The degrading of the American Presidency continues.
This is genuinely one of the saddest, most demeaning, most degrading moments for an American president. The empty hole you fill with narcissism can't be filled with gold or faux peace buddy.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
There’s no such thing as a “free market.”
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

My Total Wine delivery person was Felipe, from Peru. He was wearing a Waterloo Black Hawks t-shirt. I told him my grandfather was born in Waterloo, Ontario (neither Felipe nor I knew that the Black Hawks play in Waterloo, Iowa). I didn’t ask his immigration status, he didn’t ask about mine.

My insatiable desire for drugs has certainly gone away since the Trump administration started blowing up a few small boats it claims without evidence are carrying drugs across the Caribbean Sea. Fixed it!

President Trump's refusal to share the legal justification for his airstrikes on civilian boats at sea is shocking, but not unprecedented. For too long, both parties have looked the other way as presidents abuse their power and evade accountability.
From Secret Law (2001-2024) to None at All (2025-present)
The Trump administration's lethal strikes are the apotheosis of the last quarter century's often always secret and often unreviewable executive branch legal reasoning.
