In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

You know how Jonas Salk proved the safety of the polio vaccine to the public by first giving to himself and his own family? I’ve got a great idea for him to show the shipping companies it’s ok to take the risk

In Norway we log into a government website, check if everything is already filled in correctly, make any necessary changes, and press "ok". Usually takes about 5 minutes, and it's free. Capitalism is great, huh?

Pete has been bragging about his "precision strikes" - I'd like to have someone reconcile that with the destruction of the girls' school. Was it intentional or are those strikes not as precise as he describes? Can't have it both ways.

Does that mean they may pull some money away from the Trump/Kushner machine?

So we pro-actively cause a situation where Russia's oil becomes needed and then approve of the sales? There's a special place in hell.....

This seems reasonable. Forcing military resources to support business resources at this point would be foolish. I'm trying to figure out who was wise enough in this administration to decide this.

I lived there when the "audit" was approved for 2020 election. No experience in election audit, funded by Trump supporters - even then, they couldn't come up with anything. Isn't there a statute of limitations here?

They all seem to think that we can just "demand" or "wish" and make things possible. That's not how reality works.

Well, we keep posting the White House schedule daily - maybe they'll get the hint.

When was the last time this asswipe bought his own groceries, filled up the gas tank in his car, navigated a doctor's appointment and insurance? I always tried to find the good in people and not to hate, but that's all gone now!

That's my question. They are on the Titanic and are sitting in the lounge waiting for the ship to upright itself.

He cannot distinguish between the authoritarian regime and the people (including the protestors he was going to protect). He just wants everyone to obey him.

and also means people are less likely to file at all, which increases the noncompliance and puts people in danger of having accounts or wages impounded. Almost like they don't want people to be in compliance..... oh....

We can stop fighting (whatever that means) but doesn't mean Iran is done.

He's willing to be a useful tool until he's not needed and is discarded. Cuba is a pawn for MAGA.

Exactly why I say no funds for Iran War. Yes, I care about the troops, but if we fund everything that T screws up, he gets funding and we get screwed.

How about just banning prediction markets altogether? Provides entertainment for no one but those who plan to benefit from insider information.

In 1777 Jefferson said that neither Pagan nor Mohammedan (Muslim) nor Jew should be excluded from civil rights. As President, hosting a Tunisian ambassador,he moved the start of dinner so as not to conflict with Ramadan. The Founding fathers were faulty, but thei believed in freedom of religion.

I was hoping this was AI but evidently it is fact checked true. Are they hoping to make him the next DHS head if Markwayne fizzles?

Love the Titanic reference. That's a great analogy. I'd also refer you to "!929" by Adam Sorkin on the wealthy supporting the runup to the Great Depresssion.
