I want the people that are ruling this country to be smarter than me. I am very disappointed. I don't really post much, if at all, but I reply to a lot of other people's posts.

That is what I was thinking, further eroding his case for tariffs, to equal out the trade deficits with other countries. 50% tariff on Brazil (trade surplus) because they are trying his corrupt buddy Bolsonaro. 50% tariff on India because they said he wasn't responsible for India-Pakistan truce.
It is a ridiculous statement, but she is just repeating what dear leader keeps saying.
Bilson is a talented wordsmith and has amused me with his clever use of word and structure in his poetry, but this one makes me sad.
Man, those California gold miners were so woke with their sourdough bread and their Levi Strauss denim pants (just like the hippies wore). I don't know, but there was probably a lot of dick suckin' in those all male mining camps too.
I may need to clarify. By rogue actors, I mean this definition: Any person or entity that poses a risk through negligent, reckless or intentional acts or omissions. Due to the proximity to Hollywood, I don't want anyone to think I was talking about rogue thespians.
Los Angeles survived thousands of structure fires fanned by 100 mph winds. I am sure they would have survived a few Waymo cars being set on fire in a 1-2 block area. I don't condone that, but I am sure that LAPD could handle it. A few rogue actors couldn't destroy L.A., but a rogue gov't could.
And a shout out to the judge who took the call at 2 am & had set the hearing by 3 am & then moved up the hearing because plaintiffs advised that the government was in the process of removing the children. She is aware of the governments duplicity in ignoring another court's order in a similar case.
Bilson's clever poetry has often made me laugh, but this one makes me want to cry.
He became a partner at Milbank law firm in February of this year. Then in April, Milbank entered into an agreement with trump to avoid one of his executive orders. They agreed to providing $100 mil in pro bono work & get rid of DEI. Many of Neal's fans called for him to resign from Milbank.
Earlier this year Ellis returned to past form, working with a conservative evangelical ministry. She now has a full-time job with American Family Association as senior adviser on public policy.
Witkoff is as easily played by Putin as trump is. I am sure that sidelining Kellogg was on Putin's orders.
Well, now that the CDC is to be run by idealogues instead of scientists, those numbers will change. Instead of data, they will rely on feelings, and they feel that it is antidepressants, not guns, that are the problem.
He is not buying that because polls can be manipulated. Then he says he has seen polls that are more to his liking, so of course those are not manipulated?
A recent study from WalletHub ranks Oklahoma at number 50 when it comes to education. The study ranked all 50 states and the District of Columbia using things like test scores, the drop-out rate, student-to-teacher ratio and bullying. N.M. ranked lower, but Mr. Walters is working hard to fix that.
Probably always, but the cunts have more reach now and can affect so much more.
This could be said of the whole country. I actually hope that the country can be salvaged, but if this much can be destroyed in 7 months, we won't survive 3.5 more years. Our place in the world will never be regained, as the entire world knows that all of our policies can be upended every 4 years.
I only recognize a few of those minerals, but I am fascinated by the name of paddlewheelite.
There are a lot more than 600 faith based organizations and non-profits in the US. Thousands more. Who decides which of these organizations are getting this taxpayer money? Is a madrasas going to get funds, a Buddhist school, a Jewish day school, a Morman school? Who decides?
But the trash is getting picked up and the flower beds are getting mulched. I wonder if Steven Miller is throwing his trash on the ground since the NG is being paid to pick it up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=APyr...
Off topic, but that looks like Greenland. Are those the 3 people that Denmark has said are running an influence campaign in Greenland promoting its succession from Denmark? www.bbc.com/news/article...
Well, the lab probably isn't assertive enough to keep them in line. The cats probably just don't care what the others do as long as they aren't being personally bothered. The first pictured dog probably should be in charge, though he/she looks like they might be the one organizing the party.
When we would leave the house, our dogs would be excited thinking we must be going to the dog park. We would say we are going to the store. They knew they couldn't go to the store, so they would sit down and look sad. No matter where we were going, we would say store.
Susan Collins will furrow her brow, clutch her pearls, voice her concern, and then vote to let trump do whatever he wants.
Would you please post your appearance at the 2022 NRA conference speaking about thoughts and prayers. And would you please post that after every single mass shooting in the US. Please.
The doors were barricaded with furniture. Her job was to get through the broken window and open the door for the rioters shouting "hang mike pence". They keep saying she was unarmed, but she had a backpack with contents unknown. There could have been a ham sandwich in it, or a bomb.
The worm in his brain. It speaks to him.
Is that real? Please, please, please tell me it is real.
It is normal in dictatorships.
So, he wants Newsom to sit down and shut up? Newsom is not a trad wife. He does have the right and obligation to speak up about the disgraceful actions of this administration.
So, he thinks that all of the big (blue) city residents are going to welcome martial law? Is he delusional or just one of the most dishonest fake Christians out there?
That was another one of his stupid proclamations. You can punish a rapist, but you can't stop rape because until a person rapes someone, they are not a rapist. Unless you are psychic and can tell that a person is going to rape someone and you punish them preemptively, you cannot stop rape.
He cast the deciding vote for RFKJr’s confirmation after getting assurances that he wouldn’t do exactly what he is doing. It was obvious to anyone listening to the hearing that brain worm boy was lying but it gave Cassidy cover to go along with it. He should be leading the charge to fire RFKJr.
9 states have free school lunches. This means no child goes hungry and doesn’t suffer the indignity of begging from someone. They are what we call “blue” states. Meanwhile, in Arkansas, Huckabee loosened child labor laws so those kids can work longer and later and buy their own meals.
My witty, vibrant brother-in-law died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 42. It is a horrendous disease. Please get rid of RFK Jr. so we can get back to discovering medical breakthroughs.
Thank you for your uplifting observations. I live in the US and I really needed these today. Just finished OverLondon. Looking forward to more Dread Pirate Reign investigations.
Kind of creepy that he is wandering through airports looking, studying kids. Stranger danger!
And long serving trans service members with exemplary records are being forced out and being deprived of earned benefits.
Sen. Cassidy cast the deciding vote for RFK, Jr.'s confirmation after receiving assurances from Kennedy & the Trump administration that Kennedy would not dismantle the nation’s vaccine safety systems or take down government vaccine guidance. I am pissed at him, and he should be pissed at RFK, Jr.
I do a lot of lollygagging. And no, there is no sexual connotation to that.
Gavin, you said if he is sincere about reducing crime. I hate to break it to you, but he is not sincere. About anything. But of course, I know that you know that. Keep up the good work.
Doesn't even come up on my Amazon page. Other Kraft bbq sauces, but not that one. Walmart has it though. www.walmart.com/ip/Kraft-BBQ...
She should enlist Sen. Cassidy in this effort. He cast the deciding vote for RFK, Jr.'s confirmation after receiving assurances from Kennedy & the Trump administration that Kennedy would not dismantle the nation’s vaccine safety systems or take down government vaccine guidance. He should be pissed.
Senator Cassidy should be calling for Kennedy to be fired. He was lied to. At the very least, RFK, Jr. should be called before the senate and have to explain why he lied to get confirmed. Then he should be fired.
Sen. Cassidy said he’d decided to cast the deciding vote to recommend Kennedy’s confirmation as HHS after receiving assurances from Kennedy & Trump administration that Kennedy would not dismantle the nation’s vaccine safety systems or take down government vaccine guidance. Where is Cassidy now?
Monty Python Meaning of Life: "Let us praise God. Oh Lord, oooh you are so big. So absolutely huge. Gosh, we’re all really impressed down here I can tell you. Forgive us, O Lord, for this dreadful toadying and barefaced flattery. But you are so strong and, well, just so super. Fantastic. Amen."
They won't support any laws restricting guns because "its a mental health issue, not a gun issue", but they won't support mental health because what?
If Sandy Hook didn’t move the needle, it seems to be hopeless.
He is talking about his imaginary valve that makes water flow from the Pacific NW to California. He blames Newsom for not turning on the nonexistent valve. He ordered some reservoirs emptied and managed to waste a couple billion gallons of water. www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/c...

It shouldn't matter what this crazy, bigoted idiot says, except for the fact that trump actually listens to her and makes decisions based on her recommendations. Trump will listen to and take seriously anyone who praises him.
He is talking about the noble piece prize. It is short for the noble piece of shit prize. I would argue that he shouldn't even get that because there is nothing noble about him. The Nobel committee can ignore Witkoff's wish.
Leviticus 20:10 ‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death. Paxton should hang that on his wall.
My new favorite song
To trump, numbers are just feelings. Data & evidence just don't matter. He feels that grocery prices are down. He feels that gas is $1.99/gal. He feels that crime is up in blue cities. He feels that the US has spent $350 bn in Ukraine. He feels that he won in a landslide. He feels that he weighs 224
I have a middle schooler who is supposed to take a school trip there in February. I am going to keep an eye on the situation. It is supposed to be an 8th grade rite of passage, but I don't like the situation there right now.
Yes, I was trying to make a joke, thus the /s/. It is worse than California on any measurable scale.
Homicide may be higher in Arkansas but they are lower in educational scores, health outcomes, and income. So checkmate libtards. /s/
Martial law one city at a time. Extortion of law firms, universities, media companies; accepting bribes for favorable treatment; bypassing congress by declaring everything an emergency; legislating by executive orders; congress ceding its power to the executive. How is this not a dictatorship?
I'm a US citizen. The country I thought I knew is gone. We are now governed by a dictator who bypasses congress by legislating by executive order. He extorts law firms, universities, state governments, corporations and accepts bribes for favors. Congress does nothing. Checks & balances don't exist.
She said she never saw trump behave inappropriately. Hell, I have never met trump (thank God) and have only seen him on television, and I have seen him behave inappropriately. For reference see him with Ivanka on The View, the Howard Stern appearances, the Access Hollywood tape, etc.
As long as RFK, Jr. is in charge of the US health policy, what do have to worry about? /s/
He publicly called for the CEO of Intel's removal because he read an article by Tom Cotton? Doesn't he have access to all the information available, experts and a staff, and he makes big decisions bases on a f**king article by f**king Tom Cotton?
So, this can't possibly be legal, can it? I mean he doesn't really have the power to make a deal like this unilaterally, does he? I hear he is sending the military to Chicago now too. Are there no checks and balances left? Is he really a dictator? Are we going to just let this shit go?
Imagine that. The woman sentenced to 20 years in prison and has a history of perjuring herself never saw the only man in the world who has the power to commute her sentence or pardon her do anything inappropriate ever. She never witnessed any crimes at all & hopes the appeals court believes that.
Eating in public is a crime? Since when?
I have never been to a Cracker Barrell, but if I ever do go to one, I am happy to know I won't run into James Woods there. I would also feel much safer taking my underage granddaughters there now, knowing he won't be there too.
Could they have been referring to the other two branches, legislative and judicial, having appeared to cede a lot of their power to the executive, instead of being the checks and balances on the executive as established in the constitution?
I wish I could believe that one.
Still has to be voted on by the citizens of California. I think we can do it, but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, or in other words, I don't want to count the votes before they have been cast.
It is up to the voters now, as it should be. Gavin has made a good case for this, as a onetime exception to the nonpartisan redistricting committee process. I am against violence but if someone punches me in the face, I will fight back. Texas is trying to punch us in the face.
Thanks for that. As a US citizen, I feel a little better, though not much, knowing that the UK also has a bunch of idiots willing to vote against their own interests. Cheers, I guess?
She always wins. She won a $1 million sanction for trump and herself for filing a bogus lawsuit. She also won attorneys fees, not for herself but for the people they sued. She won a verdict of fraud for trump in his NY mortgage fraud case. The fees have been thrown out, but the verdict has not.
This is a great list for any garage band looking for a name. I would go to a show featuring Ocelot’s Kink, Tom’s Bad One, The Digby Flutes and of course, the headliner Humpstoop.
Notice how the search of Bolton's home is for classified materials and trump was indicted for retaining classified materials. Notice how they are investigating Adam Schiff and Leticia James for mortgage fraud and trump was convicted of mortgage fraud. Who is next?
I kind of want to know what he said after “I think I will, by and large”..,
He is so easy to manipulate if you are an authoritarian dictator.
Californian's influence in our government is already diluted by the electoral college. A WY elector represents 150,000 voters, a CA elector represents 500,000 voters. Then in the senate, 2 CA senators represent 40 million people, and WY, SD, ND, VT, DE have 2 for less than a million people each.
He and Sadam Hussein had the same interior decorator.
Sounds woke to me, and DEI. I totally support this. I hope it doesn't get pulled by the current fascist regime.
I saw the Rocky Horror Show live at the Roxie in Hollywood, in 1974, twice. Tim Curry as Dr. Frank N Furter and Meat Loaf as Eddie and Dr. Scott. No Susan Sarandon involved. I used to have the album of the Roxie cast. This doesn't really have anything to do with the post; I am just bragging.
She held secret meetings with Syrian dictator Assad who committed war crimes against his own people and then praised him publicly. She has publicly sided with Russian propaganda against US intelligence agencies. So has trump, but it is not appropriate for the Director of Intelligence or for trump.
...to critics in the U.S., including lawmakers in both parties, the (Gabbard's) comments showed a disturbing willingness to parrot Russian propaganda — a tendency that has earned Gabbard praise on Russian state TV.
In any other reality, Tulsi Gabbard would never have a security clearance.
Then you too could be the director of the FBI.
Is Union Station air conditioned? That would be a more believable explanation. I have heard the heat and humidity are terrible in Washington DC and the troops are definitely not dressed for it.
Maybe he meant that he was going to rig a fixed economic system. He gets confused that way. It’s the dementia.
I can't imagine any teacher from NY or CA would have any interest in teaching in OK under this creep's Christofascist reign over the school system there.
Refusing a police escort is not against the law. If it was against the law, she would be arrested and taken to jail. To hold her in a building because she refuses to give permission to be followed & monitored is FALSE IMPRISONMENT. Texas penal code 20.02
He should subpoena the dead people that he talked to. We all need to hear what they have to say.
Current cost of cocaine is $13,000 to $26,000 per kilo. Assuming that trump gets the most expensive, $95 million comes out to 3,653.8 kilos of cocaine. Thats a whole lot of blow.
No one polled me, but if they do, I am also HEAVILY in support of redistricting in our state.
I am sure that Vance will catch up to trump's unfavorables once they get to know him better.

I have a granddaughter who is signed up for the traditional 8th grade Washington DC trip next year. I am concerned about her safety in a city where firearms are allowed to be carried in public, and where fat-assed, apparently untrained faux LEOs patrol the city accosting "foreign looking" people.
I want to report the felon in the White House so bad, but I don't want them coming after me. Amazing that in a mere 7 months the US has become one of those shithole countries no one wants to visit.
Ryan Walters also is the one who wanted to spend millions on 55,000 trump bibles for the OK schools. The court put a stay on that, but he has asked that the stay be lifted. Walters released a statement, saying Democrats, "woke educators" and teachers unions have limited Christianity in schools.
Remember this gem from 2017: "Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded and safe," he said following their talks at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. www.reuters.com/article/worl...
