I think Trump is vulnerable to a legal challenge to his declared national emergencies, which is the legal basis for his moves at the border, immigration, and tariffs. If the SCOTUS rules Trump's emergencies do not exist, 90% of his fascist agenda can be ruled unconstitutional without congress.

CBS is wasting most of it's morning news coverage on that stupid celebrity women 10 minute vanity space flight. Probably because one of their CBS Morning hosts, Gayle King, is on board. Gayle is Oprah Winfrey's professional BFF. Big deal huh?

In Agent Orange's physical they found something that indicated he needs a non- routine colonoscopy. Normally that wouldn't be put off 2 years. That it was put off, hints doctors know he won't live 2 more years.

I read that Trump finally noticed the time change, and has resumed ranting against daylight savings time (or against standard time, it wasn't clear) more than a month after the clocks sprang forward. I expect a sharpie written executive order any day now.

Repubican voters are ecstatic about the 2024 election for the same reason sports fans are happy when "their" team wins the championship. We win! In your face Libs! Too bad for them that Trump, and the crooks in congress they elected, are now bending Republican voters over along with everybody else.

Rumors from the WH indicate that Elon soon will find out that $275 million doesn't buy what it used to. Looks like Trump is going to turn into a rental instead of a purchase.

With the 2024 election is safely in the rear view mirror, King Yambo responds to the tanking economy by boasting that was his plan all along. What about the campaign promises? Yambo doesn't need his base any longer, he doesn't even fear getting blitzed in the midterms, since he's a dictator now.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

I see another Republican congress critter has declared that the United States is not a Democracy because it is a Republic. Democracy: government by elected representatives. Republic: A Democracy with a president as chief of state. They are not different things. Republic is a form of Democracy.

So now criticizing Trump is considered "terrorisim?" They also consider vandalizing a Tesla car "terrorism."

So now US war plans amount to demolishing a civilian occupied apartment building with bombs, in order to kill one guy they identified, who they think was visiting a resident of the apartment building? Sounds an awful lot like a war crime to me. If not, what is it?

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Looks like he put down his drink but is still typing one-handed

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

What gave Dementia Donald the idea that anybody in the United States wants to annex Canada or Greenland? Hell, I wouldn't take either country if their entire populations got on their knees and begged to join the union. Part of Canada speaks French and Greenland speaks Greenlandic and Danish.

Opinion polls show only 5% of Americans believe we should acquire Greenland or Canada. So, as long as congress is passing bipartisan bills, why not forbid the Pentagon to spending money on war plans against Greenland, Panama and Canada? Pass a resolution saying the US has no interest in conquest.

Trump encouraging his cult to run out and buy Tesla cars is going to fail just like his going to bat for the COVID vaccine failed. Trump has already poisoned the watery minds of his MAGA hordes against electric cars.
