Great question at the end. Indeed why would Trump take bribes from the Saudis to further their interests with nothing in return for us?

A drunken abuser doesn't care about abuse of women. You don't say.

We need to do the same with civics education but for white folks, in particular in rural areas. They're so uneducated & uninformed by design that they are susceptible to propaganda, disinformation and misinformation which is detrimental to our democracy. It's time, folks, to educate the masses.

Iran finally shut him up?

I'm shocked that she is shocked. Absolutely no one who watched this incompetent, psychopathic narcissist lie and cover up, and make shit up for the last 10+ years is shocked that he abandoned Americans abroad. He doesn't care about anyone else but himself.

Considering they hold all levers of power, and that their propaganda outlets work nonstop for Trump and his regime, over 50% disapproval rating is actually good. If we can take both the House and the Senate, and conduct some real investigations, espl. on Epstein Files coverup, he'll tank faster.

Hegseth thought he can treat Iran like the boats that he blew up in the Caribbean Sea. Watch them on his screen as they burn down, and pay no consequences. But we ain't in Kansas anymore.

Those endless Congressional hearings seem pointless until they don't. Let's keep pushing, so we don't let Trump's enablers get away with their crimes, even if it takes so much effort. It's worth it in the end.

That's my store! Costco was among the firsts to sue Trump for the tariffs, and I remember they promised us to return them back to us. So, fingers crossed.

Yeah but Fetterman already sold out, so it's going to be a wash.

The victims can sue the DOJ for ignoring the law and for the cover up because they have standing. I don't know if they'd do it though. They're probably out of resources because the lawyers aren't cheap.

Ukraine is being bombed every day, so I don't think they have much to spare but if they do, Ukrainians should demand Patriots in exchange for their drones to combat Russian ballistic missiles.

Oh, now they'll all need Ukrainians. Zelensky should name a price they won't be able to refuse.

Trump probably called a few others to give them the ICE Barbie's job but no one took the bate, but the dumbest of the all - Mullin - saved the day.

Ask Ukraine, you dumb-dumb. They've been downing them for years.

Since Dow is under 50,000 Pam Bondi should be fired along with Noem.

It's the Lewandowski blankie scandal that he doesn't like, isn't it?

TMZ, out of all things, is doing a better reporting than CBS. They were the first to report on the last assassin's identity and his background.

If Ukraine had 800 Patriots, Russia would have been finished by now. But we've been told all this time: "We just don't have enough Patriots to share." This is betrayal of the Ukrainian people. That goes to Biden too. I was so disappointed in him for slow walking the aid to Ukraine during his term.

He thinks Sheehy, who broke a Marine's arm on the Capitol Hill today, is the future of Montana? Jeez, we are doomed.

He's looking for sympathy from MAGA after he made a fool of himself? I don't think he'd get any. Waffle House it's like one thing that MAGA won't give up, like ever.

Not true until they show the proof. This administration lies all the time. Why would anyone believe their words?

So when we told them repeatedly: "He's not only lying to us, he's lying to you, too", and they were like: "That's fine because his lies hurt you." But lying to them, it's finally crossing the line?

I really wished Talarico would have run for Governor, so Texas could have both of them on the ballot in the general. But I'm confident Jasmine Crockett won't be unemployed for long.

Nooooo, nooooo. He can't just start wars to justify getting money for ICE. Stop it, just stop it!

That's very ballsy of him to walk around with "Fight Trump" slogan on his head. Is he inciting violence against the president, considering that picture was from his supposedly assassination attempt?

Maybe he'll now turn into a MTG.

I was in Barcelona last fall. They have a whole movement there to curb tourism because the city is overcrowded. So I'm confident, Spain will survive without American tourists. Besides, no American is safe abroad after we started this war, so I will be thinking twice before I travel abroad now.

The rube in the White House never cared for public opinion on anything. Why start now? He'll just dig a deeper hole for himself. If not the Epstein Files, then the war on Iran hopefully would tank him.
