I hate him so much, and I hate everything he's doing. Destroying our beautiful protected land though - I just want to scream. Who does he think he is? I'll bet he's never taken a hike in any of these places he's destroying. He's rotten to the core and he's smashing everything on his way to hell.
Kathy, hey, Satan would win because Trump never thinks things through, just reacts. All Satan has to do is whisper something in Trump's ear and he'll do whatever the whisper demands, just like now. Trump is being worked by his own ignorance, but by whatever Miller, Vought, Vance, and a few others "whisper in his ear."
I am right there with you. republicans could have and should have stopped this long ago, however lining their pockets with more and more money and their continuing source of power and control have overloaded what brain cells they possessed until all they do now is simply ignore his complete destruction of our country. We will never recover from what he has done and will do as long as he remains in control. He must be removed.
Americans have been taught to believe that their financial problems are caused by other ordinary Americans:
Republicans blame Democrats.
Democrats blame Republicans.
Workers blame immigrants.
The middle class blames the poor.
Rural communities blame cities, and cities blame rural America.
But while we have been fighting one another, something much larger has been happening.
The country has become deeply indebted. Workers have become more productive. Corporations have become more valuable. Yet an extraordinary share of the resulting wealth has accumulated at the very top.
The problem is not that every wealthy person is evil, nor that every political disagreement is manufactured. The problem is that concentrated wealth can purchase political access, lobbying, advertising, media influence and the power to shape the choices placed before voters.
The people financing the conflict do not need everyone to agree with them. They need us to remain angry at one another long enough that we fail to notice who is gaining wealth and power.
Our neighbors did not set our wages.
Our neighbors did not write the tax code.
Our neighbors did not eliminate competition.
Our neighbors did not decide who would receive subsidies, contracts or favorable treatment.
Our neighbors did not create a system in which wealth can buy political influence.
Ordinary Republicans and ordinary Democrats may disagree about many things. But neither group benefits when government increasingly serves concentrated wealth rather than the public.
The real divide is not simply left against right.
It is increasingly those who must live under the rules against those wealthy enough to shape the rules.
Bears Ears is the most sacred place I have ever been. It is beyond beautiful. It is majestic, awe-inspiring, and very, very quiet. The stars are so bright they keep you awake in your tent! Your uncle is the king of doom and destruction. He and his subjects leap from one destructive act to the next without taking a breath. They should be forever known as The Destroyers. They are also keenly stupid to kill the golden goose and destroy a once great democracy.
Idiot couldn’t even accomplish regime change. US$1 billion a day for absolutely nothing. Iran may have always been some threat to Israel, but never to us! Guess what? NOW they are. Good going, Donny.
While I'm Canadian, for some reason, maybe because I have an ActBlue account, I get several emails a day from the "Democratic" Party. A few of them have asked, "What would be your one word description for Pres. Donald Trump?" For me the answer was easy: "Garbage".
...and we’re controlling the straits." Straits? Is he trying to control Gibraltar now? The Bering Strait? Maybe he's talking about the English Channel. The only strait I would like to see him involved with is the Strait of Jacket.
Thank you for the article, Mary. Trump started this war. He was supposed to end it in a diplomatic way. Instead taxpayers money is being spent as are weapons, which the supply is running out. Tell me something, Mary are the soldiers suppose to start fighting like cave men? Each and every single day there is one lie after another on scam after another like charging ships 20 percent while leaving the strait of Hormuz.

He can't land in hell soon enough. What I can't fathom is when that happens, is it a house of cards that collapses or does it stand and get worse?
I’ve heard from a reliable source that the Devil doesn’t want the competition.
And what is he doing to the N side of the White House? Are you ready for gold pillars, maybe some ivy growing on them.
It seems that the devil does not want him.
Satan would fear he’d fight him to control Hell.

If Trump could con a majority of the voters, he *might* be able to con the devil -- but I do believe the devil is smarter than 77 million U.S. voters.

True, we have to take the hate and exercise our rights to vote and act as better citizens than this fool and his maladministration.
Let me as you a fairly simple question, who benefits most from the following consistently repeated legislative actions that:
lowers taxes on wealth and investment more than on salaries;
cuts to public benefits while protecting advantages for business owners;
weakens workers’ ability to bargain collectively;
allows unlimited political spending by corporations and wealthy interests;
reduces enforcement against monopolies, financial abuse, pollution, wage theft, or unsafe products;
permits industries to regulate themselves or places industry insiders in charge of their regulators;
privatizes public services so taxpayers carry the risk while private investors receive the profit;
runs up public debt to finance tax advantages whose largest benefits flow upward.
Removing protections for Federal parks and reserves for expanded drilling, mining, grazing, and commercial development.
The answer to these questions are deserving of serious consideration because your life and wellbeing depend on it

The Destroyers doesn’t begin to cover it 😱 🤮🤬💔
It’s always been horrifying to watch someone in that Office who has no idea what he’s talking about.
I’m definitely horrified. No joke.

As an American, I agree. I knew what Trump was, and detested him more and more throughout his first campaign. My detestation of him won’t end.
...and we’re controlling the straits." Straits? Is he trying to control Gibraltar now? The Bering Strait? Maybe he's talking about the English Channel. The only strait I would like to see him involved with is the Strait of Jacket.
True, that is the only strait he needs!
His never admitting he's wrong, while he's constantly doing wrong, is very exhausting and crazy.
Thank you Mary!
Thank you, Mary, for everything you do to keep us informed and tell us how it is at the moment. You da best.
Confabulation with delusions of grandeur, Trump is living in his demented mind.
Mary?! what about the shady people who want to bring the IDF into our military!?!
Mary you just can't keep up to this AH. No more toll on the strait. lol
This his way of proving he's more powerful than Teddy Roosevelt?
And americans voted him in for a second time….will never forgive anyone who voted for him
