Whether you believe that govt can and should be more and better, or as RWL might've that Trump's govt is its base nature laid bare; you must see that Trump's govt is no govt but is " a man or a few men with power over many." He / they are using that power to make America an abject kleptocracy.

Some people in our nation are aligned with the Constitution & the laws of the United States. Some people are aligned against them. Know where you stand & don't stand too close to people who are on the wrong side. This is a moral issue, not a partisan one. Moral issues change America.

I think the single most important thing that should happen is states enforcing laws against ICE crimes. Any attempt by the federal government to fight that is an attempt to end the union of the states.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs. Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

This is a worrisome time — not so much for the damage Trump can do, which would be worrisome enough on its own, as for the normalization of it in American minds. Trumpism will linger because Americans’ sense of right and wrong will be altered.

The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people (Trump's tariffs are the largest tax increase in American history.), too much authority from the states (Trump is militarily invading states.), and too much liberty with the Constitution (Trump is routinely defying it). ~ Reagan
