Reminds me of Marley coming after Scrooge....

But taxes don't get you favors from the President.

Going way back to the beginning, I thought the only reason Trump was able to impose tariffs on Canada was because of an emergency involving fentanyl. Randomly imposing tariffs because he isn't happy with a commercial? Legality is way in the rear view mirror, I guess.

If you have a symbol on your body, you either know what it means or you are too stupid to hold office. Either way, let's find another candidate. Period.

Between Douthat and Bret Stephens, I'm right there behind you.

So that's what the $130m Mellon donated was for. Buying a job for a buddy. Sure hope someone makes sure it went into the Pentagon (even if illegal) and not the Trump pockets.

Ross Douthat has joined Bret Stephens as writers whose articles I no longer try to read. They are sycophants and their arguments make about as much sense as Trump at a press conference. NYT may go into my subscription dustbin, joining WAPO.

Because that doesn't get them any special favors.

You forgot greed, which is the factor behind each of the above.

Want some dressing for that word salad?

and once again - they choose not to de-escalate but to use the most force available to address any situation.

The MAGA responses on Facebook is that they were "obstructing" something and therefore it was justified. Kinda like blowing up alleged drug boats. They have a "concept" of what is right....

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

I'd have to see the paper trail for that one - purely imaginary.

I really do take time to fact check and to put in context before I repost. So the fact that the ballroom is his real priority right now means that it was absolutely true, even out of context. God, I hate these times!!

If you declared war on drugs/cartels in the U.S. but only went around shooting anyone you saw dealing, do you think they wouldn't just continue on with other dealers? And quit using "America" when you mean the United States.

It's an optical illusion....

The type of answer you get when you put a 28 year old, non-qualified person in a role that demands articulate and informed responses.
