Another day, another disgusting chapter of the GOP's enormous coverup for the unaccountable elite is revealed.

I never thought I'd see a U.S. attorney general treat congressional questioners with such contempt. Pam Bondi's angry invective in response to legitimate questions today is a nauseating new low for the DOJ and provides more evidence that an epic coverup is under way.

Never in his life has Trump wanted honesty in anything. He wants a whitewash. In the meantime, he's trying to bullshit his way out of taking blame for sponsoring state terrorism.

How can it be an insurrection when the only people being shot are the alleged insurrectionists?

Pope Leo XIV has summoned the world's cardinals for two days of meetings to help him govern the church, in the clearest sign yet that the new year will signal the unofficial start of his pontificate. n.pr/44ykAyM

A new world order based on the mafia economic model: Any crime is OK as long as you kick up to the boss.

Well thank you for elevating the speculation of idiots to a false equivalency with, you know, folks who went to school to learn how comets work. You should be embarrassed NYT.

Can't decide whether this is another grift, or that they know something the rest of us don't.

This will never replace "I won in 2020" in the pantheon of Trump lies, but "the ballroom will be separate from the East Wing" has to be up there with it. Not since the War of 1812 has the White House sustained so much damage. The man is pestilence personified.

The colonel has a right to choose his path, but the problem is that Trump will now fill his post with someone less devoted to his constitutional oath and more devoted to Trump. It's same process that helped MAGAtize Congress.

"Plenary" means absolute, as in power without any restrictions. Miller froze because he realized he gave away the plan. Dictatorship isn't simply an accusation anymore. It's the administration's guiding principle.

How many times has NYT run headlines that contain the word "Trump" and the phrase "may be illegal"? It has to be a lot. Perhaps it should start adding, "but SCOTUS is corrupt."

Another reminder of how corruptly wrong Donald Trump's energy policies are. bbc.com/news/article...

Fat Satan has a healthcare plan — in about two weeks. 🙄

A lifelong coward just hours from closing the government spends millions to fly top brass to Virginia so he can cosplay as a tough guy, telling them to use Americans as stand-ins for people he would subjugate. In reality, though, we're not stand-ins. We're the targets. Release the Epstein files.

The editor at large of the Daily Caller, a member of the White House press pool, wants to see "blood in the streets."

Donnie and his termites will tell their fawning media tools that Democrats are the primary source of violent rhetoric. The lie will then be parroted in diners, cafes and bars across MAGA America as if cultists are trying to convince themselves that they're not the true sources and enablers.

This speaker sums up Charlie Kirk perfectly. We can abhor how he died, but cannot abide how he lived. He was a professional propagandist from the day he left from high school, spreading hate and lies wherever he went. It is a disgrace that he's treated as a martyr. www.facebook.com/reel/1061937...

That's right, Americans. The largest upward transfer of wealth in the nation's history is just a simple marketing challenge.

How did a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery hand absolute power over to Hitler, someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following?

Did anyone ever doubt that the Russian asset would thrown Ukraine under the bus?

Donnie probably was underpaying "the help" and doubtless mistreating them.

Is he claiming to have a residence in Kingston?

Evidently, their biggest mistake was not giving Donnie his pardon percentage.

Same old bullshit and cliches. He's posturing for MAGA, but he's absolutely clueless. If he wants regime change, he'll have to put boots on the ground. Then this will be Iraq all over, except that Iran has twice as many people and a much more lethal military than Saddam had.

They blew up empty tunnels. This is what happens when imbeciles and chest-puffing drunks are running the show.

This is what Trump is warming up MAGA to accept. First, a one-off bombing, then defending the fleet, then boots on the ground. He can sell shit, but he's never been able to make it any of it work, from bogus universities to casinos to "trickle-down" tax cuts. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Turn a blind eye? ICE probably will have recruiters onsite.

I don't always agree with Friedman, but he nails the crux of how Trump is destroying the U.S. economy and national security bit by bit, day by day. His numerous bankruptcies matter a lot now that no one around him or in the GOP will say no.

Only if he buys the suggested amount of Trumpcoin.

If you think your citizenship protects you from the ICE storm troopers, you're wrong. Nobody is safe from Trump's fascist national police force. He knows this and approves.

U.S. global leadership has been reduced to a sordid reality show hosted by a contemptible con man for the entertainment of his racist followers.

The quintessential Trump appointee: a grifting liar posing as an expert at things he's clueless about.

RFKontagion is in the administration to con the "miracle cure" crowd into thinking it has a voice. But nothing he says actually means anything in a policy sense.

The U.S. Navy loses three $60 million fighter jets protecting Persian Gulf oil tankers from Houthi missiles, and he gets a flying super yacht. Only stupid people believe this is a "gift," not a bribe.

Not just gang violence, but gang violence made much, much worse by U.S.-made guns.

He took a fucking oath while millions watched.

The presidential oath of office has only two elements: faithfully execute its duties and "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution." He's not upholding the oath. This is a ground for impeachment. And if he can't remember swearing to these things three months ago, then he's too senile to serve.

Ukraine should know that nothing is as transitory as a Trump "deal." He'll renounce this agreement in a heartbeat if it suits his political agenda and/or bank account.

Barely living evidence of the need for congressional term limits.

And lest we forget, the 2020 low came during a pandemic that killed millions of people. Those of you who swallowed "the price of eggs will go down on my first day," behold what your gullibility has wrought.

Thus advances Trump's second cull of American people.

Gabbard's audience today consisted of one person, so covering her own ass meant covering his. But I doubt he'll be overjoyed because, at least, she opened a door for Goldberg to release his notes. You can bet the farm they contain other MAGA-among-themselves moments, such as Vance's Europe idiocy.
