"We could not wait for mass casualties on the American side" - so we started throwing around bombs to insure that we'll get them.

β€œImagine a room awash in gasoline, and there are two implacable enemies in that room. One of them has nine thousand matches. The other has seven thousand matches. Each of them is concerned about who's ahead, who's stronger. Well that's the kind of situation we are actually in.”

Too many people seem to want politics to be a cult of personality. Every candidate apparently must either be slavishly loved or mindlessly hated.
Me, I'm digging Newsom as the current attack dog - but that isn't the 'skill' I'm looking for in a president.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs β€” including nearly two million children.

The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.

Priorities.

Well, he's quite the overachiever, so I'm going with "all of the above."

For someone who became famous on TV for firing people in person, Donald is such a coward about firing people in real life. He fired Kristi Noem in a tweet *while* she was giving a televised address.

Well, it's not actually being managed now, so guess that's not an issue for this administration.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Personally, my choice is "attend, but don't react to anything other than applause if he accidentally gets something right." He would LOVE to have Dems behave like these pinheads - GOP candidates would have commercials featuring the clips running nonstop from now to doomsday.

This part. I don't want Dems to shout or wave signs around - I want them to sit there, stone-faced. He wants a reaction, ANY reaction, so don't give him one.

No matter what Donald Trump says tonight, the American people already know that he's failed to lower costs, failed working families, and failed to uphold the Constitution. I’ll be there, because I won’t let him or anyone else intimidate me or keep me from doing my job.

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.

Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead.

β€˜Just a couple of guys’: How a little-known company could score big from a Trump trade deal President Donald Trump's levies on automobiles and auto parts were unaffected by the Supreme Court's Friday tariff decision, likely meaning Japan will stick to its pact with the U.S.

This administration has already removed the ABA from the process here. That said, the problem isn't with lifetime appointments, it's the total lack of integrity in the people who are still part of the process.
