If you can’t talk politics, religion, social issues, etc with your spouse, what do you talk about? If your kid asks you a question about what is happening in America, what do you say?
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”
For a guy who doesn’t drink, Trump surely does like to hire and associate with a host of alcoholics and drug addicts.
Can anyone comment on who would have standing to sue to block a self dealing payout?
Hungary lesson: Don’t debate Trump on policy. Name the corruption—and threat to democracy. Connect it to people’s lives. $3,800/household from tariffs. $2.5B gutted from the CDC. Billions in Trump family crypto profits while your grocery bill climbs and your kid’s school loses funding.
I thought he would just ask Marco. Better yet, maybe he will ask his friend Viktor if he would like a job.
Praise be
Trump was never good with math. He has killed the revenue side of the equation and increased the expense side. This just means more deficits and debts.
The rich get richer and America gets poorer
Yes - he had the greatest year ever as it was his best year at grifting, ever. Billions in wealth for him while destroying the US institutions he hates and at the same time having people bow down to him constantly to satiate his narcissism.
The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about "fear" of the Trump Administration, but doesn't mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't! don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don't want a Pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don't want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I'm doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn't on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo's Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It's hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it's hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J.
Behold the deranged, mentally failing fascist who somehow believes he is a prophet while killing thousands and putting innocent men, women and children in cages.

We too can rid ourselves of authoritarians
In a massive political shift with far reaching implications, Orban is out. That said, Fox News has nothing posted about it. They do have a story on Ivanka Trump’s living arrangement.
Time to read the tea leaves…
He is busy with his other jobs - shoe shiner and ass kisser!
Philz stopped being the local coffee shop when PE acquired them. The progressive cafe out on the avenues in SF is long gone.
A true long shot but democrats would need to do it 2x as Vance would need to be removed too. He is a bad man. He is active participant in the fascist takeover attempt.
When the goal is to destroy institutions and fuel a fascist takeover, all of these fine choices make sense.
Wonder if the rest of NATO will call Trump a paper tiger and step in and negotiate a real cease fire using tactics and strategies that actually work!
I am not a Bibi fan (war criminal) but he must be pissed today. MBS, another POS and murderer, must be as well.
The Middle East is not safer today. Iran, if anything, will come out of this stronger and will be back to their terror campaigns in no time.
Trump sees $ so screw everyone else
It would be quite amusing if Iran thanked Trump for being a taco and then indicated they agreed to nothing.
I imagine they won’t as they also know they are dealing with an irrational actor and don’t want to be nuked.
We surely do live in some fucked up times.
In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:
Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.
Hi @markey.senate.gov - I live in MA. I don’t think we can wait for impeachment articles. What can Congress do to convince cabinet it is time to use 25 amendment.
And Republicans view this as a simple negotiation tactic? Genocide, total world disaster.
Iran seems to be calling his bluff, he is backed into a corner and he is not all there so he is a danger to world humanity.
Republicans need to remove him today or the military needs to refuse orders!
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
Let me get this straight - a man who has dementia is threatening total annihilation if Iran doesn’t do a deal and R’s think this is just a negotiation tactic. What if Iran doesn’t agree - R’s are willing to take that chance and put the world on a path to total disaster?
They are digging their own graves if they do this. This will become just another crack in the regime, another reason to vote them out in 7 months.
Everything they touch turns into a disaster / shit show.

I think right now many of the elected ones have more risk than reward for staying loyal. If they were rational, they would throw in the towel knowing what is going to happen. A bunch have chosen not to run again but few have spoken up and even less have used their vote to signal a need for change
I still do not get the power dynamics of the cabinet and R’s. Is it truly a crime syndicate where people are threatened? Do they just enjoy the power and freedom to be horrible people that Trump offers them? They all should know how it ends, there are bodies. Cutting bait seems more logical
