Lemme get this straight: Republicans got their panties in a bunch over Biden loaning his brother money for a truck, but crickets over Qatar giving Trump a $400 million airplane? That tracks.

I settle in to watch the start of Arsenal v PSG and, right at kickoff, CBS interrupts for a special report that the cardinals have *not* elected a new Pope. C'mon CBS, that's not worth a special report.

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

All the blame goes to Biden, all the credit goes to me
WELKER: When does it become the Trump economy?
TRUMP: It partially is right now. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Exactly this
The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war."
We didn't come close to holding them accountable.
We're seeing the cost of that now.

I enjoy international soccer. I root for the USA team. But, given the current political climate, I have no problem losing to Panama and Canada in the past few days 😂😂😂

Is it just me or does Trump & his cabinet spend a boatload of time in interviews? I feel like the Biden administration spent their time actually governing but these guys are more concerned with publicity.

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.
I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

NEW: I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk.
What would she say to him? Here was her answer:
“Fuck off.”

If House GOP wants to talk about waste, fraud, & abuse in Medicare/Medicaid, they should hold a hearing about it. I think Sen. Rick Scott would be an excellent witness to call

Any boss that demands you justify your worth, or else be eliminated, obviously does not understand how said organization functions

If you're gonna root out waste & fraud, you show that's it's waste & fraud. This "trust me, bro" attitude is, itself, a form of fraud.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Government is like the referees at a basketball game. If it's doing a good job, you barely notice it. If they do a crappy job, everyone notices. Guess what, we all notice what's happening.
