"Why didn't the Portuguese authorities kill the suspected traffickers? Isn't that the protocol in dealing with "narco-terrorists" according to Dummkopf Trumpf?"

Because they're smarter than Trump. Now the Portuguese own a perfectly good submarine to re-purpose.

How much property do the Saudi Royals own in the U.S. They seem particularly attracted to
deals that somehow involve Trump.

Johnson climbed aboard the Trump train wreck and now he sounds scared.

Mike Johnson: "And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

LOL ~ Okey-dokey, sucker.

"The Republicans started this redistricting push, and now they are whining because their own tactics are being used against them?

And if I recall, they did so WITHOUT a referendum.

"

Is this a version of Chinese black-ops CIA?

It would appear (from his noteworthy absence) that even Peter Theil thought this half brother was a bad bet. Thus no coat tails.

Not the first brother who thought he had a shot at fame and fortune. Remember Billy Carter?

Also, does anybody here still remember the fake Bill of Sale for yellowcake?

That was all Cheney's doing.

LOL ~ I think Vlad just gave Trump the middle finger.

At least that's the way Trump will see it.

This on-again-off-again marriage is getting hilarious.

Sooner or later, it's going to come to blows.

Serious lacking in social graces, Trump will find some disgusting way to show his disrespect.

However, I'm inclined to think Cheney's family will have a private ceremony rather than let the funeral be turned into one of Trump's political vaudeville acts.

Plus, Trump would probably fire any member of his administration who still had some respect for Dick Cheney.

AU @ #43

"spoke out against Trump"

Cheney didn't redeem himself. He was all for a unitary executive with George W. at the helm and himself as the power behind the throne. That changed only when the power structure changed in D.C.

I think he still believed in a unitary executive. Just not somebody who is as tacky as Trump.

Apparently, Trump's message to swing the election with a cheap AI voice simulation fell flat.

I'll save my sympathy for Scooter Libby ~~ not the coward who let him take the fall.

Speculation is wide open. But Trump does follow a tried and true pattern, i.e. lying through his teeth over whatever scheme he comes up with.

It's what he does best.

Trump would have to issue an EO and then have it challenged through the courts all the way up to the Supremes. I can't image even a Trump appointed lower court judge signing off on that. If it was possible, Trump would have done that long ago.

No, I think he'll find a more insidious method, something backed up by highly speculative reasoning that would only pass muster with a cultist judge.

The FCC is also useful tool to Trump.

Actually, I'm surprised he hasn't gone after SNL.

Mocking Trump?

Ut Oh, Stormy Daniels might be in trouble.

I wonder how he's going to convince Justice Roberts that "Freedom of Speech" unconstitutional.

Or that mocking the President of the United States is a threat to national security and akin to treason.

It isn't illegal YET. But Trump's working on it.

Unlike a normal person, a short-sighted Trump never took into consideration that his incompetent choices were eventually going to make him look bad.

Don't be surprised if this story gets tagged as "FAKE NEWS" and/or "disgruntled employee" and fades into obscurity.

Nor would anybody be surprised to learn that this sort of occurrence is more common than not.

I certainly wouldn't vote for anyone with such a short fuse. Privileged or otherwise, her language and behavior is inexcusable. I hope this goes viral in South Carolina.

Blackmail is a useful tool for expecting donations. Although "Randy" Andy, who has signaled that he is willing to blow the lid off the Epstein investigation to the House committee rather than wait for a subpoena, has probably already cancelled his check to the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom.

Another one of Trump's nonsense distractions. Either that or Trump is using a false pretext to raid somebody's home. That would be more like his style.

Trump nominee. 'Nuff said.

Trump does not do well at these boring but obligatory occasions. My impression is that he just wanted to get it over with and get back to his deal making.
