I have arrived at the unbelievably surreal conclusion that I am more capable, qualified, and morally centered than most members of the Supreme Court and virtually all those occupying the White House. At no point in my life did I think I would ever say such an outrageous thing.

I'm so tired of Trump's MAGA haiku bullshit. He introduced his grand plan on tariffs today and the improvised screed slathered with hyperbole and lies makes zero sense. But I get the gist. Well, news flash, BLOTUS. Your poorly conceived tariff fetish will not yield anything good for the U.S.

GOP Congress members questioning Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Patel: "Thanks so much for showing up today, I recall with fondness how we worked together and how awesome you are. I'd like to thank you for the super MAGA great work you do and that all this bad stuff is just nonsense. I love you, man!"

As I figured, Ratcliffe and Gabbard lied to Congress. Let us see if Congress will assert its rightful power to check these knuckleheads.

Just watch: Trump's team of gaslighters will recast the Yemen OPSEC breach as having been orchestrated by the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic. Mr. Goldberg was in fact invited into the group chat.

GOP members of Congress are bloody cowards, giving a pass to the outrageous ineptitude displayed by Pete Hogsnot and other members of the circus Cabinet. Every single day this administration demonstrates its dishonor and ignorance.

If Democrats think a 2028 ticket featuring AOC and Sanders is a good idea, that party is proving yet again it didn't learn a damn thing. Again.

"As the Supreme Court has made crystal clear, the proper recourse for a party subject to an injunction it believes is legally flawed — and is indeed later shown to be so flawed — is appellate review, not disobedience." - US District Judge James Boasberg

Don’t be fooled. Trump and Musk did not “rescue astronauts abandoned by President Biden.” Trump, as always, is lying.

Were Biden's pardons signed with autopen?
President Trump claims 'many' of Biden's pardons are void because they were signed automatically and not by hand.

"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people." - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
What a blithering idiot. This twit, her stupid boss, and an inept Cabinet is so beyond absurd it shocks the soul.
We have become the butt of jokes, even in the developing world.

Tulsi Gabbard, who is very unqualified for the job, is now head of our contry's intelligence system. Republicans in Congress, despite many having misgivings, nevertheless capitulated to Trump As they routinely do. They obey in advance.

"Suppose the president commits murder. You can only remove him from office on impeachment. What if he continues to murder daily and Congress isn't sitting to impeach him? Oh! the People would rise and restrain him, allowing the mob to do what legal justice must abstain from." —Sen. Wm Maclay (1789)

Those who stormed the U.S. Capitol are not remotely heroes. They are intellectually vulnerable traitors (not even “useful idiots”) of the United States hoodwinked by Trump and Fox News.
