The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

JFC. What's with this MAGA daddy fixation?
So... Presidents usually bring messages of hope for the holidays. His brought… whatever this was. Festive in the same way a house fire is warm. What is wrong with that man? And on the Whitehouse web page. Geezes.

Apparently Trump is very unhappy about the reporting on his age, health, and recent tendency to fall asleep on camera during meetings. He gets very angry about it.

From the Editorial Board: The impulse to help families is worthy. But a program that delivers money 18 years from now while adding to today’s debt burden isn’t a solution to the affordability crisis parents face today.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

I want Admiral Bradley to know that I admire him greatly and will support him completely, and if he could just lie on the pavement for a minute longer, I need to put this bus in reverse and then into drive just one more time.
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.
The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.
