I served. I came under fire. I had dying bones and pain that was not diagnosed until later. tRump plays a tough guy but he is a coward who can’t even fire people to their faces unless it is scripted for him in a TV show. Sad how many bought his alpha talk and rants as a sign of being a true man when it really was him showing he was a spoiled man child who resorted to insults and blather to confuse people. Hugs

Everything they thought was clear is suddenly all mixed up—and that’s without the new problems at school: sexting, peer pressure, and overdue book reports.“

Trump posts as president of the United States but he's allowed to sell early access to his posts for more convenient insider trading. Just obscene vile corruption:
🤯 even Hassett can't spin hotter than expected inflation data: "It's a disappointing report … things have accelerated over the last three months … the trickle down from higher energy prices is definitely very palpable in the data"
Sinema, bottom right, was a far left radical member of the Green Party. She was light years to the left of Bernie and AOC before members of the Koch family approached her with bags of cash. Same for all of them. Fetterman is now going to Republikkkan training seminars paid for by the Koch family.
Turning Points USA picked many of the bigoted racists losers that lost in the midterms. They also spread fake and vile homophobic, anti-Muslim, and trans slurs about Dem candidates.
BASH: Do you see it as your job as attorney general to represent anyone in the administration being investigated by Congress?BLANCHE: Wait, do I see it as my job? The Constitution sees it as my job!BASH: So if Hegseth faces impeachment, would you represent him?BLANCHE: Well, yeah
wow — Blanche on Fox News Sunday claims oversight from Dems is "not the way this country can survive or live with these ongoing threats … if you work in this administration, you have a lawyer. It's me."(Note that at the end even the Fox News host is a bit taken aback by Blanche's rhetoric … )
Blanche: "I understand there are people who have said they believe there is some sort of corruption. That's largely because the media and Democrats have highlighted any time there's any kind of success in this country that has to do with anybody in this administration, they call that corruption… "
BASH: Trump said Democratic lawmakers are 'extortionists and should be in prison.' Is that a possibility?BLANCHE: Well, it depends on what the crime is and what they've done
here's is full footage of the crashout Attorney General Todd Blanche just had on CNN, including him confirming he'll investigate Democrats on Trump's demand and leaving the door open to trying to imprison them
Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, and as Attorney General of the United States, he’s still acting like it. Blanche should be defending the Constitution, not threatening our Committee for doing our jobs.

In recent months Kobach appeared here for rescinding driver’s licenses for trans and intersex people and for demanding that Kansas cities repeal bans on ex-gay torture.

Q: If I said Joe Biden is the part owner of a company and it has all of these investments from the Middle East, you would say that sounds corrupt, right?
Trump: Well, he did have a lot of different things.
again, something of a banal observation, but i think contributing to the general feeling of powerlessness and rage in america today is the extent to which our elites engage in such flagrant, grotesque, even performative contempt for the rest of america
Also important to remember about Trump:He believes in NOTHING. He has now morals, values, principles, or firmly held beliefs. He has no ideology. People like Stephen Miller think they’ve found their man… while Trump can and will turn on them on a dime whenever it suits him.
