Sure Californians are against gerrymandering but politics today is too important to let the other side do it without responding in the same way. Gavin Newsom is doing his job by protect the political power of the voters in California. It's just so amazing how Republicans will gerrymander shamelessly and the cry foul when the Democrats do the same thing!

They got thr bane for his TV ahow exacrly right and we should respect the same name to descrihis Prewaidency;he is an Apprentice Dictator.

"Not me. That's just Trump defacing the office of the presidency even more than he already has."

I'm sure Corky agrees with you Laura, I know I do! To ha?ve something like that at the White House? What's Next? ---- Fights? WhyPoor people battling for cash?not dog fights? Poor people battling for cash? Homelrss women fighting to the death for a 1 bedroom apartment for a year? Let's gace it there is nothing off limits for Trump and his MAGAs!

Don't we always roll out red carpet for mass murderers? For Dictators who kidnap children? Dictators who tell their sildiers to rape little girls in front of their parents? Trump has shown himself to be an immoral fiend. His friendship with Putin is 1000 times wprse than his friendship with Epstien! I am honestly sickened by his welcome for him yesterday. There is no excuse for it! If MAGAs continue to support him then they are despicable just like he is!

I've been voting by mail for years; now with Putin's comments. I know it is good for American democracy. And Trump repeating what he told him means we got to get Trump out of our government. Let him retire to an old folks home where he will be well taken care of.

If it sounds like an Oligarchy and if it smells like an Oligarchy. and tastes like an Oligarchy then it probably is an Oligarchy! MAGAs celebrate! Y'all built that! I hope you still like it six months from now but I seriously doubt that you will butdon't worry....you can always blame Obama/Biden and Hillary too! Just say it was all caused by Obamacare! But hey, MAGAs are just former Bushies which is like saying they aren't just dumb; they're double dumb!

Just announced: the Secret Service will be monitoring all prayers to insure that the President and Vice President will not be the targets of subversive prayers!

I imagine the real problem was that the sell-out of Ukraine was spelled out and Trump doesn't want to be seen as weak as he "negotiates' (haha!) with Putin!

And security guarantees without NAYO membership is a script written by Putin that Trump and Vance happily repeat! Why should Russia have ant say about which nations can join NATO? the wgole purpose of NATO is to defend the smaller countries against a Russian invasion. If Trump had guts he would strongly announce support for NATO and include Ukraine!

Of course any comments about ending support for Ukraine is encouragement for Putin and JD Vance running his stuoid mouth about American taxpayers tired of supporting Ukraine was like a love letter yo Putin. This administration is all about talking to the MAGAs but are too clueless to consider that Putin hears every word and loves it!

I just need to know if it was a Six inch or a Footlong and was the bread toasted?

"I'm sure it will be as well planned as Space Farce."

FTFY!

"A complete own by Putin."
, for a few hours nobody was talking about the Epstien files which was the real purpose of this side show; no one really thought Putin was going to seriously discuss peace in Ukraine; including Trump. The war is a distraction for Russians so they can foget thry're dirt poor for a little while.

The compay with the highest rating will recieve the coveted Golden tongue Award!

They should have arrested Putin today and sent him to The Hague for trial but, of course, Trump wouldn't allow an arrest of a fellow dictator; those are his bros! I dout we'll ever see another chance like that!

Trmp reported nothing from his meeting with Putin so it's obvious yje only truthful report he could make was that Putin doesn't want a cease fire because there are still plenty of Ukrainian children left to murder and he will only stop murdering children when Zelensky surrenders. Trump made a complete ---- of himself by hinting that a cease towards victory; as long as there are civillian targets hefire was a possibility when Putin views civillian casualties as points scored towards victory. As long as there are civillians living in Ukrainian cities Putin will keep murdering civillians. To Puyin it's a strategy to win the war and the concept of a war crime is imaginary nonsense in his reptilian brain. NATO, including the U.S. need to realize how totally ruthless Putin is and come up with a strategy that can effect a non-human being. Today he was right there they should have arrested him a transported him to The Hague for trial. I don't think there will be another chance like that soon.

Psst....Whatsleft you're not supposed to talk about that! Who's side are you on anyway?

Any decent human being would have asked Putin how many children he had murdered that morning before leaving for America! I would have hand sanitizer available after shaking hands with that murderer. I wish the TV network I was watching would have had the death toll number on the screen constantly increasing as he walked the red carpet with Trump who seems to be mesmerized by his guest!

I wouldn't ban all personal injury ambulance chasers; just the one's who advertise on TV bragging about big settlements for their clients (Morgan and Morgan and others). I hate those creeps who cause our insurance rates to be so high. I honestly think wOur home though was undamaged as were all the rest of the homes on our street.e should return to a less letigious time when attorneys did not advertise. But, I also don't think pharmaceutical manufacturers should be advertising either.
I'm sure that the TV netwotks would disagree since they make so much money advertising for both. I live in Floida; land of hurricanes and so I oppose anything that is going to add significantly to the cost of home ownership. Well, Florida is in an insurance crisis; people are being forced to sell their homes because the insurance costs more than their mortgage and our Governor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the greedy insurance industry. But, the lawyers have created this problem by bragging on TV about big settlements.
Back in 1992 I lived in a modest house in Hollywood, Florida when Hurricane Andrew was predicted to be coming straight for our city so we evacuated abd returned the next day after the storm had turned and gone far south to South Miami where it was a huge disaster. We clraned up the yard and went on with life but then I was told by a neighbor that everyone else on the street had filed insurance claims and recieved between $5-$10,000 settlbeen contacted by the same law firmements with virtually no damage. This did upset me and then I was told most of them had all been contacted by the same law firm which was apparently assisting many, many homeowners and filing bogus claims. Realise, after Andrew all insurance adjusters were busy as hell so smaller claims were just paid without question. But our home owner's insurance rates wenr way up and, I guess, I've pretty much considered most lawyers to be crooks ever since and I have two siblings who are successful attorneys and they know what I think pf their professiion (not muvh).
Point being, if Gov. Desantis cared about Floridians he would do something about the lawyers and the insurance companies but he won't even consider it because they bought and paid for his governorship aND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

"I've seen a lot more americans rooting for fascist oligarchy than you're happy with Trump;, we just can't allow the United States to do things like most of Western Europe; like Socialized healyjcare and education because....because,,,,,because why??? Because it's a better system than Capitalism for healthcare and education! So we just can't allow that!??? If you like Fascist Oligarchy so much then move to Russia; no one will stop you! I would encourage the government to pay for your air fare and a few thousand dollars in your pocket! Just go and don't come back!

I'm not recomending it but the United States deserves to be expelled from the United Nations. Our country elected this monster! bWe have no excuse for that. Germany elected Hitler Chancellor but we even punished Germans who used the "I was just following orders." Every Republican member of Congress would be wise to remember that; deporting kids with cancer? taking food assistance away from starving children? How are today's Republicans that different from yesterday's Nazis? Putting people in cages, ssor his cult members, , except separating families, deporting people to zsouth Sudan and even Syria? It is becoming undeniablex that MAGAs have elected a sadistic psychopath as President and I have noticed they are actually enjoying watching the intentional cruelty so when Trump is gone and America is Amerlca again we will not forget those who caused this nightmare! I don't know what will happen but I do think they should be expected to wear some symbol to identify themseves as MAGAs; they should not be allowed to just blend in with normal people. That's the big mistake Lincoln made with the Confederates; they continued their war against equality for black people and other minorities for over 100 years and they still are; under various names like Moral Majority, Tea Party, MAGAs, etc. all vehemently against "Woke" which is equality and fairness; concepts still reviled today, in 2025, by the cult mrmbers.

"Your wake-up call was the failed prosecution of a former President and candidate for Presidency."

I wish I could disagree but you hit the nail! He was so guilty that I almost cannot comprehend how or why he isn't living in Leavenworth instead of the WH? How can a President who lost his reelection stage a coup and get away with it. If I have one major complaint about Biden that is it. And remember, he was still the President when it happened and, even after his own kids asked him to call out the National Guard; he just sat on his very fat ass, watching the insurrection on TV!

"According to a study published by the European University Institute in 2024, more than half of the surveyed expats said they don't plan to return to Russia, even if the war ended, and suggested that the Russian brain drain' may continue unless the country undergoes systematic political change."

So, the U.S.isn't that different from Russia.....where ignorance = patriotism and intellectuals are hated!
