run out does it whether it's legal or not & the only thing stopping him lawyers & judges, I fear that may be enough.

Wow, with all of the problems of the world and the state of TX has with measles, Lt gov Patrick wants to TX beef producers and restaurants to rebrand NY strip steaks to TX strip steaks. That's GOP priorities for you.

I just saw something that said Gabbard fired like 100 CIA agents. I'm not expert but is it really smart to piss off people that can kill you a thousand different ways and it would look like an accident?

I'm no expert but I have feeling this is something that could happen...anyone else wondering when the taking of political hostages and ransoming begins during this administration?

I feel it's not a good thing to fire a lot of people that worked at the FBI, CIA or the VA because they have a love of country and paraphrasing here ... "a very particular set of skills, skills they have acquired over a career. Skills that make them a nightmare for people like Trump and Musk.
