So, we up dudes in boats with outboard motors.

Trump pardons a guy responsible for smuggling hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. over the years.

Ya, that makes no sense whatsoever if you believe what Trump says about his war on drugs

The majority of people in prison are there for possessing drugs, selling drugs, or doing something to get money for drugs.

What a waste of resources.

We could educate every prisoner - or send them to rehab - for what it costs to incarcerate them.

Meanwhile, Trump pardons a huge drug trafficker, responsible for tons of cocaine reaching the U.S. ...

Trump's approval rating is at minus 24 points. The more he does crazy things, the lower it will go. George W. Bush was minus 19 points in 2006. His Republican Party, of course, suffered major losses in the 2006 midterm elections, flipped Congress and won a veto-proof 60 seats.

This is the second worst for a president of either party at this point in their second term, dating all the way back to the 1940s.

Trump's name in North Korean translates to "Mental Lee Il"

DJT, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp, has lost 90% of it's value since the IPO

I've thought all along that entities behind the scenes have pumped DJT (bribery) so Trump can cash out his shares above $0.

The company is absolutely worthless.

If Trump & his ilk truly care about lawless drug cartels flooding the U.S. with drugs, why did Trump just pardon a convicted U.S, drug smuggler?

The movie, Reefer Madness, was part of a propaganda campaign against marijuana in the 1930s that was initiated by the U.S. Treasury Department's Federal Bureau of Narcotics, led by its first commissioner, Harry J. Anslinger.

Anslinger found himself with little to do when Prohibition was repealed, allowing legal alcohol consumption, so he cooked up a campaign aimed at city black folks, the easiest targets.

They showed us Reefer Madness in high school "health class." Half of us had been in the parking lot before that class, if you know what I mean. Much frivolity ensued as we watched that silly movie with the crazy piano player.

Well, another of Trump's less-than-able lawyers got handed her walking papers by the courts:

But Patel had 1000 FBI agents spending their time redacting the Epstein files?

FBI agents have a nickname for Patel: "F****** Douchebag"

Once rubes get near enough to his thoughts they're unable to escape:

A large percentage of pro-Trump posts on X are created by bots from outside the U.S.

Trump's promise we'd get tired of "winning?"

Yep, tired of it.

One of Nashville's 100k watt FM stations, WLAC, had really interesting stuff and stories about local stuff, as you said.

Clear Channel (now iHeart) bought it and it became nonstop Limbaugh, Hannity, uber nut case Mark Levin, yuck yuck yuck.

Nothing local anymore

PS - Enforcement of the Fairness Doctrine was ended during Reagan's presidency.

Thus, all the right wing echo chambers were born, the ilk of Limbaugh quoting The Washington Times (created by Sun Myung Moon so Limbaugh and other conservative mouthpieces would have a right wing newspaper to quote ala "The Washington Times reported ... blah blah blah."

I remember when the Fairness Doctrine was in place.

For example, "Crossfire," which Pat Buchanan co-hosted on CNN from 1982-1999. The show featured a political debate format with a host from the right and one from the left,

Van Epps (R) will probably win because TN Republicans gerrymandered the one solidly D district in Nashville into three that fan out into ruby red rural areas.

But a close showing by Behn won't be a good look for the GOP after early November's drubbings by Dems.

Even Mississippi's legislative GOP super majority is no more ...

Republicans killed campaign finance laws.

Democrats didn't fight for Citizen's United, or for dark money to stay dark, or weakening guardrails to prevent billionaires from buying elections through Super PACs.

Most members of Congress are significantly wealthier than the average American. In 2013, the "poorest" members still often had substantial assets, and the primary barrier is that working-class individuals rarely run for office in the first place.

Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress with a reported $1,000,000 in assets.

She's leaving with over $25,000,000 5 years later.

Nice work if you can get it, eh?

Vance and the GOP ignore most everything Christ, the namesake of Christianity, said about the poor, imprisoned, hungry, sick, etc etc etc, anyway.

I'm "so tired of winning."

How 'bout you?

Remember when now-MAGAts claimed they were the party of "law and order?"

Yet, somehow, they excuse January 6th, unconstitutional usurping the legislative branch with tariffs, violating the Emoluments Clause, and so much more.

Hypocrites. Every last one of 'em.

Even if she only comes close to winning it's another bad omen for the GOP/MAGAt party.

So, Trump's deporting "the worst of the worst criminals," eh?

BTW, the Supreme Court said DACA recipients cannot be deported because they have protected status.

... Todd Pomerleau, Ferreira's attorney, insists she came to the U.S. legally under DACA and is in the process of getting her green card.

"Bruna has no criminal record whatsoever. I don't know where that is coming from. Show us the proof. There's no charges out there. She's not a criminal, illegal alien, we're hearing that said about anyone who's not a U.S. citizen," Pomerleau said.

RIP, mon
