Remember January 6, 2021 when the US Capitol was under direct attack and trump refused to deploy the National Guard to put down the attack, then pardoned the convicted attackers. Well, today Herr trump put law enforcement in Washington DC under direct federal control, fascist much?

Here's a pragmatic rule of thumb:
Until the Epstein files are released, everything trump does that isn't releasing the Epstein files is done to distract from the Epstein files.

Some people say I am too negative. I’ll try to be more positive. I’m positive trump is nuts.

I’ve never seen such a cabal. The Maxwell Talks are specifically intended to reach a deal to lower the sentence of Maxwell, provide cover for trump and disable the interests of the victims and the country. Something is fishy indeed.

~The circumstances surrounding the talks concerning ’the Maxwell Talks’~ and lawyers for the DOJ, trump and Maxwell, ‘seems fishy’. My god, I’ve never seen such a cabal.

Mike Johnson is shutting down House floor votes until September to avoid voting on making Epstein papers available. They are scared sh*tless. I was going to stay away from cheap political matters. This is such a target rich environment its hard to resist,

Here’s a scenario which might keep you awake nights. Bove confirmed to the 3rd Circuit. Alito retires before ‘26 midterms. Bove elevated to SCOTUS. I shivered.

We wouldn’t be waiting for a ‘list’ if we just believed women.

Trump says the Epstein files were part of the Democrats' master plan? Doesn't he know the Democrats don't have a master plan?

No tax on tips, if you make less than $25,000 and itemize deductions. This will apply to exactly three people. Feeling conned yet?

SCOTUS yesterday did NOT deny anyone birthright citizenship; it addressed "nationwide injunctions," limiting courts from issuing them. They can issue injunctions within their district. Remember: this will prevent conservative judges from issuing nationwide injunctions in many cases also.

I‘m writing a book about what I should be doing. It’s my oughttobiography.

Think strategically. Strategy is where you are going, not where you are.

I will not follow the NATO summit until the dust settles, but I guarantee two things: (1) trump will lie. (2) trump will make assurances or threats he will not keep.

I know this is off topic but where are the 90+ trade deals which were to be signed?

Where are Iran’s uranium stockpiles? Anywhere close to Iraq’s WMD’s?

This is how it starts. I am open to the possibility that the bombing of Fordow was the correct thing to do. But I would like all to be more open about what is going on and why. if we have a moral and (global citizen) duty to act in such a way, we should be prepared to shoulder the consequences

This one time President Trump, it is your obligation to be be completely and immediately honest with the people of our country and the world. I think you are incapable of that kind of honesty. Put down the charade. Better yet just go away. What are you thinking?

often stayed to write in a old ryokan in Kyoto, owned by the same family for 800 years. I learned of this early during my work in Japan and stayed there twice, first with my good friends Fukushima and Yamasaki in 2002 and second with Faith in 2012. A marvelous place.

Republican’s good ole days... the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the middle class gets the bill and women and minorities know their place.

trump is done. He can still do immense damage and probably will, but he is done. Seven years ago we had an enforceable and enforced nuclear agreement with Iran. trump blew it up because Obama. Now trump is trying to get Iran to sign it again. Why should they trust us? He’s cooked. Put a fork in it.

An estimated 10,000,000 attended anti-Trump "NO KINGS" protests. An estimated 20,000 turned out for trump’s birthday parade. Though Minn. officials canceled the NO KINGS parade because the assassin was still on the loose, approximately 50,000 citizens turned out any way. Pictures tell the story.

We, as a nation, would be dramatically better off economically if full amnesty were extended to all undocumented people and birthright citizens [subject to valid security concerns if any] as compared to this administration’s deportation plan. File under “research shows.”

trump and his ghoul Stephen Miller are frustrated because the people are not taking to fascism very well.

Cowardice looks like showing up in masks and full military battle gear to arrest two dish washers.

trump world was entirely too performative lately. From the musk withdrawal, to the musk/trump “spat”, to the Garcia return to the US and the recent conspiracy claims It is too much theater. It is reminiscent of the attempted “assassination” of trump on July 13, 2024. Smoke and Mirrors perhaps?
