If any of them are allowed to walk away from this without severe punishment, then we have learned nothing.

Thank you Lawrence for sorting through the facts for your viewers so we don't have to take the time out of our day to think about them. With so much disinformation out there, it's wonderful knowing that you're on our side as a trusted media partner. 💙💙

[FigurefigureskatingSkating]

We support you Lawrence! You are saying what we are all thinking. How can people vote for someone screaming "They're eating the cats and dogs", while the world was laughing at us or rather trump especially the Europeans. SMH

[drossMA]

NO! NO! NO! *Every one needs to fight!*
*No person should resign or quit in disagreement!*
Quitting does *not* help, it merely opens the way for "one of them" to step up illegally and execute the plans with minimal opposition, current resistance, and future accountability.
What every one *should* do is openly and loudly *refuse* to do this administration's bidding, *wait* to get fired for their refusal (or be locked out), and then immediately *open a lawsuit* for unjustifiable termination and possibly even defamation of character!!

At this point it doesn’t matter what Elon does. He is toast. People will not forget.

Truth. My small business I’ve had for 17 years will be done if these tariffs last more than a couple months. I’m living in my car to save my business but I don’t think I can. But Trump wants a 90+ million for his birthday parade. DOGE is a joke.

[fresnobear]

Are we forgetting that the countries that are or had been impacted by random tariffs will not trust America as a reliable trading partner. We in America forget that we had a leading presents in the world. Unfortunately not anymore. How can our allies ever trust the American electorate if we put him in office twice. Once would be a mistake, but 2 time there is something critically wrong with this country.

[astralighthouse]

Laurence, I love your voice. Please take care of it.

When this is all over with,








There will be trials.

[johnhutchinson]

If Trump wants a parade, he has enough money to pay for it himself. Our tax money should be used for things that are useful for We the People. (Schools, training teachers, paying teachers, and many other things)
A parade like that is something a narcissistic dictator would do. (If he is weak and insecure. And needs to massage his ego) 😮

[eriskalliste]

Logically, Trump would be dumber than a sack of Peter Navarros.

[JohnC-sv]

Question: Is Trump so delusional that he doesn't realize that he is presiding over a dumpster fire, or does he think that the rest of us are so delusional that we won't notice?

[kimberlykrause]

So appreciate Mr. O'Donnell speaking truthfully and clearly. Bet tRump wishes Mr. O'Donnell would retire. Thank you Mr. O'Donnell!!

[socialisttrafficregulator]

The 18 month lag time between the trillions lost and the full effects on Main Street places us at Mid October 2026.







Guess what happens THEN.

[Frenchblue]

I'm confused. I thought the supreme Court sided with trump, yesterday, not once but twice, in this immigration case overturning Boasberg (even before he had his hearing scheduled for today, Wednesday), in a 5-4 ruling where this time Roberts went with the other -Trump fraidy cats- men....🤔

[johnharris]

I thought the congress holds the purse strings? So who gave Music all the new contracts and put Star link in the white house. And everything else

[Observer]

What about legal recourse against the USA through the WTO?

[Observer]

What’s sad is the republican senators didn’t listen to the people but as soon as the ceo ‘s make a call they are on it!

[juliehaslam]

Should have spoken up earlier you cowards.

[Ktdid]

Brave? They should have had a conscious before it affected their pockets. Their constituents hopefully have been judiciously watching and learning especially MTG and vote accordingly.
