It's grimly comic that SCOTUS told Trump he's essentially an unaccountable dictator if he's willing to exert that authority in virtually any area and now he's (kind of understandably) confused about why it doesn't apply to tariffs

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans β€” including his MAGA base β€” believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.

But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.

Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

Does no good. Calls to his offices are a black hole.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

My Rep is Tom Emmer. People protest his local office every Saturday. I've called and emailed dozens of times to no effect other than getting put on his email subscriber list where he lies and deceives. I shouldn't have to pay taxes without rep.

Yep.

In a sane nation, just that goddamned Madison Square Garden rally alone last year would have been enough to doom a candidate to a 50 state loss.

A man who tried to overthrow the government being reelected was once unthinkable.

Yeah, we suck as a people.

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

We have to hold each one personally responsible for the crimes they commit. There is no other way.

Maybe their feelings of classism override all else. To avoid feeling lower class, they "join" the upper class. (Perceived upper/lower of course). Joining them stops the fear of them. It does not absolve them of their failure to be a good guy, but it may be a means of survival that supersedes duty.

That isn’t exactly a no, which makes me think we may be able to persuade you. You've proven your service to this country. It seems that answering this call of duty could be a requirement to remain true to how you feel about all of it. I'm sorry for bringing this up, but also please keep saving us.

Quickbooks online is probably the worst software that I have to keep using. If they could watch my user experience each week, they would be embarrassed. It is painful.

John Snow is a troll apparently. Makes a jack ass comment and never returns to face the music or respond to people calling him out.
