I don't know about you but the only time I really watch TV ads is during the Super Bowl. Most of the time I usually find something else to occupy my time during the ads. During election season, I really skip the TV ads.

Sen Tillis may publish a book and list the times he pushed back but it will never rehabilitate him for voting for the "Big Ugly Bill" or Hegseth or RFKJr. I do not think there is enough forgiveness to forget that damage.

I am old enough to remember when members of Congress, cabinet members the VP and the President were statemen with a reverence for this country and all its people and would never spew foul language during a public speech, a speech unacceptable for children.

I read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" in the summer of 2024. Crushing free media was one of the tactics used to turn Germany. Maybe if people study history more, we would not repeat it.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Do ICE agents understand that a Presidential pardon in 2029 only covers federal crimes? Murder, attempted murder and assault are state crimes. I am sure Minnesota and Maine know this

Personally, I think every WH reporter should refuse to cover Presidential press conferences and stop questioning him on the WH lawn and at airports. Stop giving him airtime

Trump only won by 1.5 points! He did not get 50% of the popular vote. There are 75 Million Americans who did not vote for him......75 million. He is not beloved. He is divisive and disliked.

The Kennedy Center was financially stable until Trump took over: "In the fiscal year ending in 2024, when the center was led by President Deborah Rutter and a bipartisan board of trustees, it brought in about $40 million more than it spent" www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

What the Kennedy Center’s Tax Return Reveals

A previously unseen filing captures the state of the institution seven months after Donald Trump’s takeover.

What the hell happened to the old adage I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it I always thought Americans believed this. Apparently 30% do not

How long before he wants to put his name on the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Memorial or the Jefferson Memorial? When will he try to etch his name in the Vietnam War memorial or sit a statue of himself in one of the FDR memorial vignettes? He is beyond evil and disgusting
