I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

Dear republican congressman:

You just got another week off, you have absolutely no plans since you were going to be in dc.

How about some town halls? If you do three, that’s a total of 6 hours of work the whole week. Easy peasy!

I hope this happens. Jack Smith is impressive. He's also not a criminal, so it would be a nice change of pace.

Breaking news: The Pentagon signaled an expansion of its military campaign against “Transnational Criminal Organizations” in Latin America, saying it will deploy aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford and its associated warships to the region in coming days.

Pentagon orders aircraft carrier to Latin America as Trump signals escalation

A spokesman said the dramatic increase in combat power aims not only to “disrupt narcotics trafficking” in the region but to “degrade and dismantle” the criminal groups that operate there.

“Why not ask Congress for a declaration of war on the cartels?”

TRUMP: “We’re just gonna kill people bringing drugs into our country. We’re gonna kill them.”

Again: Not legal. (Also, not moral — There has been no real confirmation the dozens killed are even drug runners)

Pretty cool that the unflinchingly corrupt leader of our country is so dumb, so corrupt, and so malleable that he doesn’t have the first clue who he’s letting out of jail or why.

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?

TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

Federal judge issues tentative ruling ordering that immigrant detainees have access to legal counsel

The preliminary injunction would essentially extend a temporary restraining order that U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong issued in July, requiring federal immigration agencies to allow legal visitation at the B-18 detention facility seven days a week.

Thanks to John Roberts, Trump gets to pay himself hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars because, according to Roberts, the president controls all executive branch personnel and all of their decisions—and there’s probably nothing anyone can do about it.

As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts
