Trump: "We have a fool at the Federal Reserve. I mean, Biden reappointed him. It's too bad. You would have thought he wouldn't have done that."

Those who claim Trump's advacing dementia has left him entirely without impulse control should have watched Trump today. They would have seen how Trump restrained himself from calling the Chair of the Federal Reserve Board "Piggy."

If we learned that the Obama or Biden DOJ was casually monitoring the comings and goings of a reporter for any reason, much less b/c she was the lead reporter on all things Epstein, it would be a Watergate-level scandal but of course since it's Trump, one day (at best) and we move right along 🙃

billionaires are the sad victims of an inadequate tax code, which has allowed them to become surrounded by an isolating bubble of sycophants, severed from participation in community and ordinary fellowship. we owe potential victims of this condition prevention, and those already suffering remedy.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

Here's Trump giving more credence to the fear that Israel plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza and ship them to Somaliland, a self-declared country in the Horn of Africa that no UN member state recognizes – except for Israel.
Trump: "I heard that number today -- half of Gaza would leave. I've always said it. I said if they were given the opportunity to live in a better climate, they would move. We're helping the people of Gaza a lot. So is Israel, by the way."

He has no idea what he is saying anymore. The distance between reality and fabrication it’s almost nonexistent for him. He’s tangled up in his own inconsistent statements and memories. His brain is sticky pile of silly string.
Q: Can you say any more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in a radio interview. Did the military do that?

TRUMP: Well, it doesn't matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. We hit the area.

Trump commuted the sentence of Philip Esformes, behind a $1.3B Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Florida Senator Rick Scott led a company that paid $1.7B for Medicare fraud. This is the party pretending to care about Medicare and Medicaid fraud.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

There has to be a really good lawsuit floating around in here somewhere. I live very near a regional USPS center, but most of Nebraska doesn’t and there are many non-voting processes reliant on postmarks for proof.
In one fell swoop, Trump has successfully achieved his goal of fucking up voting by mail.

Anyone dropping off a time-sensitive piece of postage (ballots, legal docs, etc) should start taking a photo of them selves dropping it off (with postage & postal address clearly showing) at a USPS mailbox to use as evidence later.

I don't know if it would count legally but it's worth a shot...

The proper way to end war (which we have wrong POTUS for) is to convince Putin that there is no reality in which he can hold Ukrainian territory without continual conflict. The way to do that is to tell him that the USA/Canada and EU countries will continually beef up and support UA military.
