However, the judge who re-opened the case should go forward with her investigation. There was no case here, and Trump knew it. - Trump Drops Plan for ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Fund

We were warned time after time that Platner would be a problem. He is. Ditch him. Vote for Mills.

Curious. - www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/b...

I tend to agree. Except it's not about understanding. It's about acceptance. -

Seem the birthday boy can't do anything but complain, because he smells bad and folks don't want to share the stink. 'Go home!, he cries. I don't want you in My country anymore!' - Trump Urges Canceling Freedom 250 Concerts

OK, I'll try again. CBS, the Dollar Store of television. "Because, that's the way it is." - W. Cronkite, former CBS anchor

CBS, the Dollar Store of TV. "Because, that's the way it is."

Of course, if Mr. Trump is so interested in catching cheats that don't exist, wait for the vote to conclude, compare those lists to in-state lists, and then ask questions. Otherwise, no votes will be tallied win or lose, and no government, federal or state. Which means no Trump.

@economist.com Why can't Musk streamline politics? He's prejudiced to start, & sociopathic. He thinks rules don't apply to him, and he should be allowed to do as he pleases, capitalistically. Have you seen any behavior of his, besides controlling? Where's the profit in it, for him? There is none.

Since the Federal government doesn't create or control the names of people who vote in states, this move is illegal on its face. The mail is controlled by the Federal government, but everything else is literally up to the states. Period. Democratic AND Republican votes. Both sides, now. -

I could find many circumstances under which to frame Christianity as a death cult. Let's just leave it with Nazi Germany. The point is, Judaism, Christianity, & Islam are all Abrahamic religions. All are flawed & can be found to be complicit in the killing of millions, under political direction. -

If older Americans are uncompromisingly grumpy these days, blame Trump. He took away Colbert and is completely out of control.

Miller is a shame on humanity. - MEIDAS TOUCH: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? MANGUBAT: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

Apparently 60 Minutes has been gutted. CBS is become a discount store, with only junk for sake. Sad.

A few notes for the creative team of Spider-Noir. 1. Leading man make-up is terrible. No matter what you do, Bogart is gone. You can't make his movie, your movie. 2. Not nearly enough time spent on costumes. 3. No florescent lights in that time period. 4. Try to steal less. Try to keep up.

If we reject Paxton, we break Trump's grip on the nation. Granted, Trump will reject Paxton when he fails. That's Trump. Don't forget about Maine, the Carolinas, Ohio and Iowa. Only massive turn out can save us during the mid-terms. 2028 is too far away to consider. AOC ain't it.

One of Trump's problems with Iran (among many) is that lagging feeling of déjà vu, like the Lucille Ball/Harpo Marx routine, where mirrored movement, follows mirrored movement. The Republican Guard is just as stubborn as Trump, for similar reasons. A hat drop moment awaits.

And the battle to keep federal noses out of state elections is joined. - calmatters.org/politics/202...

The battle to count votes, and to make sure votres count, begins. = electionlawblog.org?p=156441

For those of us of a certain age, music begins to play in our heads when we read ...

Currently, Trump is messing with your ability to vote by mail. Call your representative today and scream as loud as you can. Trump is coming for your vote.

Iran will not give up its uranium. Obama had the problem covered. Trump tore up the agreement. Trump does not understand how to compromise. He'll be out of office before a change occurs.

Vance on the Pope's statement- - What I read of it sounds very profound, & the sort of thing that you would expect & hope from a leader of the church. The thing about morality is that the principles never change, but the way you apply those principles does, because the world changes, right? - Wrong.

Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) “was jeered and backpedaled from several of President Donald Trump’s signature policies at a town hall Tuesday evening — his second contentious encounter with constituents within the past year,” NOTUS reports.

But, you did expect graft? Why did you vote for him? Or did you just vote against someone else? I'd like journalism(hah!) on the right to just come clean. Never will. -

What you get when a product that was overhyped must make an appearance. - CNET: “My first thought on opening the box was: This is not the shade of matte gold I would have chosen for my flagship phone. It was kind of giving dehydrated pee vibes.”

After WWII, there was an element of danger in US intervention, led by POTUS's convinced of the invulnerability of the US. Korea was about paranoia. Vietnam was absolutely a lie-fest. Reagan, Bush & Trump engaged in their fantasies. But there was intelligence and professionalism. No longer. -

Times change but situations don't. Iran's threats merely invite the nations of the middle-east to unite. This is an echo of post WWII Europe. Iran as the tyrant of the Middle-East? Not for an unlimited period of time. I agree about the problem, but not the solution. Old Empires never learn. -

So, Obama got most of what could be done, correct. And Trump hasn't gotten back to zero yet. Of course, he'll lie about the whole thing. - HL reads- To Get Strait Open, Trump Left Hardest Issues for Later

@internethippo.bsky.social Everyone thinks identically? Except you? And then you block people who wish to comment? Not very consistent.

Good. But Trump's lies and blaming will continue. It'll take 3-4 months to get oil/gas/other production back up to normal, which'll put lower prices beginning not long before the election. Believe your eyes and your pocketbook.

And about the war thing? Bush and Trump have that in common. They both thought, flex a little, and things will go our way. Both were very, very wrong.

Virtually nothing will have changed in Iran when everything is said and done. Trump tore up the original agreement, supposedly because of returned funds. Nothing and no one force Iran to give up enriched U 235. No one can free a people that have no power to do so. Change usually comes from within.

The problem with not being inclusive, is that those on the outside have nothing to lose.The issue with Republicans has been that they don't truly commit to unburdening themselves. Are Texans tired of being represented by the Trump/Paxton/Epstein class? Ken Paxton in about to find out. -

Sad. Trump has a self hater in his cabinet. -

Tulsi Gabbard is resigning from her post as Director of National Intelligence to support her husband through his battle with “an extremely rare form of bone cancer,” Fox News reports.

As comedians say, you've got to know where the line is, & attempt to cross it. Or not. This week, for a while, Colbert no longer needs to approach the line. Trump crossed that line, & as usual, refuses to back down. He feels his pain, & nobody else's. Keep booing, & for our sake, vote in November.

Funny how much louder the ass-kissers have gotten, as Trump's credibility tanks. When he's gone, what will these people do? I do not care. - '... untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated." Trump describing, himself?

Says the man who voted the wrong way on impeachment. Too late, Mitch. - “So the nation’s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick.” — Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), quoted by Politico.

The Big Lie gets the Big Ignore. Remember, if not for Covid, which Trump tried to ignore, none of us would have been home watching. Isn't Norman the guy who said that because of gerrymandering "we don't have to live in fear anymore .." -

Anyone else have a problem with the Melber show today? Somehow it didn't show up here, or at least not in its entirety. Very strange.

Doesn't have MTG's backbone, which isn't saying much. - You don’t have to be a rubber stamp for the president to support him and to align with him and also follow his agenda.” — Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), quoted by NewsNation.

Just open graft. - White House Attempts to Buy Off Senators The White House put out a one-pager about the fund which says the “weaponization fund” will have “no partisan restriction” and that senators “whose records were secretly subpoenaed” could also apply.

In other words, you caused the problem you're complaining about. -

New York Times: “A federal judge ordered the White House on Wednesday to preserve all presidential records including text messages exchanged among its top officials, telling the Trump administration that at least for now it must follow a law it had unilaterally declared unconstitutional.”

Do the real estate people calling, understand that I recognize their all their voices? Not for sale. Go away.
