Also, he's so oily and slimy that I need to shower after listening to him.

this explains why Karp was the first to macerate his knees (and ruin his fine Italian wool pants) crawling to Trump to make a deal. In so doing, he opened the sluice of law firms following suit. Legally, didn’t he owe his law partners a duty of loyalty not to sell them out to save his derrière?

Re legacy media -I saw an ICE ad on Morning Joe this morning and wondered if the Dems had an ad about voting machine confiscation whether FOX et al. would air it. I concluded that legacy media would NOT air such an ad (except maybe at 3:00 a.m.) so how do we break through this wall of lies?

We should reserve some contempt for Markwayne’s colleague lindsey graham who apparently started this idiotic train of thought.

He thinks that if he responds to questions with feigned righteous indignation & contempt it will be so off-putting so as to discourage further questioning of his brilliant intellect. Rather than being put off, most people respond by detesting him more.

After meeting with Noem sans Miller, Trump can never resist a botoxified, massively lip-injected, pancaked foundations cosplayer.

To quote Senator Whitehouse, the Trump Justice Department is “part gangsta and part gong show.”

Yet another revolting example of the ethnic cleansing objective of Trumpian so-called immigration enforcement.

Two things- 1. It’s surprising that mobile phones may be the ‘weapon’ that saves democracy in the U.S.; 2. While I agree that Noem and Bondi should be impeached- but Hegseth and Patel need to go as well (it feels sexist to leave them out). Also how do we get rid of Miller (the embodiment of evil).

With her blackmail letter to Gov. Walz, Pam Bondi again has shown herself to be a cretinous sycophant for Trump -hmmm...first lying under oath to Congress and now this nasty blackmail business - these crimes will not only cost her her law license but also may buy her some orange coveralls.

Can’t we impeach Blanche too?

Given their blatant disregard of the law (lots of them), at what point do we get to plan the disbarments of Blanche and Bondi (an attempt to have her FL license to practice for lying to Congress and other offenses, which failed because, well, what would you expect from FL?

doesn’t the release of pics of Bill Clinton belie the DOJ’s “pending investigations” argument to withhold or redact Epstein files?

Once a “playboy” always a “playboy”? This is the most offensive line in Susie’s entire interview- “playboy” is so tame -an excusable foible. At least with respect to Epstein, more apt descriptors would be “pervert” “perp” “psycho” -maybe it was just a malapropism because they all begin with “p.”

I always wonder why Trump wouldn’t want to protect his grandchildren’s ability to live on planet earth. I always answer my own question with “such an obvious answer- he’s a malignant narcissist- he never ever puts any person or thing above his greed and power.”

Trump’s comments about Somalis today were a close second to Hegseth’s - the latter seemed like he was trying out his new (?3rd?4th) story about his 9/2/25 war crime to see how the audience reacted (the combined IQ of those at the table was 50 - we the people are orders of magnitude smarter).

Apparently, Halligan’s attitude in Court was as disgustingly supercilious as that of her boss when she was questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Adelita Grijalva was on Nicolle Wallace’s show today and she said that one thing that has surprised her since she her swearing in is ‘how easily people lie’ - I believe she said this while speaking of the Speaker (she has a fair for understatement, no?)
