There was a time when I thought Jill stein might be on to something, but I soon realized that she was just on something, and it wasn't good. Her dinner with Vladimir Putin and Michael Flynn tells you all you need to know about her.

Trump is incapable of admitting defeat so the war must go on, many more must die and more money must be wasted. The people who have the power to make him stop lack the courage and the integrity to do so.

Just lost any chance at redemption in my book. No reason to subscribe to his Substack or watch his YouTube.

Obviously, Stephen Miller has way too much free time on his hands and limited brain cells available for his use.

Sounds like my grandmother, a John Birch Society Republican, who believed you were either a Republican or a communist.

But if she did read it, she would probably be "very concerned."

Just complaining about a self- inflicted injury. When Roberts and his accomplices on the court act in an overtly political manner, he has no reason to expect the American people won’t see what is right in front of them.

Sounds like he's beginning to understand that this "excursion" will not be over quickly, and that it may take a few years to get to a resolution. Wonder if his base will stick with him that long.

Trump doesn’t care because he is not directly affected by the anticipated causalities. This is Israel’s fight, not ours, and only Israel stands to directly benefit from regime change in Iran. Notice that Trump didn’t offer anything other than encouragement to the Iranians. No commitment=no support.

Strange that I had to provide 2 documents to prove my US citizenship when I got my Real ID, but that same Real ID is not proof of citizenship under the SAVE Act. Make that make sense please!

But in America we have a tradition that the children of the wealthy and the politically connected are not expected join the military. Leadership is a duty for European royalty, but not here.

NBC’s action to drown out the crowd, coupled with Llamas’ softball interview of Trump shows that NBC has surrendered its journalistic integrity and betrayed the American people.

All my great-grandparents were immigrants from Ireland, Wales, England, France and Germany. I’m a true American mongrel, and proud of my heritage.

And now we wait to see if Schumer has the spine to hold out for all three demands or folds if he gets part of one.

You’re assuming the DHS is interested in accountability.

The message is “don’t believe what you see, believe those who have something to hide.” When they turn poorly trained and poorly supervised street thugs loose, these things are bound to happen, and all the perpetrators must be held to account.

Robert Gill @rpgill.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
As long as the Democratic leadership is afraid to take decisive action in the face of a regime that pretends that street thugs are law enforcement, they show that they do not deserve a position of responsibility in government. I will vote accordingly.

When Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General, was in Congress a Virginia Republican Congressman insisted he was not legally sworn in because Ellison took his oath on the Quran instead of the Bible. Same bigotry, different Republican.

Another example how adults can trigger a malevolent and deranged man-child to show who he really is.

Just one more example to add to the pile of reasons for replacing both of them with Democrats with a backbone to led the party into the future.

Watch the Supreme Court tie itself in knots trying to disguise a theological position as one grounded in the Constitution.

I drive a Camry and never paid more than $35 to fill it up under Biden. But I don’t expect our media to report the truth when it is much easier to just repeat Republican talking points.

Sadly,the new management at MS NOW seems to be pushing for equivocation and “both-sidism” in their reporting. A few of their anchors still do credible work but the network is not what it used to be. Sure this will show up in their ratings at some point.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that a state could enforce a subpoena for evidence in an active federal criminal investigation. Unlikely that any federal judge would rule in the state’s favor and a ruling by a state judge would be unenforceable under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

And NBC News is no better, reporting the story from the government’s perspective. Tom Llamas is a joke as a journalist.

They obtained the right to extract and sell the oil, but they paid royalties to the government that retained ownership of the oil. In other words, it never was our oil.

The real question is whether CBS will be Fox-like or paragons of “bothsideism.” Either way I won’t be watching.

Guess those of us who are not Christians are no longer full-fledged citizens of the United States entitled to the protection of the Constitution and the laws of this nation. Going to get interesting.

The coverup is in full force and out in the open. Can we now say that the wheels are coming off the clown car that is the DOJ?

Especially since being “Republican-lite” has worked so well at getting permanent majorities.😁

And so that he can avoid future fines when his companies violate EU laws and regulations. And maybe he wants a refund on the €140 million Xitter just got fined.

Simply because the President cannot be prosecuted for an “official” act does not make the act legal. Accountability for carrying out an illegal order remains. The Nuremberg precedents remain in force. Just following orders is not an acceptable defense.

I live in Georgia and I suspect you’re right. Dani Willis was not removed for her ethical lapses, and that is clearly what they were, but for going after prominent Republicans. Our Republican-controlled Supreme Court is not always apolitical.

Even a basic understanding of economics would tell you that the $2,000 check is a fantasy (like the $5,000 check from DOGE), and the 50 year mortgage is just a windfall for bankers.

Obvious fake, just like every other story about Trump working on something to replace the ACA, lower grocery and energy prices, etc.

@schumer.senate.gov if you and the Democrats cave to the Republicans on their latest healthcare payment scheme, you will have proven to the American people that you are unworthy of leadership and cannot be trusted with governing either.

All the "terrorism" is state-sponsored, not the Democrats or what Miller/Trump call antifa. They are trying desperately to drag us down their fascist try rabbit hole.

ICE does not recruit the best. They go for those who feel constrained by regular law enforcement agencies. So you get those who would get charged with excessive force in the normal course of events. The best don't work for ICE. Watch their recruiting commercials and see for yourself.

So Hakeem Jefferies praises Eric Adams when Adams finally realizes his reelection hopes are futile. Jefferies says he'll have more to say soon about the NYC mayoral race. I suspect the best we can hope for is neutrality, but I wouldn't be surprised if he endorses Cuomo. Jefferies has to go!

A lot of things are shut down, but not Congress. This claim is not patently false.

The truth is not with these ones. Neither Trump nor Kennedy are scientists and neither is credible on any subject. Which means our traditional media will slavishly report on every word they say as if it is newly revealed truth.

The military chain of command is comfortable for the same reason media owners are. They value their position and power more than they value their honor and integrity.
