If Lindsey Graham hadn't called his sister, I wonder how long he could have been missing from the Senate without consequences or investigation? Kean was gone 4 months, McConnell over a month so far and then there was the GOP congresswomen discovered in a nursing home.

Just read Trump rang the NYSE bell this morning from the Oval Office and that he wants to keep it as a decoration for his ballroom. What better memento for The Epstein Ballroom than the very bell from the NYSE, stomping ground of many of the Epstein Class. Enough of this People's House, right?!
And he's delayed fireworks by 2 hours so he can get in his rant/speech during prime time. I'm sure it won't be an issue for kids to be staying up and outside for fireworks starting at 11. Sure hope the old man doesn't get heatstroke!
“Under Trump, the cost of your July 4th holiday is up…” 🇺🇸 😕
Everything Trump touches dies. Except the algae. The longer than the World Trade Center pool, he just ruined.
Trump says he wants to put the war in "the rearview mirror." Too bad millions of struggling American families can't do the same. And certainly not the families of those Iranian school girls.
I'm wondering...does Trump get credit for each time he ends the Iran War?
Looks like Trump's pissed Netanyahu off and he's aiming those Jewish Space Lasers at the weather machine!
My memories of the 1976 Bicentennial, despite being on the heels of Vietnam and Nixon, felt proud and enthusiastic about our country. Trump's hijacking festivities with his own Freedom 250, has just sucked the joy out of the milestone and done more to tear us apart than unite. I pass on celebrating.
What's going unnoticed in these redistricting schemes is that urban areas are being stripped of representation, as if 21st century US is one giant rural composition. Cities have different concerns, are where the majority of taxes are paid and are losing representation in this government.
At the very least, live your life in such a manner that masses of people don't snark and celebrate at your demise. Not exactly the "rapture" that some people expect will follow.
If Qatar is hard up for money, how about we give them their plane back instead of front the oil rich countries with our taxpayer money. Or Jared and the Trump family could cut them a personal loan with the billions they have raked in during the term.
Don't forget he demanded an ailing Pope see him during the height of Holy Week, and within 24 hours Francis was dead.
Stock market falling: Time for some market manipulation out of the White House in 3, 2, 1...
I think a barrel of oil is now high enough where Air Force One should be grounded from weekend (two trips this weekend) trips to Mar-a-Lago.
Since when do security checks matter? Jarod couldn't pass one and he practically ran the govt. Trump couldn't pass one, independent of being the President. I'd suspect most of the Epstein Cabinet is risky.
It wasn't on my bingo card that Americans and Iranians would both be out protesting in force to start off 2026.
I have an idea, let's go after drug trafficking in this country. Should be simple enough, you expect the South and Latin American countries to eliminate it. And, while you're at it, let's fund treatment and prevention. Keep the intercepts at the borders but focus on fixing us, America First!
Has anyone reported how many Venezuelans were killed or injured? Innocents who had nothing to do with any of this atrocity. I don't give a shit if our equipment made it back unscathed, I care about the human suffering in unwarranted events like this.
No Fortune 500 company would go to a dementia ward to find a CEO and neither should we.
I was thinking it would be fun to create a headline for Trump's speech last night. My submission: Sexual Assaulter Wants a Thank-You.
Republicans can reopen the govt and fund the budget on their own as they control the Senate. Why haven't they punched another hole in the filibuster rule? It's because they want Dem votes to make them complicit in stripping away healthcare from millions of poor and working class people. Don't cave.
Looks like Trump is going out of his way to make the 401K first quarter earning statements look good.
Does anyone else wonder if Vance sets Trump up, for what he knows will be one of his dementia tirades, so that he can build a foundation for the 25th Amendment and attain the Presidency himself?
