RAG Perspective: An American Pro-Liberty Conservative
A minimalist approach to essential, transparent, accountable, flat, adaptable, responsive, solution-based government, rooted in virtuous individual autonomy, traditional values and free markets, with a bias towards reduction of government functionality, cost and scope
Classified information is descriptive of potential harm to US security. That harm is not subjective in nature and cannot ex post facto be defined away by a criminal ex-POTUS seeking to rationalize the theft of insecurely stored national secrets.
Hassett0 is in denial of the law of supply and demand, decades-low livestock numbers and the long process to rebuild herds. Yes, some supermarkets sometimes will put beef on loss leader sale, like over Labor Day, but those are exceptions. Ground pork or chicken is cheaper. pic.twitter.com/GaW31hf7LM
Trump's Secretary of Evil is raising unrealistic hopes for Dems in the midterms. There will be enough Trumpkin Senators to bail out a Trump impeachment trial, short of some compelling new charge. pic.twitter.com/f8yJDxJfz2
This is Soft Rock America. Merrilee Rush's classic song takes on a different twist in Trump's warped perception of his adulterous affairs:https://t.co/BqcW2K5QsWhttps://t.co/kJ4Fp8TJEV
Trump is trying to gaslight citizens on his transparent unconstitutional attempts to violate the First Amendment. Trump has no authority to filter news coverage; it's an impeachable crime. https://t.co/x6dVcK12xS
Unacceptable religious discrimination, not unlike that against Catholic politicians based on alleged allegiance to the Papacy. There are and have been Muslim Congressmen without security incidents. https://t.co/ZO4vL6mIEzpic.twitter.com/WA8GjXCibv
I don't know or care about unproven rumors about Trump's sexual conduct related to Epstein. What bothers me is that Trump knew he was a snake but didn't care until Epstein tried to poach his contacts. It's like the legend of the boy and the rattlesnake.
I'm the last to give Dems advice on the midterms, but their best and really only argument is that they will not aid and abet Trump or his agenda. Recall that Biden didn't roll back Trump's disastrous tariffs; he thought he could "improve" on them. They gave Trump the power.
It's absurd hearing Trump's legal whores use the predictable national defense wildcard as a rationale to censor the press. Imagine the audacity of a POTUS who leaked secrets to Russia and stole over 300 classified documents, and a defense secretary using unsecured channels.
Trump has undermined the US standing in the world with his failed foreign policies, unprovoked wars, trade wars, and attacks on our allies. https://t.co/Mm3Npsj4A8
Via GML: nearly 10 other nations have a nuclear bomb, and we haven't started a war with them. Keep in mind Trump knew about the Strait of Hormuz when he started his unconstitutional war. I guarantee few voters would be with Trump on that votehttps://t.co/6La1qHsSoQ
I'm used to X/Twitter flooding my feed with stupid partisan memes. But what makes it even more boring and annoying is that they keep recycling the same stupid memes. I don't like repeating my clever responses.
Not a surprise the court found Trump's WH ban for news organizations unlawful. Personally, I wish the court required all Trump lawyers to take a refresher course in constitutional law.
The incident where Trump couldn't find Rubio, seated to his right, reminds me of the times, as a teen, when I looked for my glasses at home while they were sitting on top of my head.
I just mailed off my midterm ballot. Given the party duopoly, I didn't have any listed LP candidates to choose. The only independent candidates were fringe leftists. So I mostly had to pinch my nose, choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea.
As if Trump wasn't already economically illiterate, he's seriously thinking of replicating Putin's policy of banning diesel exports. Trump naively thinks he can manipulate diesel prices downward. At most, only in the short term. It disincentivizes us from producing US oil. pic.twitter.com/UKe0Q9qcAV
Congresswoman Mace is trying to ban HFCS. Personally, I avoid HFCS products, but I think the scientific basis for a ban is weak, and I dislike the paternalism behind it. pic.twitter.com/hupz1KOFYc
I'm amused by the Aldi fanatics on YouTube. One recently claimed that Aldi introduced the Thanksgiving bundle concept. Nope. pic.twitter.com/DXXHOp05es
The Trumpkins who participated in Trump's hostile takeover of the Kennedy Center deferred repairs and now are using those same repairs to rationalize shuttering the center since the narcissist bastard Trump is extorting to tack his own name on the complex. pic.twitter.com/pZjDpTrnsw
Trump is cutting spending on priorities he doesn't like without the necessary Congressional approval. While I would normally take almost any spending cuts from the Spendthrift-in-Chief, he has to enforce laws, not make his own rules.https://t.co/t6jx8ucuTW
I'm not going to excuse any other political whore who violated the same laws we contractors had to comply under risk of prosecution. I don't know the nature and extent of Biden's alleged stolen documents, but note that there is a time element to secrecy & most assume 25 years.

Well, Hegseth clearly violated security standards in communicating operational data over insecure channels anf his advice on Iran has been incompetent, but hat are the criminal charges?
No. Trump is probably the most incompetent man ever elected to public office; he couldn't keep his biggest promise of no new wars. Even a yellow dog could have kept that promise.
Yes, IMO Trump is mentally ill (although I'm not a psychiatrist). Yes, I think the 25th Amendment should be invoked. That being said, Trump's cabinet is full of sycophants, and nobody has the balls or integrity to invoke it.
This is anti-Muslim rubbish. Muslims do not enforce their dietary restrictions on other faiths, except in certain Muslim-operated establishments. pic.twitter.com/k8ApI1fwHF
Barry Obama. He earned more Ivy League degrees than Trump and, unlike Trump, doesn't have a former professor calling him the dumbest student he ever had.
Only one of these leaked national secrets to Russians in 2017 and stole over 300 classified documents, leaving office, discussed them with unvetted individuals, and stored some of them in unsecured places, even bathrooms.
Trump thinks his being batsh*t crazy and thus unpredictable is a feature, not a bug. You can't figure out where you stand with a dumbass who starts a war with Iran after vowing no new wars and the next day starts renaming locations. He's not just Mary's crazy old uncle.
All celebrities are entitled to their own political opinions, including stupid Trumpkins like Kid Rock. I don't care; my political opinions aren't influenced by celebrities. I do think celebrities risk losing maybe half their fan base by abusing their platforms.
Trump has no authority that is not enumerated in the Constitution., especially state/local laws. Intolerance of Muslim religious freedom is intrinsically unconstitutional.
Trump routinely pays lip service to an America First foreign policy but he has surrounded himself with neo-cons like Bolton and the late Sen. Graham. I think the joint nature of the war against Iran with Israel speaks volumes, and I believe it's linked to Iran's proxies.
