Retired in 2020 after 45 years in sports journalism. I hate the GOP and Tangerine Palpatine with the heat of 1,000 suns. Still not famous enough for a Wikipedia page.

I agree.
Easy for me to say, but consequences be damned. Anyone that has damning proof/evidence on Trump, bring it forward publicly. Say, "If something happens to me, this is the reason why."
At this point, anyone with any damaging evidence needs to just leak it.

Let it all out.

These are unprecedented times, and Trump is an unprecedented threat.

The law continues to protect Trump but refuses to bind him.

While the law has bound Jack Smith but refuses to protect him

Leak. It. All.

Stephen Colbert, on Secret Service closing a park where media were capturing video of ongoing White House demolition: "If none of it's on camera, they can just claim the East Wing hanged itself in prison."
Yes, President Loose Shits was "informed" about Canada's use of Reagan's speech and got all pissy.
PLS doesn't have the attention span to listen to another old codger POTUS make stable and honest points about the damage tariffs cause. One of his lackeys told him about it and he reacted.
So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Or… just thinking skills.
Just spitballing here: Because that would take critical-thinking skills in today's media landscape.
Based on the 9-26 image, it’s now clear to this observer that the was always to demolish the East Wing. That image shows there was not enough room to build the ballroom.
No journalist asked an engineer/builder to check the ballroom plans against the available space.
ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today.

Seeing as how her husband is almost triple her age, he probably doesn't even know she's doing either.

Grooming and indoctrinating girls- that's the GOP.
It’s the old saying, “Give him an inch and he’ll take the country.”
Look at this.

Trump has pardoned CZ from Binance.

Bloomberg reports that CZ "assisted Donald Trump's family with the launch of its stable coin... after prison."

He was pardoned today.

Why didn’t a journalist look at the floor plan for the ballroom and check the square footage and compare it the size of the place where it’s to be built to decide if there was room without razing the East Wing?
As you ponder this photo, ask yourselves: Why won't they release the Epstein Files?

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I think one of the reasons that americans hate taxes so much is because they've never really seen much of a return on their investment
He can do whatever he wants. Who is going to stop him?
Those who might be able or want to stop him have turned into Neville Chamberlain imitators.
As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

I get your point... but don't be so sure about that. Also, maybe she was absent from class that day while she was getting a makeup tutorial.
Lindsey Halligan has a broadcast journalism degree from Regis University in Denver. I am confident they covered how "off the record" works.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

The circular "arguments" used by most MAGAts have driven me crazy. Dozens and dozens of times on Facebook I've made my point with facts (which they NEVER believe) and always it's, "Yeah, but what about THIS" instead of trying to counter my argument.
the circle where halligan is like "you need to get your facts straight" and bower is like "what facts do i have wrong" and halligan is like "fix your reporting" and bower is like "you mean the NYT's reporting? are they wrong?" is so funny. halligan just wants a tweet retraction i think
I agree with this 100%. Or, as President Loose Shits would say, 1,000%, 1,500%, $2,000%.
You guys I’m really sorry but I am never going to forgive him for ripping a side off the White House and I am never going to forgive all the people who could have stopped him but just kept going along to get along.
Coming soon, new PT test for ICE:
1. Weight within 20 pounds of 300 (Trump's weight).
2. Ability to stand leaning forward (Trump).
3. Breathing through a mask for 10 minutes.
4. ID the colors brown and black.
5. Zip tie a child in less than 5 minutes.
WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.

How can you tell when Mike Johnson is lying:
1. He's at a podium.
2. He's breathing.
3. His lips are moving.
Mike Johnson: "The bipartisan House Oversight Committee is already accomplishing what the discharge petition -- that gambit -- sought, and much more. Unfortunately some Democrats and sadly even a couple Republicans have tried to make this a political issue."
Mike Johnson performing a physical impossibility, kissing Trump's ass from a distance of six feet.
"And do you hear that crashing sound in the background. That's a wrecking ball literally destroying the White House. Now everyone gather around so our amazing president can dump a bucket of shit on our heads!"
Mike Johnson at an event for Louisiana college baseball teams: "This president has not only reduced taxes, we've cut fraud, waste, and abuse out of govt. He solved the border crisis, he solved the crime crisis. That's right -- he's also resolving wars around the world."
What are the chances the guy on the left is a prison escapee?

Bower's Signal chat with Halligan reminded me of dozens of circular arguments I've had with MAGA/Trump supporters. It's arguing with someone who claims the sky is green, the sun rises in the west and there's a tooth fairy.
Lindsey Halligan comes off as a rube, a bully, and maybe a rogue here. She asked after conversing to be off the record.— everyone knows it doesn’t work that way. she browbeats Bower w/o explaining what’s wrong, and she sure seems to be hinting about GJ info.
