Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

Being a lawyer and all, do you know what the tipping point is for it to become acceptable to openly advocate for political assassinations? Just a little curious, is all.

The FEC has a "Green Card exception" for campaign donations. This means, for $5 million, any Russian, Saudi or Chinese national can buy their way into the United States, then immediately start dumping money into political races. They don't even need to wait for citizenship.

Trump and Musk are testing the limits, trying to sell America on being an authoritarian state — but they can’t do it unless we allow them to do so.

A good illustration of first vs second Trump term. In the first, Trump drew a fake hurricane path on a map with a sharpie. In the second, Elon Musk’s twentysomething minions have taken over computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration directly.
