He nails it.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Honestly, what does a group of allies (like NATO) do when it's become proven beyond a reasonable doubt that one amongst them is working with and for the allies' enemies? That one country is making the whole group much less safe? When one country threatens not to defend the other members?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

In Ukraine Pres Zelensyy gets over 50% approval ratings in multiple reputable polls. Trump says its 4%. Does he just state as fact that which he wishes is true? Or does he just take as fact all Russian propaganda? Whatever it is, its disastrous to have a US President so badly informed.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

hold your cards, bingo has been called....

Doge is canceling countless govt programs, funding grants, and firing 1000s of employees. Today we learn Elon is not running Doge, isn't even in the organization. Who the hell is? Where the hell is theír authority? This is anarchy

This likely illegal operation has zero transparency. In 6 months, no one will be able to be found who admits to being involved. The head guy is already denying it

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

not saying i'm old, but you used to be able to buy 2 liter Cokes for .99 all day, every day. #JustSayin

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

In fairness, who would figure "National Nuclear Security Administration" might be of some importance?

NC State, owner of a nine game skid, spots equally inept BC just ahead of them.

In all the chaos, nobody has had time to ask: Who exactly ordered USAID to be abruptly shut down, and for what reason? And the CFPB? We're owed the real answers

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Anderson Cooper just told Chris Sununu, "Dont be a d**k" on the air. And Sununu deserved, cause, he was being ....

When the next president is a Dem, visitor logs will be important again. Just works that way.

Big Finance is running the guvmint now

A consumer protection agency that costs little to run is closing b/c they annoy big financial institutions.

We are "banning words" from government communications. In Orwell's 1984 "Thought Crime" seemed ridiculously far fetched. Not so much now.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

I recall inflation over 2% being the most important issue in American history, but now that consumers expect 4.3% inflation over the next year (highest since Nov 2023) and the bond market expects 2.57% inflation over 5 years (highest since Mar 2023), it's no biggie.

wow, have you heard a recent cover of an Elton John 70's song? or looked up the lyrics? YOU have been singing it wrong this whole time. He tortured pronunciations to get a rhyme #GoodbyeYellowbrickRood

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

this is the honest to God truth: even GOP congresspeople know he is totally unqualified. Everyone can see the man is unbalanced, is possibly the worst qualified nominee ever put up by any president for any cabinet post.

This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. Government.

For over a century the US has been a favored, sought after ally and trade partner because of our stability, predictability and strength. America could always be trusted to be fair, respect human rights and all religions, promote democracy, freedom of speech, value expertise and science. Not any more

Its lazy indifference when you tolerate leaders who refuse to do the right thing to help the voters. I don't know what to call when leaders actively pursue policies that directly harm voters. I'd start by calling it insane I guess.

Its jawdropping how openly Trump is breaking laws, with no objection raised on EITHER side. I can't wait to see the next Dem in the WH with the new rules of anything goes.
