If Trump really wanted to signal that vaccines were safe & effective he could have gotten his shots live on camera. He could have held a press conference and announced his belief in vaccines. Instead he chose not to publicize his support.

This is another way of saying, “Trump wants complete control of the country and he doesn’t want the SC to weigh in with their opinions as to whether or not what he’s doing is constitutional.”

That’s very good news. We saw that happen when Far Right groups took over school boards a few years ago. They caught parents unawares. As soon as the Far Right-controlled boards began banning books & attacking teachers, parents woke up, got involved, and threw the extremists out.

When you surround yourself with billionaires, the economic outlook always looks great.

They love to bring up “health savings accounts.” It’s another tax dodge for the wealthy. Most of us don’t have thousands of dollars to put into a savings account for medical emergencies. Without insurance the hip replacement I need would cost $80,000. It would take decades for me to save that much.

The reason that “the wealthiest country on earth” spends so little on safety nets benefiting the masses and allows the basic infrastructure to crumble to dust is because Republican leaders would rather we fight senseless wars. This is just more of the same.

The DJT Library is going to look a lot like the Liberace Museum. The public will mainly go to gawk at all the gold trophies and trinkets, not to mention the 747 Qatari jet. There will be a whole lot of propaganda and very little actual history.

That mantel display does not look awesome or regal, it looks like a store display—the bargain basement department where unsold crap is drastically reduced.

I’m hoping that legal precedent is set finding that a pardon is nullified if paid for. It surely cannot be constitutional that the president has the power to pardon anyone if he receives a bribe in return.

Oh sure 😉 that’ll totally stop people from thinking/talking about Epstein and Trump. Go for it, Donald!

I’m trying to imagine the DOJ investigating Bill Clinton for his involvement with Epstein. It would be a 3 ring circus that would blow up in Trump’s face for sure.

We have never seen the DOJ used in this way before and seemingly there’s no way to stop it. It’s both scary and outrageous. The senators who are now seeking damages for having been investigated by Jack Smith won’t have to go to court, the DOJ won’t bother to fight them.

Exactly what Putin did when he got into power. He & his chosen cohorts bled the country dry. By sharing the wealth, he ensured their support.

Prince Andrew, famously a Democrat. 🙄 It’s not a political party that unites all of Epstein’s pedophile circle, it’s money. Rich men used those young girls and, yes, some of those rich men were Dems—including DJ Trump at the time.

Excellent article. It should be required reading for anyone who plans to interview MTG.

He’s trying to use the same tactics that worked for him in the Russian interference case: Lie, lie, lie. Then claim it was all a Democratic hoax.
It’s laughable to see him try to pretend that Epstein is a Democratic hoax. There were lots of rich men involved like Prince Andrew <—not a Democrat.

Not just insertion. Many people like myself and my daughter can not stand the pain afterwards and end up removing the IUD within a week or so of insertion.

My tip is keep a close eye on monthly subscriptions. They can be insidious and add up to $100s. Our rule is to cancel 1 channel before subscribing to a new one.

I’m wondering why R leadership is still working so hard to protect him. Yes he was a tremendous asset—bringing in new voters to support an aging party—but he’ll never be on the ballot again & his endorsement is not worth that much. Meanwhile he’s an embarrassment every time he opens his mouth.

That seems like a sane response to the political situation here. There’s a chance that not only will women lose the right to abortion nationally but also birth control. Then there’s the problem of the manosphere teaching young men that women are undesirable unless they are doormats.

“This is my greatest strength. I might as well do this”
Is he admitting that he’s a crappy president? “I might as well do this” sounds like nothing else he does is worthwhile.

“This was done by Jackie Kennedy Onassis, then Jackie Kennedy, I hope.”
What? He hopes she was married to JFK when she was decorating the East Wing? I don’t know what else he could mean. Is he imagining she snuck back after marrying Onassis to redo the WH?
