Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi.

Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs.

Remember that incident a few weeks ago where 2 brothers were arrested for allegedly plotting to kill gestapo agents in Virginia after an off duty cop supposedly heard them talking at a waffle house? Well, it turns out tue charges were dropped because there was no evidence. Cops and gestapo lied.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

In the last Presidential election several people saw it as a choice between the usual political corruption and lots and lots and lots of open corruption and they chose the latter.
That isn't even as smart as cynicism.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.

Trump’s power stems from his corruption and willingness to accept bribes from the criminally wealthy. They support him because he promises to fulfill their desires. To Trump, the US Constitution, law and order, international standing, and world peace are insignificant compared to his insatiable ego.
