    Hi Nigel, That was how Reagan did it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Re: how the military may be reluctant to disobey illegal orders Hegseth [ Trump ] is replacing generals right & left. I am very sure the new people will not consider those to be illegal orders. Ever hear someone say, 'I have thoroughly reviewed that document,' when you know they have only read the first three pages? Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: Maybe “Checks and Balances” is the new “Thoughts and Prayers” Welcome to the World of Trump 2.0.

    Hi Joe, You mean the Munich Betrayal: Munich Agreement - Wikipedia I was just thinking about that the other day. Always easy to give away what the other guy has. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Happy voters? Many of the attendees expressed frustration and anger with President Donald Trump U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick held a town hall Thursday. Constituents gave him an earful | Georgia Public Broadcasting Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, More satisfied voters? Daniel Jepsen is normally too busy to keep up with politics, but even he’s paying attention now. Oregon wheat farmers brace for boomerang effects of Trump’s international aid program freeze - oregonlive.com Eastern Oregon is Trump country. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, IMO not really, when you consider that every 6 Jun the French celebrate the D-Day landings. Some of them may deny the holocaust, but they know who liberated them. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, I agree 100%. The Dems have the elections in in their pockets in 2026 & 2028. They just need to find an agenda & a candidate that people like you & I will support. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi dogyks, Like this idiot: Controversial ex-judge from Oregon appointed to Trump administration - oregonlive.com 'Local Republican groups, including the Oregon Conservative Caucus, lauded the appointment.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi dogyks, For many yrs, I have believed that we should reduce the size of the fed gov't. Disclaimer: I spent 30 yrs for the fed gov't & am now a fed retiree. However, IMO a proper reduction [ subjective? - of course ] requires a scalpel and not a sledge hammer. And, yes: Trump is batshit crazy. I do not believe that down deep Trump really cares; remember, his first attempt at the presidency was as a Democrat. His true desire is just to himself in the news; the center of attention.

    Hi folks, Looks like they eat their own: “the DOGE push to downsize government employees will hit the coalition that elected Trump.” Republicans worry Trump’s firings of federal workers will hit red states hard - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, And, most Americans just do not care until it effects them personally. * It is all well and good until it is your ox that is getting gored. Jerry Baumchen * Rather like many of the Jews in Germany during the 30's.

    Hi folks, Say what you will about Trump but I doubt that he is this dumb: Sarah Palin would 'love' to join Trump administration And, if you have not watched it, I do recommend: Game Change (film) - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Some repercussions: Tesla showrooms are being hit by a wave of anti-DOGE protests - Fast Company And this: Sheryl Crow sells Tesla in bid to save NPR Jerry Baumchen PS) Looks like the DOGE thingy is not working as planned: Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them

    Hi folks, It will be interesting to see how the non-MAGA Republicans react to this: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law” Donald Trump Admits He Thinks He Can Break Any Law He Wants Now, where have I heard that before: "...but when the President does it, that means it is not illegal..." Nixon says, "...but when the President does it, that means it is not illegal..." Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, Re: Your nation is so controlled by people who don't want to pay their share It has always been this way. Today, it just worse. As I continue to say: It is all well & good until it is your ox that is getting gored. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Re: Only because you have not been in the muck to see the atrocities that man can do - to women. I've never a black person lynched. That does not mean that I cannot stand against it. There is lot more to the world than what you or I have seen. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, I have known Joe for many, many yrs; that is simply not true. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, As I said back in 2015, 'Most Americans do not know what is hiding under the rocks.' We are starting to learn. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rich, Re: It's raining like cats and dogs in SoCal right now I've worked in LA when it was doing that. Most folks don't think it could; they only think of the sun & Disneyland. Re: Trump’s tariffs threaten to “blow a hole” in the U.S. auto manufacturing industry Ford CEO warns Trump tariffs threaten to ‘blow a hole’ in US auto industry I wonder how many of those auto workers still are glad that they voted for Trump.

    Hi folks, Re: The means and the methods actually matter, and the rule of law matters Murkowski says Congress needs to assert its authority, to limit Trump While, right now, it is just her; it is a start. We can only hope others join her. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Re: US democracy is much more fragile than anyone previously thought and the fact Republicans are openly saying they don’t need to follow the law I agree with you. Just how fragile has never been really tested; the closest IMO is when FDR tried to pack the Supreme Court & the courts shot him down. Also: How long? - Speakers Corner - Skydiveforum.com I am not a Mitch McConnell fan. But, one thing about Mitch, he knows the worm will turn once the other guys are in office. Let's let Trump have his fun for awhile; until those tariffs cause prices in Mrs. America's pocketbook and Mr. America loses his job. And this: Aren't You Glad You Voted For Trump - Speakers Corner - Skydiveforum.com As always: We live in interesting times. Jerry Baumchen PS) I can still remember how many, many Americans thought Joe McCarthy was right.

    Hi Joe, I could not agree more. I keep saying, 'Shades of the Third Reich.' Once Hitler had the judges in his pocket, it was all over. Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: an all powerful executive They want more than that; they want a total dictator.
