so, if we impeach, convict, & remove Trump, jd vance will (temporarily, until we can impeach him) be the first president since 1913 with facial hair. Will that a) start a trend of presidents with facial hair, or b) be the last president with facial all hair for another 100+ years ?

Dear Dems and libs: Stop helping Republicans muddy differences between the parties on AI and data centers by acquiescing to the "bipartisan opposition" frame. Rs are laughing at you while polls show Rs now leading Ds on these issues. Instead, tie Rs directly to Trump's AI/data center malevolence.

As snake bitten, rushed, and as much of a humanitarian disaster the withdrawal from Afghanistan was, something that stuck with me is that Gen. Donahue was the last soldier to get on the plane, physically ensuring "no man left behind." I served under him in the 82nd. Ride or Die. True Leader.
As seen through green night vision, Major General Donahue in kit with a rifle steps onto the ramp of waiting aircraft. In doing so; he is the last service member to leave Afghanistan.

The top 1% made $4.5 TRILLION last year. They contributed just $103B to Social Security and Medicare. An effective payroll tax rate of 2.3%. Working class families contributed 9%. Because the payroll tax is arbitrarily capped at $184,500. Scrap the damn cap.

"The dichotomy of the UFC event is stark: a guy who lied, cheated and stole his way through life, watching fighters who could only get to the octagon by working for it. Trump will bask in the spotlight of an event paid for in sweat and blood that isn’t his-- and tax dollars that aren't his, either."

When you lay it all out, it's VERY clear what Trump has in mind. And it demands immediate planning and action to stymie his extralegal plans. Things like removing GOP judges and justices, denying appropriations, regular impeachment demands... Hoping normal means will suffice is deranged.
