I wonder if this means that she can’t continue taking a full salary & benefits on the taxpayers’ dime?

I think one reason that the Ugli Orange Fruit has suddenly changed his tune about mail in voting is because of the USPS new rules that will slow down mail delivery. There are many arrows in Ugli’s quiver to create election mayhem & election officials (& all of us) need to be on high alert.

Call me negative, but when it comes to divining trump’s motives, I believe that he may be crass & amoral but not as stupid as we may believe. IMHO, all this fawning over dictators is in the hope that when accountability comes calling, he can repair to China, etc. without fear of extradition.

Trump’s new description of his triumphal arch as a weapon laden perch for snipers & drone launchpad sounds like a trojan horse except without the surprise element. Smart.

Ever since Trump asked the crowd to swear to cheat to get out the vote, I’ve been trying to recall where I saw a similar farce…finally I got it - in a scene from the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon gets drunk, reveals top secret information, & then makes the bar patrons pinky swear to secrecy. Anyone?

I also need to renew my passport but will not because I cannot stomach the idea that the orange blob would be visible on it.

Like her spouse she could care less about the people in this country (other than Baron and the billionaires). Didn’t she have a jacket that said as much?

House Republicans need to regurgitate most of their 2025 and 2026 salaries because of failing to show up to do the People’s work. They took taxpayer money without doing the job for which they were paid. This should be a line item on The Accountability To Do List .

To all the smiling, laughing women standing behind him in Dallas as he tried to bribe you to vote and followed that up with encouragement to cheat- this photo illustrates how he really feels about you.

What a revolting excuse for a human being the president is. He can’t be bothered with anything that doesn’t star him.

He’s so stupid and/or ignorant that he doesn’t realize that he sounds like a mad king/dictator. (I guess the other option is he doesn’t care - but he should because accountability will be coming for him soon.)

My tax law background qualifies me to say that there are some easy legislative tax fixes that can slow or stop the proliferation of billionaires in this country & blunt the impact of the benefits to huge corporations of the TCJA (hopefully, the fixes can be done in a veto proof way).

If this continues, no reliable news agency will be allowed access to news! This has to stop now. I hope that some reliable news from foreign news agencies at the G20 will make its way to this country. Canada - Great Britain- help!

Thank you for this clip - it’s so uplifting! Sadly, in the last second of the clip, mama looks around as if afraid someone might take her baby away again. This must be how non-documented parents feel if they miraculously get their kids out of ICE prisons (weep worthy).

I clerked for a judge when I was in law school. At that time, I decided that being a judge may not be all it’s cracked up to be, but most judges want to do the right thing. My respect has turned to pity for the judges today that have to hear lindell cases and the like…

As someone who is yoked to the desatan administration here in FL, are echoing my dearest wish. Oh, and let’s talk about the $$$ he made from insurance cos. for shepherding through “tort reform” legislation.

I’m shocked that Warsh survived to make the veiled “threat” to raise rates given that he was trump’s pick to lower rates (just kidding- everyone - but trump -knows that the fed’s board of governors - not just the chairman - makes such decisions en masse).

As a FL resident, I always have been disgusted with Rick Scott. I have never been a Desantis fan or supporter and the news of this confirms what I always thought about him. If the trump administration is Cosa Nostra North, the Desantis administration is Cosa Nostra South.

Someone needs to force feed his raw milk to him, put him in the stocks in the public (of a major city closest to where his family & friends reside) and allow the public to watch him for a day or so (and give him more raw milk if he gets thirsty). What a vile excuse for a human being.

I agree with you (just when you think our absurd reality couldn’t become more so), but you should read Borowitz’s comedic take on Eric Trump having a hissy fit over Natalie Harp’s lack of qualifications. It just might get you through the night.
