Makes me wonder if they are just satisfied to play second fiddle and cash in.

Exactly.  Go along to get along and get payed off to keep your mouth shut and actions ineffective at best.  Trump is their only nemesis.  Both parties hate him as he will upset the apple cart of corruption and bribery,

Yes she did unfortunately. I don't understand the political inemntnest and misunderstanding optics in our warped world. She's allowing the Uniparty to win.

That’s what republicans do.  They’ve never learned to fight back.

Is there anything the left doesn't ruin when they get involved?

Back in the mid '80 I was reading the Ayn Rand books.  I mentioned them to some of the leftist feminists I worked with as a rebuttal to some of their absurd views.  To my astonishment (see what I did there), they all said they LOVED Ayn Rand.  To this day, that surprises me because almost all of her views were diametrically opposed to those leftists.

They justified it by saying that she was a "strong woman".  But if they thought it through,and they admired her, then they would NOT take the views on society that they did.

There was borderline rape and the “strong woman” loved it.  Lol, leftist feminists.  Although back in the 80s they weren’t like the ones today, who will sue you into oblivion if you try to ask them for sex.

Feminist in the 80s:  I can be a strong woman and still appreciate an even stronger man.

Feminist today:  We don’t need no stinkin man.

The problem with leftist feminists or leftists in general is they don’t understand basic economics. They’ve been indoctrinated to believe in a system of parasitism enforced by authoritarianism. That’s all leftism is: An economic system based on parasitism. A non-leftist understands that voluntary transactions and profit motive in the context of a truly free market result in the highest productivity and richest economy.

As far as I can tell, the biggest problem with a rich free market economy is that it allows people to become so comfortable and complacent that they forget where it all comes from and fail to guard their founding principles, allowing future generations (by taking over education) to be targeted by leftists who then undermine the whole system and here we are.

This administration reminds me of a freak show at the circus.

The circus analogy is excellent.  I remember going to a three-ring circus when I was very young.  They used one ring as a distraction as they dismantled the other rings for the next act.  Lions in cages in ring 1, then clowns in ring 2 as they dismantled ring 1, then acrobats in ring 3 as they set up ring 1 for something else.  Always distraction from the real dismantling and setting up something different.  Now I wonder what all these campus riots are trying to distract us from?  or what are they setting up that we won't see?  And the price for admission to this circus is all the money you have.

Pretty much everything the regime does is staged.  This is yet another indication of the communist behind the scenes. 

If they manage to steal the upcoming election, the next phase will be huge billboards of the president everywhere, with some message.   Then, internet will be heavily censored and monitored.  You will only see and hear state approved media.

We are almost there.  One more election seals the deal. 

I was a sophomore in college in'71 and voted for Nixon in '72.

I have lost 40 pounds since August 02, 2023 and feel 30 years younger than I have in decades.  I've stopped all meds.  My BP, cholesterol, blood sugar and A1C are all dead center normal.
But I'm still deaf as a door nail without hearing aids and I'm (almost) blind as a bat in my right eye.
And I'm still old.

That's great Joe. Good  for you, losing that weight.  About three years ago, I just decided one day to change my lifestyle and started a rigorous, daily exercise program and totally changed my diet.

I'm 6' tall, so at 185 lbs looked halfway normal. I've been stable at 150 lbs now for almost two years. No meds, feel great and have lots of energy.
