Also said he would lower energy prices by half within a year. 5 months left and thus far, prices have mostly gone up.

My Dad suffered this for several years. Though he was always mentally sharp, right to the day of his death, he became a semi invalid with very little ability to do much physically.
My father had both congestive heart failure and venous problems in his legs. In his later years, he had multiple instances of hospitalization for 3-4 days on IV diuretics to have widespread edema “drained”. This might be what Trump is undergoing, but entirely within the White House.
The body remains very much alive in people who have suffered brain death
Funeral? She died 4 1/2 years ago. They haven’t had a funeral yet? Where is her body being kept, in a chest freezer in the basement? Is her body being exhumed just to be buried again?
Unfortunately, it could be quite simple based on SCOTUS view of power of POTUS. If viewed as a core element of foreign relations & diplomacy, restriction on POTUS ability to use & impose tariffs might be ruled unconstitutional.Law would need to be passed (Trump would veto) to simply prohibit tariffs
Supr Ct is fully within its POWER to declare that the tariffs are illegal & must be ended for future w/o need for retroactive action Not logical but still fully within their power Lower courts made ruling based on law & precedent. If USSC overturns ruling, they will, again, just be making new law
Send her to CECOT in El Salvador. Once there, even if by mistake, oops, irreversible.
She was charged, not convicted. The perjury case just went into limbo after she was convicted on the much more serious sex abuse charges.
If the deal does NOT list the protected by name, it really was to protect Epstein, not the unnamed people. It prevents the Govt from threatening prosecution of the others as a means to get more testimony against Epstein for things NOT in the main agreement. Epstein no longer needs that protection
Prayer has worked to do what? Reduce America’s world leading rate of mass shooting of kids to be leading the world by somewhat less?
Will this be a funeral without a body? They kept her body in storage for 4 1/2 years just so she could try to get a funeral with military honors? Or are they going to exhume her body?
I don’t dispute Joe’s interpretation but I don’t think Trump is going to be able to physically function as POTUS (or any other significant task) 12 months from now. It looks like he is on IV diuretics (bruise on back oh hands) that are not working well enough to keep ankles & feet from swelling.
In another tradition aligned with criminals, ICE is breaking the law (e.g., warrants for search, seizure, AKA arrests issued by real Federal judges.)
Great idea. Create places where lines of many people must form to cluster targets in one spot. How about Trump mobilizing National Guard to guard every door of every school and college, public & private across America. Trump has the power, when does he do it?
If there was no video, the Grand Jurors most likely would’ve heard only from the officer in question or another Govt official “summarizing” what happened For Grand Jurors, ask if videos exist & insist on seeing ANY & ALL the Govt has. If Govt refuses to produce ALL videos, refuse to indict
And do not mention nullification as a motive, at all. Just assert there was not enough evidence that was credible.
Constitution has no requirement about the form/format of pardons & commutations, never mind being written. Contrast to requirement that POTUS SIGNS bills into law So, overwhelming presumption pardons are valid unless there is clear & convincing evidence that pardon WAS CONTRARY to Biden’s intent
Now that it doesn’t matter which country starts the fighting,Taiwan needs to negotiate a takeover by China right now! How could Taiwan possibly entertain going to war with a country with enormously larger area and population?
Many decades of docs & scientists looking at the cause, especially relation to vaccines, w/ no causation found but they solved it in just 9 months? This will be one the biggest piles of bulls**t in medical & scientific history Embraced 100% by Trump & MAGA, laughed at & ridiculed by everyone else
Unless Federalized by the President, National Guard present outside their own state (except where invited by the other state’s governor) is likely illegal in all sorts of ways. When Federalized by callup by the President, Posse Comitatus prohibition on performing law enforcement duties applies.
If DOJ continues to go back to new grand juries after “no bills”, and with DOJ having forfeited all presumption of normality in their prosecutorial discretion, will judges allow defendants to enter into evidence the number of no bills delivered before DOJ finally got an indictment?
States will need to activate their state National Guard under the Governor’s authority with a big publicity campaign that the state Guard (say wearing an identifiable vest) will have mission to repel and even arrest DHS, ICE, and Federalized Guard causing intimidation near polling places
Now that “regularity” by US DOJ is a total dead letter, maybe trial judges will rule that the number of no bills that preceded a Grand Jury indictment needs to be made admissible as a fact if a trial takes place. Goes to motive and credibility of the Govt’s case.
Also, does Bergum have any idea that the wind farm owners would probably be eager to let the Navy outfit the underwater support structures with sensors to detect underwater noise with systems that can easily null out the low frequency vibrations caused by the rotating turbines.
Submerged drones, or any submersible for that matter can be detected by Radar? Does Bergum know that immunity to radar detection is one of the biggest virtues of submersibles? For Sonar, wind turbines cause low frequency sounds. Drones & torpedoes, much higher Where does Trump find this idiots?
How about a “flag” that reverses the top to bottom sequence of the stripes, maybe omits the two most rightward columns of stars (has 41, not 50). Has 4 or 6 point stars rather than 5 point Again, looks like and invokes the perception of a US flag being burned but is really not an official US flag.
Serious question. If the flag being burned is not the exact official version of the US Flag, does that count? Like one that does not have the bottom most stripe or is missing a row of stars. Basically something that invokes a MAGAt to perceive it as an official US flag but really isn’t one
Info that was actually leaked or compromised, THAT particular act has date of occurrence Continuing to have info in notes/documents that do not carry classification markings & which were stored with reasonable security will be a much tougher case for Feds, but will cause legal expense for Bolton
Likely to get past a Grand Jury. If 5 year statute of limitations has CLEARLY expired, judge will likey dismiss & entertain imposing sanctions on the Govt. In the alternative, you are likely correct the impact of Bolton’s legal fees could be huge.
Even with the current SCOTUS, I think the AutoPen regarding pardons is a dead issue. Constitution doesn’t state that pardons & commutations must be written If a case is brought that is covered by pardon, trial judge has first say if one is valid. If case tossed after jury is empaneled, final say
Planting evidence is the next barrier in the descent into fascism. Having enemies & suspects die by neglect or at the hands of other prisoners is next after that; next setting people up to be killed by others. Then finally, killing them directly (& likely disappearing the bodies so no direct proof).
Unless Bolton possesses documents NOW (strongest case is with classified markings, harder if just unmarked info deemed classified) any charges could be within Fed 5 year statute of limitations. Anything he even leaked while working for Trump, 5 year statute of limitations has lapsed.
Did Trump actually say that? If so Trump had transcended in to outright hallucination and delusion.
Trump seriously believes that across the entire population, things were better economically in the period before the income tax was implemented. A time when not a single reform or measure from FDR’s new deal was implemented. it was a fabulous time to be a robber barron, miserable for everyone else
I am announcing that I will refuse any offers to join the rosters of any MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL teams based in CA, so they can just avoid wasting their time approaching me.
Olympics are in 2028. So action 3 years in advance has eliminated any chance of things like Rodney King or George Floyd disturbances occurring between now & then. If violent clashes occur & Trump invokes the insurrection act in LA, I’m sure that will repel most Olympic attendees.
Trump could easily think like that. Any explanation that eliminates a possibility of his role in wrongdoing for any nefarious act becomes his reality. He is truly mentally defective
That is classic Trump think. For both LA and DC, he thinks sending in a beefed up contingent of DHS, National Guard, and military has completely SOLVED all the crime across the entire cities immediately & permanently. Truly, only a mentally defective idiot thinks like that. Truly.
The Olympics will be in 2028. So Trump causing confrontations (over ICE activities, not general crime) 3 years early on a few square blocks of LA probably nowhere near where most, maybe ANY, Olympic events will take place has saved the Olympics. Trump is seriously mentally defective.
Once again, Trump proves he is an idiot. All of the broadcast networks directly own only a small number of licensed stations. Their reach is via affiliates they do not own Their network operations & production of programming can be performed without actually owning/operating any licensed stations
In Vance’s case, it is knowing and cynical lying just to give Trump some cover for nothing changing in regard to Ukraine because some thin thread of performative and dilatory “negotiations” might still be going on.
Now there is NO CRIME in DC. Absolutely zero Only a deeply mentally defective person can believe/say that I remember Trump claimed he “fixed” the military in his 1st term. There was trivial change in # of mil personnel, & all new ships/major systems that came online were started years before
In every Ponzi scheme there are some early participants who genuinely did very well. The key is to have the subsequent, prospective participants look only at the success of the first waves and not suspect that they are being teed up to be fleeced
What the almighty F*** is Vance talking about? Militaries of Germany Japan were crushed when WW2 ended. Of course there was some “negotiation” of certain aspects of the terms of surrender to eliminate the need for the allies to kill off every last member of axis forces (which they could have done)
Jordan is pathetic. And it is pathetic that someone like Jordan has any influence in the US What’s know is Jordan turned a blind eye to blatant sex abuse right in front of him And he cheerleads for the veracity of an indicted perjurer motivated to say anything to get Trump to grant her a pardon
Either Nat Guard troops are Federalized & therefore subject to the prohibitions of Posse Comitatus or they are activated under Title 32 & answerable to the Governor DC is an exception, but if deployed to OTHER states under Title 32, the Guard can be subject to arrest under the OTHER state’s laws
Total, complete, abject failure by the world’s greatest deal maker. Can’t even get a temporary ceasefire. And, despite threats, hasn’t even tightened sanctions on Russia as multiple deadlines have passed. Nobel prize? How about the Neville Chamberlain medal.
Also someone charged with two separate counts of perjury by the same DOJ now headed by Bondi & Blanche
Putin has rebuffed Trump over & over in humiliating fashion This is OBVIOUS to everyone except Trump & his most rabid fans Yet Trump lives in the pathological delusion that Putin would’ve tucked tail & caved to Trump & not invaded Ukraine Putin eats Trump for lunch & views Trump as a menu item
Stopping the project is essentially a “taking” and under the Constitution’s eminent domain doctrine, the developers should have a right to fair compensation.
If state Nat Guard is activated by POTUS, they are in Federalized status, & for the purpose of the Posse Comitatus Act, they have legal status as Federal army & are prohibited from performing law enforcement duties This will get teed up ultimately for Supr Court to uphold/kill Posse Comitatus Act
Likely the developer can sue to get most, if not all of their money back. Various MAGAts & conservatives characterize any regulation or restriction on developing property as a “taking” that requires fair compensation for the value lost by preventing the proposed development.
He can also order Maxwell returned to her original prison. Trump adores exercising unilateral power. Why do you suppose he has not done so on these two matters?
He will try. But dates of elections for Fed offices are set in the Constitution & I don’t believe any Exec Order or declaration can change it Distinct possibility Blue states can just go ahead w/ their elections (maybe protected by state Nat Guard) & they will be only ones able to seat reps in Jan
Trump looks around for what he wants to do and if tthst is made possible by declaring a National Emergency of some sort, he declares an Emergency. Exact opposite of the purpose & intent of letting National Emergencies be declared
And powerfully motivated to please the only person with unconstrained power to save her from spending the next 17 years in prison
One hope, if it ever gets to a trial (probably won’t) the presumption of normality & good faith motivation by DOJ is stone cold dead. Judge should allow discovery of all communication from White House, Bondi, & higher up in DOJ w/ limited exception of things that are privileged trial tactics
From the US Constitution, one of the two criteria for having comitted treason: adhering to their (the United States) enemies, giving them aid and comfort How does Trump’s actions toward Putin fail to closely fit the Constitution’s definition of treason?
Now you have done it George. You are in jeopardy of being charged for revealing secret, critical information that will be used to negate the wall’s effectiveness,
With just a phonecall or Email Trump, Bondi, or Blanche could send her back to a more secure prison, literally tomorrow. Why not? Is there some mysterious deep state person who ordered her transferred that Trump, Biondi, and Blanche are powerless to override?
And to a deeply evil and perverted rapist of underage women, exactly what are the bounds of appropriate behavior? She directly facilitated Epstein’s statutory rape of girls for DECADES. That says much more than words about her take on the bounds of appropriate behavior.
It is our take because their is a 99% chance it is exactly correct the only way she can avoid the next 17 years in prison is for Donald Trump to give her a pardon or commutation. Duhhhhh! And Trump has already delivered on part of the deal, transfer to a much cushier prison. Double Duhhhh!
Trump inspires a new saying: It takes two weeks to TACO.
Very close to the Putin hybrid oligarchy/kleptocracy Private, 3rd party entities can make money, maybe huge $, as long as the Govt gets a big cut When oligarchs displease the dear leader, bad things for the company & the oligarch occur Bolton raid exemplifies the type of bad thing that can happen
What is Maxwell’s standard for being “inappropriate”. She is on a fairly exclusive list of people who regard statutory rape to be “appropriate” as long as no violent physical force is applied. She was Epstein’s key procurer on that exact thing for decades.
One of the clearest, blatant, obvious lies Trump has ever told. REMOTE chance Trump, personally had no criminal role but hoards of others did. Hoax overall? Beyond any conceivable doubt, there was massive abuse, exploitation, & criminality by Epstein & clients that has never been fully exposed.
Now watch for the Supreme Court to intervene to suspend the judge’s ruling during the full appeals progression because somehow it is the Federal Govt that will suffer irreparable harm, rather than the citizens who will pay exorbitantly higher premiums or lose health care altogether.
A more generalized observation. Trial & Appeals Court judges must follow precedent & case law. There may be some leaning left or right, depending on the judge, but rarely major departure from precedent (exc in 5th Cir) Supr Court reversing so many lower court rulings is REVISING not upholding law
Guess what happens to our forces in a follow on military operation when a battle damage assessment about enemy defenses being degraded gets politicized to “show” the prior attack was much more of a brilliant success than reality.
DIA & the intelligence offices of the individual services focus more on actionable intelligence related to capabilities of enemy militaries, how they threaten US forces, & effectiveness of actions by US military Politicizing DIA to get unrealistic info that Trump approves of, will get people killed
Watch. They will not find documents with any classified markings (unless planted). They will be scrutinizing every document seized & stretching interpretations to the limit that things without classified markings contain national security info they will claim SHOULD BE classified.
I worked for FBI in a professional support billet decades ago. In those days, absolutely zero chance anyone arrested for simple trespass at the Capitol on Jan 6 would be considered for hiring into a low level support function, never mind an agent.
Also all non-agent support employees (even blue collar custodial & maintenance trade employees) had to qualify for SECRET level security clearances. Watch Patel massively downgrade the things that normally get you disqualified.
They will hate it and react when the lower caste “agents” start getting promoted for fealty to Trump/Patel vs competence & accomplishment
And if the US Government becomes Intel’s “partner” there is an astounding conflict of interest for Fed Govt to intervene against them for antitrust, honest corporate governance, labor relations, environmental constraints of their manufacturing plants, etc.
And Trump & MAGAts push for lower corporate taxes (that are defined by law & regulation) but are fine with the Federal Govt just strong arming businesses to surrender 10%of their capital value because POTUS declares such This is Putin oligarchy in action. What makes them think it will stop at 10%?
Hasn’t been implemented yet, but once Patel starts staffing new “agents”without college degrees and only abbreviated indoctrination, will we have confidence things don’t get planted?
Hitler was devoted to looking out for the interests of Germany (with the notable exception of several ethnic and religious groups)
More like delusion now fully exposed.
Two delusions: Trump actually believes this & thinks others believe it. We have seen Trump’s results on this topic. No traction whatsoever to end war in 24 days (never mind hours). Can’t even get a simple ceasefire (& no sanctions on Russia despite multiple threats). Putin has ZERO fear of Trump
It is mocking and trolling the blatant lack of authenticity and credibility by Trump. Newsom does not expect his supporters )and others who are not MAGA) to buy into the content, just enjoy it, sneer at Trump, and delight in the complaints by MAGAts, like J D Vance.
Maine should respond they will comply with a warrant or order from a real Federal judge once the US Supreme Court has acted in a way that upholds the order.
Just the kind of description and reviews from Fox’s premier propagandist that Trump detractors love to hear!
Hope the buyers remember that.
The electric utilities evidently did not get the word from Trump about lowering energy prices by half within a year. 4 months to go, better get with it!
Well, if they fall in value by 1,500%, will Trump have to make massive payments to the people who hold them?
Trump will also issue an Executive Order banning night and cloudy days along the Mexican border
rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers …. muggers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, train robbers, bank robbers, a** kickers, s***-kickers & Methodists. I omitted buggerers & conmen, they’re in Wh House
But no phone, no pool, no pets, and a total lack of cigarettes
Planned, designed, constructed, and outfitted with medical gear in about 210 days since 20 January 2025. They must buy special acme instant clinic pills from the Coyote. They don’t fool anybody but the brain dead MAGAts.
Many prominent GOPers saw their POTUS ambitions involuntarily go on hold for 12 years (about 9 have elapsed) because of Trump If Eric & Don Jr think GOPers will acquiesce to the Trump’s trying to become like N. Korea’s Kim family, they are deluded The boys will be savaged by their GOP opponents
Trump said he would cut energy prices by half within 12 months, 8 months gone, prices up Naturally he is going to lie to blame it on something other than himself He is probably excluding the many people w/ rooftop solar who have seen their BILLS drop massively even if the utility RATE has risen
How about ANY WRITTEN agreement that both parties can rely upon & abide by? Seems like the “agreements” might be more like verbal Rorschach tests that Trump can reinterpret as he pleases.
Ukraine was the geopolitical version of a cosmic black hole. Once Russian troops got close to Ukrainian borders, they were irresistibly drawn in and had no choice but to invade. Putin had no choice.
And, anyone with a brain and a modicum of insight knows that was Newsom’s exact intent, not the content of the boastful bluster.
It is pretty simple, any “peace deal” acceptable to Putin gives him 95% of what he wants. A simple ceasefire is much more balanced in providing benefit to Ukraine, even if temporary.
Something has to be astoundingly bad for Joyce to post something this snarky.
Law and order except for laws MAGAts don’t like. So, maybe Pirro can explain the magic sauce she uses to distinguish good guys carrying high fire rate semiautomatic weapons on downtown DC streets from people who will become criminal mass shooters within seconds.
Trump’s fearless response to an eagle (whose right leg is tethered to its perch)
