Trump says it’s not possible to pay for Medicare, Medicaid, and day care. “We are fighting a war”.

It’s like he can’t let the good side out. He wants to conquer Cuba, Iran, and Greenland, but wants to hurt the American people in order to do so. Only the nazis are going to stand with trump now.

That's why they voted for him. To hurt people, whether it's people in other countries, or their own countrymen.

The U.S. needs to explore a two-capital solution, like the Roman Empire in its later years. The South can have their Trump dynasty, the rest of us can move on with our lives.

I can’t get behind this at all. A two capital solution would be a horrible solution for a clown that is on his way out anyway, long term solution to a short term problem. Also, they voted for him bc of his wealth, success, and charisma. Politics is boring stuff and Trump made it come alive. I guess that’s enough for most Americans, sadly.

The two capital solution came due to geography and distances not being as easily travelled as they do today. There simply is no reason for a second capital. What you're suggesting is more of a split like during the civil war (which technically wasn't a civil war btw because the Confederate States were a separate entity from the United States) than just 2 capitals.

And I feel like the civil war scenario will also repeat one day, though who starts it when and why is still in the air.



Iran says that several enemy aircraft were downed during pilot rescue mission

Good job trump, money spent and lives lost for your harmful venture



Trump was rumored to have visited some military hospital. Hopefully this was from a stroke bad enough to make even trump want to give up being the potus.

Geography will never not matter, especially in a country as large as the United States.

I live in the western U.S. Here, Washington DC is seen as indifferent to our concerns and quite distant, compared to the East Coast and even the South. The only time the federal government cares about my state is when presidential candidates are campaigning, since we are one of the most closely divided of the swing states, and even then, Trump pretty much confines himself to the resorts in Scottsdale. There was the big Trump rally, I mean, Charlie Kirk funeral, in Glendale, but two hours after it was over, the Glendale entertainment district was an absolute ghost town. Other than that, we're largely ignored. Even as a swing state, we are not as attractive of a prize as, say, Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Georgia. 

The same dynamic plays out in Canada as well, as seen in the current Alberta separatist movement and the old "Let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark!" slogan that was common in the days of the National Energy Policy.

Trump is not the disease, he's a symptom. A late-stage symptom, at that.

A symptom of what? Something bigger? Or should be referred to as a giant tumor? 

anyway, using your analogy, he’ll be unable to serve within a year, and until then we will have to deal with the erratic and impulsive behavior that he has shown.

JD Vance is pisssing away the last of America’s political capital as he caught a flight to Hungary in order to help Orban’s election

Needs to be impeached immediately. This whole Iran thing is out of control. If he bombs them hardcore, especially civilian infrastructure, Iran will close the Strait. Plus, the US is running towards being an enemy of the UN. My god, if the US continues this trend and ever slips up on the world stage, the entire world will get revenge. Not having friends is a level of stupidity that is devoid of strategy and logic.  Iran is the first act of Trump that suprises me, the other stuff was predictable.  But this, this is just absurd.  I cannot believe the GoP is going along with it.

I’m sure that Vance and the cabinet are thinking about it, they just aren’t fed up enough yet
