All over Los Angeles, dealers are getting twice daily texts from Aaron Sorkin. That will go up once he actually starts writing.

I seem to remember something happening around the last time he left Washington...
I've frequently said this at various points, and the response from some is "His back isn't against the wall. He is the president. He always comes out on top, and he knows it."

Yes. He is the president until he's not. But his fatal flaw is he really does care what people think, and he panics.
This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

Make the son of a bitch deny it.

At least they were consenting adults.
This is maybe the first time I’ve felt he’s in actual trouble. I never thought Mueller would get him, nor did I expect Biden to go for the throat. I don’t know how it ends here, and I’m not saying he can’t get out of it. But it’s the worst trouble he’s been in.

Ask yourself who was in charge of the DOJ when Epstein was in his final act? What did he ultimately do about Trump? Nothing. If he could have gone to the court, he would have been a bigger swing vote than Kennedy. Which was the point, I'm sure, but we are all worse for knowing that man's name.
In my opinion, one of the most egregious things Obama ever did was bring Merrick Garland to national prominence. Garland is the living embodiment of the third-way, do-nothing attempts to appease the GOP. Curse Biden, too, for digging him up and making him AG.

Mrs. Trump.
Rome is going to excommunicate someone as an example.

That sumbitch...
99% of Republicans understand nothing about intraleft politics. they’re still saying shit like “you won’t be so happy when BILL CLINTON is implicated will you?”

Now they need tech that reads it for them slowly, and omitting the big words.
Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Yes, but how do you get the flat-earthers and mouth-breathers on board? There are more of them than ever now.
They are sweating on the mat. But the closer you are to 30, the the closer you are to being down for the count.
Dumb question sir: Why wait for 33%? Considering the steady downhill slide you'd think their pants would be on fire now.

In the same way a kid dodges a red rubber ball to the face in phys. ed.
Karoline Leavitt just dodged answering a question directly about whether Trump ever spent "hours" at Jeffrey Epstein's house with a victim.
November 12, 2025 at 7:38 PM
Press secretaries are like Kleenex: thin, disposable, and used to mop up unpleasant messes.
Q: Given you answers about transparency, why are WH officials meeting with Boebert in an effort to get her to not sign the Epstein files petition?

LEAVITT: Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress?
November 12, 2025 at 7:37 PM
Exactly. That's what he had Hunt and Liddy for.
In President Nixon’s White House, conversations about non-military or non-national security issues did not typically take place in the Situation Room.
November 12, 2025 at 7:31 PM
What in the hell was Boebert doing in the Situation Room?
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."
November 12, 2025 at 7:28 PM
What did I tell you? Watch: he's going to send the National Guard into Manhattan or some damn thing. He will do anything to change the topic.
Look, the entire shutdown was a massive misdirection, anyway. You are already hearing people talk about the Epstein stuff again. Yet here come the holidays in a couple of weeks. Trump's just going to keep doing sleight of hand to keep the media distracted.
November 12, 2025 at 7:26 PM
Maybe we can talk him into giving up his dukedom.
In a trial it would be enough to force a deal.
November 12, 2025 at 4:39 PM
He's going to try to keep this going until the midterms. There's talk of a mini RNC in Las Vegas. It's all showbiz, which has proven to be one of his most valuable assets as a politician. It's all-singing, all-dancing from here on out. If he has the steam, he might start doing rallies again.

The court really does not give a fig about identity politics of any kind. It's the deeper policy stuff, the imperial presidency and how the country is actually won, that they care about. That should concern everyone.
I doubt there are five votes to overturn Obergefell. Even if there were, standing is almost impossible to prove.
November 11, 2025 at 12:07 PM
They will need to shut it down and hand the task and budget to the FBI.
It’s at a point where the next Democrat president will have to abolish the agency and start again. That is the realistic solution. Pritzker is close to saying that, I think. He can’t yet.
Do you see a "politically realistic" solution to this issue of masked gangs in swag, no ID, marauding harmless people without recourse?

In other words, at what point do Dems understand that their fear of "looking soft on crime" has made them ignore actual violent crime by this regime, and speak up?
November 9, 2025 at 9:52 PM
They are all weaker. This is as close as the Dems come to open revolution or even fighting in public. Jeffries and Schumer are in Boehner territory. In two years, ol' Chuck could be lobbying for a sports book.
With Pelosi off the Hill I wonder the extent to which it weakens Jeffries.

So far this week:

Monday: Dick Cheney kicks it
Tuesday: 34-yo Muslim becomes mayor of NYC
Wednesday: Gorsuch raises grave concerns abt Congress abdicating the power to declare war
Thursday: Pelosi announces retirement
November 6, 2025 at 2:11 PM
Pelosi retires. This seems like an odd time, but by the time she actually leaves, there will likely be a significant Dem wave. Schumer is going to feel the heat.
November 6, 2025 at 2:13 PM
Satan looked down at that phone, realized Cheney was on his way, then began work on a tenth circle of Hell. The contractors. The extra noise. It's like he's fallen all over again. And yet, it's the only thing to be done... youtu.be/uWepTCBBnLo?...
