8+ flight delays and 15 hours later, I’m on the train home.

If the US were to”waking up,” we would be in the streets until Congress removed Trump and his entire administration.

We aren’t there yet, so, no, the US isn’t “waking up.”

This regime and its Republican sycophants haven’t thought through the implications of ending parts or all of the ACA.

Best thing that could happen is a 2/3rds majority in both chambers of Congress that pass a universal healthcare bill (Medicare for all or whatever), that Congress also has to use.

My point exactly.

These guys are Border Patrol, not ICE. Charlotte is not within 100 miles of any coastline (border), and, therefore, these guys shouldn’t even be there.

The tribunals are going to be lit. 🔥 🔥 🔥

To Trump’s credit (and I gagged a bit typing that), he has lived far longer than I expected.

The problem isn’t that he’s barely hanging on, it’s that he’s still hanging on.

I’m in the U.S., and I don’t want to be here either.

30 days … based on what? Trump and Co. has gotten away with wrecking the US economy, invading cities to terrorize citizens, ignoring court mandates, grifting mind-boggling amounts of money from the federal coffers, and who knows what else.

Congress doesn’t seem ready to remove them yet.

Trump is a pedophile and a sexual predator. He’s not gay, but gender of the victim doesn’t matter. It’s about power and ego.

The gaudiness of his decor is very likely because he’s trying to recreate historical displays of wealth, while completely misunderstanding how such displays look now.

How do you predict it will go when it is discovered that some of those children Trump r*ped inevitably turn out to be boys?

Are there people leaving MAGA?

I’m being serious. — Most folks that I know that support Trump still support him. It may not last if the whole of the files are released, if he and his administration is ousted, if there are Nuremberg-esque trials held. But for now, he still seems to have support.

That’s the thing though.

For better or worse, the US Navy protects the world’s trade routes. — If a quarter of the Navy is being diverted because Trump is a dumbass, what is happening where those Navy vessels should be?

I agree. Anyone who committed crimes should be held accountable.

What Trump (or whoever writes this drivel for him) forgets is that folks who are prosecuted for any Epstein-related crimes are going to name names.

I suspect Trump’s name is going to be shouted the loudest.

Ironic namesake, given Paine’s stance on religion.

Provided I have a flight, yes!

And here I think Trump says exactly what he means …
“We don’t need your votes.”
“Tariffs are paid by other countries.”
“ICE agents are going after the worst criminals.”

And soon, I think, this one will be relevant: “If we’re in a war, there won’t be elections.”

Just an FYI, like most things, Trump has it all wrong.

The Magnificent Mile isn’t a mall. It is a section of Michigan Avenue with a ton of shops and restaurants. Very high-end area.

Nobody who goes to the Mag Mile wants to see the military (or ICE or any other armed mobs) there.

Just long enough to get us past Christmas.
