For the first time, the Kennedy Center Awards were presented in the tiny Oval Office instead of the Kennedy Center For Performing Arts. Donald used his now-vulgar Oval Office for the ceremony to avoid the embarrassment of TV audiences seeing an almost empty theater.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Did you ask him if his job was under threat if he failed to follow an illegal order? Did you ask him if he knows killing the shipwrecked is an illegal order? Did you ask him if he was promised clemency if he took the fall? What did he say? TELL US. Stop dancing around these questions.

The manufactured press corps in the bully’s pulpit allows for normalized presidential disregard for Truth, which makes podcasts critical. While presidential -candidates- are allowed to dabble in moderate PR fictions, a President is bound to speak, know and promote truth; and represent all Americans.

Remember, remember, the 16th of March (1968) US military atrocities to help ensure a pro-legal/moral/ethical/life/rights federal government so that We Won’t Go Back (okay, so that we won’t keep going back; and we’ve already seen in 2025 how far back, behind, and into the pro-death abyss we can go).

If Trump didn’t use “the auto pen” when pardoning so many criminals he would know who they are instead of just “I don’t know anything about that”, “who?”, “I don’t know who you are referring to”, etc.

Peter Schiff—“Since Pres. Trump called me a jerk and a loser for claiming that prices are still rising when he insists they're coming way down, I challenge him, or his designee, to a debate on the U.S. economy and the efficacy of his policies. If I'm as wrong as he says I am, let him prove it.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

When a narcissist runs America and is allowed and encouraged by the other branches and our destroyed Fourth Estate to do whatever he wants with our national infrastructure.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Boom. Scary boom.
Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.
