What to call King Minus’ foreign policy “strategy” that keeps people “on their toes”? Instead of the “madman” strategy, I call it borderline personality with a side of malignant narcissism. Walking on eggshells isn’t healthy for anyone, let alone a world full of nukes.

It’s wild that DHS has $ millions for ICE to buy buildings for concentration camps, but FEMA can’t fully fund disaster relief. Maybe instead of being Nazis, we could use those funds to help the people this administration has left unhoused. Govt. budget allocation is a moral document.

Read a rumor today that Alito may retire. Although he's always in that "pocket," it would give tRump FOUR appointees.
They have not been in the news lately, but I sincerely doubt any of the SIX have grown a conscience.

While King Minus puts into place the people and machinery to ensure a Republican win, I hope Democrats aren’t playing 6-dimensional chess the way I thought they must’ve been doing when. SCOTUS seat was stolen or when Garland was AG … www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

President Trump keeps threatening to unilaterally impose rules (like voter ID requirements) on upcoming elections.
Monday’s "One First" explains why—whether as a matter of constitutional law, existing federal statutes, or simple, practical logistics—his (ominous) threats are ultimately empty ones:
Florida: we deported all your hard working employees, but have no fear, we're bringing back child labor to fix it.
Seems like Democrats have all sorts of messaging opportunities here

A strange find from the Epstein files:
A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."
Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

He tried to warn us then. I needed no warning. As a native New Yorker and a sentient human being, I’ll never understand how anyone could have voted for him.

The more undocumented immigrants (and American citizens) arrested, the more money these private hell holes make.
An incestuous relationship between the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime & private prisons. Beyond disgusting!

An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.
Also:
Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections
Remember when we used to check out the Herman Cain Awards for bitter entertainment? Good times.
