I would bet 85 to 95% of Americans could not find Ecuador on a map.

Not to worry. I am sure that banner on the Department of Justice will scare away any potential terrorists from the entire country. See how powerful he looks. www.cnn.com/2026/03/03/p...

Wow, even after they gave him the FIFA Peace prize?

Wasn't Trump's response to the dead soldiers families " it is what it will be "?

This is absolutely shocking news.

There is a House Ethics Committee? Under Mike Johnson? I had no idea. Gee, You really can learn something new every day.

"who is an embarrassment to Republicans "

Not really. To me she seems kind of emblematic of the Republicans. If they stay in power, in the future she will be viewed quaintly. Remember how people thought that about Sarah Palin?

So what did President Miller say?

Why not? We have an NBC reality host running the country.

Maybe it's time we stop idolizing celebrities and start idolizing actual accomplishments.

I don't know about that. Dukes Mayonnaise is pretty smart.

Yes, please.

I don't know what that proves. Everyone knows the DSM hates Trump.

And they don't care one bit about that.

As a Nats fan, thanks. We were able to win a World Series without him. Maybe he's jinxed.

Granted, it hasn't been too much fun since.

Virginia lawmakers send bill to increase hourly minimum wage to Spanberger A raise could be on the way for hardworking Virginians.

Good! And it's not just capped at $15 an hour, starting in 2029 it's pegged to the level of inflation. And the Republicans were against it because employers will cut jobs.

Maybe they could cut CEO salaries instead.

Now now, he can multitask. I think he also started a war to support Netanyahu and also to drive up gas prices.

I like the intent, but please explain HOW they will actually punish them. I am dying to know how it will physically be accomplished. Not just issuing a ruling. How does it actually get done?

No. According to what my senator said, he owes everyone an explanation. In his statement he clearly explains Trump does not have the ability .

You are acting as if he is finished doing harm.

You need to add "so far" to the end of your meme.

So, one leader that we don't like we simply swoop in and snatch him.

Another leader that we don't like, we just simply bomb and kill.

I'm no geopolitical expert, but I get the distinct feeling this isn't going to end well.

I agree that would be beneficial, but I can also understand 100% if she does not want to.

That is true, but Hungary has a population of 9.5 million to control versus the 330+ million here in the US. They might discover this population harder to wrangle.

Also, Hungary had two generations of communist rule, not democracy.

Each day this year I am so happy to wake up in a state (VA) that has sensible governance trying its best to do the best for all of its citizens.

They are not perfect, they will make mistakes and errors in judgment. But the intention is to try to do the best for everyone in the Commonwealth.

Now if he had said Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs had interfered to get Biden elected he might have gotten more traction.

What's surprising?

We have a "monster raving loony party" here in the US that got over 77 million votes in the last national election here and currently controls the House, Senate and Presidency.

They do use a different name over here. That's a common difference between Brit & American English.

On the surface, this is awful. But I have to admit that as a parent of someone who is LGBTQ+, Trump's goons not actually knowing who is LGBTQ+ might be a bit of a silver lining.

"Trump will try to stop the midterm elections. Well, he can't"

I sure hope you are right. But we had better have a strategy ready to implement quickly for when he attempts it.

Like we will ever see that.

I just kept thinking why would she be sharing things with the head of the January 6th commission. Then I realized that's Benny Thompson, not Benny Johnson.

Maybe. It sadly depends on who is writing that history.

For example in 2026 we know Hitler's evil was overcome; in 1943 it was an unknown. If Hitler had won, a different history would be known now.

I understand your statement. It's wrong when people tell what you can't do because you're queer.

I just admire people who can accomplish the things the Olympians can do because it's so, so beyond my capabilities.
