Pretty sure Trump is making money. He uses the tariffs to extort money or draw bribes for him and his kids. He is basically running a type of protection racket.

Excellent summary. If only the news media could do that.

They already know it's not Republicans. Now they know it's not Shaheen either.

Fox is pure propaganda. I muted it when Trump came on.

But paying off today's principal in 2070 dollars might be a steal.

Interest only with principal due in 100 years.

Gold paint.

Same people who pitched a fit about the closure of churches during COVID, I will add.

Well he didn't grow up in Appalachia, he grew up in Middletown, OH, close to Cincinnati.

If democracy dies, it will be because of SCOTUS.

Corruption on massive scale. Democrats need to do a much better job explaining how Trump is enriching himself at taxpayer expense and through bribes and extortion. We need a master list that needs repeating everyday until most people get it.

So he is pretty much failing at the car business now that his government subsidies are gone. How much will we have to subsidize the new Tesla? Musk is America's welfare king.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

My grandfather was born during the Civil War. I grew up during segregation and some people think of that as ancient history that couldn't possibly affect anyone living today.

They are Supreme Court Justices. Any payments, gifts, or travel expenses paid by others should be illegal. The fact that there are disclosure forms is a sign of a corrupt system. Bribery is ok as long as you disclose it.

Do you trust the Pope or Trump administration to tell the truth? I'm going with the Pope.

Lmaoooo how did I miss this post

What Really Happened in Portland Before Trump Deployed the National Guard In the two months before Trump’s decision, criminal charges were announced against only three people. On nights when physical conflict did erupt, it often came from police firing on, shoving, pepper-s...

NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland.

In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.

Every Democrat in Congress too.

Speaker Johnson is a propaganda puppet. The media should treat him accordingly.

I think gerrymandering should be illegal, so I am hopeful the GOP gerrymandering will backfire big time and turn safe GOP districts blue. Maybe then both parties can come up with a bill to ban it, or if necessary a constitutional amendment.

Those are called mood swings.

No he does not. But MAGA thinks he's a man of the people. I will give Trump credit for being one of the greatest con men in history. I don't understand how people fall for his BS, but they do. Millions of them.

Thanks for standing up for what's right.

Are we done with polls yet? People are sick of being polled. Lots of us will not participate. Others lie to mess up the polls. The margins for error are much too high.

Apparently voters love the radical left. Bye bye radical right.

Is he going to be one of the million people leaving New York because Mamdani won? I'm betting The New York Post will be proven wrong. Probably the first time ever.
