Those are the words of a dictator.
NYT: Asked … if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
“I don’t need international law,” he added. “I’m not looking to hurt people.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

To be a political reporter in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime.
Or you just have to be willing to pretend you’re that gullible.
Either way, we deserve better.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

This really makes me want to protest the parade, as if there weren’t already so many good reasons.
Trump threatens to use “heavy force” against anyone who protests his military parade this weekend, and note that he makes no exception for peaceful protesters

Trump doesn't feel like he's won unless he's ripped you off. That's what all the "deal" talk is -- 100% about other countries submitting, bowing the knee, acknowledging that he's the Big Man, that he can do what he wants without restraint.
None of it has anything to do with economics.

In my opinion? Absolutely.
Taney brought us the disastrous Dred Scott, but Roberts has delivered horrible rulings on a wide variety of issues — Citizens United, Heller, Shelby County, Brnovich, Dobbs, and of course Trump v US.

Genuine question: when they look back on his court, will it be seen as worse than Taney?

I spent the last eight years warning people about how cancel culture endangers free speech. Now that Trump is deporting protesters, withholding money from universities, and suing media companies, I've decided that I'm going to continue warning people about how cancel culture endangers free speech.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.
