And Trumpians’ consistent lying! You can’t believe a word coming out of their mouths! Are they really so intellectually twisted that they believe it themselves? And, for the historic record: Trump’s ICE squads are comparable to Hitlers Gestapo!
Kat - I don't know how old you are but you sound like a child who still thinks there are monsters under her bed. Your zany positions will not be missed. Did it occur to you that under Biden and Obama several regional and local wars were started. And why are you concerned about goings-on elsewhere, while we now have a closed border, inflation is finally under control, crime is down, millions of undocumented folks have left and, last but not least, corrupt welfare programs are being audited. Like Walz, Newsom should be getting ready to waive his hands and tell us that it is all Trump's retribution. Perhaps you can ask your friend why my and my wife's Medicare premiums went up by 9% in 2026? Obama Care, free care for zillions of illegals, doctors who find it more lucrative to get fat contracts with CMS instead of taking on new clients? Why not be concerned about issue that have a personal impact, instead blabbering about geopolitical issues? Let the big girls and boys handle that.
It wont be real to anybody here in America until China/Russia attacks the US homeland - which most people are too arrogant to think is possible - but it will happen.
LittleFoot - now, why would they do that? Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs? Russia would first have overrun Europe, perhaps a lethargic giant at this stage but don't stir them. Your chicken-little attribute is surfacing again.
Happy New Year, Kat Berger. You don’t need to worry, treasonous Obama and treasonous Biden are out of office and those two monsters-in-charge are unable to continue their power madness in attempting to keep our (yes, our) great President Trump from Making America Great Again, Again. Sit back and enjoy the show from Trump for the next three years, if not longer. And enjoy your tax savings from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. If you’re lucky, you may be invited to a shindig at Trump’s new Big Beautiful Ballroom. BTW, in case you’re interested, I believe there will be a press briefing today on RFK Jr.’s continuing efforts to Make America Healthy Again. Another big, beautiful day for America’s health?
Yes, Kat, Trump is on his way towards WWIII, - but of course, as usual, he has no idea what he is doing! That’s the best I can come up with in his defense.
