Yeah. The issue is calling this "His Triumph" when it was negotiated by Biden and delayed by Bibi so that Trump could take credit...

The riches aren't the problem. The problem was making someone President who ran expecting to lose and then start a media company based on grievance, but won and learned that being POTUS was a better grift...

They were not sent to those cities to "conduct law enforcement operations." They were sent there to terrorize the public. Everyone knows this.

"This administration overall seems more interested in heightening the tensions instead of trying to ramp them down," Tsao said.

Yeah, no kidding.

Friendly reminder to all "law-abiding gun owners" out there: If registering your gun with the government becomes the law and you DON'T do it, then you're no longer a "law-abiding gun owner."

They want to do the same to Social Security...

If you have to tell people you're a Christian, then you probably never honestly asked yourself, "What would Jesus do?" and then did it...

This is true, and…

It also reflects the assymetry in media. RW media trumpet every GOP/Trump achievement as a glorious success, because that is their job.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

If lying to Congress is illegal, then why haven't all of Trump's SCOTUS appointees been indicted? There's no doubt they all lied to get confirmed...

A scientist working on infectious diseases at the CDC is risking their life for their country more consistently than 99% of the troops. #SupportTheScientists

Oh, good... I guess it's all fine as long as the troops get paid. Trump has always been so respectful of the troops.
