Signs of strain are emerging for President Donald Trump, even among supporters who once backed him without hesitation. On Runaway Country, host Alex Wagner highlighted a moment from a congressional hearing that underscored the growing sense of regret, featuring a veteran who said he deeply regretted voting for Trump after his wife — who had lived in the United States…

All the warnings fell on deaf ears, huh? Must be service-related hearing-loss.

    I know a veteran who married a women he met while stationed in Panama. He also adopted a kid from Panama. They were all loud and proud MAGA on the socials up until about 6 months ago. Now all of it has been removed. GEE I WONDER WHY?

      We’ve got a family of psychopaths loving below us, from some Eastern European country. They’ll bang on their ceiling if we move around after 9 pm. He tried to actually prohibit it, but I told him no, not politely. My landlord seems to hate them, too. They were trying to get his attention on the sidewalk a while back, and he barked at them “I told you that I don’t want to hear from you unless your place is on fire!” He likes us, though.

      But ever since Trump took office again, and ICE started rounding people up, these people have been SILENT. No banging on the ceiling , no dirty looks, no monopolizing the courtyard, etc.

      I’m pretty sure they’re just flying under the radar, knowing that we could make their lives miserable with one phone call. I wouldn’t do it, but if the tables were turned, I have no doubt that they would dime us out in a heartbeat.
