Scorned at home and abroad. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
He's on a really epic losing streak at home and abroad. What's more, nobody at the G7 (or anywhere) really has any use for him. I don't recall a more impotent, ostracized, poorly thought of president in our modern history. At his parade, at G7, he gives off a very very strong pissed off loser vibe.

Basically, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States taking the 5th on national TV to avoid answering why he did one of the most disgusting things any DOJ official has ever done in US history.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

1. He didn’t have the authority to change the name of The Dept of Defense, and he doesn’t have the authority to change the name of the Kennedy Center.

2. More importantly, he needs to be removed from office. He’s mentally unfit to be president, and he’s a clear & present danger to this country.

For those that don't know how things work. There were no $1776 checks cut to our troops by legal means. Let alone in the last hour according to a dementia addled old desperate fool. Congress passed no law for that as part of military compensation. He's desperate, lying to the best of us for approval

I learned about the DoD investigation by tweet, and I learned they’re “escalating” it the same way last night. This just shows again how Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. And there's nothing he can do to stop me from fighting for this country.

History will remember Rob Reiner for his art, his heart, and his advocacy. It will remember Donald Trump for reducing the presidency to a platform for petty cruelty. Ranting about "mind-crippling diseases" while weaponizing tragedy offers a disturbing look at who is actually unwell.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

You are not “Secretary of War” bcuz there is no such thing as the “Department of War.” We have a Department of Defense, and everyone who works there is laughing at you. And all our military brass laughs at you. Sen Mark Kelly was right - you’re like a little boy playing army.

There is nothing but crimes and illegalities coming from this admin. Pardons for traitors and criminals. Violations of the Constitution. Abuses of judges's orders. Vengeance legal actions against supposed domestic enemies. Destruction of a fed building. Disrespect and public humiliation of women.

I have no idea why media continues to hype this person as a serious political commentator, but to go even further and float him as a viable presidential candidate is just farcical.
