Trump placed her in harm’s way. To protect his own career. It had nothing to do with defending the constitution.

Done. As a retired Army officer loyal to my oath to defend the constitution, I'm inspired by your clarity and leadership. As I progressed thru the ranks to O6, my relationship to the constitution became clearer with each decision. I appreciate all you do and look forward to reading this book.

Here’s a thought: the next president, in cooperation with the House (people’s reps) demolishes the new ballroom, and rebuilds the east wing and the rose garden. And he funds it with the same corporate donors that built the ballroom.

Everything Trump touches dies, including Mikeyβ€˜s reputation, career, and honor when this is all said and done.

β€˜I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
A disgusting example of the rot internal to the Republican Party as reflected by Young Republican chats. These comments are not jokes and are not funny. The climate in the party clearly makes them feel comfortable posting this dangerous garbage.

Now that’s leadership. Out there cheering the citizenry regardless of whether or not they voted for him.

There is no reason any sane person can think of why we should give this government money.

I left the post when they capitulated to Bezos, who capitulated to tRump. All the good journalists left. So did readers. I get more accurate news elsewhere. I will never go back.

Yes. It’s visceral. There’s a pall over the city. It is not the vibrant place it was. People are looking for work. Just as bad, great resentment over national guard presence, widening a gap of trust between citizens and their military.

The ultimate act of a traitor deserves military honors?

Nothing will nail down a Nobel like rebranding to the β€œDepartment of War.”

Also sorta overrides the key military mission of deterrence, which is a piece of our national & defense security strategy.

Trump warns foreign companies after immigration raid at Hyundai plant β€œWe encourage you to LEGALLY bring your very smart people,” the president said.

Please Hyundai, close the plant; reopen it in South Korea.

Yep. Go ahead and widen the gap of trust between the military and the American people.

So much for courage and conviction as values. All this does is widen the gap of trust between the military and the American people.

As am I. I am also infuriated but not surprised that military bases have reverted back to renaming them after traitors. This is not remembering history. It is honoring those who fought against our country and our constitution.

Me too. I love that scene. Identical sense of dread here as well. Embarrassment is one thing, but the damage is so hard to watch.

One wonders if the crypto holders were β€œrequired β€œ to invest and what those holdings were.

A massive Trump scandal. Minuscule media attention. Historically, financial entanglements with foreign nationals has been covered as a scandal. Times have changed.

1. The media is normalizing Trump's corruption.

There is a massive scandal that almost all media outlets are ignoring.

It involves a new Trump Tower that will be constructed in Bucharest.

Follow this thread for details.

So with all tRump’s experience as a lawyer….oh wait. It’s all been as a defendant. Never mind.

Hey wait a minute. The rest of us want to know exactly what the orange mistake did to be cited in the Epstein files.

Awwww. The poor snowflake ice agents. After covering their faces, acting like Nazi Brownshirts, denying due process and ruining peoples’ lives, their feelings are hurt?
