Hello James... Could You Imagine DJT As A 'Trigger-Puller' In A Front-Line Unit? ... I can't... I suspect that DJT would be 'Fragged' by those that would want to Survive...
Thank you, James Hall. So true what you’ve said. Congress needs to grow a sharp spine and take him down. He is destroying most people in one way or another. If the MAGA world doesn’t take him down, then I hope they’re all destroyed in the votes. I guess the billionaires are happily wallowing in more money, not caring about anyone being destroyed!
Shame on the Supreme Court - again! Bravo to principled, courageous Judge Ana Reyes, who had blocked the transgender ban saying, "...the cruel irony is that thousands of transgender service members have sacrificed - some risking their lives - to ensure for others the very equal protection rights the Military Ban seeks to deny them. The Court's opinion is long but its premise is simple. In the self-evident truth that "all people are created equal, ALL means ALL. Nothing more and certainly nothing less."
He needs to go, he has cost this country more than any other president before him. Life's, money, allies, you name it he's lost it or caused it to happen. He needs to be in prison along with the rest of his clowns 🤡
What’s most unbelievable is that his base thinks he’s the best president ever. Will the breaking of the economy even matter to them or make them see who he really is.
I'm not sure they can see past the bullshit he dishes out or he has them so scared of his revenge tactics that they will never see who he really is or they do, but are to scared to do anything.
The right wing has created an entire false reality, and the idiots and traitors that support Trump are all too eager to believe everything they're told.
I made my sign and went to my first protest last week! It was good, standing with fellow protesters and figuratively giving the finger to this completely unfit, totally corrupt, dishonorable shithead! I'll do it again next week!
So, DJT can ban the trans people in the military, but what about the rapes that happen man to woman in the military? Trans people can do the same jobs just as effectively! Banning them is wrong.
I wonder why no one is talking about Trump's refusal to put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in for the second time. Perhaps he had his fingers crossed. The difference between the video of the first time he took the oath to defend the Constitution and the second time is striking, but no one says anything. Has any other President in history not placed his hand on the Bible when they took the oath of office?
According to what I’ve been hearing, there is nothing anywhere in the Constitution or elsewhere that states the oath of office must be accompanied by a hand on the Bible to be binding. I don’t know if any other president has forgone the use of a Bible while being sworn into office. Seems to me t’s broken that oath over and over and over. Not sure a Bible would have made a difference or that he truly believes in god for that matter.
Your timing is hilarious!! I saw your like and was musing that of course he doesn’t believe in a traditional god, he IS god! Good one. Obviously great minds think the same? 🙃
Yes. In fact, when Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in upon the death of President McKinley, no one even thought to look for a Bible in the house to use. I believe one was used at the public swearing in, but the first one was the official one.
Neither Jefferson nor Coolidge used a Bible. John Quincy Adams swore on a Law Book, which he meant to represent the Constitution. Swearing ON anything, is not required in the Oath of Office for the President. It was something Washington did, and others have followed the tradition.
That same Bible abjures people from swearing on things, which is painfully ironic. The short-fingered vulgarian has no knowledge of, belief in, or respect for, the Christian Bible. I assume he just wasn't paying attention, because it wasn't important, and Melania didn't have the opportunity to poke him to remind him.
They raised the enlistment age limit from 35 to 41. I feel a draft is coming from the 5 time draft dodger and since our country is in shambles, India bombed Pakistan. WWIII seems eminent and that is exactly what he wants.
People seem to think that Donald is suffering from dementia. I think it’s a combination of his narcissism along with his age. Any experts out there have an opinion?
It just seems too convenient to ascribe it to dementia. I think he just a spiteful horrible, mentally ill old man. He’s making everyone suffer for his loss in 2020. His ego broke and he’s on a rampage
On Tuesday’s episode of the Donald Trump reality TV show, the president of the United States teased “a very, very big announcement … like, as big as it gets” in the coming days.
“I won’t tell you on what, but it’s… very positive,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “It’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, a very important subject.”
He initially hinted that it may be a trade deal, but also said it may not be a trade deal. Later, speaking at a Milken Institute event, Trump said, “It’s not about trade…it’s going to be a truly earth-shattering and positive development for this country.”
So, not a trade deal. But it’s big. And it’s coming soon. This Thursday or Friday. Or Monday, Trump said.
It was hard not to laugh as Trump, hosting the newly elected and exceptionally even-keeled Canadian prime minister, reverted to his network TV roots with the presidential equivalent of a tease before the commercial break: Stay tuned, America — what happens next will blow your mind!
This is all part of the show Trump and his advisers have been putting on over the past month. Trust us, deals are coming. Trust us, this economic pain is for your own good. Trust us, your kids don’t need as many toys as you think they do. Trust us (a bunch of ex-bankers and one bankrupt casino mogul), Wall Street’s opinion doesn’t matter.
Trust. Us.
That’s becoming a harder sell by the day.
The White House has produced a total of *checks notes* zero trade deals, or even concepts of a trade deal, in the month since Trump’s tariff regime has been in place. Trump also appears to have lied about receiving a call from Xi Jinping, China’s president, about trade negotiations — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said under oath Tuesday that no such talks had begun. (Update: As of Tuesday evening, officials said Bessent and the US trade representative would meet with their Chinese counterparts during a trip to Switzerland this week). And out of nowhere, Trump announced a vague plan for 100% tariffs on movies produced overseas — potentially opening a new front in his trade war that had, up until now, been limited to the exchange of goods, not services.
It’s no surprise, then, that business leaders aren’t super trusting right now.
While Trump and Co. wait for the world to bend the knee, the rest of the world has to do business blindfolded.
Many US importers have simply canceled shipments from China rather than pay the 145% tariffs that Trump is imposing on most Chinese imports. Cargo coming into the port of Los Angeles from China has fallen by half, which means shoppers can expect shortages on certain items and higher prices in just a matter of weeks.
That means it’s likely just a matter of weeks before consumers will face higher prices and shortages of certain items.
As the days drag on, with no major trade deals to alleviate the impact of tariffs, it’s worth questioning whether the dealmaker-in-chief actually wanted trade deals or just the spectacle of playing hardball with powerful heads of state and titans of industry.
During his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday, Trump said he could sign a couple dozen deals at any time and wished everyone would just chill with all the deal talk.
“I wish they’d… you know, stop asking, ‘How many deals are you signing this week?’ Because one day we’ll come and we’ll give you 100 deals.”
In other words: You know this business thing I told you I was the best at — this thing I supposedly wrote a book about? Yeah, don’t worry about that. The deals will come, or they won’t, and it will be everyone else’s fault if they don’t come together.
In another telling moment, a reporter asked whether there was anything the Canadian leader could say on Tuesday that would persuade Trump to reduce tariffs on Canadian goods.
“No,” Trump said.
“Why not?” the reporter asked.
“Just the way it is.”
Of course, it’s not just the way it is — it is a choice Trump made, premised on a false belief that the US has been the victim of Canada’s exploitative trade practices. (Yes, Canada! The world’s nicest neighbors.)
The reality is that the US and Canada have had a mutually beneficial trade relationship for decades. The reality is that our trade deficit with Canada is relatively tiny. The reality is that the US auto industry Trump claims to support depends deeply on free cross-border trade with Canada and Mexico.
That’s the same reality in which the US economy is contracting and America’s credibility as the cornerstone of global finance is being shaken.
It is not the same reality as the TV show variety Trump seems to live in.
We can only hope that the crack will become an earthquake that will swallow up the rotten, miserable cowards and facist/racists so we will never have to deal with them again

All very true. He and his losers need to go. Congress needs to grow a spine!
And the people that are helping him?Why do they seem like nothing going to happen to them?!
Hello James... Could You Imagine DJT As A 'Trigger-Puller' In A Front-Line Unit? ... I can't... I suspect that DJT would be 'Fragged' by those that would want to Survive...
or repeated "blanket parties."
Hello Donna... Do You Think That DJT Could Survive Even One?...
Thank you, James Hall. So true what you’ve said. Congress needs to grow a sharp spine and take him down. He is destroying most people in one way or another. If the MAGA world doesn’t take him down, then I hope they’re all destroyed in the votes. I guess the billionaires are happily wallowing in more money, not caring about anyone being destroyed!
Best comment EVER!
None of this. Not one thing. Ends well for Trump.
I hope to live to see the day when the Fuhrer shrivels and burns in his gluttony.
People just need to go back in the closet for a little bit longer, until we jail this corrupt administration!!
Keep doing what you’re doing, Mary

Sadly not one thing is ending well for us either.

Resist the Regime.

Mary..." rapes that happen man to woman in the military...???"...
Drumpf is a convicted rapist...albeit not a trans soldier...
He deserves to be totally & in forever BANNED himself ! Kismet
I’m with you, Lynn Cook. He must be jailed, he and his cronies.
We must end the tRump regime.
I wonder why no one is talking about Trump's refusal to put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in for the second time. Perhaps he had his fingers crossed.

Thanks Richard.... Didn't DJT just say that Upholding the U.S. Constitution was Optional?
Apache...Spot On !👍👍
Thanks Lynn... Do You Think Taking An Oath Means Anything To DJT?...
Surely you jest, kind Sir !
Or as my 1882 Welsh born father used to say...
" Do you know another good ' un ?"

After all he is god,right?
Your timing is hilarious!! I saw your like and was musing that of course he doesn’t believe in a traditional god, he IS god! Good one. Obviously great minds think the same? 🙃
It doesn't matter. Trump is a serial liar. Whether or not he had his hand on the bible is irrelevant.
True; had he put his hand on the Bible his behavior and “thinking” would have been no different.
Yes. In fact, when Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in upon the death of President McKinley, no one even thought to look for a Bible in the house to use. I believe one was used at the public swearing in, but the first one was the official one.

So when do they start the draft, the one that 47 avoided back in his time? :(
They raised the enlistment age limit from 35 to 41. I feel a draft is coming from the 5 time draft dodger and since our country is in shambles, India bombed Pakistan. WWIII seems eminent and that is exactly what he wants.
His first instinct is always wrong

He's still whining about the 2020 election. He can never admit to being wrong about anything.

Not a whole lot to hoot and holler about here, but thank you, Mary, for being with us and letting us know what’s really going on.
