I am still of the opinion Biden kneecapped any democratic candidate by flirting with a 2nd term. We would have been better served by him declaring up front he was one and done, then let the process play out.

In the 1960s, you would have seen Republicans at the memorial service of a major civil rights leader. Jackie Robinson was a Republican. Nelson Rockefeller helped pay for Dr. King's funeral. The absence of Republicans at Rev. Jackson's memorial service speaks volumes about today's Republican Party.

We all know exactly why Donald Trump went into Venezuela and we know exactly why he’s gone into Iran. Cuba will likely be next.

His distractions aren’t fooling anyone…the Epstein files are not going away and the accusations against him are not going away.

Yesterday, the White House used Call of Duty frames in their Iran war hype video.

They are hyping the prospect of war like an exciting video game.

Yes, I know this administration has no bottom.

No class, no integrity, no honor, no decency.

Yet they never cease to shock me.

So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

Gavin Newsom: β€œReview the tape β€” Trump spent more time talking about the curtains & his ballroom than of the 4 service members that died bc of his operation & his declaration of war without congressional consent β€” He still has not articulated clear vision of what the end game is. Period. Full stop”
