There is no “administration” to be confused. There’s a mad king with a coterie that must lick up and serve his spittle every day.

If God controls the climate, then doesn't God also control the border? So shouldn't we just let whatever happens happen?

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Isn't this the old Pat Buchanan line. There was really no reason for the Allies to go after poor Germany.

Without the Danish subsidy, won’t Greenland have to tax its residents to make up the difference? And won’t that have to be about $10k a year?

Trump defying a court order. This is a crucial moment on the road to (or from) authoritarianism. Here we go.

Trump trying to take over a private university is truly an authoritarian measure.

Trade doesn't matter, deficits don't matter, family values don't matter, law-and-order doesn't matter, the Fourth Amendment doesn't matter, free speech doesn't matter, excessive federal power doesn't matter. The GOP is the anti-matter party now.

When you bow down to Trump, he will claim it shows that his conspiracy theories are correct, and only encourage his authoritarianism. Thank you, Big Law cowards.

Joe Kent appears to have had the word "PANZER" tattooed on his arm. Why? Could it be a reference to the tank used by the Nazi army? Something else? In response to a request for comment, a NCTC spox said to watch his confirmation hearing today. I did. It was not addressed.
