We betrayed the Kurds after promising to protect them. Trump betrayed Afgans when negotiating a withdrawal of US forces without their government's involvement. Now, sending Afgans back (people who aided the US) is a travesty. Send Stevie Miller and Katie instead? l.smartnews.com/p-8NalWNna/T...

Never understand why reporters still tell Trump who they are with. Every one of them should just start saying "It doesn't matter, I'm here every day and you need to start to learn people's names, you POS". They can't, but should. Trump is such a slob and an absolute jerk.

Another "mistaken identity "? The leadership of DHS must be dumber than the ICE idiots they hire. If this keeps up, all these agents are heading to jail. Time to abolish this department, put a competent AG in DOJ and prosecute everyone involved with the atrocities. l.smartnews.com/p-8KGFLHsA/x...

SI? Isn't that Sports Illustrated? Possibly a copyright infringement? Only stupid people refer to AI as Super Intelligence. Trump must be really dumb (with a "b")

These alleged crimes occurred in Venezuela, not the US. Yet the US presumes to prosecute in the US courts. I hope Trump, Patel, Musk, Rubio, Mullin, Noem, Miller, Vance, Blanche, Hegseth, and the rest of this corrupt group face prosecution in the Hague. l.smartnews.com/p-8E5XY4ne/l...

I do not understand why the whole press corps didn't walk out enmass. When Trump prevented news reporters access, he trampled on Free Speech and free press. Solidarity of the press would piss trump off and deprive him of the attention he craves. He's a bully. No attention = TACO.

How do we recall Senator Grassley and vote him out right now? He is worthless and impotent in the face of the destruction of historic structures. The Rose Garden destruction and constant corruption should have been enough to impeach. He's just pandering to Trump's whims.

This says it all. Trumps cronies know and now acknowledge they are violating international law. They are admitting guilt. War crimes, human rights violations, corruption, it's obvious. They want to ensure they don't end up in prison or sentenced to worse (Hegseth). l.smartnews.com/p-8tbGF0vC/P...
