Why the Hell Did JD Vance and Erika Kirk Hug Like That? The vice president had an uncomfortably close embrace with Charlie Kirkโ€™s widow, for everyone to witness.

As bad as Trump is, at least with him you know what you're getting. With Vance, as my wife says, he's a chameleon. There's something off-putting & "ain't right" about him.

NEWS: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva have SUED the U.S. House of Representatives in federal court in Washington, D.C. over Speaker Mike Johnsonโ€™s refusal to swear in Grijalva.

Grijalva would be the 218th vote for the Epstein Files discharge petition.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because itโ€™s even worse today.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

He told them "a year ago we were a dead country". Not true. But after his cuts to healthcare, we'll be a really dead country

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?

Yeah, *that*

I'm gonna be 70 this week. I've never voted for a GOP candidate for POTUS & I vote every election. I also was an active duty Army Engineer Officer (2LT - CPT) in a combat engineer battalion, 1977-81, 4 more yrs in Reserves. I am NOT a gnat on someone's shoulder. I am a US Army veteran

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition weโ€™ve had since Washington. No, whatโ€™s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

Iโ€™m horrified by Trumpโ€™s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. Weโ€™re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If youโ€™re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

The brownshirts are everywhere.

And they *will* come to your street eventually.

This is not just going to happen to "other people."

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks donโ€™t even have a shred of compassion. Itโ€™s one thing to enforce laws and rules. Itโ€™s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

He couldโ€™ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldnโ€™t afford to bribe a doctor. Now heโ€™s talking shit about how it shouldโ€™ve been fought.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps โ€œyour sideโ€ (like they do), they are counting on Comeyโ€™s unpopularity to normalize this.

Donโ€™t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Kimmelโ€™s estimated Tuesday viewership (on TV alone) was 6.26 million, but since ABCโ€™s Sinclair & NextStar affiliates censored that number only represents 77% of the possible number. Factoring back in the blacklisting stations, itโ€™s possible that his projected rating would have been 8.13 million.

Trump is now 30 minutes late for his much-hyped autism event, which leaves me wondering if RFK Jr is pumping Grok as I type this in a desperate attempt to get to the bottom of it
