So the U.S. Treasury will never see the money.

Trump treats the U.S. federal govt like a sole proprietorship, with him answerable to nobody.

Absolutely. and BTW, I visited the site of the Port Arthur massacre in January 2025.

Agreed. To authoritarians, blatant lying is not so much to persuade, but to demonstrate power -- the power to define reality.

Wait I thought America abolished mass shootings by enabling every violence-prone idiot to easily obtain and carry guns, including battlefield weaponry.

Well, at least his framework for a concept of his healthcare plan.

Also included will be his income tax returns, detailed medical reports, Melania's immigration documents, and of course the DOJ's #Epstein files.

Good. While true that Trump can't pardon state convictions (duh), he can exert the full powers of the imperial presidency on state officials via disruptive funding cut threats and vindictive prosecutions.

Unfortunately, the U.S. is not a signatory to the ICC.

Trump is molting.

Total U.S. opioid fatalities (mostly fentanyl) were about 80K in 2024, reflecting a slow decline in deaths.

Attacking the supply (ineffectively) while cutting treatment funding that would reduce the demand for those drugs is just playing wack-a-mole.

Voter-fraud conspiracy follower Harmeet Dhillon hates rule of law and democracy. She's a disgrace to America and the values on which it was founded.

Great work by those states which have told her to go to hell.

No actual peace treaty was ever signed after the Peloponnesian War. So if Dear Leader Trump can get the Athenians and Spartans together for a signing ceremony, he could add that to his list of "wars settled" and qualify bigly for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Call it "anti-fascism," not just "antifa." And of course it's a movement, not an organization.
December 11, 2025 at 3:56 PM
We should always say its *full* name: "anti-fascism." Don't call it just "antifa."

Release the #Epstein files.

Admiral Bradley failed his humanity test. The initial strike was illegal, pointless, and immoral, but then killing clearly shipwrecked survivors violates basic norms of humanity.
