Something is terribly wrong with the Attorney General of the United States, who is testifying now before Congress. She is evasive, combative, rude and unprofessional. She will answer not even one question substantively and with sobriety. It's an embarrassment to both the nation and the bar.

Trump is soon going to declare an economic state of emergency and order all banks to immediately freeze your bank accounts and wages. All deposited funds will be seized in the interest of National Security. Paychecks will be routed via Trump and you may receive it, once your loyalty is established.

I sense an uptick in militant-sounding social media posts, like many believe civil war is inevitable. It's trending. Unless the GOP has a "come to Jesus" moment, the Republican government and SCOTUS will continue to remove all avenues to re-establish democracy except one, an American catharsis.

American people would like to inundate Washington DC with about 10,000,000 protesters and see if democracy might break out. The problem is Trump would probably shoot at us and try to start a violent conflict. I still think it's worth a try. The majority of the American people are for impeachment.

I know it might have been a bridge too far for a lot of people when Four-Star General Mark Milley said that Trump is fascist to his core. Not for me. Trump is a terrorist to his core. Now he's simply murdering people by firing military missiles as pleasure boats. Judge, jury and executioner.

Democrats messaging that democracy is under assault and Trump is trying to take their rights/freedoms isn't resonating. Perhaps they should get to the point, Trump is after their MONEY MONEY MONEY. Everything he's doing is a plan to empty your pockets and bank account. He's just setting the stage.

I spend too much time wondering what horrors will be revealed from the Epstein files about Trump. And now Commerce Secretary Lutnick says he was at Epstein's house and it was an extortion op. Mr. and Mrs. Trump met through Epstein. What's her involvement? It's all too horrifying to contemplate!

The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals held Trump has no authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose his Trafficking Tariffs or his Reciprocal Tariffs, not addressing the issue of Trump's phony emergency declaration. Opinion here: www.cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-ord...

When I saw Pete Hegseth ranting like a madman, I was reminded of Roberto Benign in the movie Life is Beautiful, impersonating a member of the Fascist Party, and speaking to school children about his superior Aryan belly button. Were you reminded of that? Funny! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CTj...

In the movie, the rise of Naziism in 1933 Germany pits family members against family members, and a young man is ordered to pursue and shoot his sister as she flees for the border with Jimmy Stewart. I was reminded of it when Trump spoke to his military commanders. www.imdb.com/title/tt0032...

It's a little surprising that only one Admiral resigned immediately after the Hegseth and Trump spectacle. When your commander-in-chief says he wants you to put your own family and friends in the crosshairs of of your military operations, what would you do? Protect your career?

If I was the duly elected US Representative from Arizona, ready to serve my constituents and the interests of the State of Arizona, and I encountered a weak, lawless, conspiring Speaker of the House who refused to swear me in, treating my State like it's second class, I would be a hot ticket. Shame!

Before getting elected this time, Trump was indicted under 18 USC 241 for conspiring to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate someone in the free exercise or enjoyment of rights secured by the U.S. Constitution. He beat the charge. Now he's doing it again, but with SCOTUS justices.

Trump used tear gas on a 2-year old child because, of course, the 2-year old is the enemy within. I hope that 2-year old learned a lesson from this experience. He should know better than to do whatever he did to be tear gassed. Hail to the leader. And all you other toddlers out there, behave!

When I lived in Canada, I was as a customer of the government. Even as an immigrant, I was treated with kindness and patience and given so many offers of service and assistance, you would think I was a VIP. Here at home in America, as a citizen, the government considers me an enemy from within.

Trillions in tariff revenues are missing? If that's really true, look for the money under the robes of six Supreme Court Justices. Which ones were in with Epstein? Which are still on the take? See if they don't turn a blind eye to the Constitution and reverse the 5th Circuit on tariffs.

Trump is not known as a thinker. Did he realize that when he asked those Generals and Admirals to turn the aim of the military on the "enemy within" that he was talking about those officers' kids, brothers, sisters and other relatives? Would our brass order soldiers to shoot at their own families?

I have vacillated on Trump's sanity and given that I'm not an MD or psychologist, I am loath to weigh on such matters. I'm a lawyer, not a doctor. BUT, after watching a portion of Trump's speech in front of the nation's top generals and Admirals, I'm willing to commit. He's sick, really sick!

As they say, it takes a lifetime to build a reputation but only moments to ruin it. DoJ is having trouble convincing federal grand juries to indict now, but the phony indictments coming out call every single prosecution of the federal government into question. The Feds lie and have no credibility.

People are saying that members of the military don't want the role of targeting American citizens as "enemies from within." Unfortunately, soldiers will follow orders. But citizens don't much like their supposed role, either, as bullseyes in military training. Ya think the Quartering Act was bad?

The poor farmers! They rely on the USDA daily. The last government shut-down my swinish US Rep said on the radio all the major farm groups in Michigan supported the shut-down. So I called them on the phone. None of them supported the shut-down. They told me this Rep lies and it wasn't the 1st time.

When asked why Representative-Elect Grijalva has not been sworn in to her position as US Representative from Arizona, Napoleon the pig asked, "Why should we swear her in?" "Well, the voters have spoken and this is a democracy." "No, it's not a democracy until I call for a vote," snorted Napoleon.

Bernie's stance: "I was asked last night if I would just continue to vote NO over and over again until these issues are addressed, and you are damn right I will." I agree. If the GOP likes taking everybody's health care away and brownshirts on the streets, let them get the 60 votes to fund it.

I'm ambivalent about the Republicans shutting it down but I am glad the Democrats are not putting their votes in to continue this assault on health care and on democracy. The Trump administration is little more than a racketeering gang. How do you fund that in good conscience?

Comey is making Trump look like the rank amateur he is. Framing Comey for lying to Congress is another example of Trump's supreme inadequacy. The case is weaker than a cup of coffee from a vending machine and the prosecutor can't find her way to the courthouse. The case won't make it to trial.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

The GOP is panicky and I'm worried they might go postal. They shut down the government to delay swearing in Representative-Elect Grijalva from Arizona. She'll be sworn in. On her vote, the Epstein list comes out. Trump might take hostages and demand a plane to Qatar. The shut-down buys him time.

It's shocking that the GOP shut down the government and then went home, leaving the Democrats alone to stay in Washington and work to solve the crisis. But really it's all about protecting pedophiles, to avoid swearing in a new legislator whose vote will get the Epstein files released. How sick!!

We should not call the President and Republicans Nazis. They practice Nazism, yes, but that doesn't make them Nazis. And we should not call them Fascists, with a capital F. They practice fascism, yes, but that makes them fascists, with a small f. JD is right, we should be careful with our words.

When the newly elected Congresswoman from Arizona is sworn in, (since there is no justification for any delay) I might have to concede there are vestiges of democracy still left in this tired old Republic, sparse as they might be. But delaying her swearing in undemocratic and nefarious.

Anybody know what happened to Dan Bongino? He's dropped off the map. After news that he was considering resigning from the FBI in July, I haven't seen any more news. Is he going to work every day? On leave? What?

So, Americans, this guys famously says that he grabs women by their genitals and they don't protest because he's a celebrity, his best friend is the most notorious child rapist in history, and he's a convicted fraud, and you elect him President? America needs a psychiatrist.

The Supreme Court can be intellectually dishonest. Intelligent learned men held black school children could be segregated on reasoning of "separate but equal." That wasn't a mistake, it was a lie. Any uneducated child could see that separate was not equal. We have a lying Court now, again.

Surprise, surprise! The Trump administration is on trajectory to have the largest deficit in history (excluding his own previous record deficits). A radically liberal borrow-and spend policy (again) and the GOP Congress can't find the rubber stamp fast enough. bipartisanpolicy.org/report/defic...

People that commit heinous acts of political violence should be condemned for their actions. What they should do is call the FBI and report elected leaders for being corrupt so they can be properly prosecuted. Taking graft, like (a ride in) a luxury jet, will surely get them prosecuted. Ha ha.

Americans are used to living through dangerous times. But we have never lived with the kind of danger we live with now, with so many supporting a racketeering fascist criminal, the justice department being complicit and corrupt. They would indict a banana if it was politically helpful.

Trump was having a lot of trouble pronouncing Acetaminophen the other day. No matter how hard he tried it kept coming out "Acetaminepstein."

The Kennedy family must by absolutely mortified that a member of the family has become the king of the snake-oil salesmen. I'm sure right after he tells you to forego taking your real medicine he's gonna suggest you buy some vitamin tonic that he'll peddle as a cure-all. Bobby's Tonic!

Tylenol has had it tough. In the 80's, the brand was threatened by a series of deaths linked to Tylenol capsules that had been tampered with. Now, Johnson & Johnson will have to sue Trump for defaming the product. J&J is likely ruing that $1 million donation to the inauguration. Shoulda been more.

Trump looks like he just had an appointment with a make-up artist.....at a mortuary. We have had some great looking Presidents before, oozing with handsomeness and charm, and then we wind up with a cadaver in the Oval. It's not a good look! If we he was competent, we could deal with it.

Finally something that makes sense. I figured Tom Homan for a thug working for a crime boss instead of a steadfast follower of the law. It appears I was right. He's the perfect Trump appointee. Perfectly corrupt, that is. The FBI should officially change it's name to the RICO.

The totally phony Republicans do this every time. With Democrats in power they decry excessive spending, then when they take over, they outspend them like drunk borrow-and-spend liberals. Trump's spending blitz is already $376 billion more that Biden at the same point last year. Sorry, grandkids!

It didn't take long for the new FBI director, Kash Patel, to go from the outside to now being part of a deep-state cover-up. His nose turned just as fast as the wind changed. The confused look on his face is telling. He appears haunted by the Epstein file. He should be.

Anybody that says getting vaccines is a matter of individual choice doesn't have a clue about public health. Especially when it comes to dangerous pathogens, it's important that everybody be on board with the public health program, like it or not. You are part of a community, like it or not.

I couldn't have been more adamant about the inadvisability of voting for convicted felon and fraud. To accept the promises of somebody that's been convicted of making false promises is the epitome of misplaced reliance. After this, I cannot fathom what else Americans as a group are incapable of.

Now, though my level of concern been "high alert," I am ratcheting that up to "extreme danger." If Mr. Magoo in the White House won't honor America's commitment to article 5 of the NATO treaty, it will signal the worst nat'l security crisis since Pearl Harbor and protracted economic woes. Impeach!

It's about time that somebody prioritized the interests of commerce in America. Shutting down auto plants with ICE raids is great for white nationalists motivated by nothing by delusions of white supremacy, but for health of the economy Trump and his extremists are killing America.
