Another line of attack: White House sets up a hall of shame for news outlets President Donald Trump's White House has established a hall of shame for journalists it finds guilty of media bias as it looks for new avenues of attack against legacy news outlets.

Yeah, the 1st Amendment is just a suggestion.

Wow. The first annual FIFA Peace Prize. Awarded at the Trump/Kennedy Center and Donald Trump won it on the same day Trump’s Admiral Bradley defended extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea. Hard to believe that they didn’t award it at the new Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace.

A member of the Democratic Party is a Democrat.

Trump likes to call it the Democrat Party because he thinks it sounds more like a slur.

It’s been the Democratic Party since 1828. Calling it the Democrat Party is just adding a Markwayne Mullins accent to it. democrats.org

How ironic that the new Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace was, in the words of Judge Beryl Howell, “taken over with blunt force, backed up by law enforcement officers from three separate local and federal agencies." Sounds like a new “Truth” Social.

‘We're Gonna Kill Them:’ Trump Signals No Formal Declaration Of War Against Venezuelan Drug Cartels At least nine U.S. military strikes have been carried out against alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean since September.

This is about as close to a “kill them all” order as you can get.

How does he get away with this crap?

The notion that 2 survivors in a skiff hit by a Hellfire missile can climb back in the skiff after the strike and continue to deliver their cargo of drugs to a destination 500 miles away is only plausible to a Republican. To believe this is to believe January 6th was a “love-fest.”

Maybe Trump is not the best person to judge guilt or innocence. His own legal brushes with the courts seem to indicate he’s not wild about due process.

The one qualification that all Trump Cabinet Secretaries have is that they are spectacularly unqualified to do their job.

Mr President, any advice for Putin?
