Hannity thinks criticism of Katie Zacharia is unfair. Hey, Sean, incompetents are NOT a protected class. In related news, we have a new unit of time measure - the Zacharia - that's about half a Scaramucci.

Trump is particularly vexed about Pillay's Peace Prize because Obama won a Nobel Peace prize early in his first term. "It's not fair. The black guy got a swell prize and I didn't." Hearing him whine makes fingernails on a chalkboard sound like a lullaby.

I'm pleased I've found a local group of activists, well organized with regular events. Tue and Sat mornings are our protest celebrations on a local pedestrian overpass. If you live in Phoenix' East Valley, check it out.

Ceasefire’s going about as well as a Trump casino. I seem to remember Kamala Harris saying something about dictators eating Trump for lunch. They sure chewed him up and spit him out on this one. Art of the deal, indeed.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about keeping American families safe. If he did, he wouldn’t gut funding for local law enforcement, background checks, and critical crime fighting programs. It’s clear that public safety is not a priority, and Americans shouldn't trust this White House to keep them safe.

So Thun tells Trump the Republican Senate caucus will go along with a unanimity vote on the release the Epstein files. "The vote is trending that way, anyhow, and their unanimity will give them cover from your wrath." I think that's why Trump flipped. But full unedited files will not be released.

The MAGA voters said they'd have no problem with broad daylight murder on 5th Avenue. Nor did felony conviction deter them. Now that Trump's name might be on Epstein's guest list, screwing little girls is suddenly too much to swallow? Sorry, I really didn't think MAGA would choke on that.

Michelle O was right to stay away from the inauguration. Ex-prexys ought all have stayed home. A very public snub is nothing compared to the insults the public suffered J6. Showing up was a nod to normality. Things ain't normal. Don't send that message.

Mike Pence should listen to his "mother". He should have stayed home, but he showed up to celebrate the re-ascension of the guy who urged his hanging. That just screams to the world, "It's OK what he did." And signals to Trump, "You have the right to abuse me without limit." How shameful!
