Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Trump Derangement Syndrome,  is still alive and well.
I was hoping that by others posting here, we could form a sort of civil unity, without hate and vitriol.   A place to listen to or actually discuss,  both sides of a situation.  It's not happening and will not happen here, so I'm no longer posting in this discussion.

Barbara, I have made 2 short posts in a row and you claim I have taken over the discussion. I have posted articles-truths too. And Marilyne you have claimed: Trump Derangement Syndrome-- I assume against me for posting articles about 34 time felon Trump. Well all of you are very welcomed to this self-indulged crook that is now in charge. I cannot accept crookedness and horrid lying. He said he would be President of all US citizens and now he moves to prove he will only do well by those who voted from him. I severed my country with honor for 34 years. My forefathers starting in 1643 served this country . They were in the First Continental Congress, some were Presidents some Governors but we ALL have served this country. None of us can be proud of what is happening at this time by this demented AUTOCRAT. You are welcomed to him.

Which ones were Presidents?

Another Executive order: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-orders-freeze-on-all-federal-grants-and-loans-in-huge-power-grab/ar-AA1xYjnD
This one is illegal as funds are approved by Congress and cannot be touched except by Congress. Dictator at work.
Millions affected by this 'order'

Well, Trump is aligning US with Russia. Scary IMO.
 He did a hatchet job on Zelensky in the oval office.
Russia loved it as they emailed about it. 
Awful I can't imagine any of us treating a guest in that fashion.
And to top it off a White House correspondent (Obrien) asked Zelensky.   "why didn't you wear a suit?" Shear nastiness. Hmm Did he ask Musk that same question?
All this has made me feel very ill. I am afraid of living in USA now, but too old to move.

I don't believe one word of drivel from this Putin loving man, nor do I believe one lying word from his guest!
Following is an excerpt from Wikipedia
Carlson is known for circulating far-right ideas into mainstream politics and discourse.[13] He has promoted conspiracy theories on topics such as demographic replacement,[16] COVID-19,[19] the January 6 United States Capitol attack,[22] and Ukrainian bioweapons;[25] and has been noted for false and misleading statements about these and other topics.[28] Carlson's remarks on race, immigration, and women – including slurs he said on air between 2006 and 2011[31] – have been described by some as racist and sexist, and provoked advertiser boycotts of Tucker Carlson Tonight.[36]

In April 2023, Fox News dismissed Carlson and canceled his show without any explanation.[43] It was Lachlan Murdoch who made the decision to fire him.[44] Tucker Carlson Tonight had at that point been one of the most-watched cable news shows in the country. Carlson was among the hosts named in the Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network defamation lawsuit for broadcasting false statements about the plaintiff company's voting machines that Fox News settled for $787.5 million and required Fox News to acknowledge that the broadcast statements were false.[45][46]

Carlson is a critic of immigration.[47] Formerly an economic libertarian, he now supports protectionism.[48][49] In 2004, he renounced his initial support for the Iraq War,[50][51] and has since been skeptical of U.S. foreign interventions.[48][52] He was said to have influenced some of Trump's decisions as president, including the cancellation of a military strike against Iran in 2019, the dismissal of John Bolton as National Security Advisor the same year, and the commutation of Roger Stone's prison sentence in 2020, and would criticize Trump when he believed he was straying from "Trumpism".[58] Carlson has often defended the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. In February 2024, he became the first Western journalist to interview Putin since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
