Reading between the headlines. Born in the city, shaped by its noise.
For people who have all the power, they really seem pre-occupied with Obama and Biden lately.

Seems like the cracks are beginning to show. Or am I imagining things? I’m hopeful, but I know where that has lead before.

Guess the people spoke, they got tired of a $89/night (great deal!) X 4 nights = $1,153.47.

The timing is great on this, it’s also uncannily timed… almost like a hit piece.

True that Trump defying SCOTUS is dangerous—but just to clarify: the Court can’t order U.S. Marshals to arrest a sitting president. Enforcement depends on DOJ & Congress. No precedent for handcuffing a president mid-term. Still—this is serious.

At least one thing seems to be functioning—but what a profound failure this era has been for the country. We’re meant to stand for democratic values, yet far too many are embracing the rhetoric and behavior of white supremacy instead. It’s a national identity crisis in plain sight.

Classic manufactured threat aka random BS. These types of threats are a cornerstone tactic in authoritarian playbooks. They let power-holders justify overreach, reframe policy, and distract from real problems by making the public afraid of something that isn’t actually a danger. It’s deliberate.

He has this knack for making the unbelievable, actually happen. It’s his super power. He says something three times, and then his people start to believe it.

His continued descension into the abyss of stupidity is just astounding sometimes. I’m in awe (and not in good way) every time I see his face hole move in a news bit.

I’ve read something on the “Backdoor VP Theory.” Legal grey area, scholars split. Theory: Trump would run as VP with compliant candidate who would resign, defaulting Trump as a POTUS “3rd term.” I realize this is far-fetched, but Trump has a knack for turning nightmares into reality.
