Is it possible that rehab was successful?

The goal is to provoke at all costs, in time for primetime TV.

This is the handiwork of Miller, an acquiescent Trump, and 70 million woefully ignorant or amoral people.

In my 60+ years, I’ve never witnessed anything so tragic and frightening in the United States.

Godspeed.

I’m fairly confident he doesn’t know “the person”’s name.

I’d be interested to know the rate at which Jennings interrupts female guests over male ones.

This is to say nothing of his paternalistic shaming of them via his ridiculous facial gesticulations when they’re expressing an opposing view.

I don’t recall them squawking after the Stones, the Who, etc. played.

I think it means white and no taste.

“The terrorist wing of their party…”?

MTG, Nut Loomer, Carlson, Rogan, etc. are harbingers of defections to come.

The rats are fleeing the MAGAship.

Sure, because he’s never lied about anything.

Is it possible that this is part of the underbelly (that we’ll never see) of the “peace plan”?

This situation is spinning out of control faster than I ever imagined.

Like many, I won’t be visiting the US any time soon. So sad and so frightening that there appears to be no bottom.

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

He’s a disrespectful, entitled, brainwashed lout.

Predictably, his presence tells us more about Scott Jennings rather than insight on the issues at hand. 💤💤😴😴

Or, maybe he’s just a paid actor.

Coverage is absurd. While the hostages should certainly be released, can we please address the fact that over 70, 000 Palestinians have been killed? That number, though rarely uttered by CNN, is from the mouth of the President.

Oui, c’est vrai.

Yes it is, and Trump is in the process of very effectively consolidating media (legacy and social).

Scary times ahead unless Americans start seeking news from abroad: BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, CBC, The Globe and Mail…etc..

Perhaps now is the time to get the ball rolling for international observers at polling stations.

Support this man. GOP gets away with the most aberrant behaviour continuously.

Dems always hold their leaders to impeccably (impossibly?) high standards.

Pritzker may not be perfect, but from the outside looking in, he is as good as it gets in this climate.

I’m sure she’s pleased as punch with her belligerent, aberrant behaviour.

Clearly, Noem, Bondi, and that wretched press secretary all went to the same finishing school.

Spew venom and lies at all costs.
