It’s almost as if Trump is lying about revenue from import taxes.

Who would have ever guessed???

Trump increasingly wants to place America in a permanent state of emergency to kill off our democracy.

Do it! Do it tomorrow!

We know this is where we are headed, so let's just rip that Band Aid off. Better to do it now and let the states and courts deal with it, rather than the middle of election season.

You are a massive disappointment. Resign.

The law specifically forbids a live person to be on U.S. money. The 2020 statute on the nation’s 250th birthday is silent on that issue. Thus, it’s illegal to put Trump on money.

Even the 6 MAGA scum on the Supreme Court should understand this basic statutory interpretation.

If so, why do right wingers in the U.S. oppose Puerto Rican statehood?

The plan is obvious (if Democrats want to save democracy). First, end the Senate filibuster. Second, expand the Supreme Court. Third, revoke every single Trump regime policy. Fourth, admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states. Fifth, end gerrymandering and reform voting. Last, end presidential immunity.

Actually, Stephen Miller froze up because he briefly was in sunlight. Any longer and he’d explode.

Bondi accusing anyone of lying is like Trump attacking a person for raising little girls.

Every accusation is a confession.

Trump raped little girls. Bondi and the MAGA party know. That’s why they block release of the Epstein files.

Why can’t Democrats just say it? If Trump sues, Democrats defending the case can demand release of the files.

The days are shorter so Miller can leave his crypt for longer.

What a lazy piece of stenography. The law prohibits putting a living president or ex president on money. Isn’t that properly the first thing we learn?

Executive orders aren’t laws. There is no statute passed by Congress, so Trump is lying as usual.

Trump is excuse needed for the worst among us to show their true colors.

So, in short, Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional tariffs suck.

In a stunned and eerily silent room filled with military leaders, Trump today threatened to use troops against Americans on our own soil.

While this telegraphs weakness to many, I bet pollsters and consultants tell Democrats to act reasonable so the Trump regime and the MAGA party are held responsible for the upcoming shutdown.

She won, with over 70% of the vote.

Trump is legally barred doing this — assuming he cares and the Supreme Court doesn’t rubber stamp this illegality.
