Bondi in full sixth grade retort mode in the vein of
*I am not going to invite you to my birthday party because you are not cool enough!*

Bondi was prepped for combative answers, but not able to answer the relevant questions. Her tone, her attitude, showed she arrived ready to be difficult, but her actual answers sounded like a junior high student pulled into the office but who knows her mom will call and get her out of trouble.

Does Trump have any idea what this is? History? Context?

Who is giving this stuff to him to post or posting for him? Who is with him or on the phone with him when this happens?

The Trump regime's war on Christianity continues, as regime troops attacks Americans across the United States and rounds up majority Christian immigrants, they've also targeted religious leaders.

Here the Trump regime ICE forces shot a pastor in the head in the latest attack on civilians.

Many women who end up in that profession are victims.

Trump has no claim to being a victim, though that is his go-to talking point to absolve himself of responsibility.

To add: Trump wanted the crowd on Jan 6th to "fight" for him and then pardoned them for their violence against democracy and against people. We have colloquialized "Hang Mike Pence," but there was a real way to do that parked in front of the building. And he coopted Musk just long enough to "win".

Who is writing these supposed Trump posts? Trump is fearful, for sure, but doesn't this lock-up-the-mayor-and-governor talk sound more like Noem/Miller?

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do." "He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

The Fear Factor

The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.”

ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?

Only a strong and powerful leader like Trump can bring this war ravaged city back from the brink of destruction and anarchy.

You sound very courageous. May you be at peace as the pros have at it to bring you back to full health.

You are shameless.

You laundered Russian misinformation in 2020 and then communicated with the WH on Jan 6.

You weren’t surveilled.

DOJ obtained basic records after the fact —date, time and length of call, but no substance — to confirm Trump’s effort to overturn the election.

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

Campaigned and voted for Obama twice, but it is clear now that John McCain was right to raise the alarm for Georgia way back then, as was Romney to bring up the concern about Putin.

Where is that Republican party now?

Finding great articles and posts by journalists and publications, hearing about books, knowing about local freedom projects in other places, seeing shared humanity in humor and community--Kind of great, but not "in your life" great.

Has anything greatly harmful happened? Not devastating, but yes.

So for the Tigers it is an elimination game.

I hear that. And I hope it is, though they are a good team.
