MAGA Mike is a pathetic figure. He never seems to know what is happening around him. He must realize that he cannot continue being Speaker without the continued blessing of Trump. He is flailing, trying to survive and I don't think he will survive much longer.
The man is so far gone in la la land that he doesn't know WTH he's doing. I fear that Miller or others are bringing Trump documents to sign and Diaper Don does what he's told to do by his caregivers. Let's hope they don't give him a declaration of war.
A hungry populace is a dangerous thing for Putin and the oligarchs. The end of Putin's Russia might be in sight. The economy is crashing just as the USSR economy crashed before the hammer and sickle flag was hauled down for the last time on December 26, 1991.
This is very important. The Russian economy is in terrible condition. They need oil sales to survive. Fewer petrodollars going to Russia is bad news for Trump's buddy, Vladimir Putin.
Acosta is complicit in the abuse of the young girls who were harmed after he (Acosta) drew up the legal document that allowed Epstein to serve a very short incarceration, avoid being a registered offender, and then return to his despicable life of crime.
The OLC is not the final judge. The courts are. And if we had a functioning Congress, they could impeach him..But of course we don't have a functioning Congree.
That's because neither Trump nor his conservative supporters have a plan. They have been trying for 15 years to repeal Obamacare and they still have failed to find an acceptable solutiin.
While many of us learned to revere our precious Constitution, the conservative justices on the Supreme Court have learned to ignore the Constitution and base their decisions on their corrupt, anti-American, conservative political ideology.
Trump checks all the boxes. But the people around him and his supporters in Congress pretend that Trump's behavior is normal while anyone who has a high-school education can see the opposite. And remember: this demented old guy still has access to the nuclear launch codes. That alone is very scary.
Neither Diaper Don nor his conservative Republican sycophants have a clue how to improve the ACA (a.k.a., Obamacare). If Republicans could have their way, they would eliminate the ACA and leave us with nothing.
The militarization of municipal police departments is a serious mistake. It evolved in groups like ICE who act like soldiers fighting a foreign enemy when their actual role is enforcing the law that is consistent with Constitutional norms and respectful for the rights of the accused.
I respect both women, but given the current situation, I favor a more energetic approach as long as it remains within Constitutional norms. The Constitution and the rule of law are the gold standards. Sadly, the Roberts court has lost its way with regard to those standards.
The existing plan, based on the profit motive, is and has been a failure. It provides care for those who can afford it and leaves those who can't afford it to suffer and die. That's not how democracies should operate.
Yes, but in 15 years the GOP has failed to come up with a better plan than the ACA. Obamacare is not perfect, but it's the best plan for now. The obvious "best" plan is a government plan that provides cadle-to-grave care for everyone. We must continue to pursue that goal.
But the Trump-Putin bromance is still strong. Witness, for example, Trump's reluctance to support Ukraine and his (and Vance's) open hostility to Zelinsky.
Kristi Noem shares much of the blame for the ICE and Border Patrol criminal behavior. Bur Noem is just another conservative Republican politician. She is doing what comes naturally to people who subscribe to that extreme political ideology.
It will forever be a huge black stain on U.S. history that scenes like this have become common in 2025. History will show that these horrific scenes are a direct consequence of the election of a conservative POTUS and a GOP majority in Congress. They are not done and it will get worse.
The man is a psychopath and he probably is beyond help. In addition, the "mini,strokes" are becoming more frequent, increasing the probability of a full-blown vascular event.
The administration doesn't want the truth about Adm. Holser's resignation. Certainly, the moron Pete Hegseth doesn't want anyone, including the White House, to know how incredibly inept he is. Hegspeth in the U.S. version of Inspector Clouseau.
