to the sun above the clouds.
Sun that givest all things birth,
shine on everything on earth!
If that's too much to demand,
shine at least on this our land.
If even that's too much for thee,
shine at any rate on me.

The timing of the supposed release of the files just before the holidays - on a Friday afternoon no less - is strategic. This all has been planned for a long time. Congressmen and others in power are not going to do anything before next year.

Basic reality:
1) There was no cease fire
2) The Epstein files will not be released
3) The “Warrior Dividend” is just the asshole putting his name on Congressional appropriations
4) The tariffs are taxes on us, paid by us
5) Venezuela is not sending fentanyl to our shores, and its oilfield were never ours

Basic reality:
Who actually thought DOJ would release the Epstein files?
Who thinks they will be released in future?
If you raised your hand you fail to realize the real disaster we are in.

Why is it difficult to believe the FBI announcement of the LA terrorist plot that they uncovered? Kash has destroyed their credibility to its core.

The bottom third of the US population that determined the last election, made us into a third world nation run by a tiinpot dictator.

The military destroying unarmed small craft in international waters are culpable regardless of what idiot gave them orders to do so. Time to give up those pensions to save your honor.

How can WV Gov Morrisey dare to stand up in front of his constituents having sent WV NG to DC for some propaganda ploy that trump is playing. Total BS. All republicans suck.

Did I miss something? Heard nothing on the NG shooter. Wounded? Condition? Motive? Or have these facts been hidden like all others?

The idea that the wealthy pay all the taxes is as bogus an argument as trickle down.
The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

I'm sure the reminder for the military not to follow illegal orders is aimed at senior officers. Unfortunately, these are the ones most concerned with seeking political advancement and protecting their pensions.

It is not the fault of the average people, but the super rich who with their new found power granted by the SC, are why we in this morass of tyranny, wholesale destruction of our government, and moral decay.

trump is going to screw the Ukrainians like he did to the Kurds in Iraq, our allies, in his first term. He will never support those oppressed or in need, only the aggressors and the powerful. A man without morality, empathy or a sense of justice. Only greed and power seeking. A truly evil man.

In future, as trump supporters filter away from being in thrall with him, we should not feel obligated to offer forgiveness for their past transgressions. They are the ones who got us here.

Lots of advertising these days to entice Medicare recipients to trade their guaranteed care for managed care (whatever the insurance companies will approve). Sounds like care based on maximum profitability for the insurance companies.

So the latest con job is that the shutdown can now be blamed for economic downturns rather than the trump tariffs and other economic malfeasance.

I think AG and DG were right: The senators caved to satisfy their airline industry donors before the Thanksgiving holiday. Most travel of the entire year. Big bucks. And Larry spent two shows trying to rationalize their votes and make them martyrs.

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

How idiotic must the Dems be to think they're going to win a vote on the ACA in future? Obvious that they don't. So they let the Rs off the hook for their government shutdown and let their constituents suffer. Great work, Dems. No more funding for you.
