I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.
Dear journalists never ask him an open ended question
Always premiss your questions with the correct legal answer.
The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution clearly states "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" This would obviously disqualify you, RIGHT?

We have a sitting president
that would rather rape and
traffick kids than FEED THEM.
I can't imagine a President so tone deaf that they would throw a glitzy Halloween Great Gatsby party at their private club while he's doing nothing to prevent children/families from going hungry with a government shutdown he initiated by serving up tax breaks to the rich on a silver platter.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

The only thing I'll watch on CBS is NFL Football.
Ask your first question and don't move on to a second question until you get a real answer, keep drilling down.
Rinse and repeat.
Trump is a pathological liar and the media never comes prepared to fight his constant stream of bullshit.
Thanks for watching for the rest of us who can't stand listening to that demented old Malignant Narcissist.
It's a cult and you must protect the dear leader at all costs. Surrender your common sense, critical thinking and soul in service to the monster.

Honestly, I wake up every day wondering what new insanity he will come up with.

It’s always something with him. And it’s never good.

Probably both, but more of the latter...

The surveillance state is a reality and advancing rapidly with the virtual unlimited budget of DHS, Defense, DOJ and the data amassed by DOGE.
The general public is sleepwalking into authoritarian/tech-bro state control.

A description worthy of F Scott Fitzgerald's Gatsby.
They lie as they breathe.
Don't believe what they say, only what actually happens.
Trump 1.0 Foxconn WI, promised up to 10B investment and 13,000 good paying jobs. Results a few hundred jobs and no real high tech MFG facility. It's an R&D campus.
Millions of taxpayer $$ for infrastructure.
