Moderate but always willing to lean. Intransigent Independent. Very worried. Longs for the return of the norms. Civility. Let’s disagree....and then go fishing.

Let’s be honest. It is sad but true. To a degree, a lot of us are glad we lost. It was a bad call. But the Coach should have said the rules are the rules - he is not going to play. And the player should have said the same. A missed opportunity for profiles in courage. The shame that man spews.

People say we are politically divided. No. Average people can pretty much come to agree on most things. This president and his party prove that we are divided on race. They consistently play to white fears, weaknesses and biases…to the benefit of the powerful and the greedy.

$1.76B for his allies. He makes it brilliantly obvious that the founding fathers (hate that term) assumed each branch would defend the people when another would not. But, given their sense of honor and duty, they could never have imagined Thune, Johnson, and a compliant Court? We are so screwed.

As President, and given his array of significant deficiencies, he has been the most dangerous man in the world. Then there is ICE, economy, tariffs, cabinet embarrassments, Epstein, Iran. In China he is embarrassed in front of the whole world. He returns much much more dangerous. Very very scary.

CNN - “No signs Trump and Xi resolved any thorny challenges”. For Xi, Trump is the gift that keeps on giving. Hated at home, NATO, Europe and the rest of the world. He steps in his own trap in Iran and his economy is tanking. Then Trump voluntarily flies to Xi who gets to embarrass him for two days.

Obama got a deal done with the same whack jobs. Inexplicably, instead of negotiating to improve the deal, you unilaterally kill it. If you’re such a great deal guy, why didn’t you negotiate a better deal? Instead, among all the other damage you caused, let’s not forget, you killed 175 school girls.

Gerrymandering, now reverse the voting rights act, all to limit the African-American vote and power. Why don’t young athletes, especially African-American athletes, boycott red state colleges? How could anyone wear a Texas uniform, or Florida or Alabama, others? Don’t just give away your strength.

“China should help with the Strait” Have you noticed that more people, when asked about what the Cheato said, start by reminding that he constantly lies or contradicts himself. Soon it will be universally accepted as common knowledge to ignore what he says and just work on countering what he does.

CNN - “Trump fundraising email uses photo from soldiers’ dignified transfer and promises ‘private national security briefings.” Even though the political physics suggest it impossible, every single day he is somehow able to get further below absolute zero.

Over 150 young girls killed while at school. (Can you imagine?) 3 US soldiers. How many in Israel? For what? Show me their faces then I will know the real “Art” of this deal. The most powerful man in the world is also the most dangerous…since April, 1945.

State of Union - You know who could be the most powerful, impactful, person in that room? Who could actually save the democracy? But for whatever reason, he is silent..absent, and while they honor heroes in battle…he’s AWOL. Is he selfish or just weak? Which is it Sen Thune?

Please look for the meme the Cheeto posted of him playing in the US / Can hockey game. Insults Canada and their players. Just when u think he can’t find another way to remind us how selfish he is, and how stupid he makes himself look. Only a non-athlete could post that. God bless Canada-our friends.

Today’s Obama meme stopped me. It shocked me. It proved hurtful to me. It made me feel embarrassed (ashamed) to be white. While I try to be sensitive to other races and what they face, I have never felt that way before. Maybe it will make me a better person. What a horrible sad man.

Networks…PLEASE STOP calling them ICE or DHS. Just call them what they are- “government agents”. STOP repeating government lies. Just reference that the government statements are “unsubstantiated” and don’t repeat them or spend viewer time discussing them. We don’t need help identifying murder.

Greenland, Honduran pardon, Iran, Fed Chair, Venezuela drugs..I mean oil. Who remembers the 1000 girls sexually abused by rich, powerful, white perverts? Now add Renee to the Epstein list while Trump plays us wagging what has to be an English Mastiff. (Republican leaders - YOU’RE THE F’IN PROBLEM)

Jan 6, self-interest pardons, Crypto grift, M/east deals, Honduran pardon, 20m lose h/ins, drug boat murders, Epstein, Ukraine betrayal, ICE, tariffs, N/Gaurd in cities, today Maduro, tomorrow…who knows? What should make us all most concerned is that he actually thinks we are all this stupid.

For how much will you sell your ethics? Last minute 60 Minutes cancels story on immigrant treatment in prisons. They say it’s because the report needed “additional reporting”. Right.. and who believes that? 60 Minutes ..The integrity of Hegseth. The spine of Sen Graham. Lying for money. Familiar?

Trump regularly insults and attacks reporters—especially women—for doing their jobs. Yet I never see the other reporters challenge him in the moment. But then they have no problem criticizing R’s for not standing up to him. How is their silence any different…then what gives them moral standing?

Hey young people. Every generation inherits some mess. My parents gave us Vietnam; theirs WWII, segregation, Depression, WWI, N/American genocide, Civil War..u get it. If you’re old enough to see injustice, you’re old enough to act. Citizenship isn’t whining—it’s engagement. Join the fight.

Jesus Christ!! If you’re sheep, say baa. Otherwise, stop caring so much what people who make millions say spinning things so that we stay mad at each other. Be your own citizen. Just read real news..including world news .. talk to others if you want, and make up your own minds about stuff.

D’s, stop calling it the Big Beautiful Bill. First, it isn’t. Second, he wants u to call it that. When u do..he wins..again. Just call it Trump’s HR1. Or you could refer to it as Trump’s bill cutting Medicaid, Medicare and eliminating health insurance. Call it what it is. Stop giving him the mic.
