Agreed, the next two years will be rife with apologies for enabling Trump to have destroyed US government and reputation. All those changing spots will be long dead before the US is back on a respectable footing. I'll be dead too, but in the meantime, I'll resist fascism to my end.

Sadly, no Constitution can provide protection against tyranny that has subsumed the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial bodies. Only the people can do that.

"Vaygan"? Trump probably says "vegina" too.

Trump says it's OK for Iran to take out LA and San Diego? The irony is, now that he said that, those cities are safer, especially given Iran is more likely to target his supporters. And even after he's no longer POTUS, Mar-a-Lago is still Ground Zero.

The Trump cabinet clearly won't 25th him, because they're all True Believers (and remoras). But what survival strategy could possibly be going through the minds of GOP Reps & Senators? "Yeah, he's demented, but maybe he won't start a nuclear war before 2029"?

Blumenthal: Tether is a crypto company that has a stablecoin known as USDT, and it is the major means of Iran avoiding and evading sanctions. What we’ve also exposed is that Cantor Fitzgerald has a major financial tie. Cantor Fitzgerald was owned by Howard Lutnick. It’s still run by his family.

Re- Piers interview with Phil Collins Morgan was SO deferential, all he could muster was a dozen "hmm" mutterings. So much better than his usual arrogant "Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on..." ad infinitum.

Exactly! The plan to destroy government infrastructure and sew chaos is preliminary to then claiming "government doesn't work" (by design) so that authoritarians can claim their throne. That, in part, was DOGE's purpose.

For quite awhile now I've been totally onboard with Jack Smith as AG, as well as the need to expand the court. But Obama as Chief Justice? If he'd have the job, that'd rock!!

Ted Nugent is having some buyer's remorse. Turns out "owning the libs" feels a little different when the policies you voted for start hitting your own interests.
