Personally I think I would be thankful for someone(s) to leak Jack Smith's report and the Epstein files for Thanksgiving!

The House and Senate needs to submit STAND ALONE BILLS. None of this bullshit that sneaks in other bills that they KNOW would never pass if it was a STAND ALONE BILL.

Mike Rogers and Donald Trump think that their proximity to power is worth more than your ability to live your life. It’s why we have to stand up to Bad Men…

Swear to God having the broadcast of the Felon paid for by our tax dollars go on during the Viking game is way past my toletance level. Turned it off and will simply use the radio. Enough is enough!!! This is sports and for a lot of us it is our escape from the insanity!!!

The Felon who grifts and violates the Hatch Act involves us in war at the request of another leader under indictment w/o Congressional approval. He is unethical and immoral as are his chosen Cabinet. Our shame is the elevation of Putin, blaming Ukraine & bullying our allies. Leaders no longer!!!

The Big 10 refs in the Westerni Mich vs Mich game should never be on the field again. The clock was plainly visible...game over! Western Mich got hosed. I had no dog in this fight but the clock was plainly visible to everyone watching and the "win??" for Michigan is tainted!

At 82 there are some times I look in the mirror and think what in hell happened to my life. Now more often than not I listen to the news, listen to people pontificate, watch the country spiriling and think how in the hell did we get here.

What the heck is NBC doing?? Ted Cruz just got 20 minutes os self promotion about his plans, his book lauding Clarence Thomas and side-eyeing of "Democratic Socialist" candidate in Texas. Ted Cruz is all hot air and Meet the Press should be embarrased.

Donald J Trump is an abuser. He abuses the Exexutive Powers he holds as President. Lake is America/Gulf of America! The WA Monument, the Reflecting Pool. His Hero Garden, the Kennedy Center, the East Wing. The Pardon Power and the Constitutional Separation of Powers. He is a disaster for us all.

How about a column in all newspapers and a segment on the evening news titled " Daily Lies-Trump & Cabinet". Running total since back in office. There are so many it is hard to keep count and easy to miss some. Come on...help us out here!!!

I cannot be the only person who is frustrated, unnerved and attacks, and angry at the Main Stream Media both television/ radio and newspapers completely bending down and capitulaing to the Felon and his minions. No strong questioning, no immediate corrections and no pushback on personal. Enough!!

I am sick and tired of sports teams...any sport male or female awarding jerseys medals or rings to someone who was not a member of the team. They did not earn that and should not have them. They cheapen their accomplishment and de-value their fans.

Banning some media from WH briefings..media not allowed in the Pentagon..attacks and lawsuits against mainstream & print reporting. The Correspondants Dinner was a pathetic joke with no purpose in the current environment. The Felon had a bully pulpit provided by the people he is trying to erase.

Question from little 'ol me: How is it that budgeted funds from one area of government authorized to be spent in one specific area can be arbitralily be transferred (borrowed?) to another area without the transfer being approved by the original congess purpose. Slight of hand no transparency.

Todd Blanche just said under oath in committe that "I and this administration will always support police and not the criminal". I call B.S. when pardons for the Jan 6th convicted felons were Trump's very first pardons. He is Trump's toady and not our country' AG. No confirmation.

The Governor (& voters) of Ky have the right to know if McConnell is capable of performing his sworn duties. Is he on life support, is he on oxygen, is he intubated, is there brain activity, is he being "kept comfortable". It is simple: these answers are necessary for the House and all of us.

So there is a bill introdu ed to limit the Supreme to 18 year term limits. How about they also add provisions for retirement at age (say 72) and an ironclad Ethics Rule.....signed upon appointment by the Senate with provision for immediate removal when violated.

Oh my...King Charles is giving a subtle timely reminder of the importance of the bedrock ideals of the Magna Carta. Of it's continued value and need within our own country. The King is erudit and calmly forceful with his words. I hope our leaders listen well and take them to heart.

Maria Machado may have deserved the Nobel when it was awarded. Wiser men/women with more info than me made that decision. Instead of treasuring, honoring, maintaining her mission she devalued and dimished her acheivement and the efforts of her supporters. Cowardly action for personal power.

Today the rabid right wingers are unhinged about the newest Heisman winner respectfully addressing his Abuelas in their native tongue. He was honoring them in a personal emotional way. All else was done in English -which they also understand! Bravo to the young man and his family!!!

So today the Trump/putin says: Ukraine cedes territory...they are limited in weapons development and purchase...they cannot join NATO....NATO cannot expand at all. I am ashamed that this proposal is even remotely possible. We deserve the ridicule of the world for our failure to support Ukraine.

I love the Nightly News with David Muir on ABC. But not enough to continue supporting a corporation willing to capitulate undermining the right of free speech. Especially when it seems there is an apparent quid pro quo that benefits them. For the same reason I stay off CBS.

Trump campaigned to "Drain the Swamp". What he did was open the sewers! We now have incompetent, bigoted, narrow minded elected officials and cabinet members whose only qualifications are syncophancy, deep pockets, greed and no concept of the value of history or the needs of our society.

Quit referring to our military soldiers as warriors. There is a difference between the two...organization, training, purpose. Often defined as service to country as in defence. As opposed to faith as in personal beliefs. Names matter as does the motivation.

Trump comparing Putin's aggression to 2 school kids fighting is idiocy. Comparrison should be big bully invading your home, taking it over, destroying what you have built and blaming you for the whole situation because"no one stops him! And neighbors/friends offer minimal help.

NATO is not inviting Zelinsky to the June meeting to "appease Teump". This is ridiculous; after all it was Trump lobbying to exit NATO our strongest ally. Suck it up NATO ...F47 will be gone and NATO must have integrity.

Unbelievable! F47 schmozzing with his "big buck buddies and cabinet" in Saudi Arabia after a fighter escort prior to landing. This is the man who ordered the butchering of an American reporter....MBS is a murderer and now Trump is cozying up to him probably some personal gain.
