You understand nothing if you think I'm a liberal.

I disliked Biden and Kamala.

Ah...but I freakin' HATE Trump...but not because he's a conservative: I like most of his policies.

No, I loathe the orange oaf because he's a sexual predator, a multiply conviced felon, a draft dodger, a liar, a fraud, and because he uses the US Constitution for toilet paper / is now "above the law."

My vehement dislike for Trump does not mean I am a liberal.


As far as I'm concerned, things have really gone rotten in the Oval Office when I actually think a Cheney has all my respect for ethics. I could have never predicted that would happen.

Crook Trump fired all the IG watchdogs. Worse, that no one seems to know when someone will be appointed again. The fox is in the hen house.

Trumpies think this is brilliant.


Get your facts straight, President Trump did not fire "ALL" the IG's, he fired 17 of 74 IG's. Each agency where the IG was fired has an acting IG in place.

Cool. Trump moves up a point, That still leaves him in the bottom of the dumpster.

And he didn't follow the law.

Another DOGE win! $50 million for condoms for Gazans cut from the budget. Maybe there will be a $ Trillion to cut?

I understand the concept of decreasing STDs, decreasing unwanted pregnancies, but in no way can I see this as a proper use of my tax dollars.

That is being disputed.

The White House claimed Tuesday the Biden administration earmarked $50 million for a condom distribution program in the Gaza Strip, but does not offer evidence to back up the claim, which a former senior official dismisses as a “feverish dream

In the first special election since Donald Trump took office, Democrat Mike Zimmer has defeated Republican Katie Elizabeth Whittington to flip Iowa State Senate District 35—a district Donald Trump won by 21 points in the November 2024 election.


I think flipping any seat to Democrat in Iowa is a positive sign.

Maybe "buyer's remorse" is already occurring.

Willing to bet you don't think anything but national defense, cops and jails and building the wall is a proper use of your tax dollars.

Whereas you think all our tax dollars should go to men in dresses in classrooms reading books about penises and vaginas to 6 year olds and having Tampon and Kotex machines in every school boys bathroom. Think I'll take cops and jails and walls any day over that crap.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

How else do 6 year olds learn about penises and vaginas, if we don't tell them?

6 year olds? Let's poll parents with kids that age and see how many agree with you

and of course we can just assume that the people doing this teaching will be parent-approved, not gay or trans activists or anything, right?
