"To the Supreme Court and the GOP, the answer to any gun question is MORE.

Last week the Supreme Court issued another decision on guns, the latest in a line whose animating principle can be summed up in one word: MORE. More guns, in more places, in more people’s hands."

~ Paul Waldman

Let me guess: it's because they're pro-life, right? They want gunsgunsguns everywhere because they're pro-life. Right?

It is going to be really weird hearing Trump going on about “the weaponized justice system” and “the witch hunt” at his rallies from now on.

Could someone from the American press please ask Trump, if Biden’s son is a “hostage” too?

@randahl @benroyce Haley is only competent by comparison. She is just as bad if not worse though because she is not demented. And secondly, politics has always been a circus, it was just confined by the idea of decorum. Social Media anonymity did away with that. Nazis are free to be Nazis online and elsewhere because they are masked.

“The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment."

May 29, 2019 – Special Counsel Robert Mueller finished his report and then resigned from his investigative position, transferring the responsibility of holding Trump accountable to Congress. “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller said. “We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.”

Trump toot or truth or poot or whatever they call it “I have just recently been told who the witness is today. This is unprecedented, no time for lawyers to prepare,” the former president wrote. “No Judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way. He is CROOKED & HIGHLY CONFLICTED, even taking away my First Amendment Rights. Now he’s threatening me with JAIL, & THEY HAVE NO CASE.”

    "Judge Merchan has been more than deferential to Trump's status as a former president and candidate. If Judge Merchan fails to punish future violations with confinement, Trump will have established that he is above the law. That is an exception our democracy cannot abide. However difficult and unsettling imprisoning a former president will be, the alternative would be far worse."

    For 174 days, Speaker Mike Johnson has been speaker of the house. And throughout these 174 days, Ukraine has been bombed extensively, and thousands of Ukrainians have died, entire towns have been leveled to the ground, and the Ukrainian energy infrastructure has been demolished.

    And now — after 174 days — Mike Johnson happily announces “his plan” to stop blocking the vote on military aid to Ukraine. As if HE was a force for good.

    He is not. He is just a fraud who ran out of options to delay.
