I am not the Founding Father who said, "Give me liberty or give me death," but I am someone who cares about liberty, the Constitution, the rule of law, and the ideal of equal justice under the law.

So instead of using the Coast Guard, Trump has deployed 7 large Navy warships, a nuclear submarine, and several million dollar surveillance aircraft at great expenses to sink a few small boats. It would be far cheaper to pay to have drug smugglers sink their own boats.

I don’t know why this doesn’t get more coverage. The significant decline in the dollar caused by Trump’s erratic policies increases the price Americans pay for imported goods.

Not all of us will be affected. The ultra wealthy Republicans that want to end government health insurance programs will be fine.

A big story that is not being covered is that the U.S. has 7 large warships, a nuclear submarine, and several million dollar surveillance aircraft operating in the Caribbean at enormous expense to destroy a few small boats. Also our Navy personnel are not being paid.

Two thirds of bankruptcies in the U.S. are caused by medical debt. As more people lose health insurance, the number of bankruptcies will rise.

If only Obama had not been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, Trump wouldn’t care so much.

When he says “we are doing,” he means that Russell Vought is doing the things his billionaire bosses told him to do. He was always going to gut the parts of government they don’t like.

She has not grown a conscience or gotten more compassionate, she is just concerned about getting re-elected.

With all the things he has to please Trump, I don’t know how he keeps up with his Grindr communications.

Patrick Henry 48 @patrickhenry48.bsky.social · 1d

Very true.

Thanks

Trump has always been lazy and has always found people to do his work. Now that he is a dictator, his work as he views it is to stay in power, enrich himself, and punish anyone who disagrees with him.

Trump no longer has to fund frivolous lawsuits. Now that he is President again, taxpayers are funding them for him.

We have been a minority rule country since forever. For example, Trump got reelected with 32% of the popular vote and a rural red state gets the same number of Senators as California or New York. I hope we are not running out of time for the majority to take control.

Or the ones who stormed the Capitol or the person who pardoned those who stormed the Capitol.

This is a stealthy approach by the billionaires who fund the Heritage Foundation to further their control our government and silence critics.

Can you imagine what Texas governor Abbot would do if a Democratic President sent Illinois National Guard troops to Texas?

Trump combines the traits of malignant narcissism, ignorance, and venality with worsening dementia. Over time, his behavior will become more erratic and dangerous.

Patrick Henry 48 @patrickhenry48.bsky.social · 1d

He used to be monumentally stupid. That was before his worsening dementia.

Also, by controlling all our information, they ruin the lives of their enemies.

The relationship is strange and their ideas are dangerous. Also, Palantir, the company Theil founded, is building a master database with all our information. The stated purpose is to track down undocumented workers, but it could have even more sinister uses.

This doesn’t get enough press. Vance’s mentor is Peter Theil. Theil got Vance high paying jobs, funded his Senate campaign, and pushed for him to become VP. Theil has dangerous apocalyptic ideas and has influenced Vance’s beliefs, such as the idea that the U.S. should have a dictator.

MAGA will not go away, but the billionaires will decide who the next leader is, possibly Vance or Stephen Miller. Russell Vought will continue to destroy our government so his billionaire bosses don’t have to pay taxes or get regulated.

Maybe her constituents are waking up or she knows more Epstein stuff will come out, but it’s strange that she is speaking out given her history.

If Democrats were doing cyber attacks, Trump’s goons would be on it.
