THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

“our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians.” If the U.S. military forces suffered those kind of damages under a Democratic admin, Congress would impeach the Defense Secretary and lot more.

Great success!

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

There’s a lot going on right now, and Susan Collins is hoping voters won’t notice that she was the deciding vote in confirming another anti-abortion Trump judge to a lifetime appointment.
