Republicans want everything to return to 1950s America but the tax code.

This echoes of the time in early 2020 when Trump wouldn’t let a cruise ship dock because he didn’t want to add to his COVID numbers. It’s about his ego, not reality. He’s hiding casualty numbers. He’s dishonoring the military. He’s unfit to lead. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...

I love how Pete Buttigieg goes on Fox "News" and completely shatters their hysterics about how Democrats are animalistic communists hellbent on destroying everything. As a veteran, Pete has a helluva lot more gravitas than drunken mistress abuser Pete Hegseth.
