Stephen, I have been conflicted about the death penalty for 50 years. On one hand I think the government shouldn't be killing it's citizens, on the other, if there is no doubt that someone has committed a heinous crime, get rid of them. If you aren't conflicted, you may have issues.

Trump Administration Forces Maine Parents To Visit Social Security Offices To Register Newborns (UPDATE) The Social Security Administration canceled contracts that allowed Maine parents to sign up newborns for Social Security numbers at the hospital.

There's a word I'm searching for, oh yes, it's INCOMPETENT.

Too long to post here but if you can find Dr. Timothy Snyder's (of "On Tyranny") update on the coup, it's well worth the read. The unfortunately prescient image, "With Wreckless Abandon," is by me from a few years ago.

What an image!

He did this in his first term and he's doing it again. The grift is strong in that one.

Veterans Fired From Federal Jobs Say They Feel Betrayed, Including Some Who Voted For Trump Veterans who have been abruptly fired from federal jobs say they feel betrayed by the Trump administration's dramatic downsizing of government.

On one hand I sympathize, on the other hand I just shake my head. Trump has never expressed any support for veterans yet they supported him biggly. Turn off Fox and watch real news!

More Than 5,000 Fired USDA Employees Just Got Their Jobs Back The Merit Systems Protection Board significantly broadened a previous decision to restore six federal workers' jobs after Trump illegally terminated them.

With this kind of shit it's easy to see how Trump has bankrupted so many businesses and Musk has lost so much money on X.

I swore I wouldn't watch it but like a moth to flame I can't help myself. And also like the moth, I'm drawn to the bourbon bottle!

Joe Biden brought the world together to stand with Ukraine. Donald Trump has brought the world together to stand against the US.

During Trump's 1st term it looked like he manipulated the stock market. Is it happening again? He says something to tank the market, then he says something bullish. It would be interesting to see what he, his family and friends do when the market tanks. Not saying it's true, but many are asking.

Crews Battle Wildfires In North And South Carolina Amid Dry Conditions And Gusty Winds South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) declared a state of emergency to support the response effort.

Call in the Federal firefighters, oh wait. Call in FEMA, oops. Well, next time take your forests!

Chuck Schumer is an old clown. We need new Senate leadership. Murphy, Schiff and a few others would be good..

This is who the Radical Far Right Republicans voted for. We are seriously fucked.

There is no longer any doubt, Putin is holding something over Trump. Could be the pee tape, could be something happened when Trump held the Miss Universe contest in Moscow, I don't know but there has to be something.

Unfortunately, because the right controls most of the media, many voters may never know.

But at least we still have Russia and North Korea on our side.

Adam Kinzinger Makes A Strong Case For Trump's 'Really Bad Day' After Zelenskyy Clash The ex-GOP congressman said the U.S. isn't "the good guys in this" after Trump and JD Vance's "embarrassing" shouting match with the Ukrainian president.

Trump's boss told him to attack Zelenskyy so he did. And why the hell was JD even speaking to, let alone lecturing, the President of another country? I started buying the EUAD ETF last week as Europe is going to go it alone. The US is less safe thanks to Radical Far Right Republicans.

'Doing Putin's Dirty Work': Trump Slammed After Clash With Zelenskyy In Oval Office "What an utter embarrassment for America. This whole sad scene," one Democratic senator lamented.

Lindsey Graham used to support our allies but since he fell under the Putin/Trump axis he's become nothing more than an hysterical joke.

To paraphrase: Trump can't handle the truth.

We are less safe after today

Full Video: Trump-Zelenskyy Oval Office meeting explodes into shouting match President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance argued with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with Vance accusing Zelenskyy of disrespect.

I have never been so embarrassed by a President of the US. No wonder other leaders hate Trump. JD was like a yapping puppy. We are less safe.

Beneath you man.

Tommy Tuberville Accidentally Names Comic Book Demon During Rant The Alabama Republican name-checked the “living embodiment of evil itself” in a Fox News interview.

Whenever you think that Tommy Tuberville can't get any dumber he just proves you wrong! He is a testament to the poor educational system in the South.

Andrew Tate’s Return Is A Huge Win For The Internet’s Most Influential Misogynists The Trump administration reportedly pressed Romania to free Tate — signaling that the sexual abuse of women won’t just be brushed under the rug, but rewarded.

What would you expect. Since Epstein is dead Trump needs a new source.

First Reagan and now Trump. Radical Far Right Republicans, making the skies less safe
