If we are saved from this horror, it will be because Dems in some red states knew how to fight.

I bought something from Germany on line. I received it, and now am being charged an "import tax" (I guess tariff). Am I alone in this? Scam? Paperwork mentions the DHS so I want to cower before the monster properly.

SCOTUS uses the "emergency" docket to stay and effectively knock out as many good legal opinions from the lower courts as it can, but it can't kill all of them. (SCOTUS are 2/3rds (6/9ths) scum, traitors, morally bankrupt).

When Trump's shills were able to see the Epstein files, they saw there were more MAGA/GOPs than Dems, so they chose on balance that it was better to protect pedophiles after all. Burn in hell Dennis Hastert.

I’ve never seen this exact photo of Donald Trump, Melania Trump, former Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell. This is directly from Getty Images. I’ve obviously seen others, but this one is like a Where’s Waldo?

Trump will keep the war going at some level until after a democrat president is elected and then blame him for ending the war badly.

The UN: "The US was the ONLY nation to vote "NO" against ensuring & strengthening worldwide access to justice for all women & girls. The resolution passed with 37 yes votes, 6 countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Congo, Egypt, Mali, Mauritania & Saudi Arabia) abstained." Good company, huh? Vote Blue!

The show of the ICE raids is better, from Trump's perspective, than the American people see overly armed unnecessarily scary men knocking on doors and the victims meekly going off to these horrible places that are paying Trump or the boys. That would look bad.

Re Epstein: Victims were drugged up kids who can't, for the most part, ID abusers. The papers don't contain confessions or the necessary corroborating evidence. The abusers will not be prosecuted, and the only retribution will be their shaming.

The media should cover the GOP in Congress like a hostage situation. Whether the hostages re innocent is another question. Why they don't want to save themselves is the weird thing; I suspect they feel guilty for what they let happen.

We are sick: entertained by cartoons (i.e. Marvel; terrible TV - check out recent British TV instead), like to play a losing game (gambling in casinos or on line), where we punish "others" for giving us what we want (drugs, loans), and beat up on the defenseless immigrants who do the hard work.

Our press has figured out the line over which they cross only when they are ready to be subjected to abuse. It gives the bad guys a big playground with bad stuff that doesn't get reported, or is reported only marginally.

The only rational explanation is that Trump is trying to destroy America. (jobs, inflation, corruption, war, encouraging general cruelty, destruction of our military and soft power, starving the poor, helping only the rich, you can keep going but I'm tired).

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

That Trump is consciously trying to destroy the country is the only explanation that explains pretty much all of the significant stuff he does (I don't need to list them), and it is shameful that the media does not discuss that as even a possibility when it talking about events as they occur.

This has been a period of tragedy and deep disappointment as the hateful reality of so many Americans and the cowardice of so many elected officials has been exposed. But it also clarifies the collective work we must pursue to build an inclusive democracy based on equality and justice. LFG.

The slush fund was set up by contract. All contracts state that they can be altered by agreement of both parties, and both sides have to sign a document altering the contract. So: what does the contract now say(was the original text ever released?); and did Trump sign it, or someone sign for him.

Donald Trump still has absolutely no idea what he was trying to do, how he was going to do it, why he wasn't able to do it, or what he's going to do next to try to fix what he has no idea he broke. He's a delusional, crackbrained, and deranged moron. It's just that simple.
