Department of Defense has been changed to the Department of War to reflect the new focus for the Trump administration.
Shouldn’t they change the name of the Department of Justice to the Department of Crime?

Is it true that they have to use spider and scorpion venom to keep Trump alive?
not only was Trump's right hand discolored on Christmas Eve, but it appears his left hand is now discolored too

Trump should just start it out by doing a public confessional.
Trump: “We’re bringing back religion in a big way.”

It’s actually hard to imagine that there are people like these goons.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

People with empathy will bear the costs of a failing economy…and that’s the way authoritarians like it.
Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too. www.wired.com/story/us-tra...

Elon Musk’s net worth increased by nearly 50% to $645bn with founders of Google and Amazon also seeing huge wealth gains
A stock market boom in artificial intelligence companies has added more than half a trillion dollars to the wealth of America’s tech barons in the past year, data shows.
The top 10 US founders and bosses of some of the world’s largest technology companies saw their finances swell to nearly $2.5tn, up from $1.9tn, in the year to Christmas Eve, according to figures from Bloomberg. Continue reading...

The cost is way too high. Government subsidies should encourage higher education.
But rich families don’t like competition in the job market…especially in high paying jobs.
Why stop immigration? Force a lower class of Americans into those thankless jobs.

A smarter model for paying for college: income-based repayment. You start paying your student loans only once you earn enough to comfortably get by. That turns higher ed debt into something more like a tax surcharge on success, not a choke collar on people who are struggling.

Trump is probably just trying to provoke a terrorist response from some group, any group, so he can declare martial law.
He’ll do it anyway, of course, but he will keep more of the old Republican base on board if there is no suspicion that MAGA are the terrorists.

If I were rich, I’d be like Disabled Santa Claus.
Get all my disabled friends the things they wouldn’t normally be able to buy/crowdfund from their wish lists.
Stock their fridge and pantries with food they like and can easily prepare.
And something fun, because they deserve nice things too.

Tell Venezuela, their fishermen, and their oil tankers…all illegal US operations and not very welcoming.
Greenland Envoy Gov. Jeff Landry: "Look, the United States has always been a welcoming party. We don't go in there trying to conquer anybody and trying to take over anybody's country. We say, 'Listen. We represent liberty. We represented economic strength. We represent protection.'"

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

Different rules for the rich vs the poor. The rich can afford financial brokers, tax attorneys and accountants to find every hidden tax loophole too.
The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Trying to hedge his bet on whether he will be imprisoned for life for violating his oath of office that directly led to multiple deaths??
Kavanaugh goes out of his way to pen a footnote not having to deal with the case at hand.
He appears to be trying to narrow the forces he unleashed with his prior opinion allowing for race- and ethnicity-based #KavanaughStops

When/if we get our constitutional government back, can we just leave him in Greenland?
Trump’s new special envoy to Greenland Jeff Landry says he’s the perfect person to persuade them to become part of the US because his family has lived in Louisiana for 300 years and Greenland falls under the Monroe Doctrine and he going to bring them great Cajun food.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
