Yea, you don’t understand Twitter like Boogie either. You have a young child and have never been on Twitter? Twitter is the news. Where do you find your current events?


I’ve been on Twitter.  just hate it. It’s a cesspool. Only time I see tweets is when someone shares something. My oldest is 11 and definitely not allowed to have twitter lol.  

Google homepage is where I see most of the news

Will all come down to how much authority they have. Unless it comes with real teeth from Congress, and Congress passes their recommendations, won't really change things. 

Congress controls the purse strings and now especially post Chevron, the regulations power. 

DOGE may well end up in the dustbin of history with all previous government efficiency commissions.


Probably true; the monster is too big, the swamp too deep.  It will take full on calamity/depression to whack government, which is sad because we could cut 25% and no one would know it happened.

I’ll take anything at this point. I think it was Ron Paul who used to do the list of the worst government spending each year.

The Dem medias are quoting Hillary Clinton's accusation ad nauseam today, calling Tulsi Gabbard a Russian asset.

It appears they will not learn why they lost...and JDV will be POTUS in 4 years.

Especially if the Dems don't take the votes of their constituents' for president into account. It's just blindly being oppositional instead of situational. For example, I don't mind if the Dems fight against the Trump administration if he's going to be doing something that will be completely disastrous. But if they do this fighting against every little thing while simultaneously pushing the Russia hoax nonsense, there is a good chance that they will lose the midterms. They are already revving to do just that.

I love to see it.

Maybe in the White House, we will see.

I personally think it's a social justice boondoggle.

Just how much power will Jr. have to change our food culture to more healthy ingredients? 

How much power will he have to do what people want, such as removing chemicals for artificial food coloring in cereals. Can he directly force private companies to change their processes? Or will that be something that needs to start from the FDA directly? Will there be lawsuits from these companies or will they willingly comply as to not hurt their image?

Huckabee as ambassador to Israel?

I have absolutely no faith that Trump intends to stop war. That means not only in Israel but Ukraine too. 

Huckabee, Hegseth, Rubio = war

Great - a born again evangelical getting mixed up in God's holy land.  We don't need anymore religious nut bags over there then already are.

I don't think having a faith in God is the problem.

It's when these people fade faith into politics and obeying the machine is where the problems come into play. Then it's not about faith. 

On the other hand, I can't argue too much about the nut bags comment. 

Let's face it, God isn't coming to these people to command them to slaughter and devastation.

My exception isn't that he has faith in God.  It's that he's an outspoken "look at me" evangelical.  Many evangelicals are passionate about Israel - not because of any sense of global or political purposes.  It is because they believe that God truly told the Jews they were his "Chosen" and that Israel is the "Promised Land" intended for them by scripture.  So having a guy like this in a position like ambassader to Israel runs the risk of having our US representative's actions there dictated by the Old Testament.

It’s not the old testament I’m worried about. The new one however, is a little concerning

Considering that the Bible says the Lord himself will set up this kingdom, I don't think anyone has to worry about Mike Huckabee.

My stance is that Christians all the world can pray for Israel all they want. 

But Israel and Palestine are going to keep on doing what they do. They are also allowed to go into debt as much as they dare. 

Same with Ukraine. 

We should not continue to blatantly ignore what is happening in our own country to satisfy the military industrial complex, The Establishment, or any sense of "well, we've always done this". Too fucking bad.

Trump just continues to piss me off and he better watch it or he will have masses of people in DC protesting HIM.
