Great Christmas action. DJT/MAGA’s cut US aid throughout the world. Now unilaterally decides to start a holy war?!
For months (or longer) Nigeria situation has been convoluted. Now DJT decides that ‘Christians being harmed’ is a basis for bombing another nation!? What’s the national interest/threat?

Re cancellation of the 60 Minutes piece: Another step in Trump’s/MAGA’s control over the press.
For a while now I’ve no longer considered CBS a news agency. This further underscores why!
The sane washing was bad enough. They are now on the verge of becoming part of the “State Propaganda Machine”.

“Trump, by contrast, is rechristening things for himself and then pretending it’s an honor rather than an ego trip. He asks not what he can do for his country, but what his country can name for him."

And the Trump DOJ thinks this helps reduce the concerns around Trump and Trump’s friends & financiers with respect to the Epstein files?

Clearly the DOJ didn’t do enough Trump scrubbing in the preceding months…
Are they now saying Trump is a victim? If so, what sex acts was he forced to perform on (or receive from) Epstein & his friends?!

Impeachment in 2026 mainly because the spineless and dishonorable MAGA majority in congress has no moral compass and have abandoned their executive oversight role. Consequently MAGA congress needs to be voted out of office. They have failed their constitutional obligation; not a choice, it’s a duty!

We want to pay nothing to everyday workers and we want them available all the time. But not living anywhere near all of our expanding upscale neighborhoods!

And the MAGA congress just sits on its hands and continues to let this madness happen! They are worse than DJT because MAGA congress could stop all of this; they are the control.
Remember Cpt. Dunsel in Star Trek TOS? That’s our MAGA Congress!

Rather than standing up to the insanity (as an elected legislator should do), they are choosing to bail out.
It’s worth noting, most professional ethics rules require a member to resign from an engagement if management won’t properly respond to highly questionable or illegal acts...
