Comey can't be further prosecuted (statute of limitations), & Tish James will surely be able to establish vindictive prosecution if indicted again. Trump: "I hate her, she dared point out my crimes, find something, anything she did wrong, aha! she checked the wrong box on a form."

One distinct advantage of Halloween and Christmas being so commercialized (decor, parties, spending) is that no one has bothered to commercialize Thanksgiving. It gets to remain a home-centered event of family and friends getting together and cooking and eating favorite foods.

This must be like a dream come true for Stephen Miller (who is actually running Trump's domestic policy). An excuse to get rid of anyone who isn't white, Christian, and preferably of northern European extraction.

You know why fresh fruits and vegetables have seen major price increases? Growers in the US have lost the migrant workers who used to harvest the crops. Tariffs are spiking the prices on imported products (coffee, bananas,etc.).

It's sad to realize that Trump will never be held accountable. No matter who's in charge of DOJ, the feeling will be to move very slowly on charging a former POTUS (as Garland did), and even if convicted, as a sick old man prosecutors won't want to jail him.

Did they eat turkeys at Thanksgiving in the Middle Ages? (short answer, No) So where did turkeys come from anyway, and why are they named for a Middle Eastern country? cdalebrittain.blogspot.com/2014/11/turk...

Half the electorate last year: Prices are high, Covid was a pain, let's try something different. Maybe Trump again? Trump this year: High prices are not high but low! Look at my beautifully gaudy WH! Pay no attention to the Epstein files! Watch me get rich! Electorate: Say what?

MTG is planning to retire on january 5. That's a couple days after her pension vests. So why wait until the 5th? Maybe because the statute of limitations will run out then on her role in J6?

Trump & Stephen Miller: "James Comey tried to overthrow the Trump presidency!" Trump: "Prosecute his butt!" Prosecutors: "Comey may have lied when he said, I stand by my previous statement about authorizing a discussion with a journalist." Mountains & molehills

It used to be that the US spoke warningly of going to any country where you might just be walking along and an unmarked van would pull up, masked guys jump out and seize you, no warrant or anything, and carry you off to parts unknown. That country is now us.

If Congress will not pass a resolution condemning Trump’s unhinged calls for the imprisonment and execution of elected officials, they’re essentially giving him permission to keep pushing for political violence.

Trump tips his hand in claiming that encouraging service members to disobey illegal orders is "seditious." It implicitly reveals he is knowingly and intentionally committing crimes and shows he intends to commit more crimes.

How upside down is our world? The White House occupant thinks elected public servants who say the military should not follow illegal orders are "punishable by death." We exactly need public servants to speak out against illegal orders and not be cowed by a man who despises our Constitution.

The Trump team is gleefully announcing that September job numbers are higher than expected. Leaving out the tidbit that their September numbers are only half as high as September 2024's numbers.

To be fair, it’s sorta the unofficial symbol of the #Trump regime—

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

The Trump administration announced new efforts today to roll back key parts of the Endangered Species Act, aiming to reinstate changes from his first term that were previously halted by a federal court.

One distinct advantage we have over Germany in the 1930s is that the Trump team is wildly incompetent.

This is disturbing. Trump's enablers are all saying that the military should follow unlawful orders (UN-lawful you note) and that not to do would be treason or sedition. How far have we sunk when the GOP wants orders followed against the law & Constitution?

The Trump team seems to believe that if they talk about corruption openly (like their deals with Saudi Arabia) it doesn't count as corruption.

Does it strike anyone else as "curious" as Trump's argument for gettng rid of the filibuster is so they can ram through voter-suppression bills?

If you could time travel back 10 years and make a film about a president, using actual Trump lines, it would be marketed as a comedy because it would be so unbelievably ridiculous. Unfortunately in real life it isn't funny.

Although Vance disgusts me, I must admit that we're way past 25th Amendment time. Trump will never give it up, so it MUST be taken from him.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

Today the Senate must finish the job and vote to release the Epstein files. We must pass this bill, unamended, as soon as humanly possible.

Trump team's "explanation" for high housing prices was initially illegals buying up all those condos and mcmansions. When that didn't work they've now decided the reason is people staying single, so they don't have 2 incomes to pay the mortgage. Next I'm expecting it will be the diseased cows.

To all those MAGAs thinking Trump cares about them: At the big McDonalds conference he stressed that minimum wage should never be raised. He wants you to stay poor even when working 2 jobs. Then he takes your food assistance & health coverage.

An old fable I like to repeat from time to time. Like now, Trump almost drowns a puppy, stops just in time. "Look, I saved a puppy!" Dems: "You almost killed that puppy." GOP: "Why don't the Dems give Trump credit for saving a puppy?" Fox: "Why do the Dems hate puppies?

I just uncovered the Republicans' secret health care plan! "Plan to not get sick." Yep, that's just about it.
