The man who deliberately destroyed the Bonwit Teller friezes back in the day when he was merely a New York real estate mogul would have no trouble destroying this building now that he is the SCOTUS-anointed king of the United States.

I've already called Durbin, Duckworth, and my Congressman.

Sounds almost right. However, not delineated in the Constitution but as declared by the Sleazy 6.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

What is wrong with this administration? Why would this even concern them?

Iranian hackers published Patel's emails. So, hackers, why aren't you publishing the unredacted Epstein files? Or are you trying to protect victims by redacting their names?

🇬🇧 WATCH: “CORRUPTION OF THE VERY WORST KIND.” UK politicians point out the obvious insider trading where people (likely close to Trump) are getting rich off of Trump’s posts about the war. And nobody will investigate. Trump’s golden age of corruption. He is the swamp.

Sounds exactly like this worst, most incompetent, most vile of administrations.

Pathetic -- Trump has no knowledge or understanding of the issues in the Middle East; his only interest is in whatever benefits him personally, and his obsession with his ballroom

Crazy we don't talk about Bill Barr's father hiring an unqualified Jeffrey Epstein to teach children at Dalton, Barr publicly auditioning to become AG, how Epstein was only arrested & prosecuted AFTER Michael Wolff's revelations re Trump & Epstein or how Jeff was in Barr's DOJ custody when he died

So Trump is meeting with his boss on Friday. Wonder what Putin's orders will be? There was a time pre-2016 when the GOP supported our nation in foreign policy; but those days are long gone.

I am so confused. Is the Mamdani victory supposed to herald shariah law imposed on all or to Communism destroying our nation? Can someone tell me which disaster will befall us thanks to his winning the Democratic nomination?

Whether it's Donald Trump permitting white refugees but banning minorities, or Kamala Harris being born to a Black father and an Indian mother, both sides have forced the divisive topic of race upon the American public.

Today we mourn the death of a truly good and great man, a man of compassion and love. May the memory of Pope Francis be for a blessing for the entire world.

It is truly criminal and an outrage that the Trump administration sent a group of immigrants, most of whom haven't been charge with any crimes, to our outsourced concentration camp in El Salvador. And the administration ignores court orders to return Kilmar Ábrego García.

Bill Ackman complains because he was blind-sided by Trump's obsession with tariffs, a policy that threatens him directly. He and other Trump-supporting plutocrats are fine with fascism, but heaven forbid that they lose money. They are all truly vile people and here's hoping they lose it all.

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.

Great thread that supports what I have been asserting for weeks: Musk cancelled USAID deliberately to kill millions of Africans from starvation and disease because he is a racist who hates people of color. He and Trump will go down in history as the biggest mass murderers of the early 21st century.

To all who celebrate: wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, surrounded by family and friends. And to everyone: a very Happy New Year! May 2025 be a year of happiness, good health, and prosperity for you and yours.

Let's never forget the prediction of the late great Steve Silberman. And with the outbreak of bird flu here and a new mysterious lethal disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the appalling nominations for health positions in the Trump administration -- it may come to pass again:

Lawyers out there -- a question... Based on my reading of the 22nd Amendment, it seems to have a fatal flaw. The restriction to 2 terms applies only to those elected to the office. What would prevent a VP from resigning and being replaced by a person who previously served 2 terms?

If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

Hopefully I have finally learned my lesson: I can be overly pedantic and literal -- and it does not go well if I appear to contradict the point someone is making when their overall concept is right but I am quibbling with details.

One area in which the Netanyahu government and Hamas are in full agreement: neither cares about the suffering and harm done to the civilians in Gaza. Hamas, of course, has never cared about the well-being of the citizens in Gaza.

For all those who believe that Biden will decisively defeat Trump, remember that even without voter disenfranchisement, a candidate who received 70% of the vote can lose thanks to the electoral college. Not a likely result but possible.
