We are in some strange times in the USA.

We can finger point to either left or right ,Rs or Ds, but it comes down all of us trying to put our ”point of view”  laid out and no listening or talking.  We are talking now, we are paying more for the things we need and have to buy to exist.  QUESTION asked in 2020 and 2024 “Are you winning yet?” Well if you say YES , you are either Trumps child, finance partner or a tech company as  they are the only ones that have made money, Elon Musk is a trillionaire, and we did that ! Trump has became a billionaire this year or should I say Windfall#2, he learned what not to do after the first go-round and had all of the lackies put in Administration so we would have no way to question , ask or put him in his place .

A majority of the voters in 2016 thought Trump was the ‘Messiah”, he would deliver us from high prices, give more money to our bank accounts and we will be in the red in 2 years.  Hello COVID!

They put the increase of goods, decrease of health care and still having a President that wanted us to use bleach in our bodies , hope it will go away and piddle around for 2 years giving us no answers and no progress in vaccine.  Let’s not forget the numerous misleading or false claims by Trump and his merry men, approximately 16,000 by FORBES count.

The epidemic was a disaster and needless people died, mental health became another increasing problem with adults and especially young adults and adolescents. The Pandemic Plan for the US developed by the former administration was shelved and not used , honestly, because they were selfish uneducated people put in the CDC, Surgeon General’s office and HHS, THANK YOU Trump Administration.

Moving on to Trump 2024; we really got the shaft with the MAGA 2.0 , the supposed assassination attempts and the outright lies.  A war was started by Trump Administration, for no apparent solid verifiable reason, to keep US from seeing the money trail from Trump grifters or family , the businesses that are making money 10 fold, the foreign countries that are making money off our misfortune of having the tech companies , industrial companies and a FCC, IRS and a little department called DOGE.   The tariffs also added to our inflation and increase of supplies and basic necessities called food.  

YET….just like before the majority of voters think The Trump Administration knows this is temporary and we can survive, “Whats”s 4 dollars a gallon of gas”?   We will have the war over in 1-2 weeks , we have to suffer a little per Trump.

I now see the Trump Administration has used the US for the upfront money and collateral for the grifting, all the while doing it in the open and no hiding.   We are in bed with Moscow, we have done everything Netanyahew wanted for his war and we have alienated all of our alliances, making our friendship and help useless.   No country would put us out if we were on fire at this point.  Trump has even wanted to TAKE over Greenland and CUBA.   Who is going to stop him?

Republicans are fearful to go against Trump Administration due to the fact the IRS, DOJ and attorneys general office are in his pocket.  The people voted in to make it better for us has came to a halt if you are a republican, you either get along or you quit , then you can say the truth.  

I hope and pray we make new choices this midterm election!

BTW, term limits would be so helpful for Supreme Court , Senate and House of Representatives.  They are not above the law either but it will take everyone to keep a Republic,  THANK YOU Benjamin Franklin!!!
