"Trump demands investigation into negative polls."

What a strange coincidence.

Negative polls are demanding an investigation into Trump.

Go figure ~~ LOL

Cadet Bone Spurs has been an unconvicted, irresponsible, free ranging, slipper-as-an-eel felon his whole life. He gets off on the misery of others. He hides behind chaos. He lies as easy as he breaths. He's a lazy insecure brat who fancies himself a genius. He scalps, scams and destroys everything he touches.

Now he trying to scalp, scam and destroy democracy ~~ for himself but also for the benefit of Russia.

Mr. Putin once claimed, "I finally got a man in the White House."

DIBBLDA

That, and always remember that old adage, the fish rots from the head down.

Escaping humans?

I'm wondering how she escaped the dingo's ravenous appetite for easy prey.

Admitted??

Is North Korea talking about the cannon fodder they already sent . . or is this new cannon fodder that we're just now learning about?

I seem to remember that North Korea recalled what was left of their original deployment because . . . well, because of high losses as a result of North Korean troops being used by Russia as front line cannon fodder.

Whoda thunk it?

Never give a Republican a leg up, regardless of how low on the ladder the position. If he isn't corrupt when you vote for him it doesn't take long for him to figure out where the big money comes from that he needs to climb higher up the ladder.

When you vote you're signing a covenant, an agreement, with the person you want to win.

Some idiots, like the one in this story, just never read the fine print.

There were reams of it (single spaced) in Trump's background that said he wasn't banging on all cylinders. That said he was a bad businessman. That said he was a narcissistic grifter. That said he was a pathological liar and a con artist.

No sympathy for the victim in this story.

Trump was sold "as is" with all his non-working parts in need of expensive repairs.

No backsies!

Now that Trump has puffed himself up enough to think he can start giving orders to Mr. Putin (STOP! BOMBING KYIV) I have a feeling Trump himself is in for a big smackdown . . . Russian style.

In case Mr. Putin decides that Trump is more trouble than he's worth, I wonder who Mr. Putin would prefer for their malleability. . . . J.D. Vance or Mike Johnson?

Trump is making the same mistake he made in his first administration. He failed to work on Putin's agenda (to restore the old U.S.S.R.) so miserably that he set Mr. Putin's agenda back four years, at least.

I was surprised that Mr. Putin gave him another chance.

Now, once again, Trump is turning out to be a very poor sock puppet.

So, if Mr. Putin runs true to nature, he may decide to handle Trump the same way he handled Mr. Prigozhin, (Wagner Group) another former ally and close confident who got too big for his britches.

Wouldn't that be a hoot?

DESPERATION BREEDS DESPOTS!

Trump is losing so many of his cases at all judicial levels.

I'm going to sit tight until Trump orders the DOJ to arrest (the traitorous) Chief Justice Roberts for not being more help (greasing the skids) to him on his fast track to a dictatorship.

Well, actually they do . . unless their edict is overturned by a higher court.

It's called a system of checks and balances in the Constitution to prevent a tyrannical or wanna-be dictator from running amok with power grabs.

Of course, there's more to it than just that, but for your sake, we keep it on an elementary level.

This isn't surprising. Hitler was a psychological basketcase, too.

El Salvador is Trump's gas chamber.

No more klieg lights for Sarah . . . PLEASE!

I'm convinced that Trump's actions are a clear marker for how little he cares about low poll numbers on the economy or any other indication of his failure to uphold his Oath of Office.

He has a bigger plan in store for himself

By now it shouldn't be hard to figure out that Trump's maniacal lust for the power that has escaped him his entire life is the driving force behind his irrationality now . . and the leadup to what ends he'll take to hold onto that power, including the Insurrection Act, before the next election that would most likely kick him (or his chosen successor) to the curb.

NORTHGUY

"What will scotus do when trump ignores them?"

The SCOTUS doesn't have an enforcement branch. They can issue directives but depend on the Executive Branch or the DOJ to carry them out.

Trump is not happy with the rate of deportments he so glibly lauded as a scapegoat for America's problems.

ICE is under pressure to step up the pace. To make headlines for Trump . . . not themselves.

As a result, ICE will take a stab in the dark at anything.

There's not a doubt in my mind that the Roberts Supreme Court will give Trump a green light every chance they get if it's at all possible to twist wording of the Constitution in Trump's favor.

This just isn't one of those times.

while Trump wants to blast his way into a Dictatorship, Roberts is taking a more tempered approach.

My guess is that they both have each other on speed dial.

Whether or not that 15% tax break makes it into the budget will test the loyalty of Trump's monied corporate base. Johnson is facing some serious headwinds.

No tickee, no washee!

I'm kinda hoping that GOP members of both Houses come to realize that they have to get rid of Trump to save themselves. Maybe the mid-terms will tell the story . . . . IF Trump hasn't seized control of elections by then.

Anyway, I have a feeling that when we get to the end of this fiasco it will be one for the history books.

Forget about Musk and his cars.

I have a feeling Musk will go the way of Mike Lindell once Trump is impeached. Well, maybe not completely, but at least knocked down a peg or two.

Nor do I think impeachment of both Trump and Vance is out of the question. Or Trump impeached and Vance forced to resign.

Think for a moment who would benefit the most, politically from a back-door conspiracy among corporate CEOs and the GOP to rid the party of this maniac gone amok.

Speaker Johnson comes to mind.

Food for thought.

"The ----- lush suspends aide number three."

They're lucky to get out of this administration early. Trump's criminal activity is going to get worse. Scapegoats could actually end up suffering severe consequences (i.e. Scooter Libby) if Trump and his goons railroads them into the blame-game to save themself.

A scapegoat.

Just as I predicted. Trump would be nothing if not redundant.

Unless this scapegoat has been given a life or death threat to keep his mouth shut, he's going to be in high demand on the Sunday talk shows. Otherwise, I hope he writes a lot "insider" tell-all op-eds.
