Factcheck from DC resident: False I do however know people who work on the Hill and feared for their lives on January 6th.

Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

At a campaign rally on Sunday, President Trump disparaged Norway to express his irritation over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Norwegian government officials have repeatedly said that they do not have influence over who is awarded the Peace Prize. nyti.ms/4zfrGFA

The funny thing is that he's upset that Obama compared his ersatz Disney Versailles to what he thinks is a low end chain restaurant while all the Fox flunkies (and some of the MSM too) are all clutching their pearls over Obama making fun of the Real Americans who love that low end chain restaurant.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.

Same play as last week’s complaint against former FBI officials: charge first, figure out whether you can get an indictment from a skeptical DC grand jury later www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Trump throwing a democratic Taiwan to the communist Chinese wolves The only commie-lover around here is Trump

Trump: "Look, if we had smart presidents, the Taiwan problem with China wouldn't exist. Nobody would care. They stole our chip business. All of it. 100 percent."

You have to remember that this is a person who only learned last month that the word dumb is spelled with a b so you can see why he would think that.

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Trump pushes gutter racism: "The guy in Michigan is pretty bad too -- Mohammed, as I call him ... if you have any question about somebody from that part of the world's name, just call him 'Mohammed,' you'll be right 64% of the time."

President Obama: There seems to be "no line" Vivek Ramaswamy will not cross. "There's a decency that we should expect out of our public officials. And I don't know what's happened where the standards of behavior have gotten so low that somebody can run an ad like that."

Sternenko is a credible person. Elon Musk has been found to have a pathological disregard for the truth and repeatedly gives perjured testimony under oath. Who would you believe? In any event, the truth is easily discernible through objective means.

Here's Melania Trump's senior advisor Marc Beckman turning up on Kremlin TV's Вести program to tout Melania's miraculous brokering of peace between Russia and Ukraine so that a Russian-occupied Ukrainian city could be resupplied. He says that Melania has "wonderful relations with the Kremlin," too.

Say @marypeltola.com? Did YOU know that Trump is stealing Alaska's oil and giving it to Russia?

Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out. And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope. Literally just ... inviting them in. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Elon Musk has now issued his fourth explanation for his actions in throttling StarLink and StarShield. Note that each of his explanations is inconsistent with its predecessor. And this one focuses on Ukraine supposedly violating its terms of service. If it did, that's an easily ascertainable fact.

This (ugly) ruling only raises the stakes of the (already massively important) Barbosa da Cunha case #SCOTUS will hear this term. Now, if the justices side with the government on the statutory question presented there, they’ll have to also take up and resolve the due process question presented here.
