America has a fundamental lack of understanding of what constitutes a 'socialist' or 'socialism'.

I don't think such events are breaking through with the public. The US is the global reserve currency on economic AND political grounds. Each chip away at that status spells doom for the US economy and its politico-military position in the world. Debt affords the US its military spending.

Has CNN lost its mind?! Why does this network seem to have a memory no longer than 5 minutes?! Good lord, "even-keeled negotiators"? Is there anything beyond their banal broadcasting, which keeps giving this grossly incompetent administration the benefit of the doubt. This is not journalism.

This is not a Trump problem. This is a Republican problem. If Trump sails off into the sunset tomorrow, this problem isn't going anywhere...

I think the outcome in Canada, with the Liberals winning and NDP holding a critical balance of seats, might be okay, for now. But too many Canadians voted for the empty shell of Conservative nonsense last night. One shining light--that fork-tongued creature, Pollievre, lost his parliamentary seat.

I wish Paul Weiss would listen to Peter Weiss.

Pulitzer Prize! Pulitzer Prize, I say!!!!@

Just traded texts with Pete Hegseth, asking about his imminent retirement plans. He told me that it is inappropriate to discuss those plans on such a public platform.🤣

Here's your warning. I think he means it. This won't end well.

Thanks for the mention!

So, undoubtedly, it's true--the liberal state has proven a less-than-optimal vehicle for social justice. But it holds out one basic promise in two simple words: Due. Process. Lose that, and the rule of law that it accompanies, and you can kiss every other social justice project goodbye.

Seriously, what is wrong with these Democrats? What feeble, self-serving logic has to be in play with these four? Don't tell me these were 'votes of principle'. If they could just think outside their district and their Congressional position for one second! Sniff the wider political winds people...

The Dems will block that in the Senate, or they better. Amazingly, 4 Dems supported it in the House. Can these people not sniff the wind?

Supreme Court orders administration to 'facilitate' return of Garcia. They better keep these kinds of rulings coming. Good God.

Okay, not to toot my own horn (as he prepares to toot his own horn), but I said it a month ago about Treasury bonds...

Hey Joni Ernst, good thing you got those 'assurances' from Pete Hegseth during confirmation hearings, eh?

That SCOTUS is even taking this up for review does not bode well. They should have let the circuit ruling stand. It seems as if they are moving against lower courts to further enable administration immigration actions. How much of this is just Roberts trying to avoid a direct clash with Trump?

Republican feminism. You go girl???? What is wrong with people?!

We are about to find out the true current status of the judiciary in the American political order. If SCOTUS confirms this order (I can't see how it won't), the rule of law will hang on the administration's subsequent actions.
