Fetterman thinks that when he flips to the GOP that (1) he will be trusted by his new party (2) he will be rewarded with favorable committee assignments and (3) that he will be treated favorably by Der Dotard. It will take about a week before he realizes that none of this will happen ...

What is unsaid in Florida and other states trying to lower or eliminate property taxes is that sales taxes, including taxes paid at grocery stores, must jump to double digits to make up the shortfall. Of course, sales taxes are regressive, hitting harder those in lower income brackets. Further, in hard times touch revenue falls faster when consumers slow or stop their spending. The result is that tax revenue swings wildly, causing constant scrambling by public officials trying to balance their budgets while delivering services such as public safety and public education. Good times. Watch what happens in Florida and use it as a lesson for your state ...

Uh huh. Trump make threats at the drop of a red hat (see also: Iran, arresting HRC, firing Roger Goodell, etc.). I'm sure the DOJ's threats are in a similar vein...

Query: will those fake books on Trump Farce One make it into the Trump Library and House of Horrors? Asking for some MAGA folks who like books without words...

MAGA folk like Der Dotard because he says what they think: Their neighbor's wife has a nice rack, their kids are stupid, church is a waste of time, and the only way to get ahead is to grift. No MAGA adherent can name a single act, law or policy which Trump enacted and which helps those MAGA folk, but they will declare unto death that their leader is 'doing a great job'. Pah...

Remember those halcyon days when Der Dotard declared that he knew more than all 'the generals'? Good times. He is now demonstrating his knowledge as well as his true abilities in 'making a deal'. Iran is not some company trying to lease space in an office building, or a drywall contractor seeking payment for work completed long ago. Iran is a country populated with millions who literally seek the death of America and the death of Israel. They ain't playin'. Trump so far misunderstands and underestimates his adversary that his foolishness is on display in front of the whole world.

European countries are now acting under the belief that this Iran mess will be resolved in a manner that will include the tolling of every oil tanker coming to any destination other than China, Russia or North Korea. We once had nuclear inspectors on the ground in Iran, and soon we will have bursars paying the Iranian regime, on behalf of Americans--and no nuclear inspectors. That's no deal about which to crow...

So much winning!

More names for the long list of Trump pardon recipients. Unless they cannot pay up, in which case they will be thrown to the wolves...

Mitch isn't going to answer the request from the governor, either because he is already dead, or so incapacitated that he cannot communicate. The GOP in Kentucky have long-known that this day would come, and changed the law so as to require a special election, and NOT allow the governor to appoint someone to fill Mitch's term. Covering up Mitch's infirmity or death is vital to the GOP. Rather than acknowledge the fact that he will never again appear on Capitol Hill, they are obfuscating so as to avoid the loss of the seat to a Dem.

As for going himself and checking out Mitch's status, I'll wager the governor has already sent someone, and they couldn't see (or view) Mitch, 'because he is resting'...

One thing is certain: any hurricane coming aground in Florida or passing within 1,000 miles of the state will trigger $1B of damage to "The Southern White House", which will require a complete rebuilding, at taxpayer expense. And 'no one could have seen it coming'...

This Greenland thing is a grift and scam. The problem is that Americans as a whole have yet to figure it out. But we will...

The defendants will employ the Trump Defense: delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay and then settle, using no-disclosure agreements to be signed by the winning party...

I'll wager the waring was heard far and wide, with Administration members trading out of their positions and booking big gains, thanks to their access to a market mover--Der Dotard...

Trump lacks one thing in his life: a good punch to the nose. Too bad it was not administered when he was about 12, although I suspect he took a beat-down or two while at military school...
