I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.
Question: Can the blue states in which Trump intends to invalidate the election by sending in federal agents, get restraining orders in advance against the federal government?

The devil was told it's time to take Mitch. So he googled "senator who became a Trump lackey" and found Lindsey by mistake.
Given the constant vitriol he expresses for Obama, Biden, and other presidents, he is the last person on earth who has a right to say that. The lack of self awareness is staggering.

Executive summary: 1. U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. 2. Iran blocked Hormuz. 3. Ceasefire. 4. In exchange for Iran reopening Hormuz, U.S. will remove all prior sanctions, pay $300B, remove all military forces, never threaten Iran again, force Israel to withdraw from Lebanon.
The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us · 2mo agoThe difference between this and the deal Trump tore up is that Iran now gets more money, fewer restrictions, less oversight, and more regional autonomy.
Biggest TACO on record. Trump declares an agreement with himself. Israelis surprised that he says they agreed. They know nothing about it. Iran says they didn’t agree to anything. The guy is a complete delusional joke.

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.
“If elected … I will not let that happen.” Sounds to me like a plan to steal the election.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit
The case against Comey will obviously fail, but a conviction isn’t the point. For Trump, the indictment: - makes clear that he can prosecute his enemies based on nothing but his whims, without regard for merit or evidence - scares other prosecutors into obedience - imposes hardships on a foe
The case against Comey will almost certainly fail. For Trump, that’s not the point.
The new indictment against the former FBI director checks a set of boxes for the president, none of which has anything to do with securing a conviction.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4mo agoTrump—who for years cozied up to Erdogan amidst Turkey’s backsliding democracy—called off a criminal case against a Turkish bank accused of laundering over $20B for Iran to evade sanctions. We need answers from Trump’s DOJ about this betrayal of American victims of Iranian state-sponsored terror.

Here’s my theory. When Trump posted his “civilization will die” tweet he had already decided that he has to stop the war. He needed it to look like the Iranians were scared and decided to give in. So he bluffed. The guy doesn’t realize that everyone sees right through him.

Someone whose complete spoken words or written comments cannot be quoted in a newspaper or on TV should not be the president of the United States.
The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.
