But he's the most transparent president in history! If you put the gift and profiteering right our there for all to see, it's totally OK to get rich from holding office and from president daddy's cronies. The corruption and hypocrisy continue to astound.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

A brief respite from the daily craziness today. A sad occasion brought me, but the calm and the beauty, and the people there with me, as always, make me happy. Don't forget to visit the places that refresh your spirit.

Law prohibits living person's likeness on US currency, I believe.

Who is he really scoring points with? He's likely costing many of his supporters their jobs with this crap. He's going after blue states/blue cities, but he's really hurting blue collar.

I don't know about boats. Serious question: do boats of the sizes the US has blown up have the fuel carrying capacity to get to the US along the route they were on at the time they were attacked? Would they need extra on board to make it? How much?

Probably that, like virtually all government construction contracts at the federal, state, county and municipal level for decades, there were women- and minority-owned business contract percentage goals or requirements. The horror!

He is such a petty, vindictive, hateful child. Even worse though are thise who continue to carry water for him.

If there is no value to precedent, there is no law. There are only the whims of judges that can change case by case or year by year based on their prejudices, interests, largest donors, and/or hidden secrets.

Too bad all gun violence victims don't get this kind of public remembrance and honor and
media coverage. Maybe if they did, people would actually realize the actual number of innocent lives - largely children - that are cut short because the gov't is too afraid to enact reasonable regulations.

"In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration..."

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

News isn't supposed to decide what we think. It is supposed to report the facts so we can decide what to think for ourselves.

And if he pulls credentials, the people left need to keep it up. Most of what he says is crap anyway, so it's not like they're getting some kind of newsworthy info by asking different questions. But by not allowing him to talk to reporters that way, maybe they could knock him down a peg.
