Gee, maybe if the Republicans truly cared about anything but being in power, we would stand a chance. And the news is now majority right wing extreme owned. They all protect a mentally deranged narcissist who only has his best interests at stake.

Mark Kelly Blasts Hegseth For Promising 'No Quarter' To Iranians With 1 Prescient Callback Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) was persecuted last year by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for reminding U.S. troops that they can defy unlawful orders.

“‘No quarter’ isn’t some wanna be tough guy line — it means something. “An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order.” (cont.)

Trump has been squatting in the White House for 418 days now and yet him and his administration are still blaming former President Joe Biden for every fuckup they're committing.

Who will be the first to take off their shoes? Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes.

Trump’s shoe test borders on humiliation ritual. They appear much too big on most of the recipients, and with their pants hemmed to match the president’s absurdly short length, it’s comical. One might assume that Trump purchases the incorrect sizes on purpose. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/who-...

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s mother apparently named him after her two brothers, Mark and Wayne.
I guess she didn’t know which one was the father.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Shady Vance in North Carolina: He seems to be clueless or deliberately devious re the Big Ugly Bill. He says: "The One Big Beautiful Bill is chock full of good things for this district and state.” In actuality, it will cause 450K North Carolinians to lose healthcare coverage.
