Given the chaos and uncertainty of the United States security commitments to our allies under the Trump administration, Japan is building a next generation military including wide spread use of drones.

Trump's gold plating of the Whitehouse and destruction of the East Wing sure looks like the actions of someone who has no intention of leaving at the end of his term.

Treaties with Putin aren't worth the paper they're written on. Putin has already violated 2 major treaties with Ukraine, in addition to violating International law by the invasion alone, plus Putin is an indicted war criminal for kidnapping Ukrainian children.

It would seem that the only reason why Trump and his puppet DOJ are obstructing the release of the Epstein files, is there must items in there that are very damaging.

A very slight majority of voters believed that returning a convicted felon and pathologic lier to the Whitehouse was going to be good for them. Apparently the dictator handbook, Project 2025, seemed too outrageous to be true. Surprise!!!

It's Trump supporters who have placed themselves in a bubble where facts rarely penetrate. Trump ran on keeping himself out of Federal Prison, getting rich along with his rich friends, and following the Project 2025 dictator's handbook. So far, so good.

Trump screwed farmers with tariffs in his first administration, resulting in a permanent loss of much of the Chinese market. So they voted for Trump again, who screwed them even worse this time by giving Argentina some $25 billion and promising to buy their beef on top of it.

The billionaire corrupted Supreme Court is the greatest danger to our Constitution and our laws. They are the weakest link and no problem stripping Congress of power and giving it to a demented madman.

She can, but won't, go back to being the top attorney for her husband's parking garage.

The lower courts have generally been following the law. The Supreme Court is the weak link in our justice system, and is where our laws and Constitution goes to die.

The only thing more dangerous than an incompetent idiot, is one who is cock sure he/she knows more than actual experts, all while having no education or training to back it up.

No one does business with this Federal Government that doesn't have a financial or political connection with Trump.

What is this 36% approval rating. No rationally thinking person could possibly approve of what this lawless, cruel and sadistic administration is doing. Unless, of course, they lack the same contempt for morals and ethics.

If these Venezuelan boats are actually smuggling drugs, they're very bad at it. Who would leave all that open space on many of the boats or pack the boat with passengers.

A deal that doesn't include an iron clad, NATO level security guarantee is worthless. Putin has already violated International law and 2 Ukrainian security guarantees. Putin will never agree to the security guarantees because he fully intends to reinvade Ukraine once he has rebuilt his military.

Putin was a fool to invade Ukraine. His delusional motivations to go down in Russian history as the great leader that reestablished lost territory is over. As we're beginning to see here, with the MAGA party, propaganda and lies will only get you so far.

Orban is a close ally of MAGA and Russia. Of course he supports Ukraine surrendering to Russia. Putin wants all of Ukraine and isn't going to halt his military actions until he succeeds.

Without NATO level security guarantees, which Putin will never agree to, any agreements will be nothing more than a surrender to Russia. Putin has already broken 2 agreements to recognize the sovereignty of Ukraine.

It's perverse that Wall Street will value a company higher when it doesn't have much competition. Monopolies are their sweet spot.

Noem with her John Wayne ads telling immigrants to do it right way all while targeting them in courts who are doing exactly that. This is an administration of con artists.

It's starting to look like there's a relationship with this Epstein story and Trump's repeatedly acting in the best interests of Russia and NOT the United States. Epstein communicated with high ranking Russian officials before the infamous Helsinki meeting.

We don't need to accuse Trump of corruption through sophisticated investigative reporting, he's doing it right out in the open because he controls the DOJ and Congressional Republicans.

It's starting to look like there's a relationship with this Epstein story and Trump's repeatedly acting in the best interests of Russia and NOT the United States. Epstein communicated with high ranking Russian officials before the infamous Helsinki meeting.

Isn't there a Chinese proverb that warns against riding the Tiger, now it's trying to kill her.

Trump provides entertainment and quick answers in place of competent governance. Maybe they'll wake up as it begins to hit their wallets.

$160 billion dollars to fund the government without raising taxes one nickel, by simply enforcing existing tax laws. Something Republicans, the party of criminal tax cheats, have fought decades to make sure this never happens.

Russian vodka should never be drunk by robots.

No dictator can rule a country by force by themselves. It takes scores of like minded fascists and many even more cruel and lawless than the dictator.

Trump ordered 500 TONS of food aid burned to address famine in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Already paid for. Trump has illegally ended the food and medicine, approved by Congress, to essentially end USAID, costing the lives of millions. The name of Jesus Christ should never again leave their lips.

Extreme wealth becomes an obsession in itself to achieve a level of fleeting satisfaction that no amount of money can ever fulfill.
