Trump, having donned his Napoleonic chapeau en bataille as Commander in Chief, during an informal hanging out session with the fake news media, immediately blabs his near term strategies or otherwise blasts them out on Truth Social to be sure his enemies know no surprise. A true egalitarian!
This declaration from the Mouth that Roars was dismissed by Iran's leaders. They left Trump in the Green Room. Perhaps they don't subscribe to Truth Social. Further, they doubled down on their defiance by annointing Mojtapa Khomenei, the son of the Ayatollah, who Trump declared is unsuitable to him.
... as evidenced by the six bodies of sacrificial US military personnel Trump greeted at Dover AFB yesterday upon their return to the US for burial.
The Russia - Ukraine War has begun a disheartening year five in spite of relatively clear objectives on both sides; a fact that does not bode well for the US, which has failed to articulate clear objectives for overcoming what will likely prove to be determined resistance.
Trump has taken to the frequent inclusion of ball caps as part of his wardrobe, expanding on his former practice of occasionally adding the caps to his business attire. One wonders if something he dislikes is going on with his signature hair style that he wants to hide from public view.
Is RFK Jr. going through a mid-life crisis based on Putin envy? It seems he's photographed more and more often without a shirt... to show off his lovely pecs, perhaps. So often of late, he appears rather fettish foolish.
Is this the most pressing issue weighing heavy on Poilievre's mind? Figures!
Ah, Kristi, to Noem is to love 'm. All horns and tail, in the end, he stuck you in the bum with his trident. At least now, at last, you're an American.
Trump has become the partner Netanyahu has always longed for; someone who will indulge your megalomaniacal urges and do your bidding.
Look at Speaker Johnson. Shoulders back. Chin up. Spine of steel. Marvel will soon unveil a new Super Hero comic with a protagonist modeled on him and known as Forked Tongue Man.
Republicans are typically cavalier about the potential economic consequences of their policy initiatives as long as the barrier they've erected to protect their donor base remains intact.
Fine but The Guardian's pronouncement of another example of Trumpian lawlessness is unlikely to move him from disrespect for the rule of law to a place of sudden lawful obedience. That's as unlikely as him finding an elusive cure for his malignant narcissism.
You watching Hegseth's live DoD press statement? If so, you're in the presence of an amateurish twit, projecting juvenile bombast. His message is shaped by a maniacal need to puff himself up in a hopeless search for respect and admiration. Can you hear the military teeth grinding in embarrassment?
Only in America, you say, where towering ethical principles and exacting discernment are the Republican voters' North Star.
The Onion applauds the news about Trump's attendance at the WH Correspondent's Association dinner and the decision to cancel Oz Perlman, the chosen MC, in favor of President Obama, a proven master of Trump roast stand up to do the gig. He was a big hit the last time he worked the Donald.
Netanyahu mires Israel in a perpetual state of war to avoid facing the consequences of his criminal trial. Similarly, Trump is using Iran as a smokescreen that bumps Epstein out of the he's news cycle.
Trying to cut through Hegseth's hyperbolic effort to make a case for assaulting Iran and realize he's just another Trumpian gasbag who navigates with gaslights. He fits nicely with this administration. Like Bondi, Patel, Noem, Gabband, and Lutnick, he verifies we are right to diminish lightweights.
Tariffs are taxes. Trump's Folly. Affordability indifference. Trump's Folly. Cruel immigration brutality. Trump's Folly. Incompetent foreign meddling. Trump's Folly. Playdates with Epstein. Trump's Criminality.
Democrat naivety of the Schummer kind reminds of a hockey game where only one side shows up with hockey sticks. They may win a protest vote in the mid-terms only to get their heads handed to them again in 2028. They still swing blindly at piñatas while the GOP competes at MMA. Weak leaders. No plan.
Why not if Muslims are devout worshipers who frequent mosques and Christians are irregular? A church is only a building with no active parishioners. The Brits who wank about this phenomenon likely identify as Christians who seldom attend church. The issue is more racial and cultural than religious.
Slogan: Make slush. Melt ICE.
Sen. Fetterman, a Democrat in name only, praised Trump for attacking Iran last night because he favors regime change in Iran. Last summer, he was the only Dem to vote with Republicans to block Trump from using force against Iran. A political gadfly or a mental health case looking for a psychiatrist?
Yesterday, Pres. Clinton met with the House Oversight Comm. to testify about Epstein. Pundits mused, if Clinton, why not Trump who has the most mentions in the Epstein files. If Hillery Clinton, why not Melania, who was often seen with him. Last night, Iran was attacked. Distraction from Epstein?
Did Trump and his inner circle learn nothing from either Watergate or his own abysmal litigous history? Watergate proves a public issue, gross legal violation always withers as a cover-up is exposed layer by layer, and Trump's iconic judicial adventurism fails magnificently more often than not.
Would someone please make the case against terminating Hungary's membership in NATO and the EU so we can understand the reason(s) their persistenttly obstructive, Russian-leaning behaviors are tolerated? Orbán's cozy alignment with Putin is antithetical to NATO membership.

If Vance is the Republican choice in 2028 because for the GOP winning an extention of power trumps high morals and noble character, he will be judged only for his winability, to the exclusion of other traits such as racism, mysogyny, cruelty, and corruption, just as they did in 2016, 20, and 24.
In term 1, Trump's southern border fence and his policy of separating children from their mothers was Trump's Folly, and Pence was a silent Christian. In term 2, inflationary tariffs and brutal domestic violence that masks racial cleansing is Trump's Folly, and Vance is a zellous cheerleader. 1/2
Note Justice Barratt closed her eyes as Trump passed, presumably so she didn't have to look at him. It appears Trump, by his course speech and outlandish behaviors, has exhausted whatever goodwill she may have previously held out to him because he nominated her to SCOTUS.
Before Trump made that claim at the SOTU address last night, the EU announced it is putting the tariff agreement it has negotiated with the administration on hold until they get clarification from the US about the impact, if any, the SCOTUS decision has on the tariff agreement.
What does that mean? Where appropriate? Trump needs to consult a Ouiji board in order to make a determination. SCOTUS ruled last week Trump has no authority to levey tariffs which is to say, any tarriff he imposes will be by definition, inappropriate and non-binding on exporters and importers alike.
