Mace is right about the misogyny of the GOP. Perhaps she is miffed --ignored after carrying so much of the vile and vitriol of the White Christian Nationalists: recall her frothing at the mouth about Muslims! So--Right Wing Stepford Wife-ism just ain't all that rewarding? Smelling Salts time.

Gee Whiz! Patel is saved! After all these years, the 'breaking news' of the FBI arrest! Just in time to bail out Kash Patel who, over the Thanksgiving weekend, was rumored to have his FBI leadership in jeopardy. 5 years of data.. and now the news... Timing will sure help keep Patel safe?

Hegseth's murderous event has despicable camaraderie. Two children; two bombed boat survivors. Both killings justified as necessary for the protection of the respective States. This not complicated. It is vile irrational Blood-Lust. www.cnn.com/2025/12/02/m...

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.

It’s time to demand transparency. Trump can’t even stay awake during a cabinet meeting.
Tell us what the MRI was for & show the results
He was sundowning when he sent 400 posts instead of sleeping. Then he sleeps during cabinet meetings. He’s incompetent.
It’s time for the 25th Amendment

Gupta: These are the most credentialed radiologists in the country. No one is aware of any type of screening guideline that says as you age you should get an MRI of the heart and abdomen.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Epstein Files! Don't rush to uncork the champaign! Trump, Speaker Johnson, and Trump's Lawyers --the DOJ!- have indicated they will screen what can be released but will "protect the victims." And be prepared: the protected 'victims" will include Trump and whomever his cabal wishes to conceal.

I don’t know if it’s just a rumor—hard to know these days--but some people are saying that Leavitt, anticipating a post-Trump career, is auditioning for a lead role in a planned movie “Right Wing Political Stepford Women on Meth.” Never seen anything like it! That, I can tell you.

Looking forward to the future when Dems take back power and restore an independent DOJ! Imagine DISBARRING both Bondi and Blanch for joining Trump to pressure Boeber and Mace to block release of Epstein Files.

Epstein Files! Let’s hear it for “Transparency!” First, we had Hegseth change the Department of Defense to Department of War. Now, the Republicans want to change the GOP to stand for Guard Our Pedophiles. At least this new GOP is—as they say—being fully transparent.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Photos of Trump falling fast asleep during yesterday's Oval Office meeting. The media narrative for four years was that Biden was too old to do the job and now Trump is literally passing out behind his desk but we hear nothing about that.

...Trump's itch to go into Venezuela (drugs) and Nigeria (christians) is the Trump administration's YELLOW CAKE argument? Both countries are the top oil-producers in those two continents. Anyone remember Dick Cheney's public remarks about the oil in Iraq to be "saved" from muslim fanaticism???
