We still haven't recovered from Reagan
I'd say most of US politics is still trying to drive us further down the ludicrous path Reagan charted
Everything wrong in this country is a game of 6 degrees from Ronald Reagan.
What if it something else... Worse... Like what if America never really was what it was marketed to us to be.
It wasn't. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to make it be the best version of itself it could be, and fight tooth and nail against attempts to make it worse.
Many people have died since January 2025 that would be alive if Kamala had won. There is no undoing that. I don't think we have any state sponsored necromancers.
Not for the poors anyway
No, but McConnell is currently hanging on through black magic and a heart bypass machine.
(I assume. I'd bet money he is only alive on a technicality.)
It’s not just one man. Congress could stop him at any time if they wanted. One party wants this.
One party wants this, but if we're talking about Congress there's a whole lot of people in the other party that don't want to stop this.
If Trump can become emperor that will, in some sense, be at least a partial recovery of the Roman Empire. To such extent, the country may, some day, recover.
I doubt it
I wonder if the country will ever recover from the damages this man has caused
...so far.
Something tells me we should trust the Smithsonians leadership.
The bar is so low that a confessed pedophile who registers as a small sex offender and seeks help is MORE trustworthy than this president.
I was watching a video about the Chumash Indians, how they were moved to and congregated around the missions of Southern California (to save their souls) where they got European diseases and died. I've visited several of those missions multiple times, those stories are not advertised. It seems the concept of hiding our truths has a deep and storied history, just like in this Smithsonian story. Meanwhile, one of the oldest works of fiction on the planet, the Holy Bible, cannot be touched by the US government by First Amendment mandate.
He probably wants to take it over and call it "The Trump Institute".
The Donald Trump Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too
That would be his presidential library...
maybe he'll just put "THE DONALD TRUMP AND" above the sign like last time.
He has one spare, indeed.
The current Secretary of the Smithsonian is a Black guy who was just featured on Meet the Press. I'm sure that's a coincidence.
Yeah let’s all listen to the deeply corrupt and incompetent demented rapist
Headline should read: "Pathological Liar, trump, says someone else is not trustworthy"
‘cannot be trusted’
To sufficiently stroke Trump's fragile ego and compensate for his small hands, I think is what they meant.
He's big mad about his poor State of a Fair.
