It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

“Clueless arrogance” is an excellent description!!

Trump won’t go to jail for his vile sexual acts either, although he, Andrew, and many other powerful, well-connected men should. I’ll just be happy, though, when he is no longer president.

He makes lots of claims and promises…but the hard truth is he’s a functionally illiterate, egotistical clown who thinks he knows more than anyone else (in the room or otherwise) but who, in reality, hasn’t a clue how to accomplish anything of substance.

Incompetent, easily triggered children are running the U.S. government 😒

And that includes Trump’s first inauguration 🤣🤣🤣

I’d like to think Trump has truly *jumped the shark* with this. Shutting a portion of a vital SoCal highway. Shooting live rounds INTO the U.S. from a U.S. warship. Demonstrating again how very fragile his ego is. But he’s been enabled & empowered by SCOTUS, Congress, and his hand-picked Cabinet so…

Donald Trump doesn’t understand how the economy works nor is he interested in serving the needs of Americans. His default mode is ego gratification…and that’s where his primary efforts are directed. Until and unless he’s removed from office, we won’t see anything different.

Trump’s need for external validation borders on the absurd. Never mind…it’s completely absurd 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ummm…who’s gonna tell him???

I appreciate your sane voice in the midst of unimaginable insanity at HHS and the CDC.

Our government is being driven by uneducated, uninformed, unqualified, incompetent Trump sycophants…which is the only qualification necessary in his administration. The combined damage being done by these entitled white men (mostly) and women really cannot be underestimated.

I’m in Wisconsin (where we have our own share of dumbasses) but I was born and raised until the age of 7 in Brooklyn. Cuomo seems to be like Trump…really only interested in what being Mayor of NYC can do for him. Mamdani appears to be more interested in what the Mayor of NYC can do for New Yorkers.

Annndd…she’s back 😏

No checks. No balances. ZERO transparency. What they’re discussing/planning/doing behind closed doors & away from the prying eyes of Congress (members of which are being PAID to have prying eyes) can’t be adequately defended…so they’ve adopted secrecy as the MO for conducting the people’s business 😒

She doesn’t. Like so many in Trump’s cabinet, Linda McMahon is uninformed, unqualified, and incompetent.

Only one sentence needed…“RFK Jr. is an idiot.”

I. Can’t. Even 😒

Trump is leading with bold stupidity…and the Republican Congress is too busy wringing its hands over the implications of releasing the Epstein evidence to take any meaningful action.

Blah, blah, blah, Biden. Blah, blah, blah, Obama. Blah, blah, blah, Democrats. Blah, blah, blah, Trump is the greatest president in America’s history. Oh, and blah, blah, blah, Biden was President on Jan. 6. It never stops with these people 😒

nlstuever @nlstuever.bsky.social · 2d

Yep, America First…right after Argentina and Qatar and ICE and shutting down agencies that protect Americans 🤦🏼‍♀️ Trump was never committed to America First…but he’s been steadfastly committed to Trump first and foremost 😒
