President George W. Bush: Let's hear from you. Vice Presidents Quail and Pence: Where are you. It is time for you to display some courage. Get on the stage; have your PROFILE IN COURAGE!

The United Nations is not needed to stop the B.S. around Venezuela, just the majority in the American House and Senate, who are currently taking it in the back door, displaying some courage. Don't continue to allow U.S. to be a criminal nation!

"Trump administration to start seizing pay of defaulted student loan borrowers in January." Looks like another big FAFO is on the horizon. Another cohort will be learning that ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

GOP senators & MOCs don't seem to understand that their role is to SHARE gov't power with POTUS, not to be subservient to him. The Exec. is your =, not your boss fools! By not doing your duty to contain his insanity, you are complicit cowards, allowing a clown to destroy America. Shame on you!

For the 2nd time, farmers are the nation's biggest welfare recipients thanks to Trump. They are against gov't handouts, but their hands are out. Isn't it interesting to see fools suffering due to their own stupidity? They need to wake up and stop being stupid. We all rise and fall together.

If just 3 brave senators and 7 representatives recognize that the republican badge they wear is no longer authentic and switch parties right now, this nation could halt the madness. Even if they lose their "jobs", they will have done great service, rather than the present great harm to the USA.

Mass exodus as 4,000 leave DOJ. Implosion!

Looks like on Tuesday, Tennessee improved its habit of inflicting pain upon itself and the nation from idiotic to moranic. After a little more pain and a congressman representing Trump rather than his constituents, we'll see if TN's mental acuity improves to just dull or better by November.

If a hog nastily hushes an irritating question with "quiet, piggy", you know the hog is using his useless tool and conveying to the world that he is graceless and has lost. A third-grader could do better.

Michael A Cohen shared his opinion that "On Oct. 1, Democrats shut down the federal government." I disagree. When the unworthy-of-trust GOP essentially said "trust me" and would not negotiate or accept input, they left no option. The GOP is in charge, and THEY shut down the government. "No Kings!"

Senator Susan Collins often expresses her concerns, which she then frequently ignores through her votes. It seems that her only real concern is getting re-elected, and to do that without holding a Town Hall. Hopefully, her constituents will express their concerns to her in the voting booth.

When will MAGA MoC realize and recognize that the POTUS is not their boss? When they are in opposition. Three years to go for that, but 2024 can blunt them in just about a year. You fools, Article I means that you represent your constituents, not the dictator-wannabe-POTUS. Grow some backbone!

"Speaker Mike Johnson once again refused to reconvene the House this week, designating another district work period." They won't even hold Town Halls. They are NOT working, just getting paid. This is the Trump plan for running gov't WITHOUT input from the democrats. That amounts to dictatorship.

In a 51-48 vote along largely partisan lines, Senate Republicans defeated a Democratic-led resolution that sought to prohibit Trump from authorizing military strikes on vessels SUSPECTED of transporting narcotics near Venezuela’s coast. Does this mean the GOP agrees to extrajudicial killing?

Das Lied von Eis und Feuer: "Winter kommt!"

Jack Smith, the man who said little, is ready to say much. His offer to testify publicly must be accepted. Let's hear the truth! DOJ Weaponizer Jordan and Grassley probably don't want to do this, but they must for the sake of transparency for all to hear.

Every day that the Speaker fails to swear in Grijalva is another day that over 800,000 citizens of AZ are not represented. The House needs to change its rules and allow either the Speaker or the Minority Leader to swear in certified congress-elect persons. That would correct this failure.

As we watch the destruction of the U.S.A. by POTUS, it is becoming more and more evident that GOP congress members and senators, who have the power to stop this nonsense, are either complicit in his efforts or are cowards unworthy of their positions in Congress. Perhaps both.

Ted Cruz, Mike Johnson, and MAGA types warned of the riots that would be unleashed around the country by the No Kings Day protests. Cruz, Johnson, et. al.: Apologize as loudly as you attempted to instigate violence. It's easy. Just repeat this. "I was wrong!"

Looks like fake King Trump took to his fictional jet fighter and dumped a large portion of himself onto the American people. What a wonderful way to treat his subjects!

To the ultra-rich: An impoverished America will eventually hurt you, too! That is so obvious that only greed for wealth and lust for power could cause you to ignore that. You have the wealth and power to bring an end to this nonsense. But do you have the decency and courage?

Celebrating NO KINGS DAY is celebrating a love for America and expressing disdain for those who want to rule.

Trump Commutes Santos Translations: a) Powerful crook releases little crook. b) Big POS sets free little POS... You get the point.

No Kings, emperors, dictators. America does not need to be RULED, just administered in four-year and two-year terms between evaluations. And that administration must be subject to the law. That is why Congress is under Article I of the Constitution. Next evaluation: November 2026.

"Trump eyes $1,000-$2,000 ‘dividend’ checks for Americans — and cash will ‘ultimately’ come from $1T in tariff revenue. Would you be happy with it?" No. He's trying to bribe the U.S. with the same ploy used by signing COVID relief checks. A diversion for fools that depends on greed and stupidity.

I can hardly believe it, but on the Epstein files - no matter who they impact, and ACA support to prevent sharp rises in health insurance costs, I am in basic agreement with MTG. Miracles do occasionally occur. But, watching how she plays this one out.

@SpeakerJohnson attacks the ACA and says Republicans are the party that wants to fix health care. That's B.S. You have been trying to destroy the ACA and Soc. Security, which has $$ if the Gov't pays the IOUs it owes. Most GOP/MAGA are not for the people, but pretend they are.

At a press conference, Johnson defended Trump. “Is he trolling the Democrats? Yes,” said the speaker, smiling. “That’s what President Trump does. And people are having fun with this.” "Fun with this!" Evidently, the POTUS & the Speaker think they are the bad boy leaders in a kindergarten classroom.

It appears that, from the MAGA point of view, the most concerning aspect of attending college is that young people may encounter new and different people and ideas, and open their eyes and minds to diverse concepts of the world. That is success. Not radicalization, but enlightenment.

To Bondi? "THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM-DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT" DJT was POTUS on Jan 6! What disdain for his supporters! But, Trump did say he loves the uneducated.

Florida’s Republican State Representative Kevin Steele recently filed legislation in the Florida Legislature, House Bill 113, which would require the state’s university boards to recognize Kirk by renaming roadways after him or risk losing state funding. Flat out stupid. Steele needs a new job.

"I’m a very patient guy, but I have had it with these people,” the Speaker said, emphatically, of democrats. “They’re playing games with real people’s lives.” As Mr. Trump often does, Mr. Johnson speaks of his own image in the mirror when attacking others-- a strategy aimed at unthinking people.

Apparently, the Nobel Peace Prize requires recipients to display both courage and integrity. That seems to have ruled out someone campaigning for the prize despite exhibiting neither of those qualities. Clearly, cruelty was not a favored trait among the recipients of the Peace Prize.

Old Donald Trump and his young Press Secretary have something in common. They are masters of the art of lying and manipulation, a craft that brings short-term success and long-term detriment to its proponents and those swayed by them, because chickens always eventually come home to roost.

Pope Leo evidently recognizes the "ancient art of lying and manipulation" and urges a free press to expose and address it. Now that is something! I am sure that Fox "News", along with many others, will ignore or even attack the Pope for expressing such an honest hope.

Message to Mike Johnson: You cannot unelect the congresswoman-elect, so do your job and swear her in. Hakeim Jefferies: Can you swear in a congressperson-elect? If you can, do it! Otherwise, prevent all movement until she is sworn in. Johnson is FUBAR!

Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy = 0-1; [Sm = -1], in terms of worth and decency in America. Excrement = Sm, which is usually eliminated due to having become of no further value. Manure [m] = +1; still having some positive value. Sm < m. [+] > [-] Perspective: For flies Sm = m

NO WELFARE TO THE FARMERS! Since we all have to suffer the consequences of their voting, so too should they. The erstwhile bailouts kept them from learning that voting has consequences in the first term. We should not wish them to remain civilly ignorant. It's time for a practical education.

MAGA thinks colleges radicalize students. Actually, seeing different people and hearing other ideas and concepts, debating with those holding different worldviews, and grappling with new concepts causes one to grow and become more enlightened. That is why colleges exist.

$2 0, 0 0 0, 0 0 0, 0 0 0 U.S. Farmers: That's how much USA $ Trump is sending to Argentina to help them compete against YOU for Chinese soybean business. Why: Because he likes the dictator leader. What a MAGA move! Don't worry. Vance and friends will buy your farms cheaply when they go under.

Pete Hegseth should take his own advice: "Do the honorable thing and resign." However, possessing no hint of honor, a resignation from the Secretary of "War" is likely not forthcoming.

"Hegseth denounces diversity focus at unusual gathering of military brass." Diversity is a STRENGTH. Fools who ignore this strength are very, very foolish. Hegseth, by his definition, is a DEI hire, and his most qualifying trait is the ability to kiss ass regardless of harm to the USA.

I keep reading that from the Christian national perspective, kids go to college and become radicalized. It seems that what actually happens is that kids go to college, talk with people who have different viewpoints, discuss, and become enlightened. That seems radical from a narrow perspective.

Pete Hegseth was a major. Now he is a full-of-himself major asshole.

It is becoming quite obvious that we do not have a POTUS, but an ascending dictator whom we mistakenly installed as POTUS. He is correct about us having an enemy within, but he fails to acknowledge that that enemy is himself. Today, he shamefully tried to politicize the generals. Pray he failed.

One thing the MAGA crowd seems not to understand is that as our MAGA POTUS destroys our country and society, he is not just destroying it for "the Libs", "the Dems" or whatever hated cohorts. He is destroying the country for ALL Americans. This is madness, and Congress tolerates what it could stop.

I am a golf fan and loved watching the Presidents' Cup and Ryder Cup competitions. But the demeanor of the American fans at Bethpage Black was repugnant and displayed Americans as ugly. It is disheartening that the 'Ugly American' image is being revived and presented to the world. Not fun to see.

Mike Johnson, Speaker of House, is derelict in his duties by refusing to swear in Congresswoman-elect Grijalva from Arizona. Is this more indication that Nazis don't willingly relinquish power? Or is it a real display of fear that the Epstein files will be released? Either way, it is a sorry show.

One has to wonder if all those times Trump was depicting Biden as frail and demented, he was describing what he was seeing in the looking glass without realizing it was a reflection.

Joe Scarborough: Trump just made James Comey ‘a political and a legal martyr’. During his trial, Comey may have the chance to destroy the monster he helped bring into the house. Trump may awaken a sleeping dog.
