Angry, have you heard ANY rumors about what may have transpired this weekend? I think we can all agree that while we don’t know if it WAS health related, we DO know that for a man who lives & breathes his life in front of cameras/media, to be absent for almost a week is…ODD? Anyone in DC think odd?

So…Trump not seen yesterday, not seen today and no events listed all holiday weekend on his public schedule that was just released. Setting aside the fact that the media should BE DOING ITS F’ING JOB and ask questions, what is the rumor mill saying about what’s REALLY going on with his health?

He looked like hell today in the Oval Office with his stupid hat on. A coworker, who is a casual observer of news, saw it on my screen and said “wow, what is wrong with him he looks terrible…” I check for breaking news several times during the night and first thing when I get up…

We always say we’re going to have elections in 2026 but I feel like LA and now DC are laying the groundwork for something else. Plus he’s putting together some sort of military response unit ostensibly to quell riots but I feel like it’s to stop dissent. No on in Congress will stop him. Thoughts?

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Where do we start a petition for the next President to tear this down? I’m serious. We the people don’t want this, we want it gone and the White House restored to its form glory. Remove the faux gold in the Oval, put the rose garden back to the way it was & tear down this tacky wannabe Versailles.

Most of us missed the details. They said that no lower court can stop or file an injunction against ANY order from the president. Only the people involved can bring action but a judge can’t halt it nationwide. Those involved can halt their own case but the law/order maintains for everyone else.

Please tell me the story floating around that Trump will use a tactical nuke on Fordo instead of a MOAB is not true? If he did, would the military actually agree to do it? How would the world react to the first use of a nuke on the battlefield since THE LAST TIME WE DID IT? SMFH!!??!

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Do you believe there is an inflection point, a road too far, a moment in time, an inkling of a spine, that will spur the R’s to speak up and speak out against dear leader, or are we all just screwed and that the legislative branch is lost?

I always see these rulings that the Trump admin must do or else face the consequences, etc. What consequences? What happens when they just say “yeah, no, we’re not doing that”. There is no guardrail left after ignoring a court ruling. What happens? They’ll just keep doing shit?
