it's going to happen. Better now than when people start voting. If it's done now, the courts will have time to weigh in without jeopardizing the vote. If he does it while votes are being cast, some people may be unwilling to turn out and vote.

The US should not attack Iran openly. It should support the protestors by providing them with support, small arms, intel, etc. They struggle needs to develop its own leaders and that won't be accomplished if they let others do the fighting for them. But, if Trump holds true to form, he won't be able to resist jumping out in front of a parade and taking credit for anything positive that might occur.

I don't think there has ever been a bigger POS in all of human history!!!

I'd like to see a bill that excludes from federal, state or local office, anyone that is also a citizen of another country.

What makes Newsome appealing as a presidential candidate is that he is from CA, an unabashedly leftish state. Just as Trump is willing to impose his personal views on America and let the courts figure it out, Newsome is willing to impose leftish views on America. After Trump, the country will need to make a sharp left turn, UNDO EVERYTHING that Trump has done, claw back every dime that Trump and his acolytes have stolen, give all Trump appointees the boot, hire back as many employees that Trump has gotten rid of that want to return, rebuild/re-establish all agencies, tear out all of the "renovations" that Trump has made to the WH and its campus, etc., etc., etc. And, last but not least, fumigate the f'n place.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Minnesota did not have jurisdiction.

Not having jurisdiction is different from cooperating in the investigation. Do leaders on the right thing that all people that hear their words are as stupid as they are? That must be it. They think that because of their position, they are the sharpest knives in the drawer and that anything they say to the masses will be believed.

Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Todd Young (Ind.) " "should never be elected to office again."

When the time comes, that should be 4 sure votes for impeachment.

Trump Slams Clooneys for Acquiring French Citizenship

Not a problem as long as they don't run for elected office here in the US. Those with dual citizenship here in the US should have to drop their citizenship in other countries in order to serve in elected office here.

US 'captured' Venezuelan President Maduro

Sounds like what H. W. Bush did regarding Manuel Noriega in 1989 but with a less legal framework.

The end does not justify the means.

Trump Threatens to Terminate Broadcast Licenses of Major Networks

It maybe that such a move would not be as traumatic as people think.

If broadcast TV went away, the biggest shift would be content moving entirely to streaming platforms, forcing viewers to subscribe to multiple services for news, sports, and shows, while potentially losing free, universal access; however, many argue it would spur more varied online content, foster offline hobbies, and might even be replaced by future 5G broadcasting for mobile devices, but the loss of instant, universal local news and major live events on a single free platform would be a significant cultural change.

49 House Dems Write to POTUS About IDF Violations in Gaza

To little, to f'n late. Had they taken a principled stand prior to 11/12/25, we might not be saddled with DJT. But no. They wanted that campaign cash from AIPAC.

Donald Trump Impeachment Warning Issued by Mike Johnson

Obviously that is not a major concern otherwise he wouldn't be doing things that warrant impeachment!

There are all kinds of victims of crimes; especially street crimes. Are they being helped? Is their a victims compensation fund for those victims?

No One Loves Pres Trump More Than FCC Chairman Brendan Carr

And one of the first moves of the next Democrat President should be to breakup the large media companies that own so many broadcast TV and Radio companies.

SOP for a con man

Johnson Sends House Home Ahead of Epstein Files Deadline

Who's there to receive the files if the House is not in session? Could this be Johnson's way of giving DOJ more time to redact? Or, is this his petty way of giving the finger to the people that signed the discharge petition?

That is the source of all these problems.

Exactly!!! Biden's appointment of Garland was a major mistake! You want a seasoned prosecutor at the head of the DOJ. My pick was Preet Bharara. But, that is all water under the bridge for the next democratic president to consider.

Yet under Biden and I would argue the Democrat platform, this wasn't the approach, as its racist.

What's racist about rooting out and prosecuting fraud?

the DNC will never play the conservative play and go for middle of the road voters by picking candidates that best match the district and state they're running in, they'll push for ever "first [insert string of ever more myopic minorities]" candidates all the way.

IMHO that's not what's wrong with democrats. The problem with democrats is that they run to the left in primaries and then tack back to the middle for the general. IOW They take advantage of their primary/base voters. These primary/base voters get PO'd and I believe accounts for poor poll numbers for democrats. This tacking back to the middle helps explain why democrats can't seem to get much done once they get into power.

Say what you will about Trump, but he will run as fast and as far as he can until someone/something forces him stop. I'd like to see the next democratic president do the same with issues that are important to base democrats. How about starting off with statehood for DC, PR and the VI?

DOE Will Co-Locate AI Data Centers at US Nuclear Sites

At least they're not locating them next to population centers! I remember seeing something that said with the proper nourishment and programming, humans make good batteries.

White House Sued by Historic Preservation Group

Let's see if this group can use the legal system in the same way that Trump uses it i.e. slow down the process. Maybe they can slow it down enough that it won't get finished and a new (democratic?) president can tear the incomplete structure down and start over and build something more in character with the West Wing.
