$20 Billion to bail out Argentina to protect hedge fund billionaires?? As gov’t shut down 14 days, millions of workers furloughed, not paying military families, cutting food stamps, medicaid & healthcare to the poor?? Something is wrong with this picture. 😡

It’s like taking candy from a baby. And I don’t have to say which one is the baby because even maga knows the answer to that.

(WSJ: free) You may not like China as a trading partner or for their treatment of their citizens, but they are the BIG DOG that any country must deal with and do it smartly and carefully. Trump has NO STRATEGY. He is a sitting duck with Xi. Trump will TACO.

I left active participation in our Richland County Ohio Dem party because of the dysfunction and gaslighting by leadership. Less than a month to go before local election. Candidate signs are rotting at HQ while Republican signs are everywhere. We’ll lose an entire slate again because of leadership.

Donald J. Trump doesn’t scare me, and he shouldn’t scare America.

He’s bullied his way through politics by fear and silence. But we’re done being silent.

We need leaders who will stand up to Trump.

Because if we don’t fight back now, we’ll lose the America we believe in.

There is no possible way that a bullet shot out of an AR hit his ear. Ask any Dr. Ask anyone who shoots regularly.

Considering that this Trump administration is just one bullshit (manufactured or induced) spectacle after another, the reality of any given event should be questioned. I'm including both the Kirk killing and Trump's near miss ear-shot. Everything Trump is involved with seems weird, not quite right.

So, in this 60 Minutes interview, we find the response to a specific question, is that China is preparing to defeat the USA in a war.
Look how easy Trump has made it for them. He just pissed them off again, by putting another 100% tariffs on top of what was already in place.

The stories that are coming out of the Trump concentration camps are each more horrible than the ones of the previous day. This is a United States we have never seen before, and I think it is very important that this is going on with no real response from the Republicans in Congress.
