Mabel insisted on sitting with me when I got my haircut which hasn't happened since my grandma did the same thing when I was in kindergarten.

Thou shalt not wear a cross around your neck if you always do the opposite of what Jesus would do.

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

This is exactly what you do
With presidents who coup

This is totally unfair. Witkoff and Kushner had extensive help from the Russian foreign ministry, and they are trying to hog all the credit. SMH.

NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker admits "there's some truth" to the criticism that Putin hasn't made a single concession during negotiations

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence--It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred. Only way to deter other lawyers.

I have no idea why media continues to hype this person as a serious political commentator, but to go even further and float him as a viable presidential candidate is just farcical.

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

Trump has repeatedly claimed that gas prices have fallen, are at $2 per gallon, and are the lowest in two decades. Not surprisingly, he’s lying. The national average for regular gas stands at $3.055 today, almost exactly the same as $3.056 a year ago under President Biden, according to AAA. ⛽️

It’s time for justice to prevail. Bondi and Halligan should be disbarred for misconduct and lying to the American people at the request of DJT, a wannabe dictator, using the DOJ as his personal law firm to attack those he perceives as enemies.

Retired 4-star Army General Barry McCaffrey said the Pentagon's threats to Sen. Mark Kelly are making the U.S. start to look like the government of North Korea.

After I called out the big banks for adding ANOTHER $20 billion to Trump’s Argentina bailout, their plan is on ice.

But they are still exploring a $5 billion loan – potentially guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers.

No bailout for Argentina’s rich hedge fund investors.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

When the GOP has lost *checks notes*… Ron Paul, we’re really living in the upside down

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

The “I have more medals” and “I’ve seen more combat than you” MAGA bro responses to Mark Kelly’s post most are the most pathetically hilarious things on social media today, aside from Candace Owens claiming that Macron ordered a hit on her by French legionnaires.

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

The type of things that happen when a foolish reality TV actor appoints a petty, drunk talk show chatterbox to run our military:
