If I'm not mistaken, WWII was ended by Allied Armies advancing into Berlin, so Hitler committed suicide, and nuclear weapons were used in Japan. "Negotiations" rapidly progressed from there.

LA law enforcement should 1) ask ICE/HSI for their ID; 2) tell ICE personnel to remove their masks; 3) ask to see permits for any weapons being carried; 4) ask to see a warrant signed by a judge for each specific arrest they make; 5) ask to see the proof of ICE/HSI agents own citizenship.

"Yeah, prices 2026 may be measured at 20% over 2025, but then with demand dropping and the recession, there won't be any inflation at all when you compare 2027 to 2026. Genius way to 'fix' inflation."

I wrote almost the same "review" on Threads after I watched it yesterday. Two-dimensional characters, and I knew who would be elected even before the character appeared on screen. No explanation of the reason for bombings off-screen, why leave that unexplained?

Bukele could 💯 have Abrego Garcia on the flight with him, if he wanted great press coverage and praise for his benevolance - every news outlet would cover his arrival in Washington, and then visit to the White House. He could even invite Abrego Garcia's wife to meet the plane.

He invested the last $93 in his savings account on scratchers, he won a dollar on a couple of them, and now has $9 left. Can't anyone here grasp how a MAGA investor calculates the value of their portfolio?

After DOGE pays their visit to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we'll know not to trust the job numbers going forward.

For the State of the Union, I'd wear the outfit that Zelenskyy wore today (and ask other Dems to do the same). While Trump is speaking, every 30 seconds a Congressperson should get up and walk out of the chamber.

Who's going to bring a suit against Bove and Bondi for impeding an ongoing DOJ investigation?

I'm sure Germany, France, Sweden, UK, all have a desire to secure future supplies of raw materials for their manufacture of weapons, appliances, aerospace, etc. Ukraine can make a deal with the US after FOTUS leaves the White House, and Russia surrenders.

If Ukraine is considering using access to 50% of their rare earth resources as a means to acquire weaponry and armed forces to protect them from Russia, maybe instead of making that deal with the US they make that deal with EU countries?

Instead of airing "Morning Joe", how about #msnbc airing three or four hours live coverage of the Democrats unofficial hearings? That would be a balance to the non fact-checked WH briefings and Trump EO coverage.

Air Traffic Control: FAA Actions Are Urgently Needed to Modernize Aging Systems The Federal Aviation Administration relies on information systems to help air traffic controllers keep the airspace safe and efficient. Last year, FAA...

Don't take my word for it. Here's an article from the GAO published last year. www.gao.gov/products/gao...

@velshi.bsky.social I feel it necessary to disagree with your statement that amounted to "don't mess with our air traffic control system, it's working fine". In fact, some parts of the system are over 50 years old. I'm not arguing for Musk to slap in something overnight, but updates are overdue.

No, though she did get out of committee. I'm just trying to get ahead of the confirmation by a couple days, and suggest that Bondi could be shamed to live up to her testimony that she will "lead a department free from political influence". [Haha, as if...]

When Pam Bondi is confirmed, will a cable host or legal expert ask "Is Pam Bondi going to assert control over DOJ/FBI personnel decisions, and restore career employees who were illegally fired to their jobs?" Or was she lying about desire to lead a department free from political influence?

Let's not forget to blame Pam Bondi, and the deputies at the DOJ who are already running the show.

FOTUS seems to think this faucet is in Canada, I guess because it is "up north" of southern CA. He also seems to think if more water was immediately diverted from the delta it would immediately fill reservoirs and fire hoses in LA county. Maybe he'll get educated during the flight to LA today?

Policy Brief: Tracking Where Water Goes in a Changing Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta supplies water to roughly 30 million Californians, over 6 million acres of farmland, and countless ecosystems. But the watershed’s climate is changing: recent decades ...

I think that big water faucet that FOTUS thinks California needs to turn on in order to put out fires in LA is the complicated process of water diversion from the San Joaquin delta near Sacramento. Here's just one site with info, if you're interested. www.ppic.org/publication/...

If threat of tariffs doesn't work, he'll go to the tried and true, can't fail, 100% effective strategy to promise to lower taxes on every Russian citizen in the top 1% of earnings. And to sweeten the deal, repeal the death tax, and total exemption from contributing to Social Security! /s

If the hostage/ceasefire deal collapses because the Israel Parliment blocks the deal, does FOTUS accept the blame? Because, ya know, the deal was only going to happen because he was about to take office, right?

Merchan should have imposed a jail sentence on TFG last July (or September). Now he shifts blame for no meaningful sentence to "the citizenry that recently decided...". No, he could/should have given a fitting sentence when it would have impacted what the citizenry had to consider when voting.

I'm fine with DOJ dropping the case against Nauta and De Oliveira immediately, so both volumes of the Smith report can be released. When they are accomplices in the next Trump crime, prosecute them for that, it's just a matter of time.

The /s at the end of the post is an indication of my sarcasm.

Did everyone know that 81-yr old Kay Granger, the CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE decided not to run for re-election to the next Congress! What an outstanding example to other aging members of Congress! Hope this gets the publicity it deserves! /s

What Happens When the U.S. Hits Its Debt Ceiling? U.S. lawmakers have increasingly used the debt ceiling to re-litigate congressional spending, risking default and sparking debate over whether to abolish the ceiling.

And, so then we have Putin selling off the state to oligarchs, then imprisoning oligarchs and political opponents for the next 25 years. But of course history won't repeat itself here, will it...
