As I reflect on the recent news regarding Senator Lisa Murkowski signaling openness to leaving the GOP, I am struck by the significance of this potential decision. To see a longstanding Republican figure like Murkowski express regret over the direction her party is taking under the influence of former President Donald Trump is both telling and concerning. The fact that someone of her position and stature within the Republican party is considering such a move speaks volumes about the current state of the GOP and its relationship with Trump.
The idea that the GOP is “seemingly becoming a party of” Trump is not a new revelation, but it is one that continues to ring true as we witness the ongoing influence of Trump within the Republican party.… Continue reading
It’s truly mind-boggling to me how some Americans can continue to support Trump, despite everything that has transpired. As a veteran, it’s especially disheartening to see fellow veterans stand by someone who has disrespected our war dead and their families. The recent revelations about Rupert Murdoch knowingly spreading lies, despite the truth being known, is a stark reminder of the manipulation and distortion that has permeated our media landscape for far too long.
The comparisons to historical atrocities like Hitler’s regime are chilling, and it’s alarming to see a similar pattern potentially emerging in the most powerful nation in the world.… Continue reading
I have been following the recent uproar over the GOP-aligned organization’s call for the abolition of presidential term limits, potentially paving the way for a potential ‘Trump in 2028’ scenario. The idea of a president serving more than two terms goes against the core principles of democracy that our country was built upon. The thought of Trump potentially being in office for an extended period is certainly unsettling to many, considering his controversial and divisive reign during his first term.
As I read through the various comments and opinions on this matter, it is clear that there are strong feelings on both sides of the argument.… Continue reading
I have been a lifelong GOP voter, but in 2016, my perspective began to shift. At that time, I was more right-leaning and held the belief that both sides had flaws, but liberals were worse. However, the Trump era changed everything for me. I saw the chaos, divisiveness, and lack of leadership that characterized his presidency, and it became impossible to ignore. The Republican Party, which I had aligned with for so long, began to reveal its true colors – prioritizing the interests of the wealthy and powerful over the well-being of the American people.
Hillary Clinton, someone who had been demonized by the GOP for years, began to make sense to me.… Continue reading
As I sit here reflecting on the current state of our justice system, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and disillusionment. The recent actions of Trump, his threats towards judges and their families, and his blatant disregard for the rule of law have truly raised alarm bells among conservative judges. However, it’s hard to ignore the fact that these so-called conservative judges have played a significant role in enabling and empowering Trump to shred our justice system to pieces.
The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, which seeks to grant dictatorial powers to the president and enact a fascist agenda, is a chilling reminder of the dangerous path we are heading towards.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news surrounding Trump’s continuous targeting of a judge’s daughter despite prosecutors explicitly telling him to desist, I cannot help but feel a deep sense of frustration and disappointment. The fact that there seem to be no consequences for his actions is not only infuriating but also exposes a glaring loophole in our judicial system.
It is disheartening to see how Trump, like a petulant child, continues to push the boundaries without any fear of repercussions. The prosecutor’s plea for him to stop seems futile, as it is clear that mere words and warnings hold no weight in deterring his behavior.… Continue reading
Susan Collins won’t vote for Trump. Big surprise, right? Well, not really. In fact, I think we all saw this coming. Susan Collins has a history of talking a big game and then failing to deliver. Remember when she voted to not convict Trump during the impeachment trial because she thought he had “probably learned his lesson”? Yeah, that was a real show of spine.
Her recent announcement that she won’t be voting for Trump shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. After all, she has enabled his disastrous policies for years. She talks a big game but when it comes down to it, her actions always seem to fall short.… Continue reading
Trump’s latest attack on Judge Merchan’s daughter in the hush money trial rant is not only appalling but also a dangerous display of his flagrant disregard for the rule of law. It’s disheartening to see the justice system repeatedly bend over backwards to accommodate his outrageous behavior and blatant attempts to intimidate those involved in his legal proceedings. The fact that he can openly go after a judge’s family without facing immediate consequences is a stark reminder of the unjust privilege he seems to enjoy.
The hypocrisy of Trump’s supporters is glaringly evident in their defense of his unwarranted attacks on those who stand in his way.… Continue reading
It is truly disheartening to witness the blatant disregard for the law and the justice system displayed by former President Trump. The recent attack on Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter after a gag order was issued is a clear demonstration of Trump’s complete arrogance and lack of respect for the legal process. It is infuriating to see someone in such a position of power continuously flout the rules and face no real consequences for their actions.
The fact that Trump is not held accountable for his actions sends a dangerous message to the public. It showcases a blatant disregard for the law and showcases a two-tiered system where the rich and powerful can operate with impunity.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent stunt with the Bible isn’t brilliant – it’s a clear sign of desperation. As someone who claims to be a good Christian, Trump’s actions to sell Trump-branded Bibles are not only tacky and disrespectful but also manipulative. It’s evident that he’s using religion as a tool to appeal to his base and make a profit.
The fact that nearly a third of the donations received by Trump’s political organization have gone to legal bills is concerning. It raises questions about the integrity of his motives and the transparency of his fundraising efforts. Trump’s attempt to funnel donations from churches to bypass the Johnson amendment is not a noble cause but rather a strategic move to manipulate the system for personal gain.… Continue reading
