I find it's faster to replace all Trump quotes with "some dumb shit." For example:

Pandas returned to DC this year and Trump said "*some dumb shit*."

It saves time and brain cells and it's always true.
Why was Trump soft on Mamdani? Trump is strong when others are weak and weak when others are strong. Mamdani is strong right now so Trump was weak.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

DC statehood now
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

1) There were interviews. Fox didn't air them.
2) Due process isn't just for people we think are innocent. It's for everyone, even when we think they are guilty.
3) The US benefits from countries observing the traditional laws of the sea, and has every reason to set that example.
