No truer words... 😳👇

Is VP Vance referring to the U.S. economy as a sinking ship, or is he just really bad at speaking metaphorically?

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Trump has badly weakened the Republican brand, and all of the GOPers in government, business, and the media who were too anxious to ride his coattails, or too weak-kneed to stand up to him, are equally to blame. /1

Guy who stayed off the front lines, or any other lines, in Vietnam, wrongfully accuses others of doing the same thing in Afghanistan. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Least surprising news of the day: Trump can't handle the truth (about how unpopular his policies are).

Is it wrong of me to wish that the U.S. currently had a leader who spoke this well?

How about criminal investigations of every sitting member of Congress who became a millionaire while in office?

“Woe to the land that’s governed by a child.” Shakespeare, Richard III, Act 2, scene 3.

I don’t think that JD Vance understands how metaphors work.

Trump appears now to be engaged in a "war on facts that make him feel bad." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Hey, CNN, a reporter asking a question within a gaggle of other members of the press is not a "one-on-one." Having said that, Ms. Collins asked a good question, and Governor Newsom gave an even better answer.

The is not a new deal - this is Trump surrendering. For now. They have always said that the US & NATO is free to do what it wants in Greenland from a military perspective. Trump said that wasn’t good enough because he needs the US to “own” it. So this is simply Trump backing down

If (or when) Trump gets removed from office either by resignation, impeachment or removal via the 25th Amendment, the weak-kneed Republicans who have refused to acknowledge his fatal flaws will live in infamy. www.huffpost.com/entry/grisha...

There's so much insanity in Trump's letter to Norway's Prime Minister, including the false premise that it was the Republic of Norway that "decided" not to give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. But foremost is the admission that Trump's commitment to peace was, at least in part, just to get the Prize.

Release the unredacted Epstein files.

When is someone going to explain to Trump that tariffs don’t get imposed on other countries? Tariffs are imposed on goods imported from other countries and paid by the importer, with the costs then generally passed on to American consumers in the form of higher prices.

Imagine the size and intensity of the media and congressional freakout if Biden had taken $500 million from the sale of another country’s oil that he had pilfered, and then transferred the funds to an account that he controlled in Qatar.

There must be some horrendous things about Trump in the Epstein files. Otherwise, he and his minions in the DOJ wouldn’t be trying so hard to keep those files from seeing the light of day.

The Trump Administration is now arguing that it is not subject to a federal statute that Trump, himself, recently signed into law. This is a lawless POTUS.

Among the arguments in support of allowing a President, rather than Congress, to impose tariffs, not backing the U.S. controlling Greenland is not one of them.

Yet another reason not to watch CBS Evening News. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

AOC is a true superstar.

So presidential (not).

The Jay Powell investigation is a distraction from the ICE Minneapolis shooting which is a distraction from the Venezuela invasion which is a distraction from the Epstein files. Release the Epstein files!

Lock him up!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Kamala Harris got criticized for this comment, but she was right. She was right about everything.

Didn’t Trump lie about the scope of the White House “renovation” project?

Is it my imagination, or does Trump keep giving new rationals for “taking over” Greenland?

By a large margin, a majority of the American people disfavor the obscenely expensive ballroom, but why is Trump concerned about cultivating favor with the oil companies?

CBS News is dead to me.

We went from being referred to as a “shining city on a hill,” under Reagan, to a “predator force,” under a Trump. Today’s Republicans have some serious marketing deficiencies.

The question is not whether Trump will get impeached in 2027. The question is why Trump is not getting impeached in 2026.

I would not criticize Governor Walz for doing what he believes is best for his family. Unfortunately, though, his decision will have the effect of reinforcing Trump’s modern McCarthyism.

The Nobel Peace Prize is non-transferable. It can be awarded only by the Nobel Committee. But the fact that Maria Corina Machado would give hers to Trump in exchange for peace proves how much she deserves it, and the fact that Trump would accept the transfer proves how much he does not deserve it.

Hegseth didn’t have the courage to give Mark Kelly a trial by court martial because he knew he would lose it and be humiliated. So he is taking the cowardly way out. Whatever action he takes unilaterally will discredit US military civilian leadership and be reversed in 3 years.

We were warned SIX YEARS AGO

I’m looking at 2026 as the year that the American people vote FOR expansion of healthcare and punishment of Epstein victim abusers, and AGAINST foreign entanglements.

Can you imagine the size of the freak-out Marco Rubio would have had as a Senator if President Obama had ordered the invasion of another country without Congressional approval? #WarPowers

What are the odds that Trump has no idea who the Monroe Doctrine was named after?

Exactly right.

For those who don’t believe that there is reason enough to vote Democrat in the midterm elections.

Can’t help wondering whether Trump is personally profiting over his hijacking from Congress the power to levy tariffs that have nothing to do with national security.
