Impeach them all.
Zero tolerance for anyone in government premeditatedly covering up for child sex traffickers, pedophiles, and child rapists.
If we cannot agree on this, candidly there is nothing left to talk about.

100% agree. When the GOP had the chance to rid the party of Trump by removing and banning him from any public office through impeachment and they just rolled over, I knew the party was truly lost.
January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

If you heard this from someone in a bar, at an assisted-living facility, in a sanity-competence hearing, etc you'd know you were not dealing with a person in control of facts, reality, or himself.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Worried that the escalation this week is designed to coincide with Friday's deadline for the DOJ to release the Epstein files
Gallego: "This is the Iraq War 2.0 with a South American flavor. I'm hoping this doesn't happen, but I'm telling you - if you look at what they have down there, all the assets they have down there, all the actions they're taking, this is absolutely an effort to get us involved in a war in Venezuela"

I was one of those people who thought sadism, sociopathy and utter inhumanity would be disqualifying characteristics for election to the nation's highest office. I still believe the expanding expression of those characteristics should be disqualifying to continue in the nation's highest office.

The best moment in the History of the Word Caucasian came in a series of Supreme Court cases during the immigration panic of the 1920s.
The Naturalization Act of 1790 said that only "white" people could be naturalized as American citizens, but that only raised questions about what counted as white?

I’d wager a kidney that the typical millionaire/billionaire who takes advantage Trump’s gold card grift is far, far more likely to extract money from taxpayers through corruption/corporate welfare than the undocumented, low-skill workers they falsely accuse of leeching public benefits.

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.
Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

Again, imagine if your father or grandfather was going on social media at night and posting stuff like this. You would have to seriously consider a memory care facility.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

Yeah, lots of grift but this is probably it.
I wonder how much of Trump’s pardon spree is an explicit bribe and how much is just feeling that, “I did that” or “I could have done that,“ or “he reminds me of me.”
President Trump on Tuesday pardoned Timothy Leiweke, a real estate developer who had been charged by the president’s own Justice Department earlier this year with rigging the bidding process for a sports arena.
