Trump has been very good at transferring general GOP support for classical liberalism ideals to loyalty to himself and whatever ideals he espouses at the moment. Back in 2016 I recall a fair amount Trump supporting commentary saying, "take Trump seriously, but not literally." That may be a reasonable position about others when you have the choice to not to engage with them. We don't have the luxury with a POTUS. All those non-statesman-like behaviors and comments are, IMHO, small clues towards future behaviors.
Why are people more angry with Musk for exposing government spending waste, than at the people who committed it. This is the tax money of ALL Americans. My focus is on wanting some answers on how this all happened to begin with. Where was the oversight.
John, there are so many challenges politically for the US, it’s just difficult to imagine who or what can get us back to “old school” common sense politics. I do have THE answer … Term Limits!
Everyone gets six years - Reps, Senators, and the President. Then, they will VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE - not worrying about running for reelection. After six, then out, with a nice little pension.
No longer will the Representatives in the House spend all their waking hours groveling for money - running for office EVERY two years? Really? That system is broken.
So, going forward, whenever someone speaks about one of our elected officials not standing up for what most thinking people consider “American Values” - do what your elected officials won’t do, yell “WE NEED TERM LIMITS”! Bingo!
John, do you agree? I haven’t heard a peep from either side (of course), so let’s fill in the blanks, shall we? … Aloha, Mike
<What happened to “John D.”? He was a regular on the Q&A. — Bob H.
I fear he may have been assassinated by comment-section favorite, Bob Ricketts.>
And I thought John D was a gimmick.

John,
Why are people more angry with Musk for exposing government spending waste, than at the people who committed it. This is the tax money of ALL Americans. My focus is on wanting some answers on how this all happened to begin with. Where was the oversight.
Thank’s as always.

Where's Bernie? Did Goldberg retire?
Just from the Q&A. He still puts out three pieces a week: a column, an audio/video commentary, and a Time Machine piece.
