Our mistake was trusting to the supposed aristocratic altruism, integrity, and dignity of SCOTUS and other high courts without realizing they could be sullied by a meaner class of men with wealth.
Checks and balance, self-correcting functions are failing.

Ignoble prize for trade-war lashing out at China in a fit of petulance after not getting a ribbon at the fair. This is one of the many reasons you can't have nice things Mr. Prez.

JD, the 25th Amendment is calling again, will you hold?

Why do these guys feel they need to show their work like this? It's like a weird cross between a grade-schooler who won a penmanship award and someone compelled to prove to the boss that they are doing their best to keep him happy.

TACO. Buying opportunity if you are quick. Don't get greedy though, you never know what the Whiplash King will do next.

He's like toddler with a dirty diaper running about the parlor. You never know where you'll find the next little gift.

"Budget office says ‘substantial’ firings of federal workers have started" Directive from President Donald Trump and his administration | Oct. 10, 2025"

DJT is quite literally ruining peoples lives rather than green light honest negotiations of the budget.

Oh, and check your Medicare Adv. rates.

Trump claims to love paper ballots, but also insist on instantaneous results (so instantaneous that he frequently claims the election while people are still at the polls).
Paper does provide a nearly (apart from bald-faced cheats) indelible record of intent of the voter,but can be slow, bulky . . .

Hmm. In 2023, Dominion received a $787.5 million settlement from Fox News for spreading false claims about the company in the 2020 election. The settlement was more than triple the $225 million valuation Dominion held prior to the 2020 election.

Seems ownership cashed in their chips and went home.

Just so stupid. It's bad enough that many efforts to fight climate change/energy crisis were half-hearted vanity projects. Occasionally we do something smart like solar farms (could have been done smarter, but that is another story), but these idiots stick heads in sand, and roll us back 50 years.

Give him credit for dragging it out till the entire area has been reduced to rubble, so (as is typical in real estate exploitation) the land will be acquired for cheap, and the Gaza Riviera plan with TRUMP signage at the top of beach front property sends the Palestinians into the desert.

Wolf needs to retire - yesterday.

CNN: Giving airtime to a torch-waving firebrand for their brief foray into sanity in an effort to legitimize your own network attempts to reach a broader audience - you need to quit pandering and grow some dignity.

You can sing, dance, hurl insults, burn the flag, and give'em the finger. I fully support your right . . but this is not Kent State where really bad things resulted from accidental chaos. This chaos is meant to illicit bad things, where we might win the battle but lose the war.

". . plywood on their windows." Yeah? Like Mar-a-Lago in a couple of years when your house of cards comes tumbling down.
The Dems are absolutely awful at refuting his BS. Where is their PR? Their media campaigns (new and traditional 're:old')? I get plenty of 'asks' emails, but where is a leader?

Protesters should pull back a bit behind a line of vehicles or other obstructions. Keep your signs out for the media to see, sing, chant, bullhorn a well thought message.
Do not take the bait, do not taunt the shooters. Trump's goons are intent on escalating this so they can declare martial law.

So Ms. Luna really thinks she's got the chops for playing in the majors? This is so far over her head that she won't even realize that she is being used. She's deluded if she believes elsewise.

Well, now that they have had the Voodoo donuts, they'll let their hair grow, lean into pescetarianism, wear Birkenstocks while running errands, and decide living near Coos Bay might be nice.

'Trump said he's "never heard" of . . .' despite former interactions.
So . . .
1) he is senile and can't remember
or
2) he is lying

Funny how DJT holds a grudge forever, but forgets that he ever heard of people he wants distance from, even his best bros - once they become a liability.
