  1. Professor tribe is absolutely correct. The tyrant is never satisfied the deal never ends there is no transaction it is just demand give demand again give some more and on it goes. The giver never gets anything back except more stress more anxiety and ever decreasing bank balances.

  2. Ok, so quite a few democratic representatives win, what happens if speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear them in? It’s been known to happen before.

  3. Can I just say that if Trump is able to destroy a person's career then are all those who say they are so sorry for voting for trump really sorry? Of course not! Look how many people are still voting against Americans and America by voting for trump or all of his bootlickers?? Why? Because they don't care, they don't listen, they don't do any research, and they obviously still believe every thing that trump tells them! I know it's crazy, but please don't let these people fool you into believing that they regret voting for Trump because I know they would all do it again if given the chance! They are mostly just snakes, because wky else would they be doing this? Snakes just like their hero Trump! They are doing it because they don't like being hated . It bothers them. They believe they are perfect!!

  4. 🗽 What they do is they say things very aggressively, and I think people will just fall for it, even when it's absolute lies.. so they think that if they say things really aggressively then people are just going to believe it because they say it but people of color on to their b.s. 💝

  5. Trump says North Korea's Kim understands him. So does Putin, Xe, Netanyahu, the Moslem World. South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, New Zeeland Australia, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Central and South America Ukraine, Europe and NATO. Worse 70% of American understand Trump is an incompetent corrupt leader stealing all he can and want him gone.

    No one cares if Iran a Nuke. !3,001 Nuclear weapons are not worse than 13,000.

  6. People say that the only thing TACOman care about is his ballroom. Actually, what he cares the most about going to prison. THAT'S what he cares about. What his minons care about is :"Will I get pardoned," That's it.

  7. Donald trump and his regime is riddled with corruption. He does not keep his promise to average working and poor Americans. He is a persistent liar. VOTING STRAIGHT BLUE this coming midterms.

  8. The universities should have banded together with Harvard to fight the authoritarianism of this administration. But no. They caved not to the administration but to their donors. So much for the integrity of privately funded higher education.

  9. The notion that any US natural born citizen can grow up to become President of the United States is ludicrous. There has to be stricter qualifiers. Donald Trump proves that in fact! He is not qualified to be anything but a slug of a man. My hope is this will bring about legislation for guidelines into just what constitutes a "qualified" presidential candidate. My qualifier would be looking at trump and seeing that as the benchmark for NO! Shame on you MAGA for thinking he was your messiah.

  10. Disparity in earnings – look to Milton Friedman's economics that took over this country and look to Private Equity which needs to be made illegal.

  11. Lawrence. You spend all your time focused on trump. Please. Please. Please. Investigate RUSSELL VOUGHT and the embedding of Heritage Foundation fascists in the government. Trump is the shiny object. The corruption and destruction of the US is happening through Vought and others. Time to name names and connect the dots that keep the theft, corruption, and destruction going.

  12. see saying stuff like that is why trump needs impeached the trump is out of touch and all he dose to use he has no gulit he dosn`t care for the people it is all about what trump wants not the people and it is about money and lieing to the people blue wave is comming for him and nothing he can do he can even right his way out of the blue wave and if he tries time for jail but as i see it their is two laws one for the rich and one for the poor and they are not the same the rich steps down and go`s free when it is a normal person they go to jail right away

  13. US national Debt is going up about a billion a DAY……………………….. now 39.941 TRILLION.
    Repayments on the debt now top 1.2 TRILLION tax payer dollars a year.

  14. Maybe when he says he's going to bomb California…. Or Minnesota or some other Blue State he suddenly has an acute issue with… Kicking and screaming or by forklift, I don't care

  15. A president who has the most powerful military in the world with which to threaten the world and even so can't negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag is not only NOT a good negotiator but a complete and utter failure and loser.👎

  16. My anxiety about the world dropped significantly after reading the book The Silent Dominion by D. Cross. Once you see the patterns he exposes, everything finally makes sense.

  17. Notice how headlines are designed to trigger emotional reactions? Reading the book The Silent Dominion by D. Cross explains why that is done intentionally to keep us divided. Everyone needs to read this to protect their own mind.

  18. I have never highlighted a book so much in my entire life. Reading The Silent Dominion by D. Cross is like someone turning on the lights in a dark room.
