I have read

But @booker.senate.gov figured out the biggest best thing HE could do right now. And then he did it.

Why is ANYONE asking Trump how he feels about a third term? Can you imagine any former president getting propped up that way? Stop pandering.

My newest post. I started it during the SOTU but finished it today when, once again, Trump talked about a 3rd term and media breathlessly reported on it.
"I'm not watching nonsense"
A few weeks ago, as Don T gave his State of the Union address and Vance sat behind him looking like he just swallowed a raw potato, I was on BlueSky, and saw this gem of an exchange:

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…
There would be bipartisan calls for investigations
Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion
Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day
Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Yes. Thank you.
"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

Trumps comment simply drives home his alienness. Standing against his degeneracy is standing with America. We don’t have masters. We don’t bow to tyrants. Americas civic tradition is complex, democratic, libertarian, raucous, conflicted. It abhors tyrants.

From the radical leftists at Good Morning America:
There have been many signs of gross incompetence in the Musk-Trump sledgehammer approach. Now this:
"Multiple current and former employees described the situation as 'a national security crisis.'"

"They're breaking the government so they can steal from it. I want the government to protect taxpayers and consumers instead" is neither a hard, nor complex, message.

Since all the transphobes are quiet about the possibility of the Department of Education getting eliminated, I guess it was never about protecting women’s sports after all, since the DOE is the department that enforces Title IX.
