So, if Congress does nothing what do we do? It looks like Cuba is next then will he actually provoke NATO with Greenland? I honestly believe Congress takes back some power or we're in some kind of weird inflatable frog Revolution.

I'm just going to say as someone who worked in politics for a long time, both as a journalist and a lobbyist that I have never seen such cowardly congressional members. This is literally a historical shift. My personal feeling is the next 3 years will be so bad they won't retain power for decades.

See? Always a manipulated Republican. W. wasn't a really such a bad guy, but he was an empty suit. THIS time the empty suit knows he can make a lot of $$ for himself. That's the difference. Nevertheless, the GOP has NEVER EVER been your friend unless you are wealthy. We never learn that lesson.

This blows my mind a bit, and technically I should remember it, but I don't. My parents let me read all sorts of "radical" stuff, though by today's standards. 😆

I have so many things to do. Most of them, I don't want to do because I just wanted a few days of fun holiday stuff, but Trump won't allow me to do that because he creates world chaos from a freakin' golf cart. I do hate this guy. My mom told me I could never use that word, but she never met him.

Wait....what century am I living in again?
On X, a senior U.S. Justice Department official is promoting a post that praises colonization as “one of the greatest things that ever happened to the backwards parts of the world.”👇

Yes.

This is unacceptable.
The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion.
This is the aftermath in one area

Yeah, this is an excellent observation, Chief Justice Roberts.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This is a very big deal for publicly traded oil companies. I said every U.S. Oil Executive walked around their house all day muttering the F word. Oil is at historic lows. There is no way they can justify that capital expenditure as an ROI. OPEC could devastate this deal, I suspect.
The US produces >13 mn barrels of oil per day. Venezuela produces <1 million bpd
There's a global oil glut i.e. lower prices. That's bad for US producers, who need higher prices to break even. Hard to imagine they're eager to make big new investments in an unstable place w/ decrepit infrastructure

This really pisses me off. This president is going to privatize public golf courses in his name. This is egregious. Don't get me started on other things other presidents never contemplated that he is doing.
apnews.com/article/golf... wants to overhaul the 'president's golf course.' He hasn't played there yet

Presidents often find solace in golfing, and Joint Base Andrews in Maryland is a favorite spot because it's close to the White House and has built-in security.

I streamed the old Highlander series tonight. I loved that show back in the day. I bought a sword when my son was little. You know, just in case. He was in 2nd grade and wrote that he felt safe because his mom had a sword. It makes me laugh because to him I was like Wonder Woman to him, I guess. 😂

This is insanely comical. I read where the Russians were riding horseback a week ago, and thought why is Trump saying Russia is winning? Why is Vance a Marine saying Russia is winning? All it takes at this point is a minimal effort on our point to kill off Russia for good. Power to the People!

One personal exchange I had yesterday with a very old friend I hadn't seen in years was, "You are just a big of a hoot as you were back then." I believe that was high praise indeed, and I endeavor to persevere with that notion. 😎

You know opening statement below would be all a jury would need to hear. I suspect the closing statement, if SCOTUS would have allowed it, would've been devastating. History will not be kind about this criminal activity, John Roberts.
I hope history remembers Jack Smith's succinct answer about what caused the attack on the US Capitol on Jan 6.

OK, CST folks. At the stroke of midnight I burned sage then opened the back door and told all the bad stuff to leave then I ran to the front door and invited all the good stuff in. Tomorrow I'm cooking cabbage and black eyed peas. These ceremonies should ensure Trump dies this week. 😂

Whut? So this is Trump's bunker when he refuses to leave office. Although, he has mouthpieces trying to downplay it in the media. This is exactly where his addled brain is in real time.
Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

Literally, there is one man standing between actually destroying the Russian Empire after decades of trying, and he is the U.S. President. Just remember all of your family and friends that died, or were wounded in battle, to achieve this purpose, and this president wants to just hand it all over.
