The consensus on Joni Ernst is “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

She was the decisive vote to confirm Hegseth.

“No one gives a shit about housing” isn’t anything like signaling some ambivalence about the housing crisis.

The answer depends on how deep in the military the corruption has spread.

Military leaders have followed unlawful orders (targeting the drug boats).

If the unlawful order is given by Trump to Hegseth to mistreat Irani POWs can we be confident that it won’t be followed.

Does anyone think the Trump DOD would treat Iranian POWs decently? Trump’s comments suggest they are sub-human.

Jeffries and Schumer should both take note of this - there are many Democrats who are completely fed up with Democratic congressional leadership.

We need new leaders in both chambers in January 2027.

I think we can safely say that Lindsey Graham is just as fucking crazy as Trump.

The malignant narcissist authoritarian wannabe dictator is literally going to destroy Tehran.

I wonder if Kevin Hassett realizes this will be the last job he ever has.

Iran as a reliable and safe supplier of energy. WTAF.

Yes it was $2.60 a couple of weeks ago.

Really does anyone give a shit about what Kyle Rittenhouse thinks.

Wow.

40% of the vote still to be counted.

In some counties, no votes have been counted from voters who voted on Election Day.

If you count all the votes:

Democrats: 404K
Republicans: 347K

Bryan is being generous in characterizing Trump, Rubio and Hegseth as half-wits. Quarter-wits maybe, on a good day.

Do you think they should share a prison cell? I wonder how that would go.

For some reason I’m not all surprised by this.

This is a solid statement as to the worthlessness of the Republican controlled House and Senate.

And they don’t have a plan as to how to end it.

I’m beginning to think that Thomas Massie, a very conservative Republican congressman from very conservative Kentucky will be the one to bring Trump down.

The question is, why would you invite a known liar onto your show. She’s 100% MAGA Trump bootlicker who supports Trump no matter how insane his thinking is.

Exactly.

This is very odd. Where is the convicted felon’s extraordinarily long tie?

Yes it is nasty. I worked at a supermarket in Philadelphia in the 1970s. It was shipped to the store in large frozen blocks. The butchers cut it into thick slices using a Band-Saw like it was lumber.

Oz is a licensed physician who has personally intervened here to deny necessary healthcare to Medicaid patients.

A physician has the responsibility to care for those who need medical care.

Keep in mind:

Rep. Green’s activity was First Amendment protected speech.

Rep. Gonzalez’s sexual harassment of a member of his staff is a criminal offense.

Does anyone think about the idea that toppling the Iranian regime is really not our business.

And does anyone think that doing that would bring a western style democratic government to Iran.
