@rob-rogers.bsky.socialMost unpopular administrations have followed the tradition of letting their party's midterm Senate and House candidates distance themselves from the White House. Much to the delight of the Dems, Trump refuses to stay away.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialCapital punishment has always been a controversial issue. I believe it is barbaric and doesn't actually work as a deterrence. How can we call ourselves a civilized democratic society when we have government sanctioned executions.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialWhy can't we live in a world where horrific sexual assaults aren't covered up? For that matter, why can't we live in a country where we don't put a rapist in the White House twice?
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump has decided that the big tech companies, the same ones responsible for rogue AI attacks, can just regulate themselves. Great.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump and RFK, Jr. are trying to make America infected again.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump's war of choice with Iran is hurting everyone, including his most devoted followers in middle America.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump's admiration for Xi Jinping could be related to the Chinese leader's crackdown on human rights or his suppression of the free press. Then again, Trump may just like the way Xi manipulated his government so he could stay in office.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialYou can tell a lot about a person by the company he keeps.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump wants to return to the days before newspapers when a town crier stood on a street corner and proclaimed the news of the day. Or, in Trump's case, the lies of the day.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialMy very own Pennsylvania senator, John Fetterman, who I voted for, is raising eyebrows these days for more than his tattoos and hoodies. He is now shilling for the most corrupt and immoral president in history. Great.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump is pretty much the only person on the planet NOT worried about the threat of AI. In fact, he said that the only control needed is “a strong and smart (high IQ!) president." I guess we'll have to wait until 2028 for that.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump pledged to pay $5K to every American if the GOP wins the midterm elections in November. I guess we can add bribery to his list of crimes, though, knowing him, he would never make good on it.
@rob-rogers.bsky.social@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump has been telling lies about 9/11 for a quarter of a century. He lied about his building the tallest in NYC. He lied about seeing Muslims cheering. He lied about being at ground zero aiding in the recovery effort. The list goes on.
@rob-rogers.bsky.social@rob-rogers.bsky.socialThe Herb Block Foundation has released a statement on using AI to produce editorial cartoons. (full disclosure: I am on the board and I wrote the statement).
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump is forcing republican candidates to celebrate him, not them, ahead of the midterm election with an idiotic convention that has been dubbed "Trumpapalooza." This is happening in spite of the fact that Trump's popularity has taken a nosedive.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump is importing 300,00 metric tons of questionable beef as a solution for high prices. Most say it will do little for affordability while hurting ranchers and farmers. It is also another example of how Trump is putting the GOP in a meat grinder.
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump wants to make the midterm elections about him. What a coincidence. So do the Democrats!
@rob-rogers.bsky.socialTrump treats our allies and trading partners like enemies while cozying up to murderous despots and thugs. He starts unnecessary wars and has an imperialist view of the world. Our reputation abroad is mud.
