Wow, trump didn't celebrate a black man who won the Nobel peace prize.

Imagine that.
“Trump is the first president not to issue an official proclamation recognizing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day since President Reagan made it a holiday.”

Remember how Obama used to flip the bird at his critics?

Yeah, me neither.

That look you get when you steal an entire country for the oil and nobody wants the oil.

A Mexican kid waited on us on foot at a drive-through yesterday, and my first thought was that he was a sitting duck for ICE.

My first thought.

Good for the dogs. At least they didn't get a load of buckshot in a gravel pit.
They aren’t spending your money well.

So . . . it's illegal to tell soldiers that it's illegal for them to follow illegal orders? Have I got that straight?

Small Claims and Evictions: Mistakes

"Small claims and eviction courts are a paradox. The system was created so people can represent themselves without a lawyer, yet it is not designed to teach them how."

This little book tells how. By a retired magistrate with 17 years experience.

So, trump offers a $100,000 to every resident of Greenland willing to sell out to the USA?

Hell, I'll sell him the entire state of Georgia for $100,000 and toss in Australia to boot.

For 17 years I issued (or denied) thousands of warrants as a magistrate. The video of the Renee Good killing shows that there was no justification for deadly force. I would seriously consider a murder warrant against the ICE officer who executed her.

As a retired judge, I agree wholeheartedly with Dr Yannick. At worst Ms. Good was fleeing the stop at low speed, and there was no justification for deadly force.
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

If releasing the Epstein files would "hurt his friends," what does that say about his choice of friends?

It will be interesting to see if Chevron can funnel the money to trump without leaving a trail, because it's going to be a shitload of money to hide.

They say dementia makes people the worst version of themselves. For example, a grifter who progresses from a necktie swindle to stealing an entire country for its oil.
