Can we talk about the implications of a Qatari air base in Idaho…

Is that Qatari sovereign land?
Does Qatari military aircraft share airspace with domestic aircraft?
Will customs and border patrol monitor who comes and goes from that airbase in Idaho.

I’m so confused this was even legal.

Not just a plane, now real estate in Qatar. If we wrapped Turdbucket in shiny paper, would Qater accept him as a gift?

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

The guy who illegally accrued over $5 billion this year by abusing his power is prosecuting a black woman for getting a $50 a month discount on a loan.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

As Trump lies about America’s economic health, his doctors are lying about his own physical health.

We’ll see which one lasts longer .

The experiment has worked out pretty well for the last 250 years, only for it to be sold out for an airplane, some trinkets, and some insincere adulation to sooth the fragile ego of a mad man.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

The indictment of Letitia James should alarm us all.

It was meant to send a message: If you cross Trump, you could be next.

Merrick Garland could have stopped Shitler in his tracks. Merrick Garland bears the weight of history for Shitler’s destruction of 250 years of democracy. FUCK MERRICK GARLAND.
