Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

“This isn’t a constitutional crisis yet.”—Chuck Schumer, every time it’s a constitutional crisis

We're now two weeks past the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files, and are overly redacting and tampering with what they do release, because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

He literally just said, "MAKE VENEZUELA GREAT AGAIN"

It’s gonna be an embarrassing day for MAGA when Maduro buys a pardon from Trump.

How is takingn over Venezuela "America First"?

America!©️™️ Now open in Venezuela. Franchising opportunities available in Columbia, Canada, Greenland and Gaza. Contact your local billionaire oligarch for assistance in starting your own America©️™️

So when he said “drill baby drill” what he really meant was “bomb baby bomb” a sovereign nation to overthrow their government and steal their oil.

They need to add a section on International Law to that cognitive test.

So let me get this straight... The president of Venezuela got arrested before anyone in the Epstein files?

Anyone who thinks the U.S. military will be greeted as liberators is in for a rude awakening. They know we’re there to strip the resources.

Jack Ryan breaks it down.

Has Big Oil thanked the taxpayer yet for letting them use our military in Venezuela for free?

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Evening coffee.

Unintentionally laughed out loud at a crusty old white guy wearing a MAGA cap on Third Avenue today. Don’t often see those bozos here, and it caught me off guard. I didn’t feel guilty. There needs to be a social cost for exhibiting that garbage.

Honestly, at this point, if you love America, an apology feels like the bare minimum.

Well, that FIFA Peace Prize just doesn’t mean what it used to.

Yes, Maduro is bad, but so is imperialism.

By Monday, Jared Kushner will be in Caracas scouting locations to build resorts.

When America abdicates its role as a defender of freedom and becomes the oppressor, it emboldens dictators everywhere. We are about to learn some hard lessons. One being how instrumental we used to be at preventing the world from descending into madness.

Men in the Epstein files arrested for raping young girls? 0 Bad leaders of foreign countries with rare earth minerals and massive oil reserves arrested to distract you from the terrible things this regime is doing? 1

Maduro is a dictator and Venezuelans have fled for decades. But Trump’s actions aren’t about human rights or election results. They’re about control of Venezuela’s oil. He just proved he’ll use blatant lies as a pretext to seize leaders who won’t comply.

We're now Russia of the West Stock up on Vodka, you're going to need it

Sure, Trump is launching unauthorized military strikes and kidnapped a foreign head of state in violation of international law, but at least he’s passing those cognitive tests. Reassuring.

Given how often he posts about this, it seems less like reassurance for others and more like he’s trying to convince himself that he passed the cognitive exam.

Are we great yet? www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

His lack of self awareness is stunning…

If you had to Google “CSAM” today, then congratulations, you’re not in the Epstein Files.

George Santos says he’s “officially” left NYC. Thanks, Mamdani! This is what I voted for.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why? So they don't kick in until after the midterms. Help spread the word.

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

Of course they wouldn’t want to include academic analysis in slanted news reports that are bound to conflict with the facts. And we know who the “elites” are in this context, too. CBS is dead.

Sad. The only one who attended Eric Adams farewell speech was pizza rat.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Is he dead yet? Sometime this year, the answer will be yes.

As Pedo in Chief ushers in the new year w his merry band of fasch trash flying monkeys at MAL-the energy outside his gilded, delusional microcosm is shifting. Tick tock, fascist pedo scum. We the People have had enough. Happy New Year, bsky squad! Hold the line ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

I would rather be Kristi’s puppy than be stuck in this room with those people.

Cold day in NYC, looking north along 6th Ave.

SMITH says he had evidence that Trump directly ordered alleged co-conspirators to call senators on the evening of Jan. 6 to try to continue delaying the vote ceritification. He also had evidence that Bannon said Trump was still "on fire" on evening of Jan. 6.

Mayor Mamdani.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.
