Who is Trump doing this for? Who wins if auto emissions standards are gutted? And while I thinking about it—this won’t affect California’s fairly strict standards. Yes?

How did we get on this ‘Terminator’ timeline? Seems Hegseth & DHS ‘troops’ watch too many ‘bang bang’ movies & seek to act out their boyhood fantasies.

I’m still stuck on why he thinks his altered appearance makes him look more masculine. Um? (Using Paul Newman as my marker.)

Someone’s nervous about the midterms. At some point the cajoling will turn to open threats… Well I guess that’s already started—with the calls for DHS to menace polling sites.

Apologies for my ignorance, but I thought the ‘Dream Act’ was intended to give children who entered the U.S. as minors access to legal residence status. Albeit not to their parents. IIRC. Looks like it fell way short.

One wrinkle I haven’t seen addressed per retrograde vaccination protocol—is that RFK jr being born in 1954 would not have been given MMR or DTP or varicella (chicken pox) vaccines as a child. Maybe he figures ‘tough’ guys can get by licking toilet seats to juice their immune systems… Eesh.

Sounds like someone who thought Handmaid’s Tale was an instruction manual. Rather than a caution. (And one of the scariest books I’ve read.)

Seems as Trump’s approval rating continues to decline, a low rumble of discontent reinforces the disapproval. Trump team’s talking points ignored… Giving permission to Trump voters to bail w/o incurring the acrimony of their family, friends & neighbors.

I’m confused. Why are these few Democratic members of Congress required to view unredacted (‘unredacted’?) files in a secure, monitored setting? Weren’t we *all* authorized to view the files in a public setting? What’s up?

I don’t know enough about Rush Limbaugh to know whether he ‘got the ball rolling’ or not. But I do know my mom became a lot happier when she became too forgetful to turn on his daily (?) radio show.

Um. Hopefully a reporter followed up since the MoC weren’t ‘obstructing law enforcement’. They were instead offering a PSA about adhering to oaths of public service.

One of my running hypotheses regarding conservatives. Or rather ‘conservatives’. Is that they must *live* something—to get it. They lack the ability to figure stuff out theoretically. Unfortunately these are the yokels running the country into the ground.

By Trump saying ‘focus on her’ is he trying to divert scrutiny from Epstein which in turn would snag him?

He’s still stinging from the Washington Correspondents Dinner when President Obama mocked him for Trump’s birth certificate conspiracy with a clip from Lion King. Still stings…

And name-calling, rather than engage in meaningful debate. That’s always a tell for me. When they just trot out the slurs rather than address a legitimate criticism. Means they have nothing…

I think that’s why Alex Pretti’s handgun freaked them out so much. Didn’t expect anyone on the street to have the means to counter their aggression.
