For a prick, Piers is a good interviewer. He has the skills to expose a dinosaur misogynist with ease.

Some in Congress are not afraid of him? Why don't just come and say it that 1-2 GOP are finally breaking with him, and it makes a difference. Hundreds of Dems haven't been afraid of him for years. We could of been done with him a long time ago if at least 25% of GOP walked away from him.

The airports need places where we can lay down and take naps during long layovers, not gyms. I believe Frankfurt airport has an area with recliner like chairs. Do more of that.

Great title! Naughty's character arc- a naughty group of kids use their skills of mischief for a good cause. For the winter episode may I propose "black ice"? Kids pour water on the road, and cover it with dirt, then watch them slip and slide.

That's the difference between having family resources for a competent, expensive lawyer and having no access to legal counsel due to lack of resources or knowledge of your rights.

The Kennedys themselves aren't nice to RFK Jr, so we don't owe anything to a quack either.

I'm confused. He's a State Senator. Why can't he attend Kemp's State of the Union speech? Unless he's being a disruptive ass.

Dear Mark Kelly, this is not "ridiculous". What they are doing to you it's political prosecution. If punching back is not in your nature, make it your nature. These are not usual times. This is Punching Nazis Time on behalf of our nation.

I think that the general population, who aren't engaged political junkies or activists, they don't know what to do, or they're overwhelmed & don't know where to start, so if you engage them, give them guidance & small tasks they can finish on their own, they'll come around & contribute.

Were they asleep all this time? Trump wasn't subtle about it. He'll betray Ukraine and NATO! Do something about it.

Europe, quit warning Zelensky about what we already know Trump will do to Ukraine. Stop Trump from doing it! Words are cheap. Put your money and resources where your mouth is for Ukraine to win this war.

He was looking for crowded events, so there could be more casualties, which was probably his goal. I'm glad the bombs didn't go off. I wonder if we could get an honest answer from the bomber if it was by accident or the bombs were discovered before he could activate them. What a psycho.

"Incompetent" doesn't capture Bondi's role in DOJ. She's a capo in a lawyer's mantle, not a legitimate AG who could be competent or incompetent. Her actions are not mistakes, or blunders. They are deliberate, unlawful acts to bend, stretch or brake the law to go after Trump's enemies.
