I sit here reading through the chaotic mess that is the current state of the Republican Party under the thumb of Donald Trump, and I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and dark amusement. The GOP is tearing itself apart, and it’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck – you can’t look away, but you know it’s going to be a disaster.
The fact that some Republican donors are finally realizing they’ve been duped by a conman is both satisfying and infuriating. They threw their support behind Trump, expecting to see some kind of return on their investment, only to have their money funneled towards his legal fees and personal agenda.… Continue reading
Russia celebrates as Hungary’s Orban says Trump will force Ukraine to surrender to Putin. This statement has sent shockwaves through the international community, sparking fears of increased Russian influence, a weakened NATO, and a potential shift in global power dynamics. The implications of these comments are far-reaching and have the potential to destabilize the delicate balance of power that currently exists.
With or without US aid, Ukraine has shown unwavering resilience and determination in the face of Russian aggression. The idea that Trump could single-handedly force Ukraine to surrender is not only misguided but also dangerous. It speaks to a broader trend of authoritarian leaders cozying up to one another and disregarding the principles of democracy and sovereignty.… Continue reading
Donald Trump stung as new poll shows how unpopular he is
The revelation that Donald Trump’s favorability ratings are plummeting in the eyes of the public comes as no surprise to many of us who have been paying attention to his actions over the past four years. It is alarming, however, that despite the disastrous consequences of his presidency, there are still individuals who view him favorably. The fact that 29 percent of surveyed individuals have a positive view of him is concerning, to say the least.
Surely, losing the 2020 election should have been a wake-up call for Trump, indicating just how unpopular his divisive and damaging policies were.… Continue reading
As a Republican voter, the idea of Joe Biden leading in the polls over Donald Trump is both surprising and satisfying. Reflecting on past experiences like attending events in MAGA strongholds, it is clear that the tide may be turning. The lack of pro-Trump merchandise and the shift in sentiment towards Biden is evident. Despite initial doubts and concerns about Biden’s age and ability to campaign effectively, recent developments, especially his State of the Union address, have reassured many individuals, including myself, about his capabilities and vision for the country.
One thing that stands out about Joe Biden is his authenticity and kindness.… Continue reading
As a hardworking individual who has contributed to Social Security for years, I am appalled by the recent comments made by Donald Trump regarding potential cuts to retirement spending programs. The notion that Social Security is being labeled as a mere spending program is not only insulting but highlights the lack of understanding and empathy towards hardworking Americans who rely on these benefits.
It is truly disheartening to see the lack of specificity in Trump’s proposals, as it reflects a deep-rooted ignorance about the importance and impact of Social Security on millions of Americans. How can someone even consider making such drastic cuts without providing concrete solutions or understanding the repercussions it will have on retirees who have paid into the system their entire lives?… Continue reading
As I sit back and reflect on the recent news of Lauren Boebert being defeated in a Republican poll after receiving an endorsement from Donald Trump, I can’t help but feel a sense of relief. Let me be honest; I have never been a fan of Boebert’s political style or competence as a politician. Having lived in Colorado myself, I’ve had the opportunity to witness firsthand the sentiments of the voters in her district. And it’s clear that many see her as someone who is more concerned with her own image, national attention, and personal interests rather than addressing the local issues that truly matter to them.… Continue reading
What idiot backed Trump’s bond in the E. Jean Carroll trial? Well, this one did. It turns out that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, which is an insurance group. Not surprising given the dubious relationship between Trump and Chubb’s CEO, Evan Greenberg, who was appointed to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations by Trump in 2018. This cozy connection raises serious concerns about the motives behind this decision.
Looking at the bigger picture, shareholders of a publicly traded company like Chubb are not going to be pleased when Trump inevitably defaults on that debt.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news that former President Trump suddenly doesn’t want to ban TikTok after meeting with an investor, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and disappointment. It seems like another glaring example of how easily influenced and swayed he is by the promise of money and personal gain.
Throughout his time in office, Trump has shown a consistent pattern of putting his own interests above those of the country. This stunning reversal on the Chinese-owned app speaks volumes about his lack of principles and integrity. It’s clear that he will say and do whatever serves him in the moment, without any regard for the impact on others or the greater good.… Continue reading
It’s hard to believe that the Republican National Committee, a longstanding institution of American politics, has effectively been taken over by Lara Trump, a member of the Trump family dynasty. The fury among some Republicans is palpable, and it’s not hard to see why. The RNC, once a symbol of conservative values and support for Republican candidates nationwide, is now being used as a personal piggy bank for Trump’s legal bills and their self-serving agenda.
As a Democrat, I can’t help but shake my head at the chaos and corruption that seems to reign supreme within the GOP. The blatant disregard for the principles and ideals that the party supposedly stands for is truly disheartening.… Continue reading
Total Disaster for Trump as Truth Social Crashes During SOTU
As the State of the Union address unfolded, the anticipation of Trump’s live fact-checking on his Truth Social platform quickly turned into a total disaster. The crash of his social media site seemed almost symbolic of the chaos and incompetence that have characterized his leadership. The Republican response, delivered by Katie Britt, was lackluster at best, with an air of desperation and forced smiles that mirrored the overall tone of Trump’s campaign.
It comes as no surprise that Trump’s angry tweets in response to the SOTU were filled with vitriol and baseless accusations.… Continue reading
