The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

National Guard member killed in D.C. shooting remembered for 'heart of gold'
The slain soldier’s former boyfriend recalled her empathy and generosity. “She doesn’t even have to know you and she’ll do anything for you,” he said.

While Trump is ordering the FBI to investigate U.S. Senators over a video reminding military members they don’t have to follow illegal orders, it might be worth noting that “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Donald Trump publicly calls for the execution of Democratic congressmen, and Republicans don’t bat an eye. But as soon as you make a joke about Charlie Kirk’s views, all hell breaks loose.

The only people Trump likes and admires are his fellow monsters. The rest of us don't matter. What galls me is that a majority of Americans knew exactly who Trump is and decided he was a better choice than a Black woman. I don't think I'll ever get over that.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.
A man pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in January 6th - he assaulted Capitol Police officers with bear spray & a metal whip - has avoided prison for child sex crimes because of the president’s sweeping pardon, despite pleading guilty to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex

Is there a single member of the Trump administration that hasn't told a bald-faced lie to reporters? Do news reports ever tell the people that these are lies? The country is simply not going to survive. We get tired of saying it but it is true, corporate media would not allow this from Democrats.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Trump obviously meant it when he told the older Christians that they only had to come out to vote once more, and then everything will be fixed. He meant it, and the media laughed it off. He meant it, and they told Harris and others not to be so bombastic. He meant it. He Meant It.

What do the republicans, or the billionaires, or Putin have on John Roberts? Did Roberts really ensure that the Trump autocracy could emerge because he doesn't believe in democracy? Because he doesn't believe in the constitution or his oath to it? Or is he being blackmailed?
