I can't take credit for this, but I did mention that writing to our Senators is what makes a difference. I live in Indiana. I wrote to Todd Young (R). Todd Young is only 1 of 4 Republicans to vote to curtail Trump's actions in Venezuela. Write your Senators. Write your representatives...

edited for me to get more information. It's almost like it was a really f*cking stupid idea to let para-military forces loose in large population centers in the country. Unless, of course, this was what some people wanted all along.

My brother - there are masked agents in the streets. Not police. Not national guard. Masked federal officers. They are in courtrooms, they are in schools. This entire division of the US government didn't exist two years ago in its current form. You know that - you were here. What would...

No, and that's the other problem that I would also like counter-opinions on. Law enforcement is unmasked in this country until very recently. It creates accountability and reduces tensions on a person to person level. ICE is nameless and faceless. While that is 'super cool' when fighting...

Greenland - Just the official quote from the White House: "The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief's disposal,". I'm not sure how else to...

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters" - Trump. And he's right. @Rob B. , apologies for only listing you, but I don't know any other supporters by name. What would it take? Trumps recent posts on him personally controlling 30-50M...

Was eventually going to happen on camera. Surprised it took this long. 'Fun' part no one else is talking about but should be front and center: police and military have trainings for live-fire situations. There's protocols, things you do and don't do. None of it, and mean none of it, was...

The only way things are going to change is if you start writing to the Oklahoma Senators and Representatives. I'm in Indiana now and dropped a few lines. If they don't hear from the people they will think it's all ok. Pressure them. Don't just fly off the handle, let them know specifically...

And to extend it even further, the pastor is making an argument that you must obey the laws of the land to receive communion: I would be curious to hear his thoughts on Jesus extending salvation to the other criminal on the cross next to him. I mean, clearly, Jesus shouldn't have done this as...

Every time a church leader brings sexual sins or LGBTQ, you can be sure it's because they, personally, are dealing with their own feelings. 100% of the time. You know why? Because straight people don't spend a lot of time thinking about LGBTQ. You know who does spend a lot of time thinking...

No sh*t Sherlock (to the post title, not to you @Polds4OSU ). Was a lifelong Republican before Trump. Now I don't have a party.

Exactly my thoughts. Like...what are we even doing here? There's no tactical advantage to this. Sure they have more oil than us, but we have lots, too. We're a net exporter. I don't understand the endgame.

God, stop making me defend him. Huff Post has this exact quote cutoff and it's disgusting to mis-represent him. He's already garbage. He's already horrible and everyone is already up in arms about everything. HE DIDNT SAY HE COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT BRINGING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER, HE SAID...

Ugh... i say it every time: I hate Trump. Didn't vote for him, actively donated against him and other republicans in local elections. But this is 100000% on Biden. Through March numbers? Trump had been in for two months and we were already seeing the negative trend from 2023 and 2024...
