Our system failed us. The electoral college. The 25th Amendment. Impeachment failed us, twice. The Supreme Court. The DOJ. The media failed us. Our Constitution didn't fail us, it just requires honorable participants and now, we are about to lose that as well. That’s how erosion works on democracy.

We have undoubtedly the finest military in the world, for a number of reasons aside from power. In less than one year, Donald Trump and his Fox News weekend host turned Secretary of War have tarnished its reputation in the worst way possible.

I don't buy into conspiracies, but I don't ignore facts either.

She needs the money for the children this Grismas.
FACT: If you Invested $12,500 in Melania Trump's memecoin scheme 11 months ago at its peak, you now have $118.

Congrats for getting scammed by the First Family.

Oh, America. Our little experiment in self-governing seems to be going swell.

I’m going to take objection. Remove that part about, “I think what he's saying is…” Stop saying that! That’s EXACTLY what Trump is saying! Stop sugar coating Trump’s message and call it out for what it is! This is where Democrats SUCK. They try to be polite in the middle of a street fight.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

In case you needed the reminder...
The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

I like listening to people who know what they're talking about.
The end could be closer than we think. Looks as if he's finding it difficult to walk. Watch his feet.

That escalated quickly.

Any comments?

Imagine being a Republican in a deep red district and watching the race in another deep red district like Tennessee 7 where Donald Trump won by 22 points just one year ago come around turn number 4 and headed down the stretch to the finish line on Tuesday... and it’s a neck and neck race!

Why I like Tim Miller. As a gay, somewhat leaning conservative, I agree.
“People would ask that about YOU, Scott.”

@ScottJenningsKY went after ex-Republican @timmiller.bsky.social for changing — but Tim points out it’s Jennings who sacrificed his “conservative” integrity/values to become a Trump loyalist after once being a harsh critic. (as the Daily Show noted)

It’s not for everyone, but it should be, especially now. A show that should be followed by a multiple-choice test and your results made public for anyone considering a run for elected office. I say that because I thought of our very own Sister Sarah Palin as they described the run of Paul Revere.

I'm sorry… but I do not trust a single thing our current government or any of the people in this administration tells me… because they have not given me any reason to trust them… on ANYTHING!

I'm NOT a conspiracy nut, but a common sense person who can see when facts and information do not add up.

Bowser on injured National Guard members: "These young people should be at home in West Virginia with their families"
November 27, 2025 at 3:01 PM
You can’t even watch a effen news update on the shooting of the two National Guard soldiers without getting broadsided, plastered and lambasted with false information, misinformation, political propaganda and outright, flat-out LIES from the whole lot of them!
November 27, 2025 at 2:51 PM
Fuck them. All of them. Seriously. On behalf of all the friends we lost, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart... Fuck them all.

Imagine the intense pressure Pete Hegseth must be feeling right now trying to decide if he should bomb Afghanistan or Washington State.
Per NBC News, the suspect in the National Guard shooting is Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who last lived in Washington State.

He is 29.

They shouldn’t be there. These are the the first casualties of Donald Trump’s War on American Cities that is a concoction of his own making in his own mind. Let’s see how he leads as a Commander in Chief who bears the responsibility of putting them there. I’ll bet he goes golfing.
November 26, 2025 at 11:02 PM
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth displaying his calm, clear and effective leadership approach by immediately calling in 500 more National Guard troops in response to a situation that nobody knows anything about. I feel safer. Why not just nuke the shooter's hometown? I mean, once we know where that is.

If you’re the president of the United States and you commit a blatant crime like asking us to rig the election for you, even if it’s on tape, it really becomes time consuming, expensive and lordy we just really can’t be bothered at some point… so, carry on.
