Clausewitz: War is politics by other means. Trump: War is commerce by other means (see "Trade wars are good, and easy to win".).

I think we finally found out what "2 weeks" means. And yeah, the now obligatory "thank you for your attention to this matter". And these folks are leading a witch hunt about Biden's supposed use of the autopen.

Arkansas tried this. All it did was kick people off Medicaid who should not have lost their enrollment status _because it was such a bureaucratic nightmare to comply with the reporting process_. Also what does Jim Justice know about "work"? He was born w/ a silver spoon in his mouth.

He's pissed that Obama got one and he hasn't. Maybe also about Carter?

Yes. Build a time machine, go back to 1619 and persuade the colonists at Jamestown not to enslave African captives. I suppose he thinks Jefferson Davis was a hero.

Yeah, last time that many troops were here they had to guard the Capitol & other buildings after 1/6. I would much rather see them have a good time than standing guard at gates on Independence Ave. It didn't hurt that they looked "normal" in the parade instead of marching like fascist automatons.

bbc.com/news/article... Of course it's not made in the US. But some of the same people who signed up for Trump U will buy the lie that it is.

When Trump uses the word "beautiful" or a modifier, you know he almost always means nasty.

Doesn't matter, they will ram something like it through Congress although perhaps not until right before the August recess.

The irony is that supporting "due process" for migrants facing deportation _is not_ a nuanced position. It's a Constitutional right, & a responsibility of government to ensure that it follows such procedures.It seems the public, even many Trump supporters, understand this better than the media.

Right. At the moment we have federal agents, ICE personnel and others, arresting people while wearing masks and no idenifying badges. This has to stop.

The ghost of Baroness Thatcher would like a word, but you already knew that. For that matter we might end up w/ the next "Dear Leader" of NK being a woman, Kim Yo Jong, a younger sister of Kim Jong Un.

I do not expect Trump to understand or care about the niceties concerning the PCA. He's pushing for the chance to lock up his political opponents & he's going to take whatever opportunity arises.

Dr. Hayden is being much more respectful of the White House than the White House has been to her. But then this is not really surprising, considering who is the President and who is his chief spokesperson. www.cbsnews.com/news/former-...

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.

"Coach" is running for governor of Alabama a state which he is supposed to represent in the Senate but where he does not currently reside, although he's arranged for a "pied de terre" for legal purposes. He also shouldn't get to vote.

www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o... You can ignore most of this, the important points are made in the final 5 paragraphs, many members of "the least dangerous branch" are doing their jobs. We should pay attention. Would that the GOP in Congress show similar spine (yeah, I know).
