Hey Seth, this morning wines about the fact that Biden was sending arms to Ukraine while Trump uses them against Iran and withhold them from Ukraine. He is an idiot. Does he not realize that Ukraine is killing Russians in record numbers ? Who is our enemy in the big picture as a threat to the US

Joe Scarborough and Sean Hannity agree on a ridiculous immigration policy-deport all undocumented with the right to apply for legal entry, What sane person, with job, business and family in US would abandon his/her family when the chance of re-entry is practically Zero. Trump is discouraging H1B

General, I always enjoy your insights. On MS NOW today you attributed "seeing the elephant" to Kipling. I believe that is incorrect, and that phrase is American, dating at least to the Civil War.

It is my understanding that being an undocumented immigrant in this country is a civil offense, and not a misdemeanor or a felony

42 million Americans rely on snap. If the shutdown continues, the emergency snap benefits account will expire at the end of November.

The only saving grace of this is that the December vote when it comes, we’ll make it crystal clear that the Republicans are responsible for terminating the healthcare subsidies, and that combined with the Medicaid cuts, 15 million people will be without healthcare.

I thought I would try watching Kaitlyn Collins on CNN tonight. She gave the Mike to speaker Johnson for 20 minutes to lie and misrepresent the position of the Democrats regarding the shutdown. It was disgusting. She looked like she was tongue, tied and mute.

Lost in this discussion is the fact that the Republicans passed the OBBB with no democratic votes and no negotiation despite the fact that the margins in both houses are historically low and the presidential race historically close. The country is 50-50 so this is the only opportunity for Democrats

Mikie- you are losing the messaging battle. No one believes you will lower energy costs or that the GOP guy will raise taxes. Mamdani's campaign is brilliant: I will fight to lower cost of living and, most importantly, I WILL NOT SUCK UP TO TRUMP. Say it over and over. Do not dilute the message.

Right on governor. The cruelty is the point. Dams should be attacking Trump himself and the chaos and pain he causes millions every day . Making healthcare subsidies. The issue is itself a major compromise. He is underwater on every major issue Rick Wilson said it this morning “Trump is bad,“

Lefty Frizell @ernesto99.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
Chuck Schumer has to immediately stop talking about his goal of “compromise“ it sounds very much like he doesn’t really care about the healthcare issue. Democrats need to listen to Rick Wilson. Americans are already primed to believe that Trump equals chaos Trump’s use of public funding= more chaos

This is so freaking obvious to anyone who has two eyes and a-brain. Putin wants Ukraine. And will not stop unless he is stopped or unless he gets Ukraine everything that he has done and said, and in every way, he has acted has proven this beyond question. Trump is a fool and an idiot.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Joe Scarborough and Chris Matthews. There was no imminent threat. The Intel says they were not working toward a bomb. Diplomacy and negotiation is the only way to prevent Iran. So this bombing was a big show and waste of time. Israel just likes to bomb Iranians

The only reason he was charged was second-degree murder is that in Minnesota it requires a grand jury indictment to charge first-degree murder. He will be charged with first-degree murder in due course.

Instead, Trump calls for Putin to be readmitted to the G8. He was thrown out during the Obama administration when he invaded Crimea and occupied part of Ukraine.

Surprise surprise, surprise the cold blooded murder in Minnesota was a white nationalist Christian

Imagine. Putin was thrown out of the GA for illegally invading Ukraine and occupying Crimea. Today Trump called for Putin to be readmitted to the G8, despite the fact that he is killing civilians, children, bombing hospitals and schools as we speak.

Iran its military capability have been totally degraded over the last several years because of American sanctions and weapons. Deservedly so because Iran has not discontinued support for terrorist like TheHouthis Hezbollah, and Hamas So Israel with US weapons will slaughter tens of thousands

The United States Army with its long and wonderful tradition deserves recognition for it’s 250th anniversary. It was actually created before the country. What the army did not deserve to see it’s celebration polluted by the vain and vulgar celebration of Trump’s 79th birthday.

2000 sites of protest in the United States and the only one where there’s confrontation with law-enforcement is in Los Angeles. Is it coincidental that Los Angeles is where the Marines and National Guard have been federalized to put down protest?

At the pressor yesterday, Trump said that the world needs us and our markets, but we do not need theirs. At the same time, he whines about the balance of trade. He seems to not understand that if we simply buy things from other countries, the balance of trade can never be balanced. It’s idiotic.

There is way too much coverage of the pole numbers. They really mean nothing. There is not enough coverage of the slaughter in Gaza and the slaughter of innocent civilians in Ukraine. This should be on the front page. Every single day politicians need to make this high priority.Trump will fold.

Lefty Frizell @ernesto99.bsky.social · 30/04/2025
Trump’s tariff insanity has blown smoke over some really important issues. Why is the slaughter in Gaza not front page news every day in America? Why is Putin‘s slaughter of Ukrainian citizens not front page news all across America why are the politicians not addressing and screaming every day?

Lefty Frizell @ernesto99.bsky.social · 28/04/2025
Democrats should demand support for Ukraine on the air every single day they should refer to the kidnapping of 20,000 children and the continued slaughter of innocent civilians in Ukraine. They should be behind Americans every day that Putin is a international criminal, a liar, a monster

What the Democrats need now is something like the contract with America from the GOP 94 campaign. They need to lay out in bullet points what they would do if they had power Support Ukraine as much as possible until Putin is defeated Deport all criminal immigrants, but protect families of all kinds

The Supreme Court granted immunity to Donald Trump from criminal proceedings based on acts taken within his executive authority. Seems to me that the extortion racket against Harvard and the law firms is beyond the scope of his authority. Moreover, I think there are civil suits that could be filed .

As a lawyer, I am disheartened by the number of lawyers involved in the lawlessness of the Trump administration, just as I was during Watergate when lawyers like John Mitchell betrayed their oath of allegiance to the law. Pam Bondy may not go to jail as John Mitchell did, but I hope she does.

Trump’s failure on the economy has one redeeming value: it touches every American and the Maga crowd, and certainly the non-Maga Trump voters will realize that he is an incompetent criminal and a malignant narcissistic sociopath. When this sinks in, we might save the constitution

Of course Putin is a war. Criminal found by the international court of Justice. His status is what it is for one reason: Trump loves the guy and wants to be like him knowing this, 77 million Americans voted for Trump.

Very important that Dan take advantage of the Abrego Garcia case to push for immigration reform. Quinnipiac Paul says 95% of Americans opposed deportation of persons with American spouses, 85% oppose immigration of gainfully employed immigrants. This forms the basis of immigration reform
031
Lefty Frizell @ernesto99.bsky.social · 16/04/2025
Recent Quinnipiac polll finds that 95% of Americans would oppose deportation of a man gainfully employed in the US with a American family dependent on him. Media and politicians need to think ahead Trump will deport this guy to whomever will accept him.

Lefty Frizell @ernesto99.bsky.social · 16/04/2025
Joe Scarborough tone deaf once again. Suggest that Abrego Garcia should be deported to some country other than El Salvador. Neglecting the fact that he is the husband of an American citizen and the father of two American children. 95% of Americans according to Quinnipiac oppose deportation like this

I just learned from Rachel Maddow that my alma mater Rutgers University took the lead in suggesting that the Big Ten form a joint and mutual defense to the inevitable assault by the Trump administration on academic freedom. I was fearful of what would happen . But I’m quite proud.

The Nazis knew That what they were doing, was contrary to international law, and contrary to German law, as normally understood and German traditions. They did not want to commit slaughter of human beings on German soil. They deemed Poland, a more suitable place to commit international crime.

How can the contract not include a provision that any person delivered to El Salvador will be returned upon request of the United States? The US government should demand his return.

Lefty Frizell @ernesto99.bsky.social · 15/04/2025
Facilitate: why doesn’t it include a formal demand by the US government that this individual be returned and or surrendered to US custody at the airport or at the Embassy or wherever. I don’t agree that a request which implies that refusal is acceptable. How can the contractbetween US and Salvador?
