If Trump’s love of this country was half as deep as his animosity against his perceived enemies he might be getting good things for US His revenge tour is taking its toll on US…

If you’re watching news, talk shows, movies and you’re thinking you’ve seen it all before though it’s your first time, don’t worry; you’ve seen it all before because most things we see on television or read about are close variations of things we’ve seen before It’s why it all seems so familiar…

You know who should’ve gone through the magnetometers Trump is saying Abdul Al-Sayed should go through if elected senator-January 6 rioters Trump ordered men and women with weapons Not to go thru magnetometers “ They’re not here to hurt me” Trump said They were there to hurt democracy and hang

Trumpstructionist- a president hating his country so much he’d rather it crumble in failure than disobey his primary objective from Putin Building monuments to his ego; let the people of the United States feed on his spectacle

Trump “ When oil prices go up we make a lot of money” Who the hell is “we”? “ We” ain’t everyday Americans hurting at the gas pump (I almost typed ‘gas pimp’ which is pretty accurate) “ We “ ain’t US, that’s for damned sure…

The BIG mistake Trump and his Republican enablers have made is not recognizing their cult members live on the same planet, in the same country, and in the same states and cities as the rest of US MAGA is not just collateral damage along with everyone else; they’re on the frontline too Hurting too…

When Black Americans are suffering unusually harsh economic conditions, guess who Trump goes to for helping divert Black voters’ attention from his economic policies- the usual suspects: Athletes and entertainers The mindset of the Trump regime and Republicans is, Black people will follow the lead

of boxers, football players, basketball players, actors and singers The racists believe if they keep Black singing and dancing they won’t feel the rumbling in their hungry bellies I actually like(d) some of the well known athletes and entertainers who’ve thrown their support to Donald Trump

Can a sitting US president be charged with assault and battery on an individual? Or a nation ? I know it’s hypothetical if a president can be charged with assault and battery on a person but it’s not so hypothetical This president could commit assault and battery battery on a person

It’s being reported El-Sayed is running out of time to secure the Michigan Black Vote If that’s the case are Black voters going to vote for Mike Rogers, Trump’s boy, or not vote at all? The last 2 are not choices Black Michiganders should even entertain for a millisecond Cutting off their nose to

spite their faces- the issues between Arabs Michiganders and Blacks- need some serious temporary nose glue considering what all of US are facing from Republicans As a Black man, if I lived in Michigan, I’d put aside old hurts and perceived betrayal and look at what the Trump regime is doing to US

When I see MAGA holding signs saying “MASS DEPORTATION NOW!” I’m reminded I come from a people who were “ MASS IMPORTED THEN” We were brought here for basically the same reason current immigrants were- to do the labor White people wouldn’t Blacks, as far as forced labor is concerned, became the

Obsolete People decades ago Our current immigration issue isn’t about forced labor, it’s about a pernicious, racist lie that undocumented immigrants are a drain on our economy or are benefiting economically more than White Americans are As a member of a race that’s been despised for generations I

Presenting President Donald Alaska “ L’etat c’est moi” The State of Alaska is ok with 2 Sullivans on the ballot for senator Not the prez; he says sue Alaska if My Sullivan loses AG Todd Blanche complies because rules under this regime don’t apply

The spirits of Ann Richards, Molly Ivins, Sheila Jackson Lee, Sylvester Turner and every fighter for Justice and an inclusive Texas will be so proud of US for turning the Lone Star State into a beacon of hope and freedom

Got a telephone message from Ken Paxton’s campaign Had to be a robo call because if you listen to my outgoing message a real person wouldn’t have wasted their time asking me to vote for Ken Paxton Do I sound like someone who’d vote for Paxton??

Heard an interesting quote from Todd Bridges back years ago while addressing the hostility of some people- Black and White-about the interracial family depicted on Different Strokes Bridges “ I think if everyone in the world was the same color some people would still find a reason to hate”

There will never be an "I Told You So" for MAGA. They're too invested in their tribe, their leader and mostly in not admitting complicity in the hostile takeover of their country. Let it go. Work on repairing the damage to our political, economic and civic life. Their lack of peace will have to do.

Right now it’s the War of The Different Worlds- the one Trump and his rich “ friends” live in and the one WE live in Their world is as barren and sterile as Mars; their money is lifeless as Valles Marineris Our world is beautiful, messy, complicated, deadly, filed with humans with hearts- alive

I don't see evidence that a god or some other conscious entity created the earth and its inhabitants. But I don't mind people who think so. I DO mind those who think nonbelievers will go to hell, especially those who think it's their job to be the agents that make it happen. The iron age is over.

In movies about vampires there’s the trope you have to INVITE them into your home if they show up at your door We invited the biggest economic vampire into our home when Donald Trump invited Elon Musk into our country Look at all the programs his devil dogs DOGE sucked dry and dismantled

The problem with thinking you’re the smartest guy in the room named Vivek is that you listen to a dumb ass encourage you to keep on sabotaging yourself Often times dumb asses intrinsically know where you smart guys are vulnerable; it’s their primeval instincts

Trump is doubling, tripling down on the vile Vivek Ramasmarmy campaign ad against Amy Acton in Ohio And your rally goers applauded on… What would happen if those “ good Christians” would start booing Trump instead of applauding? Would he shut his damned mouth and talk about the economy, his war?

Guess Trump had first pick from the “Basket of deplorables”Hillary Clinton first identified Many from the basket work in his cabinet, cluttering it up like badly broken toys

We don’t have to guess how Trump just reacted to Vivek Ramasmarmy’s despicable campaign ad against Amy Acton Let’s just leave it here- he didn’t surprise (If you read his comments about the ad you’ll see decency is a loss cause with Trump)
