I Guess We Will Be Saying This For The Rest Of This Presidency….

Joe Biden never needed to hide job reports.

I don’t get why Trump’s raging at the New York Times or why he called that reporter ugly. Honestly, they went easy on him, skipping the part where the anger fits the dementia pattern.

Signs of dementia: memory problems, confusion, trouble following conversations, sudden anger, personality shifts.

Putin's plan to end the war in Ukraine.

FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

Everyone is looking for someone to blame for the DC National Guard shooting. Instead of that wasted energy, we should be asking the question nobody is asking, how did the shooter get his guns? What can we do as a country to make gun violence less likely?

Wishing the injured National Guard a full recovery. No one signs up to be used as political pawns.

Nov 20 - a judge ruled Trump’s deployment was illegal. The court blocked him from sending troops into the District, with a 21 day pause for appeal.

Bottom line: the Guard shouldn’t have been in DC.

Fani Willis is an excellent illustration of the concept that MOST Americans are super-deferential to prosecutors to the point of ignoring their bad behavior, so long as the prosecutors are going after someone the Americans in question don’t like.

Steven Cheung @StevenCheung47 Jane, respectfully, shut the fuck up for trying to politicize this tragedy. They were protecting DC and trying to make the nation’s capital safer. People like you who engage in ghoulish behavior lose all credibility. Not like you had any to begin with. Quote Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer · 20h This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost. x.com/kaitlancollins…

The spirit of Thanksgiving has infused the White House press office today, bringing us together in a blessed moment of harmony and goodwill.

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.

Steve Whitkoff is a traitor.

But, so is the entire GOP.

So, nothing will happen.

The GOP stands for the Russian national anthem.

Let’s look at the orange idiot he does not want to be exposed for the failure that he always was and will always be🤬

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Unlawful Command Influence (UCI) is often referred to as the “mortal enemy of military justice.”

UCMJ Article 37 prohibits military commanders from using their authority to coerce or improperly influence the outcome of a case. Trump and Hegseth should read it.

TPUBLICAN is perfect if the "T" stands for TRAITOR.

It’s not that complicated, people.

Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office

My theory is that Trump has always used stimulants and they no longer work well enough to mask his cognitive decline and age related problems which were always there www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

2 National Guard soldiers shot near Farragut Square in Washington, D.C. Heavy police presence, both victims injured, conditions unknown.

The reason we don't have gun reform is the NRA uses money they don't pay taxes on, to bribe Republicans not to.

What Is Steve Witkoff Trying to Do? Trump’s envoy isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war.

A leaked conversation between Steve Witkoff and a Vladimir Putin aide shows that Witkoff continually “encourages the Russians to think they can get Trump on their side”—and in doing so has prolonged the war with Ukraine, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:

Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov reacted to the leaked calls with U.S. envoy Witkoff, saying “someone is leaking or eavesdropping” and accusing opponents of trying to sabotage U.S.-Russia contacts. He confirmed Witkoff is expected to visit Moscow next week as part of ongoing peace negotiations.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

According to Trump and MAGA:

Steve Witkoff - hero and patriot.

Mark Kelly - traitor who should be executed.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

You can kind of see why he wears so much makeup. He looks a lot older without it. Ashy and unwell.

Is there an amount of wealth you can acquire that helps you sleep better at night when, as a specially appointed official representing the US, you side with and embrace a murderous dictator like Putin? Does material wealth make Witkoff feel good about that? How much does it take?
