Does anyone doubt Trump will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell before his term is up?

JD Vance’s comments about “Chinese peasants” reminds me of the 1963 movie, “The Ugly American.” Vance could easily be recast as the culturally clueless ambassador in a remake of this movie. No auditioning required.

Again Trump diverts attention from his disastrous tariffs by firing members of his national security team.

If only Republicans cared as much about protecting kids in school as they do about protecting Teslas.

Every decision by Trump is transactional and very personal. Raising the tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum today has nothing to do with economics or trade imbalance. It’s getting back at Canada for its leaders saying bad things about him personally.

Trump is now demonstrating on national TV why he is about to implode. Probably the most un-presidential conduct in history. The go between with Trump and Zelinski was dispicable.

Does Joe Biden get credit for creating 256,000 new jobs in December? Or is Trump going to say he is responsible for the increase because of his election?

Sen. Fetterman thinks visiting Trump will result in opening a dialogue with him about important issues. Trump could care less about Fetterman’s concerns and will only use him in a political toy to show Trump is open to “listening” to Democrats.

Of course Mat Gaetz is again taking a page out of Trump’s playbook. Deny. Deny. Deny. It never happened. All those women are lying. Sure Matt!

Can’t wait to see how the MAGA folks and Trump will handle the release of the Gaetz Ethics Report. Will Trump say he never really knew Gaetz very well?😂And will MAGA world say the report is “fake news?”🤣

#2 Continuing with “Monsters on Maple Street.” If fact there were aliens who landed on Maple Street. The ending scene were the aliens saying they can take over earth without firing a shot. Just let the earthlings turn on each other.🤷‍♂️

With all the conspiracy theories flying around, does anyone remember the TV Twilight Zone episode, “Monsters on Maple Street”? A kid in the neighborhood said aliens could be the cause of a recent flash across the sky. The neighbors then went nuts accusing each other of communicating with aliens😱

MAGA Republicans finally admit today that cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are on the table for serious consideration. So when does campaigning for the 2026 midterms begin?

For those concerned about the Hunter Biden pardon, this act will have a 72 hour life in the media until another thread like the Patel nomination gets all the attention. And just let the MAGA folks vent their false and laughable rage.

10. To be clear, DoJ didn't need the committee's stuff because they didn't do any work. They had all their interviews and they had to compare them with the J6 interviews because if there are inconsistencies, trump could use that to impeach DoJ witnesses. That's how Durham lost his case. 10/

9. Also meanwhile, we had Judge Cannon letting trump sue for a special master, which Garland fought and won. It was around that time he appointed Jack Smith. It was also around that time the J6 committee was refusing to give its stuff to DoJ. Stalling another three months. 9/

8. Meanwhile, the FBI was still pushing back, insisting they didn't want to execute a search warrant on Mar a Lago, but Garland pushed for the raid after the subpoena for the documents was obstructed. 8/

7. For the next year plus, 8 key witnesses in Garland's case were claiming executive privilege, so DoJ had to sue to force their testimony. Because of the court slow schedule, backed up from COVID and J6, this fight - which Garland won - took over a year. There would be no case without these 8. 7/

6. Garland then replaced the FBI CoS that kept stonewalling him, the trump holdover at DoJ resigned before he was investigated, and by February 2022, the FBI was finally playing ball. 6/

5. By the end of 2021, Garland was frustrated with the pace of the probe and found out that trump holdovers at DoJ and FBI were sandbagging his team's search warrants. Frustrated, Garland used post office cops and the IG to seize Clark, Eastman, and Perry's phones. 5/

4. By June, Garland created the "investigations unit". Not a bottom-up, boots on the ground only probe. This was an investigation that began with the Willard war room based on JP Cooney's idea and Garland explicitly said to follow it all the way to Trump if necessary. 4/

3. Garland got to the DoJ in March, but trump holdovers prevented JP Cooney from meeting with Garland to read him in on his investigation because these trump holdovers were trying to quash it. (Their names are Mike Sherwin and Steven D'Antuono.) 3/

2. During the first 3 months after the attack but before Garland got to DoJ, JP Cooney pushed to investigate the Willard War Room lieutenants and their connections to Trump, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys. 2/

Where do you think Trump & the GOP will cut from the budget to help pay for tax cuts for his billionaires big corporations, along with the mass deportations he promised? It won’t be from defense. They’ll take it from Social Security & healthcare. People who can least afford it will pay the price.

The Political Pendulum. I’m old enough to remember several swings of this pendulum. Extreme positions result in the swing going the other way. It’s just a matter of time with Trump.
