JD Vance told the nation that the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good was justified because he was almost run down some months ago.
I was almost run down by a car while on my motorcycle so according to Vance logic, I can shoot any motorist who make me feel fearful.

ICE/CBP agent commits cold blooded murder in Minneapolis. State and local authorities must identify, arrest and indict this guy. Any push back by Homeland Security must result in obstruction charges up to and including Noem.

The great sea battles in the Pacific during WWII and the fact that the Bismarck, Germany's biggest and baddest battleship was crippled by a British bi-plane that allowed it to be destroyed marked the end of the battleship.
Trump again shows his ignorance and his sycophants show a lack of courage

The $20 billion Argentine bailout is 100% about saving Milei's job and saving US billionaires who invested in Argentina.
This with Trump's plan to import their beef to undercut high US prices while at the same time Argentine farmers have taken over what was American farmer's China soybean market.

It is time to get serious about making sure that JD Vance never becomes president. People smarter than me need to get a strategy in place.
Of course, Dems must work to take back the WH and the congress but we must stop the lying, self serving puppet of Peter Thiel and the other plutocrats. Start

Trump sends troops to Portland where , unbeknownst to the residents of the "City of Roses" there is a war going on with Antifa.
The fact that antifa is not an organization or a group has not deterred Donny. Maybe he will add this imaginary war to list of wars he claims to have settled.

Donny told Bondi to "produce" some Epstein documents.
Are these the same docs that were on her desk, then magically no longer existed?
Or are these some new Epstein docs that never existed in the first place? The ones in the empty binders?

Real Trump Derangement would be wearing Trump clothes, flying flags, staging weekly parades, buying overpriced shoes, watches, guitars and coins.
And the refusal to consider any rebuttal or factual refutations of Trump's lies.
The ultimate derangement to believe that Trump cares anything about you.

Kristi Noem doesn't know what "Habeas Corpus" means?
Hey, give the girl a break. It's a Latin phrase. How is she supposed to know what it means? Does she look like a freaking Latina?

Donny likely got the idea for re-opening Alcatraz from the Clint Eastwood film shown on So. Florida PBS.
Maybe the PBS station should show "Judgement At Nuremberg" a few times so Donny knows what's in store for him and his cronies when he is done.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.
