If there's a red flag about a CIA Black Ops somewhere that has Wyden sounding the alarm, guaranteed it isn't anything we've had any hints about before.

It's not like the CIA announces their moves on Signal.

Black Ops is the equivalent of running silent.

"The ICE agents may not have read the fine print of the contracts they agreed to?"

LOL ~ Their eyes were blinded by the blinking neon $$$$ signs.

Of course he does. You don't think Trump has the smarts to run this whole show by himself, do you?

Lying is Trump "thing." And there isn't anybody alive who doesn't already know that Trump is a just a lying sack of buffalo chips (cow manure) including everybody in his administration.

Miller is Trump's Joseph Goebbels.

Note the resemblance.

"Coalie"

Is this Stephen Miller's latest distraction?

He must be running a couple quarts low.

Trump is such a sucker for a get rich scheme.

Someone should tell him that in a few years that coal would turn into diamonds and he could corner the diamond market. Then he could buy up all the coal mines and just sit and wait.

He'd probably go for that.

"After not being paid for their service/ingratiation by Pres Trump."

The $$$$ signs were blocking the fine print.

The deal is they don't get that $50,000 bonus until AFTER they work for a a full 5 years.

We all know how that's going to turn out. SUCKERS!

A MONSON

I was beginning to wonder if they slept in all those bulky uniforms and canisters strapped to their bodies.

And where does Trump house and feed 2000 ICE agents (at taxpayer's expense)?

They have to eat and sleep someplace.

Trump mentioned California would be a #1 target for ICE agent to surround voting stations. I wonder if Gov. Newsom would call in the U.S. Army National Guard to counter-protect the voting stations.

And who would have rank when it comes down to Army tanks vs ICE black SUVs?

Actually, I'm hoping to see those Army water cannons again. That would be a sight to behold.

UPDATE: That's going to put a crimp in Gate's wife's divorce settlement.

Doctors don't order an MRI of the brain without a reason.

It was rumored that Trump had a minor strok when he disappeared for a few days not so long ago.

My guess is that's the reason his doctor ordered an MRI this time.
Too bad we'll never find out the results until his autopsy.

Personally, I don't think he's been banging on all eight cylinders for years.

DANFORTH

Considering Trump's eating habits over the years tells me that he's been ignoring a doctor's advice for most of his life. I'd say that his cholesterol level is probable through the roof. Which is another reason for overdosing with Aspirin.

One little chip off that buildup of cholesterol blocking the blood flow to his brain and Trump is looking at a stroke, an aneurism or death.

That how my older sister died at age 80. Her doctor had been advising her for years to change her diet.

DANFORTH

Those Aspirin blood thinners can only make the blood so thin that the oxygen/blood ratio shuts down the normal operation of the brain. It's starting to show.

He mistake is he thinks he knows more than his doctors.

UPDATE: It's too little, too late, but Trump's going to find those 11,781 votes if it kills him. LOL

Although tragic, the situation in Minnesota isn't a world changer.

I suspect this nomination is a symbolic gesture to rub Trump's nose in his own highly publicized epic failure ~~ otherwise known as kick in the nads.

A brilliant move, in my opinion, that will serve its purpose for a long time.

SNOOFY

"The people in the Epstein Files are harder criminals, and they're being ignored."

Why is that, you ask? Probably because Trump is one of them. Has there ever been any doubt that Trump, a sociopath with no moral guardrails and an overwhelming need for a male ego boost, wouldn't jump at the chance sample a few of Epstein's underage wares?

IMO, the brains of all of them, including Trump, reside below the belt buckle.

LEGALLY

That's not going to work. What we really need to do this November 3rd is cut off the head of the fish which is where the rot starts.

And then IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH! (including J. D. Vance and maybe Chief Justice Roberts)

President Putin wants all of Eastern Europe or all of Europe if Trump can get control of Greenland to secure the Arctic Passage.

I read somewhere that such a thing was called the battle for power at the top of the world.

"Hmmmm deescalation or did they get so much pushback from the military that they had to back down?"

Or . . . did the Northern Command give Trump notice that they would NOT be obeying an illegal command?

It's rather obvious that Trump is in a panic over the midterms on November 3, 2026, just 9 months and 3 days away. Having failed at almost everything he's tried to lie, cheat and steal is way to hold onto power, I have a feeling that his next gig is going to be something more horrible than any of us can imagine.

He's a desperate man with maniacal tendencies and zero moral guardrails.

We all know what that means. Even those with their head in the sand.

The U.S Supreme Court may have something to say about this but probably not what we'd constitutionally expect. This could be the final blow to the Constitution and Democracy that the Supreme's have been waiting for since Roberts first sold out the highest court in the land to Trump.

We've all been waiting for it. There was no doubt it was coming. And now it's here.

Trump can call it what he wants but the truth is there's been a tsunami of cancellations since his name was added to the Kennedy Center.

Thus creating a crisis (a wrecking ball actually) to the Center's financial structure. Performers don't want their name associated with Trump in any form or fashion whatsoever.

Trump lies, as usual. But the truth is in the pubbing, so it's said. Cancellations galore!

"why is it trump's fault"

In a big way it is.

If I was a potential parent, I wouldn't want any child of mine growing up under a dictatorship.

A temporary decline in population growth in the USA is a dead giveaway of how people feel about Trump and his plans for an autocracy.

Once a Democrat is in charge and faith in the US government is restored, things will go back to normal.

All anybody has to do is vote for it.

LEGALLY

Maybe so, but that's not what caused the stain on the front of Donald's pants in the photos that Michael Wolff said he was shown (by Epstein) of Trump and partially naked young girls sitting on his lap.
