What else does DJT need to do to show that his real purpose was to defang and dismantle the USA and pay himself with USA's money for doing it? He has been in cahoots with Russia from day one. Whether or not DJT is being bribed, blackmailed, etc. by Putin is irrelevant. Trump is aligned with Putin.

It's insulting that Trump's minions won't say the word war. They renamed the Department of Defense the Department of WAR, not the Department of Operations. Even more maddening is that Congress didn't do their job to be involved in going to war and is afraid to even say the word.

Congress won't even enforce the Hatch Act. This nightmare should have been over with the Mueller report. I have little confidence Congress can do what is required to clean up the corrupt regime, but I'm hopeful.

Republicans know they can't win on the voting issue, so as usual, they are throwing in their current scapegoat group to muddy and divide. It's disgusting.

On top of the nonsense and horror of the war, I can't help but think about the environmental impact of all the oil ships being attacked. What is the oil spill situation there? The destruction, waste and impact to the climate and environment, etc. is heart breaking enough. For what?

IMO, when there is too much testosterone (toxic masculinity) encouraged, it comes with more aggression and less empathy. Testosterone: kill things, blow up things, screw things, fight. It's the human equivalent of bull elk fighting and locking antlers for mating and resources. Stupid humans.

Netanyahu says Trump fulfilled his dreams: In bombing Iran, Israel now has the "assistance of the United States, my friend, US President Donald Trump, and the US military. This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years"

Unfortunately Republicans do not care about precedent, rules, or laws. They have zero intention of following any of them. In the words of Elon's little kid, "We do what we want. They'll never know."

I'm so ashamed and angry that the DJT regime misled Ukraine, stringing them along, when they were allies of Russia the entire time. Betrayal. Lives were lost, thinking the USA would assist more. DJT was working to become part of the new axis of evil the entire time. Rubio is saying it out loud now.

Even extreme red state Idaho where I live is doing all they can to make voting harder and legal to take voter information. It's ridiculous because they've bragged about their clean elections, so why do they need to change things? They are trying to tighten ID requirements currently. Sheesh.

Yes. Roy Cohn rules: Never apologize or admit wrongdoing ever Always counter-attack, and always with greater force than you received Use legal system as a weapon, not a recourse for justice Manipulate the media ruthlessly Use fear as both shield and sword Build a fortress of loyalty around yourself

Anyone who works for Trump has to be smart enough to get a pardon in their pocket before they take the job. They know anything they do might make them complicit in crimes. I'm guessing DT's entire cabinet must have them by now.

Reps in Congress are in too deep now. They won't get pardons if they don't continue to stay in line. Even though they know the people are against them, they fear potential criminal charges more. They've made their money and can slink away when voted out. We need more laws about pardon restrictions.

I suspect the whole purpose of the "Board of Peace" was to be the antithesis of NATO. Apparently the name Axis of Evil was already taken.

Congress must remove funding for ICE immediately!

I think Congress needs to pass some kind of election protection law NOW that forbids canceling elections due to martial law, especially by the president that provoked the situation. Trump is setting up reasons to stop the election altogether. What can Congress do now, and how do we force them?

When the Jr. High bully gets to be in charge, he bullies everyone. Trump is showing everyone it's great to be a bully and take whatever you want. He is normalizing brute force to do anything, from interactions between people in your town to countries in the world. This thug behavior is horrifying.

Many things Trump does involves the need for sending some kind of military type of presence, from ICE, National Guard, etc. Not only is he spending the money that belongs to our children, I fear he is going to start drafting them.

People can get immunity with a vaccine or by having the disease. RFK Jr. wants the cruelest way with the most suffering. I think he must be happy when people suffer and die, because he thinks he is culling out the less fit.

The DoJ and FBI had this stuff for years. Why couldn't they have compiled information about their investigations and released it with each file? Everything seems unorganized and lacking context. This doesn't give people much confidence in the DoJ and FBI.

Greenland and Denmark should demand 5 years of all social media accounts and then refuse entry, just like the USA would do to people they don't want coming. The USA should be viewed as a hostile country at this point.

In addition to the preexisting problem, you couldn't get reasonable insurance unless you were part of a group. Health insurance was a way for big employers to hold people hostage. It prevented entrepreneurs and small businesses from competing. The ACA gave individuals some options at least.

Trump is Putin's ally in every way and always has been. Can we stop pretending otherwise now? I feel bad that Ukraine has been jerked around by the USA so long. This should have been over with Mueller. It's infuriating.

I'm sure SCOTUS will work hard to find a creative way to say the law doesn't say what the law says.

A new POTUS could make the ballroom into a museum honoring immigrants, DEI, rights, democracy, and education. They could include an education area, telling the truth about corruption, cruelty and fascism. They could use the portraits of DT as a warning to show all the ways he undermined democracy.

There was a time when I couldn't understand how the holocaust or the French revolution could happen. Now I understand them both all too clearly. Humans never fail to disappoint me.

For cripes' sake. What did he think the result would be from giving Trump immunity? They don't get to act like they didn't enable and foresee the dismantling of checks and balances now.

He's telling them they need to work harder to interfere with elections. That's his priority apparently.

I wish something like that could happen. If all the great artists, journalists, actors, recording artists, reporters, etc. could join in some kind of employee owned network, I would watch it exclusively. I miss having a giant network that includes news that isn't propaganda.

Heaven forbid Mike talk about getting bloated rich corporations to pay a livable wage so people wouldn't need SNAP.

What happens when there are no jobs except to join Trump's thug militia? Will people do the right thing? People often take horrible jobs to feed their families. This whole situation is self imposed and infuriating!

You can’t make the cruelty of Mike Johnson and Republicans up. It is a fact.

Speaker Mike, your party is in charge. A simple solution, IMO, is for you to go ahead and make a concession for the ACA subsidies now to tide us over. Then you could immediately present all the great health care plans you keep saying you have and move them forward with no gaps. Unless Epstein.

Russia managed to facilitate a regime change in the USA. Now the USA is trying to facilitate regime changes where Trump wants different leaders. It's dictators helping each other, IMO. Criminals like them don't care about drugs really. Well, and Epstein distraction. Well, and coup planning.

What can be done to prevent a president from invoking the act if it is obvious he is the one creating it for his political gain? We can't let the arsonist get rewarded for setting the fire! We need laws, dammit, and judges that follow them.

And trump’s healthcare plan, which will be the most beautiful, will be released in two weeks (republican speak for never).

Another hint: When your government declares that anti-fascists are terrorists, you just might have a fascist government. 🤔

real monkey's paw that we invented the ability to hold the sum of all human knowledge in the palm of your hand and then a few years later we're turning it into your stupid friend that pretends to know the answer to every question

Maybe we had that golden shower stuff about Trump wrong. What it really means is that Trump is peeing on all of us and telling us it is rain. 😜

Elon Musk’s xAI suing Apple and OpenAI, alleging anticompetitive collusion (news on 8/26/2025) is laughable hypocrisy after what he did with DOGE. 🙄

Dem leaders should be screaming everywhere about what is in the bill that takes effect after the election. Explain that Republicans set it up so several hardships won't be felt until they get elected again, or they can blame it on Democrats.

Imagine if every Democrat leader trolled and pushed back on Trump's nonsense as hard as Newsome has been doing. It would "flood the zone" with Trump style BS and drive MSM's attention trying to respond to it. It obviously frustrates Trump and Fox who troll us every day. Thanks, Mr. Reich!

💯

I suspect the DoJ will release them in bits and pieces as they clean them up to protect who they want and accuse who they want. The files are completely unreliable at this point. We need the FBI agents under oath to testify what they saw and removed compared to anything Bondi releases now.

IMO, they've been assets since the GOP lawmakers, Sen. Richard Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Thune (S.D.), John Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), Ron Johnson (Wis), and John Hoeven (N.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), spent July 4 in Moscow’s U.S. Embassy in 2018. Russia saw dupes.

Trump keeps bragging about all the $ coming in "making us rich." I went to the grocery store and it was $100 higher due to tariffs and inflation. Obviously the $ he means is coming from us to pay for his pet projects. He can stop lying. We see our costs. This will damage the economy.

Trump poaches employees from Fox better than Epstein poached employees from Trump! 🤨

Trump poaches people from Fox more than Epstein poached people from him! 🤨
