After watching this interview, here are my takeaways: 1. Accountability: There is an almost complete lack of responsibility for what happened in the midterms. MAGA and 2028. Abandoning the strong policies that hold what remains of MAGA together will only deepen dissatisfaction with its own leadership. I believe this could have catastrophic consequences in the 2028 elections. 2.Epstein Files. I cannot stress enough how much this broken promise has damaged public confidence in the Adm. Allegations concerning Russia and Israel’s access to Epstein-related information raise serious questions about potential political leverage. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump eventually issued pardons left and right, just as Biden did. 3.Economy. The numbers are far from impressive. Even if we assume Trump meant that the economy is performing better than it did under Biden (which may be true in some areas) that doesn’t erase the impact of inflation on ordinary Americans. 4. Homeland Security. Securing the border? YES. I consider that a major achievement of this administration. But leaving the job half-finished is like building castles on sand. A future Democratic adm. could reverse these policies, potentially producing an even more dramatic shift in immigration enforcement. 5. DOGE. Burying @elonmusk’s DOGE project was a major mistake (on purpose?). Government efficiency, waste reduction, and accountability were supposed to be central priorities. Abandoning that effort sends a terrible message about the administration’s willingness to confront the federal bureaucracy. 6. Ukraine and Europe: I supported ending U.S. funding for Ukraine and what I consider an increasingly unaccountable European Union. But reversing course creates another problem: Zelensky may now see the 2028 elections as a reason to wait for a change in American policy, much as Putin had reasons to watch the outcome of the 2024 election. In my view, that uncertainty weakens the prospects for a lasting settlement. Last but not least, when Trump says Democrats are willing to work with him, yes, they are—but only on their own non-negotiable terms. So we’re facing either two years of political paralysis or a disaster enabled by the president himself.

The moment you agree to participate in elections controlled by fraudsters, you have already accepted the fraud as a legitimate outcome. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Check @Ilhan’s congressional performance on @AfdesOrg In fact, check YOUR representative’s congressional performance, too. afdes.org/congressional-perf…

How do we measure congressional performance? The @AfdesOrg Congressional Performance Observatory uses a nonpartisan, evidence-based methodology grounded in official congressional records. We track legislation from introduction through advancement and enactment, measuring the Legislative Conversion Rate: the percentage of eligible sponsored legislation that becomes law. Cosponsorship is reported separately. Political affiliation does not influence the calculation, and independently verified public outcomes are assessed separately. Our objective is simple: replace political rhetoric with measurable, verifiable evidence. Explore the Observatory and its methodology: afdes.org/congressional-perf…

The war in Ukraine became the justification for sanctions that helped displace Russia from a major share of Europe’s energy market. Sanctions like these do not simply appear out of nowhere—they require a political and geopolitical trigger, and the war provided one. Take a look at Europe’s new LNG suppliers and energy “partners,” and you may get a clearer picture of who has benefited economically from keeping this conflict going. Profit, not nationalism alone, may be one of the most powerful forces behind it. Profit is a major driver—not simply nationalism. Ask Warren Buffett… 😉

Personally, verifying identity at the ballot box is a logical safeguard and an important step toward rebuilding trust amid the legitimacy crisis and political polarization eroding confidence in our institutions. I guess the only real obstacle could be the precedent created by the majority needed to pass such a nationwide law, and how that power might be used by either party in the future. But I guess the question is: how much should that concern outweigh the need for election integrity and long-term political stability??

To prevent civil war, a Gov. must protect legitimate institutions, uphold the rule of law, guarantee fair and transparent elections (one of the bigger source of political legitimacy ), reduce political exclusion, address serious economic & regional grievances, protect minority rights, FIGHT CORRUPTION (this is a big one), prevent political violence, maintain professional and politically neutral security forces, and preserve peaceful channels for dialogue and opposition. The main goal is simple: citizens have to believe disputes can be resolved through institutions rather than violence.
