Mary Trump claims that Donald is like he is because his mommy didn't love him. Problem is, there are a lot of people whose mommies didn't love them and most of them act like normal human beings. There is something else going on here and I suspect it's hereditary.

The screwy thing is, Dumbo doesn't even have legal authority to issue tariffs. Any normal time, he would have been removed by now.

It has occurred to me that the problem with congress is that they are too wealthy to care that these tariffs are hurting the American consumer. If they were just average Joes, they would be jumping up and down and spitting wooden nickels at this nonsense.

At some point a federal judge is going to have to order the governor of Minnesota to call up the national guard and begin to protect his citizens from being assaulted by the ICE thugs occupying Minneapolis and St. Paul. And furthermore, to not allow the guard to be federalized.

One imagines a baseball game where one side follows the rules and the other side gets to do whatever they want, including shooting base runners and extorting the umpires. And the rule abiding side does nothing about the other side except complain to the umpires and boycott the hot dog vendors.

Ask yourself why Sascha Riley isn't trending.

In regards to Sascha Riley, q.v., welcome to the new timeline.

The Hindustan Times article on Sascha Riley is particularly weasel worded. One would think that these news sources would do a little digging on their own rather than just lobbing questioning articles at it.
January 15, 2026 at 5:20 PM
MSN has an article up that comes real close to poo pooing the entire story. Terms like "claiming," "alleged," and even "Amid the lack of authenticity around the tapes....", whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. I have to assume the author meant "lack of authentication." Sounds like a hit piece

Face it.

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, wearing mask, not identifying themselves and using aggressive “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens alike. Americans are resisting, as they should.

It is time to defund ICE!

There's a child molester in the White House whose goons are maiming and murdering American citizens and the spineless cowards in the congress are incapable of removing him. Your complicity will be remembered until the sun burns out.

I call out the governors of Trump-invaded states to call out the national guard, the supreme court be damned. In Trump's world, laws are meaningless.

The Greenlanders should tell Trump he can have the island if he visits the subzero Glacier Hotel after they build a fake hotel entrance over a bottomless crevice in the ice. "I can't wait to own this wonderful Islllllaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn...."

Just another "for the record." This was generated by AI, but sounds reasonable enough:

"State police in Minnesota, specifically the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), typically intervene in local investigations when requested by local law enforcement...."

"...When requested...."!

Just for the record, Minneapolis has a Violent Crimes Investigations Division. Whether murder is technically a state crime, that doesn't prevent the city from investigating. I'm sure the TV show Castle isn't complete fiction.

At least Trump's record of business failures suggests he couldn't win a war against New Jersey, let alone nuclear armed Europe.

Knowing Trump, one has to wonder what the thieving little bastard thinks he can sell that Greenland possesses. It's always about Trump, his bank account, and nothing else. He'd sell his own mother for fertilizer if he got enough money for her.

Maybe the Venezuelan military should hatch a plan to kidnap Donald Poopy Pants and try him in Venezuela. Turn about is fair play.

Keep in mind that December 25, or whatever they called it, was just the first Sunday after the winter solstice in the ancient even week year, as March 25 was the first Sunday after the vernal equinox. They were solar holidays, hence celebrated on the day of the sun:

Listening to Countdown with Keith Olbermann on Monday, at least as much as I could stand. What makes some people think that calling something a "conspiracy theory" somehow automatically makes it untrue? Do they not understand that a conspiracy is any illegal act committed by more than one person?
