I disagree with George Clooney. Donald Trump does not have charisma, though to the lower classes he might.

JFK had charisma, Barack Obama had charisma.

Not the convicted felon.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

Guilty -- and he can be tried after he leaves office.

“The investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity — no one should be above the law in this country & the law required he be held to account”

Some of us believe in and stood up for civil rights, and in the 1960s, we had two bills passed by Democrats and a few Rs that gave us voting and civil rights.

I am proud of that. I stood for civil rights as a college student, and I do today. Then, we elected a black president.

Did not matter.

I thought that going with Blue Sky would be great, but instead, it is worse than Twitter.
