Pete Hegseth claims Mark Kelly could be re-activated to fail court martial proceedings. That and James Comey being indicted are two of the most outlandish decisions I've heard.

I wonder if Donald Trump has apologized for anything he's done or said in his 79 years. He's done so many mean things to so many people but he too often believes he's a victim.

I'm so sick of the live clips of ICE agents bullying people, hitting them, breaking their car windows, often asking no questions. This is not the American way of life by any definition.

Why has no one in the media inquired what Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to do after her early reresignation? She should go on a mea culpa campaign and makes some money on the speakers circuit.

Trump said Ukraine showed "zero" gratitude" for U.S. peace efforts. Actually, Zelenskyy didn't appreciate the U.S. proving zero support in Ukraine's attempt to withstand Russia's aggression.

The lawmakers call for military to resist obeying illegal orders is no different then reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Trump couldn't have selected a worse administration. Going down the list, Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, RFK Jr., Noem, Homan, McMahon, Blanche, Bongino, Miller. He couldn't have done worse if he put a large bunch of names on a wall, put on a blindfold and tossed darts.

Two important things facing Trump, national health-care and a Russia-Ukraine settlement, and he's screwing up both. Instead of extending the ACA while searching for a better plan, he's offersed a far-fetched plan, and in the Russia-Ukraine settlement, he's giving Russia virtually everything.

I don't take great delight in Marjorie Taylor Greene's demise. I'm glad she's leaving because she defied the Peter Principle by getting into office but was indulged by her party, with Trump mocking her despite her blind loyalty.That's the way I'd like to see him ushered office.

Trump's alliance with Russia is an extremely frightening situation, he is putting us in the same camp as China, North Korea, and other authoratarian countries. I have to believe Putin has got something embarrassing on Trump.

Based on Karoline Leavitt's dealings with the media, she ought to seriously consider to go back home and raise her child. She is one worthless spokesperson.

While Trump's administration is busy selling Ukraine out in negotiations with Russia, the president is busy trying to get 6 Democrats charged with treason and suggesting the death penalty. You just can't make stuff like this up. Call it the Epstein Derangement Syndrome.

Donald Trump does his business through the guise of international relations benefiting the U.S. Donald Trump is a power freak who is not about to let his two older sons run his business. He constantly keeps his finger on his businesses.

Trump, the quintessential control freak, claims he has no idea what's happening with his personal business, that his sons are in charge. Sure, he's the most transparent president in history. Hogwash!!!!!

Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fl), in response to Trump saying "Quiet. Quiet Piggy" to a female reporter, "Nobody is perfect." Salazar has two daughters. Damn.

Trump's address to the McDonald's audience was bizaerre. He spent most of his talk off topic and, of course, he boasted countless times and bad-mouthed Biden. He's not just a bad public speaker, he's clueless on numerous levels.

Another press conference, another Trump feud with the media. He also emphasized what close friends he is with the Crown Prince who is believed to have journalist Khashoggi murdered and chopped up. And, again, he boasted ad nauseam.

ICE cherry picks. Agents detain immigrants who are going to work, are complying to immigrantion meetings, participate in community activities. The percentage of apprehending the worst of the worst is miniscule.

Trump has a plan to keep the Epstein files concealed. While he's acting as if he has nothing to hide, he almost certainly has a plan to keep the files secret, and hopefully, if this happens, the nation will rebel.

Trump has told reporters on several occasions, "You can't talk to a president that way," but Trrump has too frequently insulted reporters when he has been asked a controversal question, calling them "you're an awful reporter" or even referring to them as low-IQ.

No matter what happens with the Epstein files, if the House passes the release but the Senate votes it down (my guess), Trump is still a sleaze and will always be a sleaze.

Trump has assembled the greatest confederacy of dunces in presidential history. They all have at least, I repeat at least, one major flaw but they have one unified goal and that's to make the Orange One happy.
