Immigration is NOT the problem. WE Do NOT have an immigration problem.

What we have is an IGNORANCE problem.
Most (not all, thankfully) of my fellow voting citizens are IGNORANT.
They are so stupid that 90% of the poor (relatively) rural VOTE went for Trump.
A man so far removed from anything resembling an understanding of those folks lives as you can possibly get. YET, they voted for him as IF He was some kind of savior. IGNORANCE.

Others voted for him because of some nonsense idea that HE would fix inflation. Which of course after 4 hard years of work Biden just finally got back under control after TRUMP's mess that dodderin' ol Joe inherited. Of course, Tariffs and deportation will just cause a quick return of inflation as ALL our goods and FOOD costs increase. 3 Buck heads of lettuce anyone??? Yet they voted for a classless misogynist convicted Felon who tells them He'll end inflation. Again. IGNORANCE beyond belief IMO.

Buckle up folks.............. we is likely headed for some rough times...........WAY beyond the chaos and violence we've seen before. Next summer, I predict here and now, our cities streets will be ablaze. I do hope I'm wrong...........but don't bet on me being so. Sadly on matters such as these I've rarely been off in the past.

Your neighbors WILL remain stupid until they have no other choice but to join the throng on the streets themselves.
When the lawless lead, there will be NO LAW.

The pop up ads are gone. I use my phone most of the time but I am assuming it works the same on the computer.

Now there are larger ads placed between posts on forums. Like commercials. They do not interfere at all and I’m sure that they are dramatically better for the advertisers.

On my phone there are little ads sometimes on the bottom of the screen but they do not interrupt posting.

Secretary of Defense

Trump has picked a Fox host whose military experience is being an officer in the national guard.
He is a reactionary extremist whose views come from Fox University.

He will - will - hurt recruitment if he installs his views.
Maybe he could affect morale.

This is the bush league incompetent bizarre weirdo presidential leadership that intellectually honest people were very concerned about.

And wait until he starts giving free reign to the mentally disturbed RFK Jr a man who is so severely mentally and emotionally unfit and so generally delusional that he is the only person in the United States who thinks that the murderer of his father is innocent. The parole board has to tell him no every time he asks for the murderer to be released.

For years he has been estranged from every member of his family including his mother.

BTW - if one person from one prison from the state of 40 million people gets out with no involvement from Harris that is a mortal sin because the parolee commits a serious crime. And the parole board approved the release.
They came up with one person and made it sound like one million.

Please compare that to a person requesting personally and in attendance I believe the parole of the man who shot his father in the head. It is a cause celeb for for that sexual assaulter and murderer of animals who had a worm hole in his brain and if he gets his way will punish the FDA and block vaccines
and if he gets the chance he would kill more people then Trump did during Covid.

Anyone who does not accept the fact that in several ways Trump caused an extra 200,000 American deaths should get their head out of wherever it is and get a grip on reality.

Matt Gaetz picked for attorney general.
The talking heads are going back and forth about confirmation.

2 words - recess appointments

These appointments are even more ridiculous than I would have predicted. We are seeing what true presidential incompetence looks like. The American people owe a huge debt to Joe Biden for bringing an interregnum (word chosen deliberately) to this period of utter leadership failure - and history will demonstrate that conclusively.

Ridiculous and frightening.
I think that incompetence is one side of the coin and the other side is malice.

The I told you so comments have already begun.
The country has already gone down the drain.
It picked an strange and evil man twice.
The base reacts like Pavlov’s dogs not like responsible thoughtful decent patriotic Americans.
The only way that his base will ever oppose him is if he starts a nuclear war. Short of that forget about it.

Ratcliffe and Rubio - Traditional and legitimate

Gaetz - To pick him for AG is the pick by a sociopath ( that is correct sir or madam )

Hegseth - a true MAGA warrior - he will be the devil’s disciple. His high intelligence makes him even scarier. Instead of just doing what he is told he will come up
with his own ways to inflict grievous harm to the military. He will be a new best friend of Putin.

Kristi Noem - picked for Department of Homeland Security - I guess she is a traditional pick but I just can’t get over how she murdered a dog and a goat in the same gravel pit and joyfully disclosed all of the lurid sickening details in a book. She was very proud of what she did.

Ok I get it. The joy fullness of criminal murder and abuse of animals makes her highly qualified in MAGA world for head of DHS. Was she in Springfield Ohio. Maybe she was killing and or eating the dogs and cats of the people that live there.

Elise Stefanik - UN - normal traditional

Hobard - Border Czar - intelligent and will be efficient and brutal. Sadist = Qualified.

Tulsi Gabbard - Department of Intelligence - OMG pick. She is a crazy lady and a conspiracy theorist. Somewhere along the line she got on the same crazy train that Mike Flynn got on.

The chief of staff - normal and traditional

IMO 3 people needing confirmation should not get it.
Watch for the attempt to push them all through a recess appointment nullifying the advise and consent of congress ( a little autocratic ? )

Mr. Hegseth not only lacks requisite experience but he is a very mercurial man.
His mood and disposition fluctuate between crazy and wild maniac crazy. I do not exaggerate. Once as a fox employee he threw an ax ( not a guitar ) in the vicinity of pedestrians plural and came close to killing someone. Later he thanked God that did not happen.

The terms of the settlement against him and Fox were never disclosed.

Not only is he on the crazy train; he is the conductor of the choo choo train.

He is dangerously incompatible for such a serious job of running the Department of Defense.

Only a deranged lunatic could appoint him. They both suffer from Trump Deranged Syndrome.

If you think I’m trying to be funny read about him in an article from Mediaite. Get the link from the Drudge Report. A few things are hopefully satirical comments of his but they not be. Other things discussed show that he is crazy as belonging in the company of people like RFK Jr.
and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Just when you thought the utter incompetence couldn’t possibly get any worse… ladies and gentlemen and non-binary colleagues, your new secretary of HHS: RFK Jr.

Every American who voted for Trump should be hanging their head in shame today… and apologizing.

I actually predicted it either right before or just after the election.
