The media gaslighting continues. On GMA this morning someone said when Trump does his speech Tuesday night it will be a victory lap for all that he done with the cultural issues. STFU.

There were so many ways to prevent this. Not electing him in 2016. Republicans having the balls to convict him in two impeachment trials. Merrick Garland pursuing cases against him sooner. Not electing him in 2024. So to anyone who had the chance to stop him and didn't I would say go to hell but we are already here. Maybe if we are lucky the Allies will come liberate us. I'm not kidding.

Does he want them as a trophy?

Let's see now. Trump has pissed off most of the Middle East with his plans for Gaza. Canada and Mexico. Africa and Australia already hated him and now Europe because if Ukraine isn't protected then they aren't either. And it's only been a month. This is so much worse than we thought it would get.

I hope Zelensky and the Ukrainian people know that millions of Americans are with them as well. All of our American soldiers that fought in WW2 are rolling in their graves right now. It has taken Trump a little over a month to destroy the alliances we have built over the past 80 years. And all it took was for Putin to tell Trump what a good boy he is.

Oh I have words. Embarrassing. Horrifying. Idiocy. Hubris. Extortion. Feel free to add your own. Trump knows. He is playing to his buddy puppet master Putin. I doubt it. The ones that aren't afraid of him agree with him. History is not going to be kind to them. And I hope the midterms aren't either.

He was also rumored to be going to the Steelers. As is Sam Darnold. And Kurt Cousins. And Aaron Rogers.

He is going to alienate us from everyone but Russia. And make no mistake Russia is not our friend. He is such a fucking idiot and anyone who thinks this going to turn out well for anyone but Putin is an idiot too.

They think that in this country too. That it's high school students working minimum wage jobs. Who do they think is doing those jobs when the kids are in school? We also hear if you raise the minimum wage it will force companies out of business. I work for a small business and it's a company that provides a service people need and not everyone can afford it. So if people were making more money they probably would be able to afford it. That's the thing with paying people more money. They put it into the economy. Usually their local economy. And that is good for everyone.

In the winter my electric bills is more than my car payment so I think twice about using my oven. I make beef vegetable soup and there is no way I'm buying stew meat. It's an outrageous price. I do what you do. Buy cheap steak and cut it up myself. It's not just inflation that is the problem. People's wages haven't kept pace with increased prices over the last 30 years.

For a lot of people the assumption is if someone is struggling it's because of something they did. That they are responsible for their own misfortune. How many times do we hear you have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps? Kinda hard to do when you don't have boots. Also when Republicans blame people using the safety net as the reason why our country is in massive debt and has a huge deficit they are doing that to deflect off one of the main reasons things are the way they are. The massive income inequality that exists in this country and it is only getting worse. But they don't want to talk about that because it's their donors that are the driving force behind the income inequality.

Trump was pandering for votes. It was around the time an Alabama court ruled embryos were people and the fear was fertility treatments would stop IVF out of fear of being prosecuted for murder if something happened to an embryo. Trump of course had to exploit the situation. It's true. A coworker and I were just talking the other day about how it's cheaper to go out for a steak dinner than to make it at home.

I live in coal and steel country and I hear it all the time. A lot of people lost their jobs over the past 30 years due to a changing market. And while I did feel bad for them the arrogance a lot of them showed was very off putting. They were offered continuing education to learn something that would enable them to find new employment but a lot of them refused. If I lose my job nobody is going to offer me free education to find another job. I think most people are outraged about federal workers losing their jobs because of how and why it happened and rightly so.
