True, sad, scary, and motivating at the same time [View all]

Ron Filipkowski: We've had presidents who didn't understand economics, foreign affairs, diplomacy, and lacked knowledge of historical lessons. But they were advised by people who did and listened to them. Now we have a president who doesn't understand anything and won't listen to people who do.

How is that motivating you may rightly ask. Well, Filipkowski sums it up : You can't vote out Trump in the midterms, but you can vote out the people who enable him.

And you know what? That's just as important. Because the enablers are where he gets all of his power. He's nothing without them. His enablers could have prevented this war, checked him on tariffs, and not passed his big ugly bill to name a few.
