Former Republican, now an Independent who plans to resist the Trump regime with facts, humor & good trouble. BTW, I'm a poor old govt pensioner not interested in investing in gold, crypto or gift cards. Don't even bother.

When you nurture, encourage, reward the "better angels" of human nature like compassion, empathy, humanity, and community, you end up with a great nation that all can enjoy. When you nurture, encourage, reward bigotry, greed, selfishness, lies, and corruption, you destroy a great nation

The guy on the right literally collapsed the Argentinian economy via a crypto scam & other policies Trump & Bessent want to implement here. He's a Trump friendly dictator & just got $20 billion of our tax dollars during a government shutdown.

So America First is slashing spending to feed impoverished Americans, provide healthcare for children, the elderly, disabled & impoverished, rebuilding American infrastructure, investments in American education, so billionaires get a tax cut & Argentina gets $20 billion to blow.

In condemning DEI & pushing for a meritocracy in the Executive Branch, we sure have ended up with the biggest group of unqualified, inept, corrupt & woefully spineless sycophants to the dumbest, most corrupt & failed POTUS our nation has ever had. #SAD

Trump, Johnson & Thune created & control this government shutdown. They can easily end it by making the wise & humane choice to extend ACA tax credits for American citizens that they eliminated in their tax bill for billionaires. This is on them.

Notice how the more Donald Trump pulls off looney distractions, the demand for the complete release of all the #EpsteinTrumpFiles grows in the country across all political affiliation, including Republicans?

Donald, not that you care, but dancing mascots in inflatable suits isn't an insurrection. Neither is the country mocking you, protesting your policies, demanding release of the #EpsteinTrumpFiles or your crashing poll numbers.

Has Trump blamed Biden for opening the locks at the Panama Canal allowing the Japanese to sail their fleet through to sneak up on Hawaii from the east, in a surprise attack where they dropped tons on Tylenol on Oahu to give the army autism & rig the 2020 election?

Bondi is urging Trump to get an early start on the pardons. She's hoping she can get a discount on hers.

Donald, did you forget? You were president on January 6th, Biden hadn't taken office yet, in fact, the election hadn't been certified yet. The FBI was deployed to assist Capitol police under attack by the rioters, after the rioting began. Do you need another cognitive test?

Newly hired fry cooks at McDonald's get more training for their job than the people Noem is hiring for ICE. Of course, those who can't handle the training at McDonald's, then go to work for ICE.

There are the educated & accurately informed people about science, history, politics & other complex matters, then there are those who "hear things" or are told things & declare themselves experts without looking into them. They're too ignorant to realize they are wrong.
