Who will be the first to take off their shoes? Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes.

Trump’s shoe test borders on humiliation ritual. They appear much too big on most of the recipients, and with their pants hemmed to match the president’s absurdly short length, it’s comical. One might assume that Trump purchases the incorrect sizes on purpose. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/who-...

This is the ranting of an insane person. None of these countries are going to fall for it. The reality star and his Fox News personalities are in way over their heads. They charged into a war that looks like a suicide mission he insists he’s already won.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

Why does Trump need allies to help him in a war he’s already won?

If #Trumb bombs #Kharg, #Iran main oil export terminal, 1–2 million barrels/day vanishes. That would raise crude $10–$25/barrel & US gas $0.30–$0.80/gal.

Higher fuel costs ripple through trucking, airlines, shipping, & food; driving inflation and cutting discretionary spending.

So much winning!

WTF?

After insulting all our allies, #Trump now is trying coalition building via social media.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Last week: “We don’t need your stupid aircraft carrier, UK!!!!”

Today: “Hopefully, the UK will send an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz!!!”

What a fool.

The DOJ released documents on 3/6 revealing the FBI interviewed a woman who alleged she was sexually abused by Trump, Epstein, & others when she was just 13-years old.

THEY KNEW IT! Every perpetrator, every enabler & all who covered up the truth need consequences.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets. This is why we need to make sure that on March 28 — two weeks from today— we march across America in the largest demonstration in the nation’s history. NoKings.org

Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.”

Now he’s begging them for help.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

Ladies & gentleman:

May I introduce to you, the Secretary of Health & Human Services.

It seems implausible. How could such an imbecile be put in such an important position?

how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:

"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."

"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
