it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

OMG!
Hehehe. POTUS has no idea what he is talking about and has a god complex. This isn't live, we can cut this out, right?
QUINTANILLA: The president said the other day "why can't there be 25% GDP growth." What is the street supposed to do with that kind of number?
HASSETT: Heh heh heh. As an abstract thought, I don't know what the highest growth ever is, but I doubt it made it to 20%

McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."

Really? So now Kirk's murder is an "anti-Christian hate crime"?
350,000 churches in the US alone. Christians are hardly fucking oppressed.

"We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup". Maybe this is the reason we haven't seen the CTA Elves Workshop Train riding the rails in Chicago in several years. Not the best diet! :)

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Tariffs apply to goods, not services. Zero in on the goods-producing sector, and you'll discover that it's hemorrhaging jobs. Indeed, the start of the trade war marks the peak in that sector, and it's been in recession ever since.

Now you can be arrested if you are “overheard” making a threat? What a joke.
speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency
Kempsville High School assistant principal charged for threats against police, ICE
Virginia Beach assistant principal John Bennett and Mark Bennett charged for conspiring threats against police and ICE agents. Both are held without bond.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
