I want to first say, that I do cover national politics on occasion, but my passion is local politics, and this post will be about both, in unison.
I also want to politely say if I post something local, don’t put in comments about national government. We know the current administration is corrupt, not sure how we can beat that dead horse? I want to talk local. There is more corruption here then we know what to do with, and we can make a difference. In Washington, not so much.
So I took a wonderful trip to Wyoming this past holiday weekend. It was unique, and much fun. In fact, what made the trip fun was the fact the peeps in a town of 2K know how to roll out the red carpet, that is stained, worn out and broken. On the twelve hour journey to and back all I saw was poor worn out people who have just given up the fight. It was really sad, and at one point in my hotel room, I cried for these folks. I grew up poor, or at least what I was told, it is not fun, and can make you resist and do stupid things.
I am seeing a different America, a country controlled by those with money, while driving these folks into the ground. It infuriates me! Why is it that people who are broken financially and emotionally still get up in the morning for the grind?! Because they have no other choice. Nothing.
For a long time I was baffled why anybody sane would vote for Trump, but it was abundantly clear after this weekend why they voted for him, they are broken, worn out and poor, and they looked at this populist fake as their savior.
In government, you can only save yourself.
How in the world did Alexandra Hartzler at the city get a $10k pay increase in 1 year, seems absurd
I will give you the short answer; CORRUPTION. Poops is like DJT, loyalty, and as long as you give it, you get what you want. The irony is that if taxpayers threw their paychecks into a dumpster fire, we would still have the same results, heck, maybe even better.

Musk/Trump is an assault on democracy. It’s certainly true there’s a budget and debt crisis. There should be cuts but not abolishment for the CDC, VA, Social Security, USaid, Forest Service, etc.. it’s time for reaction and protest. There’s undercurrent suggesting not paying federal income tax. Could work. One of the cuts is IRS. If only a third of citizens withhold taxes and claim false exemptions, Trump policy goes bankrupt. Democracy works only with patriots and partnership.
Musk smells in more ways than one.
Plus, I’ve never cared for muskmelon, and I definitely don’t wear Musk, so why would I want DOGE?
Noem shot her dog while Trump gave us DOGE…. Boy, what a couple of douches, huh?…. AND, now it smells like some Musk around here…… Dusk is the end of the day, and Musk is the end of time as we know it. But hopefully, however, a new dawn is coming, but until then, protect your dog, douche the fascists, and spray away that mus(k)ty smell. #DontForgetTheGoat!

Those who voted for Trump are direct descendants of those in the 19th Century who bought the snake oil.
A president who calls Zelensky a “Dictator” and who blames Ukraine for the war is also a president who is coming for your Social Security and your Medicare.
Zelensky banned the Ukraine Orthodox Church, combined TV stations, out lawed all political opposition and canceled elections. How can anyone not call him a dictator?

Actually, with the acquiescence of his prime opponent, Zelensky has suspended elections until after the war. He also did not ban the Ukraine Orthodox Church, rather, with the help of the Ukrainian national legislature, he banned the Russian Orthodox Church because of its ties to the Kremlin. AND, he combined mulitiple
TV stations into one because they have been attacked by Russia. Have you ever read our Constitution? It gives our president enormous power during a time of true national emergency as well. Russia attacked Ukraine and Zelensky is no more a dictator than Lincoln was for suspending habeas corpus during the Civil War. Shxt happens when you are attacked. Have you ever come upon a crime scene or a terrible accident? If so, have you ever noticed how authorities rope off that area until further notice, or are you one of those fools who just walks or drives through one of those areas?
Trump wants to be a dictator. He even said it. AND, we haven’t even been attacked yet.
#GulfOfMexico
He is a dictator. Just like Hitler, Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Obama, whoever was pulling Biden’s puppet strings, etc, etc.
Gulf of America it is.
