Perhaps 1000s of drivers should volunteer to drive near the border & return inland on back country roads to thwart this. They don't have enough agents to stop everyone

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/o... Maduro is certainly a bad dude who is as evil as Saddam was. But there is no way to intervene without US troops on the ground, some who will die. As a former Army Captain, I oppose that. Maybe Stephens should enlist and grab a rifle & join the fight.

As bad as Trump is, at least with him you know what you're getting. With Vance, as my wife says, he's a chameleon. There's something off-putting & "ain't right" about him.

The vice president had an uncomfortably close embrace with Charlie Kirk’s widow, for everyone to witness.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.
Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?
Yeah, *that*

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.
Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Kimmel’s estimated Tuesday viewership (on TV alone) was 6.26 million, but since ABC’s Sinclair & NextStar affiliates censored that number only represents 77% of the possible number. Factoring back in the blacklisting stations, it’s possible that his projected rating would have been 8.13 million.
