As always you are right on point saying out loud too many Americans willingly or ignorantly refuse to admit. It seems many Americans are slowly waking up but it's not fast enough. It is greed and power against ignorance and apathy. We'll soon see how that ends up.

Great piece. ...but don't give him the credit of being a "fine artist" of Anything!

Yes, things cost less. There is not only price increases at the grocery but shinkflation. Packages are smaller. Insurance prices doubled over last year, rent skyrocket thanks to tarrifs and shortages. Medical costs are up, prescriptions doubled in cost. So, stop pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining.

Excellent work as usual … I so enjoy your posts 👏👏👏👏.

Facts matter and the truth has been obliterated by this administration…. And some before Trump . I think I have the “ best solution “

An implanted “AI truth button” required on the forehead of ALL politicians… that flashes red when they lie . Kinda like Rudolf the red nose reindeer …. This would work . If they can do biometrics on citizens , they can do this to all elected politicians. 😆😆😆Problem solved .

CNN is your fact checker??? They rewrite the facts to suit their own agenda. I pray your deception is brought to light by the truth. Ask yourself, did things cost less with a democratic government? Were you safer? Were you happier? Or were you constantly angry? Don’t kill another person because you may disagree with something they say. Be kind, be patient and respectful.

Actually, since ICE has been implemented, we are ALL less safe, many of us were happier with a President we could trust not to blow up fishermen in boats far from our shores and our family slept peacefully and woke up to boring contentment knowing we could afford groceries, gas and insurance… unlike today’s economy of the trump conservatives … ANN that fatso has spent 71 million of our taxpayer money cheating at golf, at HIS golf clubs…

Those weren’t fishermen, they were cartel bringing drugs to your country to poison more of your people. I’ve are deporting only the people who are there illegally. Most of whom have serious criminal records. They are there to protect you. They are stopping these people from taking over your homes, taking jobs from your kids and killing whomever they want . ICE are the good guys.

Lonnie, how do you know that they were drug smugglers? And if you would get your news from someplace other than Fox, Newsmax and so forth… you would wake up and see that you are being lied to by trump and his unqualified government cronies… ICE is in no way the good guys.

I guess we think alike when it comes to the news we choose to watch. I trust my sources over your. BTW- I don’t watch FOX or NewsMax but I certainly do t watch the far left sources either…like CNN or MSNBC, and others. I trust the independent journalists who are not bought by politicians.

Obviously, you are not aware of the analysis from experts on drug smuggling practices. First of all, Fentanyl does not come from Venezuela or Colombia. The boats do not carry more than 2 or 3 crew members because they need space for their cargo. Drug interdiction does not involve blow up boats w/ human beings in them...or hanging onto their boat!!

Are you a bot ? Clearly you don’t understand what the real situation is with ICE and deportations …. You must be a 🦊.

Things were infinitely better before Trump! He’s encouraged layoffs, &

Created massive inflation with his despicable tariffs. The whole MAGA love for the 1800s is driving racism & oppression.

Then trump has chosen to starve & murder American Citizens. He has insisted on abandoning modern technology in favor of heavily toxic discharges. He has empowered RFK to expand conspiracy theories &

Stop healthy vaccinations & testing. We have seen measles epidemics, and serious illnesses growing by abandoning PROVEN tests, & solutions.

Somewhat behind our backs, Trump has expanded his Trump Crime Family wealth by billions using bribes, & a weopanized government to extort millions all over.

The most corrupt president in history!

Juanita Tucker's avatar

Read some history, go back in time to when constitution was written, written letters from the founders what they thought. Don’t complain until you do!

Crystalwheel - My Road To Now's avatar

Juanita, there is a time to leave tradition behind when it no longer serves… We the People… and we now understand that means ALL the people, not just the ones that conservative magats deem acceptable.

Jack Jacobson's avatar

We have no representation at present. Trump & his MAGAts are pushing misinformation & many legal manipulations to prevent votes from anyone other than MAGAts. There are many accounts that included ways to avoid instances like our current situation.

A self-destructive relic!
