Apparently, the Trump administration has a new strategy for weeding out the gay Nazis and LGBT Klansmen in its ranks.

Trump β€˜Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels, Congress Is Told

Presumably, Congressional Republicans will demand a vote for an Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) against these drug cartels.

Despite crime in #Portland being down dramatically this year and only three arrests outside the #ICE facility here since January 20. 2025, the Rose City has apparently updated its iconic "White Stag" neon sign to welcome Trump's troops.

In 2010, a special prosecutor could not prove the Bush administration fired U.S. Attorney David Iglesias for refusing to prosecute cases it wanted charged.

In 2025, President Trump confessed to doing just that to U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert. #Comey

How lawless is Trump’s GOP?

Well, in 2008 President Bush’s AG Michael Mukasey named a special prosecutor to probe his boss’ purge of U.S. attorneys. This is what she found:

The Trump administration is using the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk as its own #ReichstagFire.

The unprecedented extortion of broadcast networks, the dangerous targeting of opposition voices and the lawless crackdown on liberal groups only requires a simple cut and paste from the original German.

First Iran and now Qatar. For the second time in three months, Israel launched a strike to derail U.S.-led negotiations already in progress.

Not a good look for #Trump and his #NobelPeacePrize crusade.

History is replete with dominant global powers who over time lost their position of leadership. The United States appears to be the first to unilaterally surrender.

There is no evidence that Donald Trump paid Russian hookers to urinate on him in a Moscow hotel room in 2013. But a new report from the nonpartisan CBO confirms that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" takes from the poor to give golden showers to the rich.
