Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

He thinks SCOTUS are dummies.
He doesn't care about tariffs in any normal sense: it's his biggest toy/weapon/lever. W/ them he can swing at any nation and watch them capitulate. He loves the power. And now that he has it, it will be a void he'll be hard pressed to fill. Expect more bombings.

I live in FL, and and friend and I were just talking about how everyone was starting to look the same...like some middle school fashion craze. Consolidation and homogenization.

His wife was an officer in the company, but claimed she wasn't involved.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.
I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Pressed by Stephanopoulos on the fact that electricity prices have in fact gone up, Bessent punts: "Electricity prices are a state problem ... look, there are things the federal government can control. Local electricity prices are not one of them."

As we walked out Nuremberg, we chatted about the enduring love of WWII flix, when villains were identifiable, and the necessity for the public to remember what bad guys look like, and what they do. We have actual evil men running our government. The outcome is inevitable, it's just a matter of time.

One of the few positive aspects of this era in American history is that it's super-easy to identify the villains.
