Our president is so nakedly political that he thinks his looking weak is worse than starving Americans with no healthcare.

My take?
It was created as a front for Russian investors. They don't care. Its unfettered access to Americans they want.

Aren't all the tech bros like that?
Jeff Bezos
Peter Thiel

But to be fair, Benioff and Zuckerberg have supported hospitals.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Sounds like extreme left wing ideology to me. Extremists live there.

And I thank you for that.

Orban is behind Trump saying "attaboy".

Its not just territory. Eastern Ukraine is full of minerals. Can you imagine giving back the permian basin.

That seemed to be what I was reading yesterday.

Everything with them is serving Trump it seems.

I"m guessing Zeldin thought that flood control for Alaska was pork and since it was authorized by a Dem congress it could be undone.

Zeldin at the EPA is like Dahmer at FDA.

If we can see it, you know Putin does.

Putin is dragging out the negotiations like a burlesque dancer Trump wants so he can try to "win" Ukraine. Trump thinks his threats are unpredictable and will get Putin to come to the table and get peace. It won't. Because TACO.

I swear. Some days I feel like the White House is a Frat and the Congress is the student counsel.

Do you mean: He is leaving because HE doesn't have immunity?

Wait. How could they possibly pull this off without Trump? Just wait, they said.

They are a little later than last time. The Charlottesville riot where Trump said there are "good people on both sides" was August 11, 2017.

They are really scared of a show of numbers in opposition. Will the Texas Guard start anything? Will the protestors protest them and start something? Hope not. I hope there is a million people in Austin that show up and loudly but peacefully make their voices heard that we are not a fascist state.

I don't know who designed this meme, but they weren't fined (penalty by the government) they paid a settlement to avoid a trial on the merits.

Would be interesting to have a side by side on the facts here versus Trump's cabinet.

Unfortunately he has his own gestapo and complicit red state governors willing to "protect" by shooting you.

Because:
1. There is no trillion dollars
2. They are having to use tariff money to bail out those hurt by them; and
3. Anything left over goes to the slush fund that is DHS and DOD.

This would just be silly if it weren't so deadly serious. Once all this dies down it will be like LA with a contingent of guardsmen permanently in place to do Trump's bidding.

It feels like our government thinks the country is a big frat and they are the cool kids.

That should be an interesting filing or evidence presentation.

He should have been on the floor next to a magazine.

We are going to hear how Bessent has changed the law or Trump gave an EO.
