"Good at bizness"

already commented on this. But I think this may literally be the dumbest comment of the second Trump administration so far.

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

@marcelias.bsky.social killing it on @60minutes.bsky.social . Thanks, Marc, for all your heavy lifting. Trump wouldn't have it in for you so much if you hadn't totally bedeviled him in court. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-o...

Trump has made it clear that he’s going to go after judges as a way to impose his particular brand of fascism on the United States. And his billionaire buddy Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, has repeatedly called for the persecution of judges.

We are in a worse position than we were before Trump began his tariff bluster. Being a cowardly, loud-mouthed bully presiding over utter chaos is not an effective negotiating strategy.

Polls are rarely big news -- they're the model of ephemera -- but this one is different I think, because it indicates a significant erosion of a cohort that had a lot to do with Trump's victory in 2024. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

For the Treasury secretary to be talking at a closed-door session at J.P. Morgan — especially when announcing a major policy change — is a huge ethical breach.

So JD Vance meets with the pope and he dies the next day. I often say everything Trump touches dies, but Vance?

Trump isn’t acting alone. He’s a dangerous pathogen that found the perfect host in today’s Republican Party, an organism already compromised and eager to be infected.

Just left a radical left wing meeting. Well actually it was Good Friday prayers for.....those who've been betrayed, those treated unfairly and violently, prayers that those who govern act justly, prayers for those suffering prejudice, those who fear for their life and those treated without dignity.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

When a Froot Loop like Laura Loomer is in the discussion about the operation of the United States Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, there can be no doubt we’ve entered The Twilight Zone.

Make our Congress of cowards more afraid of us than they are of Trump!

“They say patriotism is the last refuge, to which a scoundrel clings / Steal a little and they throw you in jail; steal a lot and they make you a king” - Bob Dylan, “Sweetheart Like You” (from the album “Infidels”)

The wrecking of America’s public school system is underway. Will we allow this to continue?

The USA is encouraging a Russian missile campaign against Ukrainian civilians by letting the Russians know that the US will deprive Ukraine of the means to defend those civilians and no longer provide Ukrainian Patriots.

“Even now, I don’t think businesses, investors and the public in general fully appreciate what it means that we’re all subject to the whims of a mad king. But they’ll learn.” — Paul Krugman

As more and more people realize that Trump and his minions can’t be trusted, the damage will spread from trade to finance. The international role of the dollar and, eventually, America’s ability to service its debt are very much at risk.
