the seizure of Venezuela’s oil and placement of its proceeds into Trump’s own hands,

Letting the tariffs stick would ipso facto be an acceptance of the "National Emergency" The Orange Large One declared right out of the gate--- when there was and is--- no emergency. How about THAT question?

If the Supreme Court can overturn Roe v. Wade and enable the Trump cartel to run amok, then why should we expect anything good from this motley crew.
US laws and the constitution are being subverted for political purposes. SCOTUS is no longer resp…

It would be ill-advised to expect anything but subservience from SCOTUS. Let's get that inflation roaring!

Anyone who thinks this hostile U.S.A. operating with zero international trust or allies is "great", is either really low IQ or has a mental disorder.
How soon these fools have forgotten that we have called on coalitions constantly for help. And th…

Jesse lays into the "draft dodging coward"! Man, did he ever get that right.

Oh, yeah! Great find.
Did you guys know that Gary Trudeau (of Doonesbury) predicted a trump run for POTUS, back in the 1980's?

A treat, the latest Playing For Change piece just dropped. The Doors! Featuring Robby Krieger and John Densmore.

No sh**. What’s next, your state tax return so they can spy on your charitable donation to see which party the taxpayer belong to?

In his spare time, he also looks through individual mortgage documents to find any discrepancies in the mortgages that had been processed and approved by the lenders years ago
I see what you did there!
Clever catch, too. @orage

"I started changing my opinion of him when he started openly lying about the COVID-19 pandemic. I could hardly believe it when he started the Jan. 6 assault on our country. Since then, he’s only gotten worse, saying he hates Democrats and attacking …
"My opinion has changed. I voted for him in the 2024 election, and he hasn’t done one good thing since then. He is just not a good person at all. Plain and simple."

"I voted for him because I thought he would be better on border security than Harris. But he lost me from the get-go when he pardoned all of the Jan. 6 felons, including those who violently attacked police. I never liked him as a person, and his per…
"I thought Trump would bring some much-needed change to the existing two-party system. He did, but not the way I wanted him to. Instead of making real changes to help the people, he's failed to deliver on any of his promises, then turns around and l…
"Trump has brought us to the brink of a second civil war. I'm embarrassed to tell people I'm from the U.S. I'm even more embarrassed that no Republican has the balls to stand up to him. We elected a clown, and made the country a circus."
—Anonymous,…
"His vindictiveness is so childish and selfish. I felt true fear for our country during the Jan. 6 riots, and even more fear when Trump was reelected in 2024. My mind was made up about him during his second election campaign, when he refused to deno…
"A lot of things led to me losing faith in Donald Trump. And I want to point out — I was never a full-blown Trump supporter. I did vote for him, though. It seems like he’s completely lost touch with the average American, and he is clearly covering u…
"I thought by now my family would be able to afford groceries. I thought we would have a house, instead of paying $1,800 in rent each month for a small apartment. I assumed we would have a chance at 'the American Dream.' Wishful thinking, I guess."
"I am especially unhappy with the way he's handling immigration. It seems very cruel and unnecessary — of course, I want people to come into this country legally, but the way the president regards immigrants is unacceptable and inhumane."
"I voted for Trump in 2020 only. Then, concerns about abortion rights made me change my vote to Democrat in the 2024 election. If that hadn’t done it, the inhumane treatment of immigrants and lack of respect for due process would have turned me off …
I suppose that all these people that voted for trump only one year ago, are plagued by TDS? It must be contagious. Here is an opportunity for a vaccine that maga would approve!
