I think the more persistent issue is how many people think Trump is awful, but delight in it because he hates the people they hate, and they would rather see people they hate being angry than repudiate a depraved person.
You’d be surprised about how many Trump voters think he is a terrible human being and president, but believe they will be better off with his tax/economic agenda.

Your president is spending 11% more days at his private company’s properties and 25% more days playing golf than at this point in his first term.

If Trump wants to be the most transparent president in history, he can waive his 60 days and ask Judge Cannon to release Jack Smith’s report now.

Last time I checked, the Trump administration had killed more people in its boat bombing scheme (100+) than anyone they sent to CECOT.

I’m seeing some suggestions that the administration that is lawlessly killing people at sea also failed to comply with statutory document release requirements.
Say it ain’t so.

I’m not trying to be judgmental, but I feel that the people who now say they regret voting for Trump should have had a decent idea what he was all about before Nov 2024.

Important to remember that if this were true (it's not), but just IF there were any colorable case to be made that judges have engaged in "an unconscionable campaign of bias and hostility" there are judicial remedies.
If you disagree with a court, you appeal. You don't throw a tantrum on X.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Bar associations need to be taking immediate action against these traitors. Halligan should lose her license IMMEDIATELY because of this.

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.

Republicans aren't going to be able to avoid accountability for the massive health premium increases that are coming. Some people in Connecticut are getting a $25,000 increase. What Republicans have done is immoral - it's going to get people killed.

I support the Priess Plan.
I already have a counterproposal:
Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.
Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.
All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.
And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.
