After everything the GOP Congress has allowed POTUS to do (tariffs, war, etc.), why *would* Blanche be where they draw the line? Nov is going to be yet another round of, "...I'm not voting *for* someone, I'm voting *against* someone..."

If there's any form of an 'anti-weaponization fund', any form at all, then Hearn gots to get paid!
Has anyone noticed that Trump is still hung up on the "Iran won't have a nuclear weapon" thing, when Gabbard's written testimony and Joe Kent's own words were that they weren't even close? Of those three names, who's gone?
Panetta laid out for everyone why the Administration is in the pickle they're in. When negotiating something like this, you don't do it thru proxies. You have someone on your side who knows the language, knows the nuances, and can speak to the other side, face to face. You, like with the JCPAO.
Blowing up boats and killing people didn't stop the flow of cocaine, per the DEA. Threats against civilian infrastructure in Iran. Threats against Greenland. Is it any wonder Rubio spent so much time talking about dismantling the ICC??
Pirro claimed, w/o evidence, that Hearn vandalized the reflecting pool. Gabbard claimed, w/o evidence, that Pretti "brandished" a weapon, and went to the rally to kill. Claims were made against Good. Homan made claims, re: ICE in Maine, admittedly w/o watching 1 of the videos. Notice a pattern?
Is anyone taking bets on what "emergency" is going to be concocted in order to cancel the midterm elections?
There're more than a few open intel sources for what's going down ahead of the midterm elections. Look at betting on PolyMarket and other prediction markets, and look at stock sales/purchases by those around POTUS.

MAGA Aide Accused of Trying to Bring Drugs Into Senate
He was stopped with ammunition and a sandwich bag containing suspected cocaine and fentanyl.

What's the over-under on PolyMarket for the contrived "emergency" Trump's going to concoct to cancel the mid-term elections? With the admin going after whistleblowers, is anyone watching stock purchase/sales, predictive/betting markets, etc?
Canada deployed resources to assist the US during wildfires. The US response is to threaten tariffs and sanctions when Canada has their own. WTF???
Seriously? thehill.com/homenews/sen...
GOP senator to introduce bill to sanction Canada over wildfire smoke
Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), a close Trump ally, announced Thursday that he will introduce legislation to sanction Canada and Canadian officials over the huge wildfires that have poured smoke and h…

Growing up in the early '80s, my GI Joe action figures may have had beards, but none of them had hair on their knuckles. Should we have been concerned about low T then, too, Sec. H?
POTUS imposes tariffs, w/o the consent of Congress (and they allow it). Who pays? You and me. POTUS has to repay $81B...with a "B"...in tariff refunds. Where does *that* $$ come from? <checks wallet> Oh, yeah...
He's doing with elections what he did with Iran...it's his playbook. He tore up JCPAO for no reason, then claimed a manufactured "emergency" to "justify" starting a war. Unlike the GOP Congress on tariffs, the war, etc, Iran pushes back. He's already claimed the elections were rigged.
Reading commentary on POTUS's comments in Turkey, seeing references to cutting off trade with Spain. Commentary says something about POTUS not having the authority. Bruh, where've you been for the past 19 months?
So what do you do when you can't get your way with Iran? You pardon soccer players, of course! Because the true definition of power to wield it everywhere you can, all the time...
I played soccer from elem thru high school. I also ref'd matches to make $. To know that POTUS can call up the folks who gave him the "FIFA Peace Prize" and overturn a red card is 🤦
Words have power. For Giuliani, $148M for defamation. For Trump, $5M, including defamation.
This tells you all you need to know about Vance, and the current administration. This is only a crazy idea because the GOP Congress has abdicated their responsibilities, and federal judges are regularly ignored without consequence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
Sean Duffy rails against "libtard" musicians who bailed on the America 250 event, while standing in front of military musicians...who didn't have a choice about being there. The irony is not missed.
Talks with Iran need mediators bc you've got Vance standing there in front of them, and tRump threatening them over social media, saying they might not have a country to go back to. Who does that?
tRump blasted Obama for agreeing to unfreeze $1.7B in frozen assets. Then he agrees to unfreeze $24B, put another $300B toward reconstruction, and waived sanctions, allowing Iran to sell oil. How is that NOT a step back, and how is it NOT worse than the JCPAO?
Can someone let Vance know that the JCPAO had inspections, and inspections were going on until the bombing in June 2025 (a year ago)? His whole, "...if I _feel_ it's true, it's true..." didn't work with Haitian immigrants, and it doesn't work with nuclear inspections in Iran.
The Reflecting Pool serves as a metaphor for the current administration. Create a problem by blaming predecessors/others, massive cost overruns, announce "arrests" and other stuff with no evidence, declare massive victory for a clearly epic failure.
MOU with Iran "reaffirms" that it will not develop/procure a nuclear weapon. "Reaffirms", saying, "...what we said in the JCPAO, which you/Trump, tore up...". Americans should be asking, why are we here? History tells us.
JCPAO included $1.7B in unfrozen Iranian funds, and Trump blasted Obama for giving Iran "billions". Current numbers - $24B in unfrozen assets, another $300B to rebuild. The irony is strong with this one. Iran came out stronger in the end than when the "war/not a war" started.
MOU with Iran refers to "the current war". Congress was bypassed because it wasn't a "war". Looks like Trump signed the receipt on this one.
