We will become a nation of modern HOOVERVILLES.
They will appropriately be named for the man who created them this time. "TRUMP SLUMS", "TRUMPVILLES"

Somehow there seems satisfaction in the smirks if he can take even more from Americans!

Fred Trump ran slums for profit.
How will Donald do it?

USA Today op ed by Rex Huppke[@rexhuppke.bsky.social ] is sarcasm @ its best

"Folks, my vision is becoming reality. America is getting a fantastic Trump-approved White House ballroom! What could be more important than that?"

Healthcare? Medicare? Social Security? Congress actually doing something?

Epiphany of the day.
Speaker Johnson has now closed down the US House of Representative for he says 3 weeks, but they haven't had a single roll call for 30 days. If you calculate that effectively that means they have now vacationed to tune of $1.8 million taxpayer dollars. Who's wasteful now Mike?

TurningTexasBlue @tigerfan519.bsky.social · 17h

Speaker Johnson is lacking in thinking when he perpetuates the same lie that Democrats were and seek to give healthcare to illegal aliens, despite numerous interviews where Dems seek to set the record straight that it is federally against the law to do so, and they haven't!
Grow up MIKEY!

TurningTexasBlue @tigerfan519.bsky.social · 17h

While making up a plethora of false statements about Democrats being the sole reason the government is shut down.
Speaker Johnson told one of the "biggest whoppers" claiming that they want to waste federal dollars on programs Americans don't want... what about giving Argentina $20Billion as Trump?

Abigail Disney (film maker) & John Bartman (farmer) have joined forces against the policies of Donald Trump.
Disney wants the rich to be taxed fairly to prevent the nation's budget default.
Bartman is a media wonder against Trump bailouts:
"We don’t want a bailout. We want markets for our crops.”

Nice... maybe next they can buy the property along the Brazos & damn up the water before GIGATOWN to prevent Elon from contaminating 8 million gallons of water a day... or 2.9 Billion gallons a year...

Once again a humble American who's goal in life was to pay it forward so others might have. Imagine what our nation would be like if the Zuckerberg - Musk - Bezos mafia were using their wealth for such progress, not the demolition of our society.

Edwin Castro won the California Lottery - only winner of the record-breaking $2.04B Powerball jackpot. Edwin Castro instead of using all the money for personal gain, rather created the Edwin Castro Foundation dedicated to raising and providing additional funding for public education in California.

In Japan researchers created a hydrogen battery. It stores energy@ 194°F (90°C) – a massive improvement over previous versions, which required temperatures between 572–752°F (300–400°C) to function & operates @ colder temperatures... forget Elon's lithium if this can be scalable...

If you’re thinking “huh, it’s pretty notable that they didn’t just pop this guy federally, especially since that would undermine the administration’s narrative about political violence,” astute observation, have an inquiry into the U.S. Attorney’s Office about that. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump charged with threats against Hakeem Jeffries

Prosecutors said that Christopher Moynihan was among the first rioters to enter the Capitol grounds and watched rioters fight with police at the rotunda door.

Wouldn't it be interesting if someone somehow were to lend incentive to Prince Andrew to spill the beans on someone else... say a balding guy with a bad combover & wig...

Look @ states who depend more on Federal aid than they pay in, RED STATES draw $351 billion versus BLUE STATES who received $148 billion more than paid in.
Ratio of nearly 3 to 1 .... so explain how these RED STATES are so much more prosperous than BLUE?

Sounds like more spin by Trump economics!

TurningTexasBlue @tigerfan519.bsky.social · 22h

When you look at the numbers... Blue States have 9 states generating 56% more Federal revenue than they receive versus RED States ... ($658 billion to $290 billion) ... Trump is cutting off his nose to spite AMERICA!

How is it that TX Gov Abbott among others are so arrogant that the nation revolves around them?

Somehow the economics don't bear out his & Trump's attitudes about Blue States!

GOP pundit Bryan Cohen states the obvious....
The signing was fluff by Trump to gain media attention...
Give him credit.
He forced Netanyahu to initiate peace overtures, which got the remaining - living hostages back.
Palestinians got lots of people back, for Netanyahu to simply kill them later

Welcome to the friggin world brainwashed by Steve Bannon's bullshyte!

He failed in America so he moved on to BREXIT... now he'd be back making the Yanks miserable again promoting more bullshyte about how great Trump's destruction of America is...

Will another 79 million Americans step up and state the same?

NO. But if another 10-20 million are feeling this and step up and vote this time for progress, not a nightmare... we'll see a better America..
