We can only hope that he tries to deny federal funds to Indiana, bonus points for blabbing constantly about it, because the more he does it the more supporters he'll lose

Could be for almost any case - they're setting themselves up for a new form of standing objection.

The more of the universe of media is owned by these folks, the tighter the grip on overall news. They don't really care about serious news consumers like most Bluesky folks, they're after the masses and FOX has proven that the propaganda works.

Remarkable that we can't even agree on what the most egregious thing he's done because there are so many to choose from. We're fkd.

Cute analogy that proves the opposite of your point. You may not watch hockey, that's your choice and the results don't affect you, but that's not the way democracy works. We're all in the game and the outcome affects everyone, so if you don't show up on game day it matters.

So since traditional markets are steering away from Treasuries due to the tumult caused by Trumpenomics, we're inviting criminals to fill the gap. Linking this junk with no real-world use case to US debt only helps criminals, including the Trump family.

Sure, all it will take is getting legislation that fixes the problems through the same Congress that created those problems - piece of cake, right?

Without the original investigation and work product we won't learn much. The grand jury proceedings are just the easily actionable portion of the Maxwell indictments which, themselves, are only a modest part of the whole Epstein story.

No matter how many zeros Trump adds to his lies about costs dropping, the percentage dance only gets into the "hundreds" when things are going up. Hint: it's a bad thing, Donnie.

They've now lost just enough Republicans on this narrow issue that there's a real chance they'll now turn against the whole illegal debacle. Not enough gold crosses to keep this lie afloat

He'll do preemptive blanket pardons, he already has. It's a particularly difficult piece of the overall problem because it incentives his minions.

Nixon didn't exercise the pardon power. It's an absolute certainty that Trump will.

Ok, indeed. There's a 2024 ceasefire in place with Hezbollah and Israel just violated it. Turn off the pathetic snark apparatus, it just makes you look foolish.

Mamdani wore a nice suit, reminded Trump about important things he knows about like groceries, and appears to be KILLING IT in the news conference.

IIRC, part of the deal that got Mikey installed in the first place was allowing discharge petitions. Irony is not only read, it's rolling in its grave.

Nothing to see here folks, it's just what money does like JD Vance's interest in the deep pockets group that buys up distressed farms including those devastated by irrational tariffs.

Who actually believes this ridiculous dissembling? Karolyin' just said that when Trump is being a complete a$$hole, that's ok because he's just speaking his "truth" without guardrails. Pretty sure that the term for saying and doing whatever your inner 12 year old wants is not "frank."

So they green-lighted Trump's irrational reactions abetted by a crew that really, really wants to bomb as much as possible? Good luck with that.
