Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and Navy Seal Officer William McRaven said this about Trump.

“Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage; and, worst of all, divided us as a nation.”

Happy Veterans Day to this outstanding Veteran!

Good point, he probably was. What a nightmare this guy has been.

LOL, exactly. But he wasn't lying about the "real gold" -- therefore, I wrote "almost." Gold leaf is common in art and architecture. The fact that it's real gold doesn't make it less obscene, especially as he steals from the poor.

Neguse: This is one of the most shameful episodes in my view in the modern history of the congress. The decision that Speaker Johnson made to recess the house for 54 days, to send Republican members home on paid vacation for eight weeks, is disgraceful.

He lies almost every time he opens his mouth, but: "Gold leaf is an extremely thin sheet of gold, hammered to a fraction of its original thickness, and used for decorative purposes in art and architecture. It's applied to surfaces through a process called gilding to provide a lustrous gold finish."

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

Here are the names of the 8 Senate Democrats who betrayed us tonight.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Why does Jake Tapper still have this job? And why does he always look so damn confused?

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Absolutely. From the article: The layoffs were "clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most.”

THE most shocking development of the Trump fascist takeover has been seeing corporate media become his most enthusiastic cheerleaders. We need to build a new Fourth Estate since the one we’re used to has decided to surrender to power and stick their dirty hands in the till for their corrupt share.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES
(SOUND WAY UP)

DAY 5 NOVEMBER 2O25

AMERICA VOTED AND NOW THIS

LITTLE TRUMP'S JOHNSON TODAY

I could listen to this over & over

Yes MAGA MIKE..(he giggles )
Yes We Will Sweep the Midterms
You will lose the majority

And a GLORIOUS DAY AWAITS
IMPEACH AND CONVICT

I Love the Smell of MAGA Tears in the Morning Hope came home smelling like tequila and vengeance, and she’s staying for fucking breakfast.

Because this time, we won. And I don’t feel bad about rubbing it in their fucking faces. Not one bit. Maybe that makes me petty. Or maybe it just makes me honest.

History proves that fascist lies and propaganda work only for a limited amount of time. Not everyone catches on, but more and more people do. It's going to be an interesting 2026.

Saw that. Assuming we want to recover our democracy, it would be a great idea -- for many reasons -- to put the breaks on any Kamala 2028 talk.

Release the Epstein files

CNN poll: Registered voters

Extremely motivated to vote in 2026:

Dem-aligned voters: 67%
GOP-aligned voters: 46%

The only way for the Republicans to have a political future beyond his rapidly approaching demise is to take a leadership role in stopping this madness.

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

Yes, in a general election, I would vote for ANY Democrat right now. I said ANY. I'm sure in 1930's Germany there were liberal "purists" who sat things out with angry arms folded.

Look how that worked out for everyone.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Tomorrow is election day. Get out and vote Democrat!
