   It troubles me that Trump is operating the Legislature by remote control from Mar-a-Largo…

   I don’t care about the editors’ and reporters’ political leanings. Just because they belong to one party or another doesn’t matter as long as they strive to do their jobs impartially. And I haven’t heard any biased reporting from them. They stick to the facts as far as I can tell, unlike, say Fox News. It IS less expensive to just make stuff up and tell lies; Unfortunately that gives Fox an advantage.

   Yep.

   Very good questions!

   They think they can manage him, or that they will get rich by being his hangers-on. Remember: remember that there are 147 (maybe about 145 now?) Trumpublicans in our legislature who voted to not accept Biden’s win. They are either stupid, bat-poop crazy, cynical opportunists, driven by greed, or some combination of the four. They are not qualified to run a popsicle stand, much less the USA. Remember, and VOTE BLUE at every opportunity!

   Trumpublican Paradise continued…13. No work on mitigating climate change; no environmental protections.

   14. No free press. GOP politicians don’t care about the environment or mitigating climate change because they intend to stay permanently in office and use their money and power to take over remaining livable locations as environmental conditions worsen. Republican leaders don’t care if America dies as long as they can feed off the carcass for their lifetimes.

   How many Americans would have to die or be virtually enslaved in jobs with less than living wages for this “platform” to work? Why do you people who support today’s GOP, Trump, and Trump wannabes think that you will come out winners under this regime?

   Please excuse the repost: Here’s the Republican “platform.” They won’t write it down because too many voters might read it, so I did it for them.

   Despite being in the minority, members of the SCOTUS, “Conservatives,” RWNJs, and white supremacists are attempting to drag this country back to their imaginary Jeffersonian agrarian idyl. The 1790 census (when Jefferson was Secretary of State), counted 5.3M Americans. Only white males owning 50 acres or more of land were permitted to vote, approximately 6% of the population. Free white men who did not own land, free white females, and slaves could not vote.

   In 1790 the American population was largely rural, making a living by farming. Our most recent census counted 332,403,650 Americans. Current estimates are that 83% of Americans live in urban areas. They do not work at farming.

   In pursuit of “small government,” the following are conservatives’ goals for their Jeffersonian America: 1. No women’s rights.

   2. No civil rights for people of color, or for any other minority groups.

   3. No immigration, other than Caucasians.

   4. No labor unions.

   5. No health insurance.

   6. No legal recourse due to Republican-packed courts.

   7. No social security.

   8. No disability insurance.

   9. No minimum wage.

   10. No free and fair elections (ultimately, no elections).

   11. Imposed state religion; government funding of religious schools.

   12. Unregulated militias unchecked by Republican-packed courts.

   Repost — apologies to those who’ve already read it. Always remember that there are 147 (maybe about 145 now?) Trumpublicans in our legislature who voted to not accept Biden’s win. They are either stupid, bat-poop crazy, cynical opportunists, or some combination of the three. They are not qualified to run a popsicle stand, much less the USA. Remember, and VOTE BLUE at every opportunity!

   FJB: I sincerely hope that you are a Russian or Chinese bot, because it would be terribly embarrassing if anyone as stupid, misled, rude, and stubbornly persistent were a fellow American.

    Exactly. Trump doesn’t give a rat’s patootie (sorry Pizza Rat, I love you) about any particular topic, and will change his “beliefs” without shame if he thinks it will benefit him. Then he’ll claim anything he said previously is “Fake News”.
