As usual, Jennifer Rubin gets it.
that ๐... that is the major reason why I'm leaving the US. The other is to be able to afford to live a better quality of life than I will be able to have when the tariffs & inflationary economic policies begin.
President Mieli, Trumps imitator, took office in 2022 pledging to bring down prices. Inflation has skyrocketed from 78% to 133.5%
I suggest that everyone who reads this begin
a personal austerity program for when inflation begins to rise mid 2025.
But hereโs what should really trouble us all. Itโs not that Donald Trump trampled on the values weโve lived by our entire lives. We donโt expect any better from him. Whatโs shocking is that over half the American people said they donโt care.
They donโt care if Trump is a lying, lawless, crude, obscene, serial adulterer and convicted felon who tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Theyโre willing to forget all about that becauseโฆWhy? They think heโll lower the cost of a dozen eggs?
Democrats arenโt the only ones who need soul-searching
The problem is much bigger than that. Itโs important for the American people to do some soul-searching about whatโs wrong with us. Itโs especially important to ask: What happened to our sense of values? Like me, you were probably instilled by your parents with a basic sense of whatโs right and wrong, a set of values that was far more important than what political party we might someday belong to.

โHowever, "low-level waste" is a deceiving term because according to the nuclear industry about 85% of the waste also comes from nuclear facilities. The waste may encompass reactor core control rods, resins, sludges, and piping that may include hazardous elements such as plutonium, iodine-129, nicle-59, and strontium-90. These radioactive isotopes would be hazardous for thousands, even millions of years.โ

Sanders is duplicitousโso much so he was willing to sell out poor Hispanics to put a nuclear waste dump in Texas. To argue he feels the pain of the working class pisses me off.
Whatโs more galling? He said it was just โmedical wasteโ as if that was better.

I will not look or get myself back into tachycardia. Iโve given all I had since 2016.
I will not let the battle continue to destroy my health.
We will live with the outcome of 100M not voting.
@catlynne333 @TheresaVermont Remember this is exactly the same playbook they used in 2016.
@nonayadambidnes @ShaneArtBooks @KittsMotto You made the point that I was going to add, thatb it's not just men that feel that way, leery for a woman as president. Jealousy or cultural brainwashing?

I had my first irl experience of "I think everything is going to be just fine and like with Covid everything is just being over hyped" I'm pretty sure my face said it all because then out came"he didn't do any of these things the first time , why would he now"? I pointed out none are left but kiss assets and that Covid killed millions of people being a worldwide pandemic and all she thinks it was big pharma and had no real answer for and the plague and diseases from history?

so i am going to unequivocally apologize for getting my #s wrong about harris' support. apparently, she got almost 72 mill votes (to biden's 80 mill in 2020). so only 8 mill didn't show up for her, not the ~15 mill i originally lambasted voters for.
i still think the 8 mill didn't vote for harris b/c racism/misogyny/ apathy.
i still think she ran an outstanding campaign that actually had the asshole frustrated & angry.
but the cult of maga were always going to vote for him no matter what.
