Why would Trump stop lying? It's worked for him so far.
Lying has helped him avoid almost all accountability as a sex predator.
Lying has made him billions.
Lying got him out of felonies that would put anyone else in prison.
Lying has made him so powerful that most media won't call his lies "lies."

5 years ago, selfish entitled people tried to overthrow our government. As has happened throughout their lives, after initially held accountable, they were coddled & enabled & then pardoned after their selfish leader was re-elected president. Everything flows from that fact.

some people love quoting "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must." That was Athens saying that at the height of its empire. Few of those people seem to remember what happened to Athens the very next year.

Do I think all that will happen in Venezuela? No. I have no idea. But those spiking the football should remember that when we use our military and roll the dice with the fate of nations, the consequences play out in a much longer time frame than social media trends.

Trump: "I said, 'Check the tariff shelf' ... we've taken in $650 billion." (Note the complete silence from House Republicans as he hypes tariffs.)

I’ll never forget the blackshirts who attacked our Capitol and its honorable police officers, five years ago.
Their mass pardon, as friends and collaborators, is the opposite of Conservative and will endure as a historic atrocity against American ideals.

I can’t think of a case in which DOD invoked the UCMJ against a retired officer, & there are many instances of dangerous behavior (Mike Flynn inciting violence or impugning elections) where it might be appropriate. Attempting to penalize anodyne speech by a sitting Senator is not one of those cases.
NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.

Wrath is the antithesis of justice. Criminal justice is a sobering, purposeful system to address violations of law and grieves the need to address such a breach of public order.
Wrath = vengeance.

I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.
Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.
Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

The lesson of the O.J. Simpson debacle was this:
"Never frame a Guilty Man"
The goal of this nasty & brutish administration is not exoneration, as facts are indeed "stubborn things". Rather, it's to throw sand in the umpire's eyes so no definitive call can be made.
So just beleive the women ⚖️

I work murders. No one is hiding murders. The numbers in these cities and others are down. This is historic good news.
I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.
