Thank you Nadler for relinquishing your Senate seat realizing how much the Senate (and House) need young blood, energy, and thinking. You did a great job, but there is a time and age all politicians need to give it up for their Party. No one is indispensable though a lot seem to think they are.
Trump and everyone should be concerned. Russia, China, India, North Korea, etc. All these countries have nuclear powers and Trump has turned them into a coalition against the U.S. as Trump plays with their tariffs and economies and they are tired of Trump's screwing around with their countries.
But isn't nice when Trumpi77uh goes dark? Gives us some breathing room....slowly inhale, exhale. Such a nice change from being bombarded everyday with a new corrupt scheme once or twice each day. One can't even keep up with his awfulness.
Labels like evil, psychopath, criminal, sex deviate, mob boss, sociopath... get people's attention. Labels like Authoritarian, Fascist, demagogue, don't register in people's conscience mind because it really isn't hitting them yet. Losing healthcare, paying higher prices, job losses register.
Just a thought but can't help questioning if Trump is playing up this health thing people are focused on to pull attention away from the Epstein Files thing? Not being seen or quoted every 5 minutes causes questions like what is wrong and Trump knows how to play up things and make people wonder.
It seems to me that most politicians aren't asking to be elected to represent their Districts. It appears what matters is the massive benefits they get being a politician. They don't fight for their constituents, but they sure do dirty work trying to keep the money rolling and staying in Congress.
Yes, now fascism is here, so what do we do? That is the burning question. How to rid ourselves of these criminals? Democrats have to come up with a hard fight back plan because Republicans are already working on cheating schemes to thwart Democrats at every turn, they have had so much practice
How can the U.S. Military honor a traitor to the Constitution? Ashli Babbitt wasn't on a heros mission, she was on a mission encouraged by a tyrannical President to destroy our laws and norms to certify a new Presidential winner. I think it is called a coup.
Of course world leaders have no respect for Trump. Why Americans do I can't imagine. He accomplished nothing positive. Lies about how great he is. Stopped his own development at the ID stage of his psyche, and is now deteriorating from there. Trump is a hateful mess. And the press eggs him on.
I am afraid it is Steven Miller making a lot of our Country's governing decisions right now. Not sure Trump has enough mental capacity left to do his own scheming.
It has been 8 months since Trump took over as President again. Lordy, look what he has ripped apart in 8 mo's. Think of what damage will be brought down on us in 16 months or 40 more months. If our Government can't figure out how to contain Trump, then there will be no American country to save.
Without a hard fight Democrats will never get the Presidency again. Republicans have cheated in elections for decades, purging polls, reducing voting stations, scaring voters with arrest, lying robo calls, lying political ads, and a dozen other methods; but, nothing as blatant as this redistricting.
If Americans can't see how deeply sick Trump's need for constant attention is to the point of threatening National Media Companies because they don't praise him enough, especially since all he does is harm, lie, cheat, and destroy. This man's brain is so contorted towards corruption it is scary.
Every community should post large bill boards describing how Trump's corrupt administration is hurting their community. MAGA might only listen to far Right media, but you can't miss bill boards along major streets telling the only truth MAGA will ever read.
Trump is now the leader of nothing more than a criminal retaliation hit mob. There is not one thing Presidential. The Immunity Law is for a legitimate President not an illegal operation to destroy all. Trump should be removed from the Presidency for his Constitutional Oath perjured intentions.
After that nauseating Cabinet Meeting where they all praised Trump and the school shooting in Minnesota, one wants to escape far away asking why is this happening to America? We were told this is the greatest country on Earth..and yet it is being destroyed from within almost without resistance.
I think it would be such karma if after illegally gerrymandering areas into Republican strong districts, that the Republican voters in those districts could see the damage being done daily against them under this Administration and voted blue.
Immunity or no immunity, what Trump is carrying out is a political war against the United States. The Constitution should be the law standard bearer and not some extreme ideology the Supreme Court cooked up, led by Roberts, protecting criminals against Americans.
Both Putin and Netanyahu are waging war on babies, children, mothers, and the aged. They aren't just striking troops or Government facilities , aiming directly at sites where non-troops camp, hospitals, schools, nurseries. These are genocide wars America should stand against.
So now we have it...Trump Jung Un.
I am worried Americans are not taking what Trump is doing to America as deadly serious. We are quickly headed to a North Korean "style" Government. Military everywhere. Rights and benefits canceled. Due process not to be found in the Courts. Pilfering of our taxes with illegal money schemes.
This Blue State take over by the National Guard looks like the preparations for a Trump 2026 coup or insurrection. I hope all this military build-up isn't a prelude to keeping voters from ballot boxes with massive deportations, purges, incarcerations, or Voter Day intimidation. Trump plays dirty.
I would bet Trump is on a blood thinner for something like A-Fib, or some other heart malady. It is surprising because I really didn't think he had a heart. Then again, maybe it is where Stephen Miller, the night creature, sucked the blood from Trump's body.
"Sloppy Chris Christie"? No one wears a suit worse than Donald Trump in his baggy wrinkled blue suit. Does he sleep in it? Never changes. I keep hoping that gargantuan red tie will choke him and shut him up.
Honestly, is Trump such a moron, or so mentally damaged, he thinks acting like a complete horse's rear-end makes people respect him or America? Mostly the rest of the World pity us for letting this A-hole take away our way our culture, our freedom, our pride. They think Trump is totally bonkers.
There is something wrong psychologically with these guys who are ICE Agents. Who wants their job described as jerks who destroy families, scare children, scream and threaten, and are so weak they cover their faces. I don't care the pay, you have to be shy a few bricks to want to do that everyday.
What Trump and his gang of rotten criminals are doing is in no way close to Presidential and shouldn't be covered by any sort of ridiculous immunity bestowed by the sorry unfit Supreme Court. Trump and his hoodlum misfits should be arrested for being full blown traitors against the US Constitution.
Otherwise known as "Grimm's Fairytales" The questions and answers couldn't have been set up more perfect for both Maxwell's retrial or pardon; or Trump's tarnished image polished for MAGA diehard.
Everytime Donald tells stories the numbers increase of what he has accomplished. Trump hasn't settled any wars but now we are up to 10 he claims to have settled. It would be interesting to know what goes through his mind as he tells lie after lie. Habitual lying is a sickness.
Glad the EU Leaders came as security protection for Volensky. Facing the World's biggest criminal cheats (Putin in Trump's brain), whose words are nothing but crap. Even JD Vance kept his mouth shut with the European leaders there. Hope Europe will fill in the void from the two faced Trump.
This will be one big white wash. There won't be even a hint that Trump knew and was a best pal with Epstein for 15 years. 15 years is a very long time. Republicans are so brazen now they do all their corrupt and dirty assaults right out in the open, like it is something to brag about.
The criminals are taking over. The inmates are running the asylum. We are losing. It is sort of like Ukraine and Russia where Russia bombs the holy hell out of Ukraine but Ukraine doesn't bomb Russia at all in the same manner. Trump and the Republicans are Russia and the Democrats are Ukraine.
I just read Trump wants 100 new gerrymandered Republican Reps in the House. He is stripping the Voter's Rights to shreds, and Republican's are again purging thousands of Democrats from the voter rolls. Trump is aggressively destroying Democrats and all that is America. How much more can we take?
How utterly ridiculous. Coming all apart at the removal of a barreI from the logo. I mean even the concept of "woke" is so juvenile and over used. Everything to MAGA is a paranoid "chicken little" humongous scare. Wish Trump and Co. would do something useful like go search for Jimmy Hoffa.
Time to reconstruct the Supreme Court and U.S. Presidency. Neither function as Constitutionally intended. The Supreme Court is dominated by rogue jurists who don't abide by set law, just ideology. The Presidency is a cheat-a-thon to see how votes can be purged, manipulated, and gerrymandered.
I hope if the Democrats get the majorities in 2026/2028 they create some super strong qualification laws that Presidents have to meet to be President. Letting Trump with his evil and severely damaged psyche be President is wrong, look at the humongous harm this nutcase has forced up on America.
And Trump probably congratulated Putin on a fine bomb strike.
Between the Parties, most election fraud cases are perpetrated by Republicans, also most criminal sex predators are Republicans. Republicans cheat at everything. But, no one on Earth is as dishonest and criminal bent as Donald Trump pretending he is innocent and trying to eliminate those problems.
I don't believe Trump has solved and ended any wars. Most of these "so called wars" are two sides coming to their own understandings over scrimmages that have been going on for years . Trump thinks because he mentioned they should not fight that he caused them to negotiate. Not even close.
It is so hard to believe this is the America I grew up in. It is like watching a dear friend dying from cancer as it metastasis every day. Hoping some great physician will show up to save the patient. The frustration and despair are over powering on some days. Trump is a killer of all good things
It is unbelievable a developed country, the U.S.A., has so many people who just swallow Trump's BS hook line and sinker. It takes enormous effort to hide from Trump's criminally corrupted character. Especially now. America has a problem with folks chosing to live in Trump's Dark and Dirty Age.
Netanyahu is a war criminal and Trump is just an outright domestic criminal. No war heros to be seen here.
Trump's Presidency has turned from a circus to a real sh**t show. There is nary a sign of a true Presidency going on in America today. John Roberts should be run out of town for his giving Trump immunity knowing Trump's corrupt personality and background.
Maybe if Trump wants to get to heaven he should stop spreading hell all over the earth. My suggestion for a heaven hope start would to get rid of Stephen Miller, he is the Devil incarnate. Next ged rid of Bannon, he is Judas. Stop consorting with greedy money changers. Lots of work to do Donnie.
It was great to see the Europe coalition of Leaders stand with Zelensky. Outnumbered, of course Trump got nice. He beats up on those he feels are weaker. Since Zelensky brought his friends Trump was fearful to use his bully personality. I still don't trust Trump to keep his word for a minute.
Isn't that kidnapping? She is in a hostage situation. Talk about crime and criminals, it would be hard to out criminalize the Republican Party of today.
Shouldn't Gavin's stopping that "Twitter thing" go for the President, he has a big job. Republicans think when they do something obnoxious it is fine but when Democrats do the exact same things they are making "fools" of themselves. Just like redistricting, good for Texas, shameful for California.
It would be nice to have a President that knows what is going on in the world. But Trump doesn't care because he makes up his own reality and the executes his dictum on that fantasy. It is called mental illness.
Trouble being, what Trump says today doesn't hold water tomorrow
The fact that the EU Leaders insisted on escorting Zelensky in today's meeting with Donald Trump tells you what bullies Trump and Vance are. Trump kisses the war criminal Putin's ass; but treats Zelensky like crap because he needs our help and fighting from a defensive position.
Every city Trump sends troops to enforce his delusional crime scenario will turn the non-voters, Republican voters, and Independent voters into "Not Trump Voters". No Executive Maintenance Training here, no thought of consequences. Immediate retaliation on everything disagreeable in the moment.
Yes, Trump will withdraw from NATO to spite Europe and Zelensky won't wear a suit to meet with Donald. Zelensky wears his fatigue gear to support his troops. Yet here is Donald everyday in the same baggy light blue suit with his mile long red tie. Really, Trump is rich can't he buy another suit.
That would be Zelensky...ooops
That would be a habitual psychopathic liar !!
I hope when the European enclave of leaders escorts the Ukrainian President Volinsky to the White House that America shows up outside to support our European allies. Trump supported his buddy Putin with all kinds of pomp and it was disgusting seeing Putin eat it up on American soil.
Probably one of his co-workers in the Epstein days of pedophilia.
Democrats eat their own. Why isn't Jeffries putting all kinds of effort fighting Republicans cheating instead of Mamdani? Every Republican in California is fighting Newsom's redistricting plan, yet in Texas the Republicans are aggressively fighting Dem support efforts by Beto through the Courts.
What I don't understand Russia has massive amounts of land, why does it want more? Sure, Ukraine use to be Russia, but California Texas, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico use to be Mexico, they aren't invading us in a land grab. And why is none of this war being fought in Russia? It might change minds.
You could see the absolute glee on Putin's face during the entire public part of this summit. Putin was licking his chops. Putin knows, like most of us, that Donald isn't overly bright. He may be cunning and mean but only from a safe perch. Never one on one, and never ever with Putin.
I hope Beto runs again, altho he may be more successful like a Vice President to Newsom or Pritzker, or a Cabinet member. Come on Texas, help this man fight and straighten out the mess we are living through now. Beto is good solid stuff, what we need in the National Democrat fight for America.
You know the Republicans are strategizing long, illegal, and hard already, not just to win but keeping the Democrats from winning. Dems better get their best and brightest working to counter all kinds of cheating from the Republicans.
When McConnell was Senate Leader you would see him on news saying some infuriating thing 3 times a week. I never see Schumer. Jeffries gives good speeches, but not exciting, the kind Obama used saying " I'm all fired up", "are you ready", "yes we can", "fire in the belly" people believed him.
Exactly, everything Trump and Bondi due screams that Trump has done something so terrible he absolutely can't release it. BTW, is anyone sure Bondi ever got an education in law because she sure acts like she has no idea what an AG is and just illegally makes it all up as she goes along
When the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia came to New York he wore a head scarf that looked like a table cloth and robes that looked like sheets and no one said a single comment about appropriate suit dressing. World affairs aren't about wearing a suit. Obama wore a tan suit and MAGA whined.
Trump and Putin, shaking hands you know something evil is going to happen. Putin, an International War criminal has stolen over 24,000 Ukraine children; and Lord who knows how many children Trump may have harmed. Poor Ukraine, the people so brave and having 2 criminals dividing up their homeland.
What Trump got was taken for a ride.
Putin played Trump like a fiddle. Trump just seems to melt around Putin. Kind of gets weak in the knees. Goes all gaga if Putin says something nice about him. Someone explain to Trump that Alaska is a state, part of our country, The United States.
Why would Trump invite Putin to a U.S. Military Base? And not a neutral foreign country? Not a good feeling about this "summit". Trump doesn't have the skills to dodge the set-ups Putin knows. It maybe a case of the "Spider and the Fly". I may be wrong, but doubtful of anything but capitulation.
Watching this summit I think Trump is trying to cover up his Epstein relationship by meeting with another person of immoral character. If Donald comes away with little on Ukraine he will have doubled his failure to come through campaign promises on the Epstein Files and end the Ukraine war.
ICE is arresting sandwich throwers? Those tough, masked, covered with tactical gear guys? I have seen toddlers throw things when angry, but didn't, know sandwich throwing was a crime. ICE operates like their leader, mob wannabe Trump, more crimes on their side than on those apprehended.
"Give me a Nobel Peace Prize or I am coming after you". Sounds like blackmail to me, but that is the only way Trump would ever get a Peace Prize. Trump is running a "protections racket" with his threatening of tariffs. Where is Trump's shame at having to beg and threaten to get a Peace Prize
Oh, those are ICE, I thought they were militia terrorists. Or, maybe a pre-Halloween costume parade. Hope they sweat mightily under all that paraphernalia. They look ridiculous.
There's ICE and Border Patrol, dressed up in their tactical gear, showing up for Governor Newsom's speech. Don't know why they are there, but with faces covered, guns strapped on, the testosterone was shooting sky high from their feet up through their tattered brains, in all their finery.
What Trump means by "going to Congress" is telling Mike Johnson what he wants and Johnson will make sure all Republican Congressional lemmings follow what Trump orders. There is no real Congress these days . For practical purposes, as long as both Houses are Republican, it is totally Trump's show.
Trump calls in the military to police L.A. and D.C. and they police a few blocks. L.A. has a circumference of over 500 miles. I am sure Wash.D.C. is also fairly sizable. What are the results on crime suppose to be? the 3 or 4 block strategy is doing nothing about criminals in the entire city.
I think calling what Trump does Authoritarian sounds like a legitimate Presidential leadership quality . I think what Trump is doing should sound more descriptive of the actual acts. Like Criminalism, Thuggism, Gangsterism (I don't think these are real words but...), even Fascism is over used.
Depends on how long Donald Trump gets to remain President. He has done so much damage in 7 months, yet no one can stop him. The question is why?
Isn't Trump allowing a war criminal, Putin, into the United States? He already did that with Netanyahu.
If Putin wants parts of Ukraine Trump will help him get them. I mean Trump, with his pea sized brain, still thinks Ukraine caused this aggression by Putin. How completely without an ounce of intelligence do you have to be to believe that? A total moron? Ukraine is being blown to bits not Russia.
Love these replies Gavin is sending for Trump. Feels so great to have someone fight fire with fire on the Democrat side instead of "they go low we go high" approach.
Trump is maniacal about anyone or anything that disagrees with his thinking or suggest anything in opposition, and those who disagree get taken down and taken out one way or another. Trump's entire life is consumed with ruining even casual opposers. That should fit the 25th Amendment solution.
Trump will probably give Maxwell a job in his Administration.
Finally, it is so nice to find a Democrat who knows how to fight back. Keep it up Newsom, you are doing great !! And thank you !!
Well, it would be my assumption that this latest revelation that Ghislaine Maxwell now can leave prison on work release puts the final stamp on "yes, Trump is in the Epstein files as a practitioner of reoccurring child pedophilia".
Who knows, maybe Trump would give Alaska to Putin, thus the confusion in Trump's jumbled-up mind. Trump gets very confused over what he is taking from the rest of the World and what he is giving Putin.
Failures in the "Check and Balance" form of Government is when 2 of the 3 units ditch their obligation. The Republican Congress may as well disband, serving only as a Trump echo chamber. The Supreme Court is little more than Fox News lite now...no laws interfer with their pro Trump decisions.
Trump of the GOP (Gang Of Pedophiles ??) is announcing grand military protection schemes, about vivious crime no one else sees, for Blue States and Blue Governors some who are considered 2028 presidential primary candidates - there's a connection, he is starting his re-election smear campaign.
The DC crime rate goes down immensely every time Donald Trump leaves the White House (Washington, D.C.).
Trump is Russian through and through. Putin is to Trump what Trump is to MAGA. Hard to believe Trump use to be the laughing stock of New York City back when..... even Epstein thought Trump was shy a brain cell or two....they say Bannon knows the history.
Time for Trump to go the way of Bashar al-Assad and take up residency in Russia and give America back to the people.
Trump says he will fight crime and criminals everywhere he has to.....sounds rather strange coming from America's most famous mob type criminal.
Trump doesn't care if crime is down in Washington D.C. This isn't about crime. This is about getting a strangle hold on major U.S. cities to control the 2026 elections.
Crime in the United States is at an all time low. Trump is full of sh*t, as always. Makes up problems so he can carry out some illegal scheme. I don't know if Vance is Trump's "et tu Brutus", but even Vance, a jerk, but still isn't as deplorably crazy as Trump and his greed of power and money.
How much land would Trump give Putin of the United States? I will tell you, no one is going to give away any of their country to an aggressive war criminal, or anyone else, including Zelensky.
The 6 Right majority on the Supreme Court aren't good lawyers any longer. They are so politically bent they change the law, not follow it, to help an "out of control" President who breaks the law with abandon. Without the Immunity and Citizens United decisions, things would be more on legal track.
Listening to news and commentary, which I do too much, it certainly looks as if the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse are at our doorstep of world concerns: war, famine, pestilence (illness) and death brought to us by Trump against the U.S./World, Putin against Ukraine, and Netanyahu against Gaza.
A little info here, a little info there. Call Wolff before a Congressional Crommittee and find out what he knows. This dribbling out information is maddening, should be illegal not telling what he knows. He is acting unpatriotic and being a real jerk.
No matter how much Trump lies and cheats, the facts are the reality. Trump can say 500,000 million jobs were created in July, but if there were only 17 jobs created that is the fact. If the media would report only facts Trump would have a harder time making people believe his made-up garbage.
Trump's Cabinet is full of people with deep mental issues. Kennedy and Noem have harmed animals, Bondi a perjurer, Gabbard can't decide who to be an Agent for, Hegseth and Pirro are too close to alcohol. All completely unqualified. Yet the most messed up is the withered orange TACO, Donald Trump.
What a great picture. That duck knows to trust that human. And that says so much.
