JD Vance's steady assertion of hostile claims against Greenland, which rarely ever rate a mention in US newspapers, are front page news across northern Europe.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

When you elect a childish man to high office, it's no surprise that childish people will work for him. Seasoned officials would never release this ignorance.
Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Laws and constitutions are famously non-self-enforcing. The only real safeguard against a US president ignoring the law while holding the reins of law enforcement and military might is to not elect assholes who abdicate their civil duties.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?
