When I see Melania with Donald Trump, two words come to mind: pure misery. The facade of their relationship is so transparent, even a child could see through it. Melania, the trophy wife, who married a man for his money only to realize that the riches were far less than promised. The man she married has a reputation for cheating and assaulting women, now she’s stuck with him. Karma truly does have a great sense of humor.
I can’t help but notice how Melania always looks so disinterested and detached when she’s seen with Trump. The forced smiles, the vacant stares, it’s like watching a bad soap opera where the actors forgot their lines.… Continue reading
As I read the news that Trump openly admitted he only wants white people to come to the U.S., it struck a chord within me that resonates with a deep sense of disappointment and frustration. The fact that a sitting president would boldly proclaim such discriminatory and racially motivated sentiments is not only shocking but also incredibly disturbing. The countries he referenced, like Denmark, Switzerland, and Norway, are known for their high quality of life, social safety nets, and healthcare systems – things that the United States often falls short on. It begs the question, why would individuals from these progressive and modern nations want to leave their comfortable and stable lives to come to a country rife with gun violence, inadequate healthcare, and social inequality?… Continue reading
The Arizona Supreme Court’s recent ruling about a century-old law banning nearly all abortions has stirred up a lot of conversation and emotions. It’s a law that was enacted a long time ago, even before Arizona became a state in 1912. So why should it have weight today, when the landscape of society and women’s rights has evolved significantly since then? The fact that Arizona voters may have a chance to rectify this through a ballot measure in November to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution is encouraging. It’s heartening to see that the initiative has garnered over 500,000 signatures, signaling a strong grassroots movement to protect women’s rights in the state.… Continue reading
It’s truly disheartening to see the stark reality of who Trump truly serves laid bare at a recent fundraising gala, where he assured billionaires that he will keep their taxes low. This is a clear indication that his interests lie solely with the elite class, leaving his loyal supporters, particularly those in the MAGA cult, in the dust. The fact that he raised a whopping $50 million at this event speaks volumes about where his priorities truly lie.
It’s not surprising that Trump’s economic platform revolves around catering to the wealthy, as this has been a consistent theme within the GOP for years.… Continue reading
As I sit back and reflect on the current state of politics in America, the words of Jenifer Lewis ring loudly in my mind. It’s baffling to me how some individuals fail to see the parallels between Trump and Hitler, two figures who have left a dark stain on history. The rise of Hitler in Germany didn’t happen overnight; it was a slow and insidious creep towards authoritarianism that had dire consequences for millions of people. And yet, here we are, witnessing a similar pattern unfold in real-time with the current administration.
The comparisons between the early formation of the Nazi party and the MAGA movement are chillingly clear.… Continue reading
As I read about the Alabama secretary of state stating that the Democratic convention would be too late to get Joe Biden on the ballot this fall, I can’t help but feel frustrated by the blatant attempts at voter suppression. The deadline of August 15 has been in place since 1975, and while the Republican National Conventions in recent years have taken place after this date, Alabama is now enforcing it strictly when it comes to the Democratic nominee.
The argument that the Democrats could nominate Biden officially in time and have the convention as a formality seems like a weak attempt to justify this voter suppression tactic.… Continue reading
I am truly astounded by Donald Trump’s recent statement claiming responsibility for ending Roe v Wade. The audacity and lack of empathy displayed by this man never fail to shock me. It leaves me wondering how many women he may have pressured or threatened into having abortions throughout his life.
It is alarming to see how Trump continues to push false claims about Democrats wanting abortion up to the ninth month of pregnancy and even execution after birth. The disrespect he shows towards women is truly disheartening. His blatant disregard for women’s rights and bodily autonomy is despicable.
The fact that Trump is proudly taking credit for ending Roe v Wade is a clear indication of his skewed priorities.… Continue reading
The Biden administration is setting the stage to roll out a comprehensive new student loan forgiveness plan, and the excitement in the air is palpable. As someone who has personally experienced the burden of student loan debt, I can’t help but feel a sense of relief at the possibility of some of that weight being lifted off my shoulders. The prospect of having a portion of my debt forgiven is both empowering and long overdue.
The skyrocketing interest rates on student loans have been a source of frustration for many, myself included. The idea of making payments that primarily cover interest rather than chipping away at the principal amount feels like a never-ending cycle of throwing money into a void.… Continue reading
It comes as no surprise that a fundraising event linked to Donald Trump may have broken the law. In a world where the rich and powerful seem to operate above the law, the idea that Trump’s charity organization, Border911, could have violated IRS rules is hardly shocking. The event, attended by Trump himself and other notable figures, reportedly aimed to garner support for border security without explicitly endorsing Trump’s campaign. However, the invitation prices ranging from $1,200 to $100,000 raise concerns about the organization’s true intentions.
The IRS rules clearly dictate that charitable organizations cannot directly or indirectly participate in political campaigns, yet it seems that Border911 may have skirted around these regulations.… Continue reading
It is truly mind-boggling how Donald Trump continues to evade consequences for his actions, using shady tactics and loopholes to delay the inevitable. The recent $175 million bond fiasco is a perfect example of how he manipulates the system to his advantage, with little regard for the law or ethics. The fact that the insurance company behind the bond is unlicensed and has not been properly vetted should raise red flags for anyone involved in this case.
What is even more concerning is the fine print of the legal document that shifts the burden of payment back to Trump himself, essentially rendering the insurance guarantee pointless.… Continue reading
