FFS! Has anyone counted the court orders this administration has blatantly violated? It’s becoming standard and should be the bases for impeachment and contempt. No core presidential power can be raised as a defense. Maybe others should start ignoring SCOTUS decisions.

"Trump’s delusions need to be challenged—relentlessly and repeatedly—by the press. … If not, the press’s access to the West Wing won’t be worth the paper its inevitable judicial victory will be printed on."

Don't let up on the Natalie Harp stories. It's driving Trump and Melania insane. Wasn't it inevitable that somewhere in the Trump presidency story, there'd be a soap opera plot. Our American Presidency is a world-wide joke. Because - Trump.

The lead for every network news broadcast should be the president falling asleep in the middle of a press conference in the Oval Office for the umpteenth time. But it won’t be and likely won’t be mentioned or shown. Again. What a joke network news is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Apparently there are ways to remove a FIFA president, and Infantino's actions fall within the guidelines. The FIFA Congress should vote and the FIFA Counsel an suspend. Time to think about those courses of action.

Dolan's Trump invite to the Knicks' playoff game shows no respect or love for the fans who support the team. The necessary security will inconvenience fans & wash out the street watch parties. All so Trump can watch on big screen from a skybox. Trump ruins everything.

Just thinking: Trump's DOJ indicted 94 year old Cuban President, Raul Castro, for downing two planes. I hope the courts remember that when Trump relies on his advanced age to avoid prison after he's indicted for killing over 100 people in small boats & every other crime he should be indicted for.

In fairness, naming a place that is not currently working and causing problems throughout the world after himself is as inadvertently introspective as Donald is ever going to get.

I believe John Gleeson is the same person who was appointed a friend to the court in the dismissal of Mike Flynn's case - because both Mike Flynn and the DOJ at the time were on the same side. I'm hoping we see something like this in the motion to vacate the charges against the Oath Keepers, too.

Melania's command of the language is so poor, and Trump's command of satire is non existent, that I think neither actually got the joke that pregnant women ( expectant mothers) are described as glowing - hence expectant widow described as glowing.

It’s amazing how many foreign news outlets think the “attack” last night was staged. It has all the earmarks. No real danger. No real chance the shooter could get close. No fear from Trump. Shooter not killed. Also, everyone moved quickly on Fais except Trump. Hmmmm.

Why isn't anyone questioning whether Trump writes his truth social garbage himself. He doesn't have the vocabulary or spelling skill to compose them, notwithstanding errors. What aide is forced to compose these posts? Can one schedule posts -,explaining why so many come out late at night?

Good on The Atlantic for continually posting its promo on the Kash Patel lunatic story in the wake of the federal complaint against it. It sends a strong message: "we've got the goods."

No point in reporting everything Trump says and posts. It's an exercise in frustration because you can't count on anything he says. He lies, he's uninformed, and he wings it-can't remember what he says from one interview to another. What if the press just stopped covering him for a few days?

Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages. Donald is such an uninformed idiot.

He wants the press for the filing the lawsuit to "protect his reputation," - and then, nothing more. I trust The Atlantic has the goods. The real question is why the President and DOJ don't care that he's a loose cannon and substance abuser.

The Roberts Court is the most corrupt and political in my lifetime, thanks to the extreme right wing Republicans, like Alito, the sexual harasser and moron Thomas, with a lot of help from another predator and drunk, Kavanaugh and a lift from Gorsuch. In 2028, Dems have to deal with this.
