After reading Trump’s disgusting screed about Rob Reiner, really- you don’t need a cognitive test. How about you taking one the measures basic human decency.
Spoiler alert-Trump fails.

In Trump's latest word vomit screed on his 2-bit social media site, he admitted to having three cognitive tests.
OK, for those sitting in the back row, this is a low bar. The cognitive test essentially determines if you are in the lock down ward of the memory care facility.

Well, that was quite the anti-immigrant rant last night during a rally that was supposed to be about affordability.
Make no mistake-Trump was directly scapegoating immigrants to make up for his failures.
Reminds me of the 1930s Germany.

No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Why are we bantering about if the second boat strike was legal, legitimate, or necessary. Why are we discussing if the men were shipwrecked, calling for "reinforcements", or continuing to fight.

Hegseth blames "the fog of war" for the double tap. Fog of War is attributed to Clausewitz and refers to the lack of situational awareness that happens in battle.
Firing a weapon into a situation that you have lost situational awareness is reckless and inexcusable.
Got another excuse?

It's been almost two weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

It has been bugging me why the six congressmen did the "illegal order" PSA. The way it was worded wasn't directed at Sgt Snuffy Smith. It was directed at the commanders and the DOD hierarchy.
So, my guess is the someone tipped them off about the second strike and here we are.

The correct response to the allegations made in the Venezuelan incident is to suspend those involved and conduct an impartial investigation.

Trump repeated he would release his MRI (he won't) and doesn't know what part was imaged but it was "perfect".
Yeah - that sounds totally legit.
My guess it was actually a colonoscopy because he actually is a perfect asshole.

It is truly disgusting when in response to allegations of killing survivors of a ship attack, the Scty of Defense says "fake news" and moves on. This entire Venezuela debacle is a shit show of epic proportions.

He has revealed the worst in America, but in the process, has also awakened the best.

So many things to unpack from recent tragic events. More finger pointing, no solutions.
But there is a root event.
Congress has a few jobs outlined in the Constitution. One - a budget (need to work on that!). The other is immigration. That I up to Congress.

Lots of speculation of multiple Republican resignations in the House coming soon. This would change leadership to the Dems.

If MTG truly believes that she can run for president, she would do well to read the Epstein client list into the congressional record, then move to vacate the Speaker’s chair. Might as well go out with a bang.

This entire blowup over Mark Kelly had me gobsmacked. What was next, investigating folks for a PSA saying "Don't Drink and Drive!" or "Don't Beat Your Wife!"
Then I remembered - Trump can release the Epstein Files tonight if he wanted to.
