Dear Brother,

I forgive you and the other 77 million Americans who voted for Mr Trump.

I do feel sorry for those of you who will have to live with your guilt the rest of your lives.

But who knew this failed real estate developer could cause the rest of the world to spend billions on an arms race & at the same time cancel all US cancer research?

And, oh yeah, God bless the litttle girls in Iran who he bombed by mistake.

Trump vows to 'take' Cuba as island reels from oil embargo

Pete, Your lethality is really working.

The girls of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab were given no quarter.

No rules of engagement protected them when death rained suddenly from the sky sometime between 10 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. on February 28, 2028.

Oh boy, in case you missed the last one, Mr Trump has us embroiled in another war in the Middle East.

'No friends but the mountains.' Kurds want Trump's help for Iran ground war

As the war against Iran enters its third week, the White House says ground troops are 'not part of the plan.' Seasoned Kurdish fighters disagree.

Mr Trump, Let's stop this new war ... you can even take credit for stopping a real 9th war.

On average USAID spent $120.5 million per day ($44 billion per year) & saved 11,780 lives per day (4.3 million lives per year) —- 1/3 were children. Thanks to USAID we saw reductions in mortality from causes like HIV/AIDS, malaria, & neglected tropical diseases.

The war on Iran is costing $2 billion per day. Or over 16 times the cost of USAID & is costing lives on both sides … not saving lives.

Mr Trump, Oops, your son-in-law & golfing buddy have some more work to do ...

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz ...

One option would involve negotiating with Iran to reopen the shipping lanes. Fat chance?

The other option would involve securing the Strait through military force, potentially occupying the Iranian side of the waterway with boots on the ground & a permanent American presence defending the area from Iranian attacks.

Welcome to geo-politics!

GOP Friends, I'm going out on a limb.

I don't think free healthcare makes everyone lazy. (But my MAGA brother says that makes me a Socialist.)

Is it okay if we provide healthcare for all?

PS Just healthcare, not any other hand-outs. Isn't that something we can agree on?

Mr Trump, Who are WE?

Oops Mr Trump, the daily cost of war in Iran is more than 8 times the cost of USAID ...

On average USAID spent $120.5 million per day ($44 billion per year) & saved 11,780 lives per day (4.3 million lives per year) —- 1/3 were children.

Reductions in mortality from causes like HIV/AIDS, malaria, & neglected tropical diseases.

The war on Iran is costing us $1 billion per day. Or over 8 times the cost of USAID.

JD says, "You should be thanking the president for trying to bring you into this conference."
