Can we get a swan song for J.D. Vance's marriage after he did some organ grinding in public with Charlie Kirk's widowed wife.

That performance made me start wondering if it was Peter Thiel who had Charlie killed.

Food for thought. J.D. and Erika would make beautiful political music together for 2028.

"Your guess is as good as ours."

My guess is he saw his own reflection and was horrified by how old he looks, turkey waddle and all.

So naturally, it's the pool's fault.

I stand corrected. Nonetheless, the fact remains that Obama's administrations reach a height of excellence that has earned him eternal respect.

REDIAL

"That is the only objective."

Short term perhaps. But giving Russia a permission slip to start WWIII in Eastern Europe hardly defines the word "Peace."

Putin in still intent on creating his own legacy as a glorious leader who restored the U.S.S.R. to its former power and glory.

And if all of Europe stands in his way, so be it.

RIGHT/TRITE

Unfortunately, the ACA is better known by a name that sends shivers of vindictive hatred down Trump's spine.

OBAMA actually accomplished "signature legislation" and then went on to earn a Nobel Peace Prize while, at the same time, managed international and domestic challenges with aplomb and dignity, a character trait that Trump could never comprehend in a lifetime.

In fact, Barack Obama, out of office lo these many years, is still more popular than Trump.

And for that, Obama and all that he accomplished MUST BE DESTROYED.

And, Yes, Trump really is that snotnosed petty.

Trump doesn't have a benevolent bone in his body. If he gets away with this two-year extension, he'll try to drop the hammer on the ACA faster than you can blink an eye.

Remember, Trump is extremely jealous of Barack Obama (signature legislation, Nobel Prize, warm, loving family, etc.) and is on a hate-filled diabolical mission to erase Obama's name from history.

Trump cannot tolerate anybody who is better than himself.

Now that it's been mentioned, Trump can't even tolerate anyone who is taller than himself. (Remember the lifts in his shoes and his out-of-control half-gallop town the exit ramp.

Trump is the epitome of insecurity.

"until after the midterms"

Flashing red WARNING signs from Donald Trump, a compulsive liar, written all over that!

Trump is just trying to stop the blue wave from taking over the House and Senate majority. By making this one little concession, he's counting on voters have short memories when they vote in the midterms.

Let's get to the real point.

Who in their right mind would agree to give Russia a permission slip to start World War III in Europe?"

Because that's what this so-called "deal"" amounts to.

The answer is: NOBODY

Conclusion: Trump has a serious mental condition. He and Putin are now engaged in the original plan to conquer, divide and control entire hemispheres.

"preparing the way for a larger war in the future."

How obvious can it be?

Putin hasn't given up on his own legacy to be the leader who restores the U.S.S.R. to its former power and glory. He'd really like to have all of Eastern Europe if he could.

Trump's "Inferior-to-Obama" complex sticks out a mile.

She certainly has made a mess out of the one thing Trump fears the most . . . the Epstein Files.

It will be interesting to see what happens if/when some judge asks her to explain the "new evidence" she's using to block the release of the Epstein Files. The whole "new evidence" thing sounds too contrived to be true.

DOC

He claimed it was just curiosity . . . which, as the old saying goes, killed the cat.

A MONSON @ #6

Trump would use that Veto pen with abandonment.

While I don't disagree with you, the majority in Congress would have to be veto proof.

On the chance that might happen, I would suggest that Congress opt immediately for Impeachment for both Trump and Vance right after the mid-terms.

That would leave either Johnson or Jeffries next in line. Best case scenario would be Jeffries.

So, let's see. What can Trump do to save his staunch but criminal ally from 27 years in prison.

Maybe he could ask the DOJ, vis-a-vie the FBI, to fabricate a horrible crime that Bolsonaro committed while in the USA and ask that Bolsonaro be extradited to the USA, tried, convicted and sentenced to life without parole.

What horrible crime, you ask?

Well, in you recall, Bolsonaro spent a long time hiding out at Mar-a-Lago before he suddenly disappeared to somewhere else, parts unknown. Trump could claim that he later learned that Bolsonaro was hiding out on Jeffrey Epstein Island of Ill Repute and even assisted Epstein sex trafficking children. And for that, he should be extradited to the United States to pay for his crime.

LOL ~ the rest of the scam, of course, would write itself.

Anybody else got a better idea?

AU @ #2

At his age, every move he makes probably hurts somewhere.

California wins!

NEWSOME FOR PRESIDENT!

"delivered on many of the promises he was elected to enact" -- from border security to ending taxes on tips to "affordability issues." ...

All of which pales in comparison to the fact that he has spent most of his time trying to destroy democracy, in an obvious pursuit of an autocratic form of government

All that while enriching himself and his family enormously, adding trillions to the national debt, endless petty pursuits of his "so called" enemies, and other endless attempts to destroy health care for millions of people. The list of Trump's "global" anti-American actives, including his stupid tariffs, goes on interminably, none of which were included in his "so called" promises.

Trump is the very definition of a home-grown terrorist on a mission to destroy everything and everybody who stands in his way.

MTG's role as Trump's echo chamber in the House of Representatives has hurt a lot of people, including members of her own party, when Trump blew the dog whistle. And, like Trump, she did it with vicious gusto, even exceeding that of Trump's own.

I don't apologize for hoping she comes to a bad end . . . any more than I would for putting a rabid dog out of its misery.

Oh, woe is me ~ MTG is having a pity party. (Sob, sob)

You could call Trump's endorsements of late an albatross of doom.

But I think there's more to it than that. Congress desperately needs to go on record for sure to protect themselves, all the while knowing that Mike Johnson's 8-week stall has given Trump plenty of time to render the Epstein files

1) nearly useless for indictments, or

2) Trump will find some lame excuse to veto.

Trump didn't do an about face for no reason. Knowing him, "the fix" (whatever that may be) is in.

I can't believe the GOP majority cult members have suddenly grown a conscience.

Chances are their motive, all or in part, is about getting re-elected. They can read the poll numbers for themselves and it doesn't look good for the midterms.

However, they may be a little late for the party. Their past ugliness on behalf of Donald Trump has already taken hold.

IOW, she's reaping what she sowed. It's pretty nervy of her now to expect help.

So far, he hasn't got around to offing the NUMBER 1 terrorist ~~ HIMSELF!

Watching Trump make decisions is like watching a bouncing ball.

REDIAL

Hope springs eternal.
