“You gotta win the midterms,” Trump said. “Because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be, I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.” Trump today (Jan 6th) at the Republican retreat.

Would we attack Greenland, a NATO ally? And would the rest of NATO respond with military action?

I have to ask. Does Venezuela contain any marble quarries? I mean, he is looking to put marble in his pet ballroom project. Wait! What about Greenland?

“China and Russia swarming around Greenland” now has the equivalency of “Venezuela is a major producer of fentanyl.” And we better pay attention because war drunk Trump will destroy NATO to get Greenland.

It’s January 6th. A day that will live in infamy.

So explain how the US is any different than Russia in Ukraine or even China with Taiwan?

Day One Promises: No more endless wars Release the Epstein files Gas prices under $2/gal Groceries prices down Inflation down Day One Promises Kept: Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Zip, Zero, Zilch

Mentally deficient Trump is now also power drunk. The GOP needs to get him in check. It’s going to be hard because they have been complicit for so long but they have to stuff that chaotic genie back in the bottle.

NATO changing the saying from “An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us” to “An attack by one of us is an attack on all of us”

Come to MAGA Lago for the taco bowl. Stay for the black ops.

So what’s the end game for Trump in Venezuela? Distraction: Economy, Epstein Files, Blowing up boats in the name of drug interdiction? Personal wealth gain? We should follow the money. Doing the Oil Bros a favor? He’s a self centered lame duck. What’s in it for him?

Rubio: We are not in charge of Venezuela Trump: We are in charge of Venezuela And the sweet smell of chaos wafts from the Trump admin. Again.

I love that the admin is crowing “Look what we did. We captured a narco terrorist who is pumping drugs into our country. Aren’t we great?” Has that really ended the drug traffic? Everybody working and running the cocaine are all still there. If it was about drugs was this a success?

Always looking for a positive. Here’s one I found. Our soldiers went up against Russian air defense systems that were supposed to control the skies over Venezuela. They were destroyed in about 30 minutes. Sure, this whole thing is a sh*t show, but not our military.

There is an awful lot of chaos surrounding the Venezuelan (For lack of a better term) takeover. Entire admin talking at once. No clear plan. Dollar signs in everybody’s eyes but the Venezuelans. But Trump and his party now own this. The GOP now owns this as well. #VoteBlue2026

Maduro is bad. But the cost and chaos of this operation wasn’t thought through by anyone in the Trump admin. And now that he has opened the precedent to other world leaders, what’s to stop China and Russian from doing the same to Taiwan and Ukraine. Or Europe from removing Trump. Chaos reigns!

I realize Maduro is a bad leader. I realize he just went on being President even after 2024 election results said otherwise. One can see similarities in both men. Is this a “Wag the dog” maneuver just to keep people out of the Epstein files? Is it the oil?

Never fails. Chaos rules the day with Trump.

If I understand the end of that presser. Are we contemplating doing this with Cuba?

So the US has taken over Venezuela? Does that mean Trump will drop merch including MVGA hats?

Really? He wants to change the Monroe Doctrine to the Donroe Doctrine. I thought we were changing regime and selling oil. Not bastardizing over 200 years of American foreign policy.

We bombed a sovereign nation and captured the leader of a sovereign nation just to take attention away from the Epstein files? There must be some damning evidence in there about some folks. Wonder who?

I think we just started a war with Venezuela. Let me rephrase that. Trump (the guy who really wants a Nobel Peace Prize) ordered American soldiers to strike targets in Venezuela.

Enjoy the day. Then it’s back to work to take back the House and Senate. This is the year we save democracy. America’s democracy is 250 years old. Let’s keep it a good bit longer.

According to reporting about the US economy, about 700 companies went bust because of Trump’s tariffs. Some of he companies listed were pretty big. Think of the jobs lost and families upended. And those company upheavals ripple through the entire economy. #TrumpChaos

Trump bragging that all of the 255 hostages in the Hamas attack on Israel were released because of him. Except for the 100 that were released during the Biden administration. Why does no reporter just say “whoopsie daisy” wrong!

“My friends will get hurt” Trump’s response to MTG about not releasing the names of Epstein’s co-conspirators. Two observations. Have we ever know Trump to watch out for anyone but himself? He often projects about himself.

“They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago or something with a boat. Well, we were there with boats too, I’m sure.” Trump talking about his nonsense claim to Greenland and also forgetting that he is all about being president during America’s 250th anniversary.

Trump asked if we would like to see him leave the presidency and become a full time host. And I am an unequivocal YES to that. Do it now and he can go back to hosting a reality TV show. It is after all his only resumé item.

Do we think the Big Brains at the DOJ are slow rolling the release of Epstein files out of loyalty to Trump. Or do we think they just don’t have a skill set to produce a data dump such as this?

Please tell me he realizes they are the children of immigrants. He can’t be that stupid, can he?

Jim Jordan declaring that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a Republican is all you need to know about how hard the House works for the people of America in general and for the people of Dist OH4 in particular.

We are almost a year into the Trump presidency. And “fix it on day one” never happened and it is all Biden’s fault. Still.

Will our allies and adversaries look on the sacking of career diplomats with benign curiosity? Probably not.

Here’s a good thing that’s come out of this Epstein files debacle. It proves beyond any doubt the one man the department of justice is working for. There is no confusion about DOJ weaponization for the benefit of the President.

Tonight instead of the “T-Rump-Kennedy Center Honors” how about a holiday movie? I’ll be watching “It’s a Wonderful Life.” How about you?

Clinton while still being skeevy, appears to have nothing to hide. Unlike the guy who has ordered his DOJ to protect him.

What’s all this about? Evidence is evidence when about Clinton or anyone not named Trump. But evidence is fake when it’s about Trump? Current DOJ went to the Kelly Ann Conway school of alternative facts. WH going way back to the 1st term to try and spin these files.

Remember when Trump was fueling the conspiracy of the tribunals that would spell doom for the global cabal that promoted pedophilia. Turns out between a world court and the Epstein files and his actual adjudicated sexual battery. He’s appears to be all that in one orange package.

“There’s plenty more but this is a great start!” Phil Mickelson commenting on the arrest list of prominent democrats. And just like that, my support of Lefty is finished. My wish is that there is no spot in the PGA where Phil Mickelson can land.

Ohio, my state, is quietly eroding voter laws here. Going to make our midterm elections tougher to win. But Ohioans that support democratic values can prevail in this environment. We just have to be vigilant. 2026 arrives soon. #VoteBlueOhio

Who is Marjorie Traitor Brown? Is Trump talking about the 2nd Wicked movie or something? Wow he is way round the bend. And the crowd behind him knows it.

The only people playing at the misnamed Trump Kennedy Center will be Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock.

Maybe spiking the CECOT segment on 60 Minutes tells us who might be in charge of the WH as Trump cognitively declines.

We probably won’t, but should all agree that Trump is not in command of his faculties and his presidency as he once was. This begs the question: Who or what is Trump’s auto pen?

At some point in time every section of the judicial system will have to deal with the consequences of weaponizing the judicial system. Some people will be unhappy. Mostly MAGA lawyers are going to be unhappy.

You can redact words and pictures all you want. But you can’t redact memories. The victims will start speaking about the missing words and pics. Give them time.

So sure it’s all redacted and sure they are dragging their heals with the release. But the sad thing is victims are not being heard and associates of Epstein appear to be above the law. That was the entire point of releasing the files. No one is above the law.

Real good article in the Atlantic on Trump’s use of 92% when he is lying. He uses the number a lot and it is never accurate. Go figure.

Already the answer to a victims damning commentary about Trump. Trump was never there and Trump kicked Epstein out of the club. We will hear that over and over as the victims review the files. Because while the files are heavily redacted, the victims memories are not.
