Fwaaak! I really want Secretary of "War" Hegseth to stop with his Christian crusader soldier bullshit. Instead of living in reality, he looks like he's role-playing a 13th century fantasy holy war against the Moors, with himself cast as the sword-wielding conquering knight. With lots of hair gel.

This is what happens when most of the expertise leaves, and a hyper-partisan hack enamored of her boss heads the agency. Sloppy, careless amateurs.

What a spectacular Trumpian way to distract from his stinking Epstein cover-up: start a war and see Cadet Bonespurs hand out medals.

Reading that 18-to-25-year-old "hyper-masculine" dudes living in the manosphere are worried about what may happen to them following Trump's military action in Iran. I wonder, has Barron Trump registered for the draft?

If true, the deportees will exit the United States in style in a craft outfitted with leather captain's chairs, wood paneling, two bedrooms, including a master suite with flat screen television and shower, a wet bar, and private cabin used by Noem and Lewandowski.

How many of us are fed up to the gills with the corruption of the Trump regime? Kristi Noem and "advisor" Corey Lewandowski travel the skies in a $70 million dollar luxuriously outfitted jet Noem wants the taxpayers to purchase, to be used for "deportation purposes" according to Noem.

Please call 202-224-3121 and follow the prompts to talk to your representatives and Senators. Tell them to impeach the entire administration. They are the enemy from within. You can also Google their official email.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Oh, boo-hoo to right-wing pearl clutching over Olympic skier Hunter Hess's remarks about his "mixed emotions" representing the U.S. right now, given the horrific turn our nation has taken under Trump's regime. Let's free the Olympics from all symbols of nationalism, and make it truly a global event.

Disheartening to learn that Vance and spouse thought it necessary to foul the Olympics by delivering unwelcome Trumpstink to the Olympics. Many booing in the stadium did not appreciate their presence.

This is a long read, but most informative. You can skim to the part about ballot and machine seizures in Puerto Rico, the bit making the connection to the imprisonment of Maduro, and Trump's plan to nationalize the coming election. Write your reps & senators.

Perhaps instead of focusing on alleged Somali fraud in Minnesota, the nation would be better served if Noem turned her gaze to her own state:

“I am doing the same thing to the United States of America, but only on a ‘slightly’ larger scale!”"

Does Donald listen to the words coming from his own mouth, or is he simply that clueless?

"Even if the physical overhaul succeeds, the center will still have the same problems of audience, artists, and staff when it’s done—only in a gaudier space. In effect, Trump appears to have graffitied his name on an empty shell.

Now the preternaturally thin-skinned Trump vows to sue Grammy host Trevor Noah for some slight. Anyone else sick of how this manbaby can tie our court system into wicked knots? I can't believe a U.S. president watches every awards show, ready to chase down quips made at his expense. Sweet Baby Jesus

Trump temporarily closing the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Of course it has nothing to do with the venue's recent revenue hemorrhaging, and everything to do with badly needed rebuilding - I mean, many "experts" say so, according to wrecking ball Trump ("I'm a builder. It's what I do.)

You really can't argue that ICE isn't a fascist militia. All you need to do is to look at the totally accurate comparison with the Diary of Anne Frank.
