The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

The only person he hasn’t introduced is Nicolas Maduro, but the night isn’t over yet?

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

πŸ“ŒSo the Republicans have the Executive, the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court, but Democrats cheat in elections so they need to be federalized.

That’s some nuclear-powered fascist GOP propaganda right there …

Trump sues the IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over leaked tax records The president argued in the lawsuit that the agencies failed to prevent a former contractor from leaking his tax returns from nearly a decade ago to news outlets.

The giant orange asshole residing in what’s left of the White House doesn’t care about the country he’s been chosen to lead.
His primary concern is how much money he can extract in the time he has left.

We’re going after the worst of the worst β€” my ass!

A five-year-old child was deported to Honduras despite being an American citizen. On January 11 she was deported along side her mother whose visa application was pending.

No contact with a lawyer & never went before a judge. Not right!

Why does everyone assume that the goons we see jumping out of unmarked vehicles wearing jeans, WalMart ski masks and surplus EBay tactical gear actual ICE personnel?
I’m betting a good number are Proud Boys, J6ers or KKK that are just there for the thrill of it.

Every bit of this violence and unrest can be blamed on one person, President Donald J. Trump.
He set the tone, dictated the policies and hired the people to execute his plan.
He could end it all immediately but that wouldn’t serve his purposes. This provides cover for his other problems like Epstein

In the midst of all the noise and outrage created by the Trump admin that we’re forced to wade through, they go and quietly pull some shit like this.
Just another brick in the wall of isolationism they’re building around the USA.

DOJ could end the craziness around Trump by releasing all the Epstein files.
He would have to concentrate on defending himself and his rich friends.
The distractions won’t won’t be needed when everything is released and he has to concentrate on keeping his ass out of jail.

I’m going to the garage and gather some of my son’s old baseball trophies, medals, and rings to send to Trump.
He clearly never played well enough to win any of his own.
Everyone should do the same, let’s flood the White House with unwanted trophies.

That is a revolting thing to display. If it was the Botoxed Grotesque’s own choice to put it there, she needs to be dragged away to a secure psychiatric facility - because it’s an insane thing to have done.

Does it really take 19 masked goons to arrest one overweight middle aged man? Maybe so if none of the 19 thugs has received any proper training before taking to the streets.

Venezuela is β€˜uninvestible’ for now, Exxon CEO tells Trump in White House meeting Trump said companies that invest in Venezuela would be assured β€œtotal safety, total security.”

β€œBig Oil” execs aren’t about to risk their jobs or shareholder interests by investing in Venezuela if there’s any chance that Trump will be in control.
That crazy son of a bitch has bankrupted companies at least six times, ETTD.

Kristi β€œIce Princess” Noem is a damned liar. A blind man can watch the video of the shooting and tell that her version of events is bullshit.
I hope that she quickly gets everything she has coming, it won’t be pretty for her.

US justice department has released less than 1% of Epstein files, filing reveals Federal law required majority of documents to be released by 19 December, but only 125,575 pages have been published

FFS, how long are members of Congress who voted for the release of the Epstein files going to wait to do something about DOJ’s failure to comply?
They have rolled over for Pam Bondi like she’s Trump, total submission.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
