Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

Article 25 (3)(e) of the statute establishing the International Criminal Court criminalizes incitement to genocide. If someone can walk into the United Nations and say this, they’re daring the court to act.

Trucks use diesel. Trains use diesel. Ships use diesel. The price of diesel affects everything in our economy. All because of a vanity war stated by a malignant narcissist. When are we going to get rid of this POS?

If we had a real Congress, this would trigger Congressional investigations. If we had a real Dept of Justice, this would trigger prosecutions. If we had a real political system, this would trigger a massive public outcry and rebellion.

Trump says he will cut off all trade entirely with "some nations" unless the Fed lowers interest rates. How does that even make sense? And who does this nitwit - in his delusionally defective brain - even think he is threatening?

Trump used the presidency to wipe out his own real estate debt while adding trillions to ours. If any worker did this with company funds, they'd be in handcuffs. The Oval Office has clearly become a personal ATM for him. #CorruptTrumpRegime

In Missouri, GOP officials argue that swapping election maps between the primaries and the midterms will confuse voters. But in Texas, Republicans are doing exactly that. For GOP leaders, the issue seems to be less about voter impact and more about how much their candidates will or won’t benefit.
