I realize this is a small thing in a time of large disturbing things-but I still can’t get over watching these goons shoot tear gas point blank into the faces of the witnesses/observers who aren’t a threat to them.

Doesn’t it seem like there’s no one in this clown car that ever considers what the aftermath of their actions will be?

Perfidy? Really? Is there like a war crimes punch card that everyone in the white house is competing to finish first? What’s next? Bombing hospitals?

Mentioned yesterday-which was the day Gavin C. Newsom signed the legislation on redistricting-I received my first “anti” campaign flyer. And TODAY-the second! From “ProtectFairElections.org” and paid for by “Right Path California.” There is some big💰💰💰 there to defeat it. Go Gavin!

My theory, based only on observation, not evidence, is that when he lost all those lawsuits, he truly did not have much cash money. He vowed to line his pockets with as much gold as he could grab. And hey-no one is stopping him.

If you listen to Trump talk, it’s clear he’s not a very smart man. Who’s coming up with these schemes? It’s like there’s a “What can we get away with?” team.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations. Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets. It's all out in the open.

Back in the late 80’s there were commercials that featured a character known as Joe Isuzu. When he was talking there was a caption that said: “He’s lying” That’s what we need for the State of the Union speech. Real time fact check. If he accidentally says something truthful you can say “True.”

The State of the Union is a live-action test of how much gaslighting, dysfunction, denial, and delusion a democracy can survive.

OK folks-hear me out. I don’t think the government is spending too much money to govern and provide services to citizens-I think we are collecting too little money from profitable companies, and millionaires and billionaires. Tax the rich!
