It is crucial to remember that America has a regime. The Trump regime. This is not a normal administration.

Every single person who is a member of his administration is there because they have one thing in common.

Lying to and for Trump. Sycophants.

This is the Trump regime.

Steve Chapman: For Donald Trump, the war against Iran will not be a political winner Donald Trump may hope that Americans will rally behind ending the Iranian regime. More likely, he’s giving voters a reason to be unhappy.

Trump risks Israel's fragile standing on Iran, but what if he gets bored? Americans, Including Many Republicans, Remember the Bitter Lessons of U.S. Wars in the Middle East After September 11. Trump May Have Shifted Attention From Other Issues, but as Days Pass, the Iran Wa...

An Israeli view: "The question, as usual, is how long he can stay focused on the task at hand before he loses interest and moves on to the next issue, shinier and less complicated – and what Israel will do when that happens." www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Sidenote: The destruction of American support for Israel as a consequence of the action and crimes of Bibi Netanyahu will be a diplomatic disaster studied at universities for decades to come.

oh hey look more proof positive that the best response to a trump lawsuit is “fuck you, make me.” hope everyone who gave in without a fight feels like the utter rubes they are.

"Oh, you got to eat fast food in a room blaring Toby Keith covers? Cool, cool. We're on a private beach in Maui with Kendrick Lamar. Taylor Swift is taking us jet skiing later on."

They hate whores because whores are honest about what they do.

It's always rather funny when a fanatical devotee of fundamentalist Christianity or fundamentalist feminism (they're hard to tell apart) tries to attack me on some post from over a decade ago, and the best they can come up with is "You're a whore!" And I'm like, "Yes, and?"

If I’d been in that locker room when Trump called I know I wouldn’t have laughed at his crack about the women’s team because I’ve never laughed at anything he said. And my teeth would have been gritted at the sound of his voice

I adore Alysa Liu but I’m trying to imagine Michelle Kwan skating off and yelling, “That’s what I’m fucking talking about!”

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault.

LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith”

In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted

DOJ keeps lying and losing:

I’m rooting for the American hockey women but there’s no one I’d rather lose to than Canada.

I met Angela Ruggiero in 2007 when I took my daughter to a weeklong hockey camp in Michigan and my daughter had a great experience learning from her.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Reminds me of the Republican Congressman some years back who was asked why he didn't travel abroad. "I've been there," he said.
