Rand Paul believes in due process of the law, JD Vance does not. Vance's attitude toward alleged Venezuelan drug runners is kill 'em first and sort it out later.

The Media’s Urge to Be “Fair” to Trump Is Killing the Republic
Seventy percent of Republicans understand that Trump’s tariffs will raise prices. Why is the press acting like they’re a huge success?

Mikey, I think you must have misread this “poll”….. if it had said 90% of Americans despise Trump, I could have believed that….
this is truly one of the most outrageous lies I have ever heard, which is really saying something considering how much these folks lie
Mike Johnson on Trump: "His approval ratings are skyrocketing. CNN had a story a day or two ago -- he was at a 90 percent approval rating! There's never been a president that high."

“As of right now, we've raised $313,523 toward our $376,000 goal. That leaves $62,477 - and this was just 12 hours, 6am to 6pm.”
We at Louisville Public Media just lost $376,000 due to Congress passing the rescission bill last night to claw back funds from public media across America. Today we’re asking those who value our work to help make up those funds in an emergency drive so we can maintain the staff/services we provide:

Right. Let me get this straight: Biden administration “added and deleted things” for four years and did nothing with the files.
Ron Johnson is a moron.
Ron Johnson suggests Democrats tampered with the Epstein files: "I do know that the Epstein files were in the custody of the Biden administration. I don't know to what extent they added or deleted things."

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Trump is so profoundly stupid, so completely ignorant…..he can’t possibly understand why Liberia exists. A simple-minded fool.
Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.
Trump to the President of Liberia: "Such good English. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?"

English is the official language of Liberia...

All the attention span of a fruit fly….
LMAO -- Trump gestures to one of the African leaders to wrap it up and then says, "maybe we're gonna have to go a bit quicker than this, because we have a whole schedule. If I could just have your name and country it would be great."
