About Hegseth's meeting on Monday, I'm afraid we may be going to war with another country as a distraction from the very likely imminent release of the Epstein files. Venezuela?

That is the purpose, to fan the flames and divide in order to appeal to their base regardless of the danger. Perhaps another distraction from the Epstein files, grocery prices and low approval ratings in the polls.

In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission

NYT: "Brazil’s Supreme Court on Thursday convicted former President Jair Bolsonaro of overseeing a failed conspiracy to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election in a coup plot that included disbanding courts, empowering the military and assassinating the president-elect." Trump: "very unhappy about it".

Why is Bondi against her request for immunity? Hmm, must be a trick. Smacks of a cover up. Johnson let the House out early to not have to vote on the release of the files. This has bought Trump time to devise a myriad of distractions to continue to try to pull the wool over the eyes of his base.

Why doesn't Trump release the files themselves? They would be revealing. Instead Ghislaine was interviewed in a very unorthodox matter by Trump allies and we do not know what information was exchanged. Now this child perpetrator is demanding immunity to testify in court.

Since the cuts will not be effective until after the Midterms, he may want to have it appear to his constituents that he is saving their Medicaid so he won't be ousted.

Agree. We have to address the economy like Mamdani does. People will vote mostly for how they are going to prosper or survive financially. It's how Trump won but with lies. If we address these financial needs with viable solutions, we will triumph. But not by pointing out the horrors about him.

There's already a media smear campaign going on with actual facts! Wonder what they have in mind.

Lying is second nature to him. It's what worked to get him elected. Keep the people blind to what is really going on.

Still tired from the long and boring parade and needs to sleep. Or he only went to the G7 to make a tariff deal and left. Not interested in joining forces with the rest for Ukraine or any other country.

I've been very worried about this hidden line. It would mean the end of our democracy. Force be with you Elizabeth!

Aside from all the other reasons given here on his proposed military budget, could he also want a strong military to take over Greenland and Panama by force? Replace the Pentagon with those who can be bought and the US and the world are his Oyster.

Will be at the No Kings protest! You know, he wants to rule the world like a Roman Emperor, not just the US. In his mind he is the US and uses "We" instead of I in his postings on Truth Social.

Have dreamed of the same idea often!

Bukele planted the margaritas! He and Trump are 2 peas in a pod.

Van Hollen was able to meet with Kilmar Abrego García! The NYT reported that when a reporter asked Trump if he would bring him back he said, “Well, I’m not involved.” Unbelievable! Well, yes I can believe it given the fascist that he is.

Proud of Harvard and it's President, Alan M. Garber for courageously defying the demands of this administration. I hope other colleges and universities will follow suit. Read the letter sent by the administration and Harvard's response 👏

The problem is that Kilmar was wanted in El Salvador and Trump handed him over to them despite his protective order. What is needed is a tough response from Trump severing ties with El Salvador unless they return him. But Trump won't do it because he wants to continue sending deportees there.

No, the reason for taking them abroad is to not have to spend resources on due process or have any accountability. Also to get rid of them quickly, as well as to stop them from "tainting" our country.
T can claim he tried everything but Bukele won't budge, thereby complying with the vague O

Trump! The Musical! to Debut at the Kennedy Center

Donald Trump announces plans for Trump! The Musical! from the presidential box at the Kennedy Center.

And in a year when news and satire are practically indistinguishable, we wish you TheaterManiacs a very happy April Fools’ Day.

So he openly and defiantly disobeyed the judge. He said, “Too late” even though the planes could still turn back as ordered. We've been fearing his disregard for the law. So now what? If he gets away with this we are doomed.

OMG! You nailed it Chris. Can I share this? I'm new to blusky and don't know how, you?

I'm new here. Any ideas on the best way direct FB friends to my posts on BlueSky?
