What I'm saying is, today is a really good day to remember that there is no convention of social discourse requiring you to pretend that the stupidest and most disingenuous human beings ever to draw breath are something other than what they are

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US;
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”
Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview:
"If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

Still shocked by how many people think invading Venezuela would be “good for them.” Like it’s a gas coupon war. This is for the 1%, not you. No cheaper gas. Just richer billionaires. Absolute morons.

There seem to be a lot of people under the impression that if Trump is impeached and removed for treason, that the VP and his whole cabinet go with him. That’s not correct. You have to impeach and remove one at a time. Art II Section 4 simply lists all the offices eligible for impeachment.

This divorced adulterer who covets other men's wives, constantly bears false witness, steals (elections), kills (fishermen), and plays golf every sabbath has obviously never opened a Bible. But, in fairness, he's never opened any other book either.

Mr Abrego eventually got these documents, and the judge has CANCELLED Abrego's trial and set a hearing for January 28th where the burden is on the government to prove they did not vindictively and selectively prosecute Mr. Abrego. If they can't, the charges may be DISMISSED. END/

Turner: "When you look at Biden administration & the weak immigration policies, tens of millions of illegal immigrants came across unchecked & that caused housing supply to go down & costs to go up. With secure borders & our fiscal house getting in order, this is a step toward housing affordability"

We will literally have a big bonfire on national TV…. And ceremonially destroy any memory of the Trump presidency
And replace his photo on the “walk of fame” in WH with two huge Cankles

Watching car salesmen days before year end baffled that sales have been down for 3 to 4 months. The cars are worse, cost twice as much, wages are half what they were, and you want $700 a month to lease. Nobody’s making money. Of course no one’s buying.
It won’t be better in 2026. Any guesses why?
