Ben. This is great stuff. I’m not sure if I agree with your politics (yet) but I love hearing your thinking. And you’re right. He’s at risk of people souring and suffering the same fate as Biden if he doesn’t watch it!

It's got a long way to go before we see change, but even since I wrote this piece it feels that the narrative has begun shifting just a bit. Any way you cut it, Trump is impressively unpopular for someone who just entered office. Hopefully the trend continues. Thanks so much for listening, Baz!

Also, apologies, Vince. I’m just noticing I called you by your last name. I’m mildly dyslexic sometimes 😂

This is why they really wanted to ban Tik Tok. Information. They had no control over it. Now with the government working to own 50%, a new app needs to come forward. That's how I found Blue Sky and Substack.

CONSTITUTIONAL GUARDRAILS HOLDING

Something to celebrate! Our Constitutionally Republic is still working and the balance of power within our government holds!

EXCERPT FROM THE HILL

“The Executive’s categorical freeze of appropriated and obligated funds fundamentally undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government,” wrote McConnell, an appointee of former President Obama.”

Thank you for your post. It came to mind what previously occurred as a threat the U.S. democracy. The Joseph McCarthy years. McCarthy was a huge threat to U.S. democracy.

I was a child but I remember this threat to democracy.

Angry does not even begin to describe my emotions. I am disgusted with this country. I am disgusted with the American people who follow Trump. I am disgusted of Republicans. I’m disgusted that this continues to be loud. I am disgusted and disgraced by the United States of America and we have all of you TRUMP CULT AHOLES TO BLAME!!!

I'll be happy when indoctrinated idiots stop talking about dumbocracy so we can get back to our Constitutional Republic.
