When Trump’s broke brain muses about Iran destroying San Diego does he think that reads as a woke city to a Nebraska crowd or does he really fantasize about losing 100,000 active duty military on his watch?

Lost in professional clown Eric Schmitt’s buffoonery is that even if Mr. Smith went to Atlanta to watch a basketball game, that s a far cry from meeting with the troubled Atlanta prosecutor, and still had nothing to do with the mountains of evidence against Trump the investigation found.

Gov. Newsom has vetoed a strengthening of CA’s shield law that would have further protected abortion providers & facilitators from extradition, & extended reciprocal protections to out-of-state providers traveling to CA. Californians who care about repro freedom should be angry about this.

There was 0:00 on the clock when that ball was touched in Michigan. There is no justification for putting a second back in the clock.

Trump is sitting in the Oval Office trying to tell us that Canada is the enemy. Canada! What beef have we ever really had with Canada! Trump labels anyone who disagrees with him an enemy, and it should be clear to all that divisiveness has always been his weapon. Stop falling for it.

The “trade” demands the US made to Canada are embarrassing, especially for a country with heavily declining influence in the world. With USAide cut and Iran beating the US, why should any country listen to us any more?

Republicans fool their voters by saying they will do something then not doing it (I.e. get into new wars), or saying they will not do something then doing it (Project 2025). Jeffries saying he is against defunding police, abolishing the Senate, etc., without offering any solutions, is the same.

If Trump were the general in charge of the continental army, we’d be British. If Trump were the first president, we’d still be British after the war of 1812. If Trump were president during the civil war, we’d still be one nation because the South would have demolished the Union.

Trump’s sycophants will not invoke the 25th Amendment. We know their qualities, and they are lacking. This war was started and continues without Congressional authorization, and every single Congressperson who does not impeach or convict him will be just as culpable for the war crimes he threatens.

If it takes Iran for someone to finally say no to Trump, so be it. Sadly, Trump cares not for the American loves it will cost, let alone the lives of people from other countries. Israel, you think Trump’s your friend? He’ll leave you hanging as soon as it benefits him.

I understand the thought process of giving Trump a Nobel Peace prize medal to try to appease him to go easy on taking over your country, but the gap in logic is that the man is never appeased. He always wants more. The only way to stop him is to say no, yet nobody does that.
