Weather it’s Joe Biden pardoning kids who were caught with a couple ounces of weed or Donald Trump pardoning the Honduran president who smuggled in 400 tons of cocaine, both presidents were soft on drugs.

In 2026 (and 2028) you’re going to hear a lot about how “both sides” are the same. Please keep in mind every despicable thing that’s happening right now when that comes around again.

Well, someone got him to take it down a notch from a ‘crime punishable by death’ to one of ‘serious proportion’. If we keep at it, we could probably get him down to just ‘assault with sandwich’.

Playbook | While Marjorie Taylor Greene was celebrated in Washington for forswearing toxic politics, her internal polling showed she'd have to go back to harassing school shooting survivors if she wanted to win another Republican primary.

For 7 yrs, this is what I’ve told Trump’s supporters every single day: Trump doesn’t give a damn about you. He never has. And that’s got nothing to do with you and everything to do with him. You see, Trump is humanly capable of caring ONLY about Trump. And hopefully one day you’ll realize that.

OK boomers - what are your memories of November 22, 1963? I wrote about some of mine and others I knew about in my novel “Decatur Avenue,” available on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle e-book. All proceeds go to Maui Food Bank. Here’s a link: Decatur Avenue a.co/d/amyHSpi #booksky

For many Democrats, it is now received wisdom that, if Merrick Garland had promptly ordered a criminal investigation of Donald Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, everything might have been different. Would it? https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/rn8g1X
If the Legal Campaigns Against Donald Trump Had Ended Differently
New books look at the January 6th Trial That Wasn’t and other failed prosecutions—and whether they might have changed history.

It's a good thing President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden because otherwise Trump would be inviting him to the White House for some goddamn hors d'oeuvres

Pro tip: Nobody who flushes and eats incriminating documents—not to mention steals classified documents—is going to release anything from the Epstein files he doesn’t want you to see.
