A second generation nepo baby, raised by a pair of sociopaths and given every advantage in the world. I'm sure this story will end well.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Have any democrats said anything about Trump’s Antifa terrorism witch-hunt?

Because they’re not going after, “far leftists.” They’re targeting liberal organizations like Indivisible, and Open Society Foundations. They’re going to go after ActBlue too.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

"Trump is an aspiring autocrat with obvious physical and mental issues, but Johnson and his Republican cronies are insulting our intelligence about it."

He's never "just joking"

How many times do I have to say it?

A foreign military force using our facilities for training or storage is NOT THE SAME as a foreign country having sovereign power over land.

The Russian Embassy in DC is Russian soil for all intents and purposes, just like the U.S. Embassy in Brazil is US

Singapore already uses Mountain home base as a training facility, sounds like Qatar is doing the same.

Please correct me if I’m wrong but the entire airbase is not being given to Qatar right?

From what I can tell, this seems to be a similar agreement.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.
