Tom Emmer: "If you come here from a country where you have to lie, cheat, & steal - like Somalia - & you continue to lie, cheat, & steal & take advantage of Americans' generosity, you do not deserve to be a citizen of this country and you should be denaturalized and sent back to where you came from"

If any other president had said this despicable thing, it would result in immediate retractions and clarifications, days of media speculation about his mental state, lots of international criticism, and the resignations on principle of some staffers in the White House and broader administration.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

The inability to understand or relate to everyday citizens of this country seems problematic for people entrusted to be our leaders.

Granted, my Minnesota cred is a bit rusty these days, but where the hell is this cadre of paid actors that can drive on snow and know the proper use of “Ope! Let me just scooch by you there…” supposed to be coming from?

LOFGREN: The fact that Trump, according to Senator Graham, would be that 'Martians stole the election' -- what does that tell you about Trump's state of mind?

Trump: "The Times Siena Poll, which is always tremendously negative to me, especially just before the Election of 2024, where I won in a Landslide, will be added to my lawsuit against The Failing New York Times.

Given that it took nearly two years to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Trump, "pressure" is not the word to associate with Merrick Garland.
