"If it were me, I'd sue them." Trump would sue a ham sandwich if it gave him gas, but just like that Subway sub case he would lose.

I'm a little concerned they are headed to China for the Shanghai SCO meetup. You just know the Trumps would want to get their golf courses and hotels in all those countries.
I remember when Putin was so paranoid about assassination attempts he would hide away, wouldn't shake hands, met with someone at opposite ends of a 12' table... (sigh) Good Times.
It's not only "far away" military. It's all military. When you enter the military you can keep your home state (you entered military service from) as the state you vote in unless you change it to where you are living. It provides continuity to the member on where they are most invested - home.
Kristen Welker cheated on her taxes for the last 10 years. There the rumor is started now show us all your taxes Welker.
Autism is rising because they've gotten better at diagnosing it. It was the same reason covid cases were rising in 2020. Kennedy is doing Trump's version of "stop testing and cases will go down".
I remember when Face The Nation would have stopped anyone from coming on that lied like this, not even exaggerations were acceptable. Now CBS encourages the liars and cans the truth tellers like Colbert. They should change the name to Disgrace The Nation.
Love this! I've had dozens of discussions online with MAGA and anti-vaxxers who think MRNA was just developed for covid in 2020 and there's no testing behind it. I thought MRNA vaccines were only being tested for about 20 years... not since the 60s. Happy to be wrong.
Proof that beavers are smarter than Republicans.
The problem with this is that Treason is a very explicit charge involving levying war against or aiding and abetting a country at war with the U.S. It's why the J-6ers were charged with sedition, not treason.
It's adorable these countries don't think Russia would ever go to their south (to these countries) in their ambitious expansionism.
Hey Gorka: How about we address the one thing Republicans have refused to be allowed to be addressed since the Assault Weapons Ban, that was working, was allowed to expire in 2004. It's the Guns, Stupid.
Q-Anon is based on the belief of a world-wide pedophile ring. Considering Trump's connection to a world-wide pedophile it is astounding this Q+ doesn't piss off all of those Q-Anon adherents. It's also astounding Trump would remind them all of his connection to pedophilia.
If it helps, Autumn doesn't begin until September 22. You still have 3 weeks.
Are we suppose to go back to prior mortgages and amend them if we have to move for our job and buy another home which then becomes the primary residence - maybe before selling the other one? I'm asking because it seems like that would be a common scenario.
All immigrants should be able to obtain citizenship as fast as Melania Trump did. There is no excuse for it to take decades.
Republicans did this. They own this as much as Trump does.
Funny, but Utah has all of that (except maybe the voter ID law, most register when they go to the DMV for their DL). Red states only have a problem when they are worried they could lose.
Just like Zelenskyy wasn't "playing cards" in Feb. when he met with Trump he's also not dancing the Tango. We all know Trump can't dance, which is why he probably can't recognize that Russia INVADED Ukraine. The idiot should stop using idioms, he always uses them inappropriately.
It's funny, but it appears some people are thinking this is a genuine Time cover. It's not.
I was hoping for a revival of The Colbert Report. I've been watching Stephen's shows for a little while...
Get in the miles long line to dance on his grave.
Well, you made me learn something - on a Saturday, lol. One of the side effects of Prednisone is: Physical changes: Redistribution of body fat to the face, neck, and abdomen (sometimes called "moon face" or "buffalo hump"), and thinning of the skin. Moon face describes what I see in this picture.
Trump's looking especially puffy in the face today. Maybe it's just the photo?
She's always got her job castrating pigs.
So we have a Decorator-in-Chief as opposed to a Commander-in-Chief. America is probably safer that way.
I heard someone on TV say "what if it was my children"? It couldn't have been my children. Assault weapons were banned when my kids were in school. I never even had the thought because mass shootings were not happening during the ban. You couldn't buy them, you couldn't get them.

This brings up something. Is ICE providing an education to immigrants that are enrolled in school? If you as a parent chose to not educate your child you could be charged with negligence. While this boy is 18, what of the younger ones?
Trump is such a weak ass crybaby. 'Oh no... she was mean to me during the election. She told everyone exactly what I was gong to do. I'm such the victim. Boo hoo hoo.'

Trump's Wharton degree is in Economics. Is there any doubt he cheated or paid someone for grades to get that degree?
Isn't it great how she puts her bigotry front and center for all to see? There's never any doubt - if you think she or this administration did something because they are bigots - they did.
It's because all the businesses bought stock to warehouse or use in their products ahead of the tariffs, and consumers were buying before the tariffs took effect. Trump threatened tariffs for months but TACOd out on most until the beginning of August. Q2 is April-June.
If you ever smoked that qualifies as pre-existing, no matter if you quit a long time ago. In fact, if you are a little overweight or over your recommended BMI. Sedentary lifestyle counts, as well. There are a number of conditions, did you ask them what all counts and whether you qualify under one?
Part of the (snide) prayer I sent my Reps this morning: "I pray you bring your Biblical wrath down upon all those enabling this by inflicting covid upon the bodies and the families of every person that voted to put the worst possible anti-science, anti-vaxxer in charge of the country's health."
Sounds like it was someone who doesn't know you. You shouldn't care at all about what someone who doesn't know you thinks.
When Biden won in 2020 I was one vote for him, just one vote. But I was one vote out of 81,283,501. One drop of water multiplied becomes a wave. One snowflake multiplied becomes a storm. You are not alone - you are one of many.
The Air Force devalued funeral honors by giving it to someone who committed sedition while trying to overthrow an election. I qualify for those honors. I will ensure my will is updated to keep the Air Force out of my final wishes. They've dirtied it, I no longer feel pride in my service.
Ever notice how many Republicans are arrested/convicted for child porn or solicitation of a minor? Ever notice how obsessed Republicans are with kids genitalia? Not that there is a causal relationship there to point out...
Is ammosexual the current term for small penis compensation, or tiny penis syndrome?
You saw that did you? I saw lots of Rightwing militia members committing crimes pretending to be Antifa - until they were arrested and convicted of those crimes. Masked Umbrella Man broke shop windows and tried to get protestors to loot them. Affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood and Hell's Angels
In my city there is a law I can only have up to 2 cats and 2 dogs. I can't be trusted to take care of more animals than that but I have unlimited access to any kind and any number of guns along with open carry. But at least my animals will be safe - since I'm not Kristi Noem.
He lies, yes. But Ds have been losing registered voters for the last decade. It used to be about 1/3 each Ds, Rs, and Is. Pew just wrote Ds 28%, Rs 31%, Is 41%. NYT shows shift from Ds to Rs between 2020 and 2025 in the 30 states that track reg. affiliation. I'm talking registration - not voting.
Has anyone analyzed what states Democrats are losing members? Living in UT, Ds and Ind. can't vote in R primaries. Only Rs get elected in UT (except a couple state seats). Many changed to R to be able to get moderate Cox as gov. instead of far RW. This may be a reason Ds are losing members.
For weeks all the shows/media just keep talking about crime in the cities. Rs thank you for the support. Everything they do is really bad, but jump on the Rs talking point bandwagon about crime because they are failing all else like economy and ICE. Ds have to respond only because the media does.
Appears to flip? That's a pretty passive description for a rout NYT. When did they become so meek when it comes to a decisive Dem win? Will they be so passive should a Republican flip a seat (It hasn't been happening since Trump's election, but eventually, maybe)? Sensing more Trump bowing here.
Well it certainly is revolting
Sure, but the question was about Cook not Donald Trump.
If Trump is making it so safe there why would she need to carry a gun? Is she admitting it's all a mirage, a deception for the easily manipulated? Having easy access to a gun makes you much more likely to be killed by that gun.
They did everything but get on their knees to fluff his nutter. It's hard to estimate the biggest waste of our taxpayer dollars gold gilding the White House or 3 hours of top paid gov. officials drooling.
And they've gone all in lately trying to get new customers to watch them. My Roku, Sling and Disney subscriptions all kept putting that channel right up first to turn on this past month.
They get vibes from the media they read & listen to. It's the media like Politico producing bad vibes without regard to or any pushback of real facts. Too bad they aren't writing more articles on how bad fascism will be, & the rights they are going to lose; maybe those vibes would start resonating.
What law will Trump magically pull out of his ass and apply prison sentencing to next? The flag is a trial balloon for his next steps. As a guess I think he will do something for his evangelical base like making it illegal to worship other religions after declaring the U.S. a Christian country.
Yes you did. You just heard what you wanted to hear.
We did try to tell them that "America First" meant "America Alone"
Pedophile Protectors. PedoPros
Salt Lake was split up before then. Jim Matheson was congressman in 2012 when SLC was divided in 4 equal parts 1/4th going to each district. He was redistricted D2 to D4. He retired in Jan 2015. Further gerrymandering after 2020 solidified North Salt Lake (D4) from D to R after Ben McAdams lost.
South Carolina is in the top 10 worst states for violent crime, drug crime, property crime in the country. They are also in the highest for vehicle deaths. Illinois is right at the national average. Yes Rep Norman the crime does speak for itself. Trump should be sending those troops to SC not IL.
MAGA projects with their cancel culture whining, claiming the Left does it. They boycotted the NFL, Bud Lite, Target, Nike, Costco, Dunkin Donuts, Costco, Disney, etc. ad nauseum. These hypocritical snowflakes are the champions of cancel culture.
So he's a bigot. You aren't born to hate Snoop - you learn to hate.
I doubt it is marginally safer now - it is much more empty. Hotels reported occupancy dropping 64.3% after Trump's takeover. Less tourists, mean less people out and about, mean less opportunity for crime.
We get nothing? We get cures, we get advancements, we get all the advantages the world's most brilliant minds can come up with. You can't patent a nothing - what a sniveling idiot Lutnick is.
Someday they are going to find the bodies buried in Miller's basement; and this will come back to haunt him.
So, when Trump seizes 10% of the stock of a company, do the current investors lose a bit of their stock/investment to divvy up that 10% or do they just "create" 10% more stock? I'm not sure how that works.
I don't know much about how shares in a company actually works. Does Trump taking 10% of a company's stock take away stock from someone else or is it more like a we'll just "print" more stocks thing?
My word of the year is: confabulation. I just learned this word and I really believe this describes Trump's sociopathy & dementia. Confabulation: the unintentional creation and articulation of false or inaccurate memories with the sincere belief that they are true, often to fill memory gaps.
Speaking as a Boomer Maron just explained why I stopped watching Maher when Biden was president. It's not a generational thing - it's a Maher thing. The one thing I would add is the cruelty Maher started using; not funny - just cruel.
Trump is trying to nationalize (socialism) our news. Affiliates (local stations) pay licensing fees to the networks in exchange for content. The networks pay content creators from those fees. ABC, NBC as well as FOX and CBS networks operate this way. The FCC gets their fees from the affiliates.
Oh look - another extortion shakedown that the mainstream media won't call it out for the corruption it is.
Now we know why Jordan went to law school but chickened out on taking the bar exam... because he would've sucked as a lawyer.
Hey AG you were given 60 days, that's plenty of time to put through an appeal. To announce ahead of time you will go all anarchist instead of following a court order, may not help your appeal (dumbass).
Is anyone here upset about the Iowa State Democratic Party not getting the word out? It's their responsibility. The Dem. National Committee does not micromanage every aspect and every election. They provide guidance on elections. DSC, DCCC, DGA, DAGA, and each state Dems all have their jobs to do.
I had to ❤️ this mostly because of the "memory of a bowl of jello" remark. Facts are good but that simile was perfect.
Time for pollsters to ask favorability of the U.S. military and watch trendlines. There's nothing like a military takeover to destroy their reputation.
As the 3-ring circus that's now our 3 branches of government spin, juggle, and entertain; U.S. enemies aren't just sitting around laughing at our dysfunction; they are propagandizing, recruiting, and infiltrating because the agencies responsible for identifying the threat are too busy LARPing.
Hey Watters: You're suppose to be talking about Bolton, not Trump!
Not even just Libertarians. Republicans did a massive freakout over Obama's ACA when introduced because of the government takeover of the healthcare industry. They should not be called Republicans ever again. That party has no similarity to what it was established as or ran as for nearly 2 centuries
Who's going to tell him FIFA banned Russia from participating in the 2026 World Cup? If Putin comes he has nobody to cheer for.
I try to suss them out before deciding if they are uninformed, ignorant, or a Rightwing troll before I consider muting or blocking. I hit on troll when he insisted the woman witness was wrong and not the police while admitting he didn't have access to their body cameras to prove it.
Since you refuse to justify this excessive use of force by wannabe WWE cosplayers hired by Trump's admin as vigilantes getting their $$$ bonuses; then this conversation is done. It's clear you are defending police brutality, defending a police state and I'm not going to give you any more space.
Just checked - only if the state requires you to identify yourself - then you would be breaking a state law - but only if you are suspected of having committed a crime. They wore the uniforms of federal employees, he was 'public eating'. Why do you excuse excessive force used against people?
You are not required to tell the police any of that. And no, it's not in the video about why he was arrested - it was written by the person who posted this. All of those unidentified officers to arrest 1 man eating in the park. This is a prime example of excessive force. You want to defend that?
It said he was arrested for refusing to show ID. No law for that. I brought up immigrants because they are required to carry immigration ID, so that would be the only justification. I said it "appeared" to be unlawful and I hope he gets a lawyer. Go defend police violence on your own post.
She lied repeatedly during that interview evidenced through trials and sworn statements. Don't go off on an unproven tangent coming from that prolific liar desperate to exonerate the only guy in the world that can get her out of prison and is looking to change the subject. You will lose credibility.
There is no law, no requirement in the United States for a citizen to carry ID on you. They had no way of knowing if he was an immigrant to demand to see any immigration documents. This appears to be an illegal arrest. I hope a lawyer steps up to help him sue the crap out of them.
Or ladders, oh and don't forget the tunnels underneath.
The library has movies and TV series? I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I read The Institute, loved it, and the TV series based on the book (being advertised in his post) was put on paid subscription MGM+. I'd be happy if the series was now reran on another platform.
Bongino's name on court documents for the search warrant according to early report. He was supposedly about to be fired with another Deputy already in place. Now he goes after Trump's big nemesis. Lawfare to save his job?
I hope it's not another book I loved being made into a movie/series and only available on yet another subscription required service. Put it at a theater and I'll go, put it on a network and I'll watch, but I've got enough monthly payments going out for my home entertainment.
Rumors say Bongino is on his way out and 2nd Deputy put in place. Days later Bongino's name is all over the court documents for this search warrant on one of Trump's biggest enemies, someone Trump went after first thing in office when he took Bolton's security detail away. Coincidence?

Too bad they couldn't have gotten around to doing it over the last several years of knowing the problem existed, knowing they could have done something, and yet refused to fund the needed projects.
Just curious: do they record outside Bolton's house every day or were they tipped off? If tipped off, I'm very curious about who in the FBI might have done that and if it was to raise public awareness or this Admin raising the scare factor?
But that is exactly what MAGA wants. America First means getting out of foreign wars and overseas bases and focusing on U.S. issues like crime and immigration. While not popular with Ds or Independents Trump is doing exactly what his base wants. Those are the minds that have to be changed.
Their cognitive dissonance is showing. They are aware of their rank hypocrisy and are looking for an excuse to justify being selfish, cruel, brats and still call themselves Christian.
Snake Eyes Miller gives me the willies. Instinctively I feel certain someday they will find bodies buried in his cellar or walls.
RFK Jr just like Trump has a serious case of Dunning-Krueger and believes he knows more than everyone else. Like his MAHA of Raw milk. That milk is labeled for pet/animal use requiring less sanitary requirements. People keep getting sick from it, but they still believe it's safer than pasteurizing.
But, but, but... I thought they were already deporting all the "bad hombres" and zero migrants are crossing our borders illegally now. Unless this administration is lying to us, why would they need their own fleet?
Then Vance tried to say those hippies never faced any danger. I guess he's oblivious to the Draft that all men in that age group were subjected to fight in the Korean War, or in the Vietnam War. Vance was never subjected to the Draft. He shouldn't belittle people he knows nothing about.
