Imagine being so daft that you think you can assassinate a religious leader, target multiple members of a country’s leadership, bomb critical infrastructure and military sites w/ numerous civilian casualties as a direct result and believe that a Middle Eastern country will acquiesce to your demands.

The DOW has taken a significant hit, falling from above 50,000 to around 47,500, due in large part to the U.S. - Iran conflict and its impact on energy markets. Maybe it’s time to revisit those things Pam Bondi told us to not to focus on!

I live in deep-red territory here in North Carolina. While waiting for a dental appointment, I overheard some locals talking about gas prices going up, but saying it’s fine because we can just take Venezuela’s gas. Mind boggling.

Where’s the meme with the kid saying “bull****” when I need it? Zero chances the person that wrote this is a Democrat. Check out this article from USA TODAY: I'm a Democrat. Trump's State of Union made me like him more. | Your Turn www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

usatoday.comI'm a Democrat. Trump's State of Union made me like him more. | Your TurnThis was the first State of the Union where I wasn't bored. I actually agreed with everything Trump said. And I appreciate his businessman's approach.

DHS’s Noem claimed in a press conference that the ICE shooting victim approached ICE with his 9mm gun. Where the F does she get that from. There are multiple angles that show the same thing. None of what Noem said la is remotely true. The victim was filing with his phone. He was murdered for helping

“All of my agencies doing what they can to keep the citizens safe if Walz won’t do it”-Pam Bondi. I’m curious whether “safe” means something different to Pam Bondi than it does to me. To me, “safe” doesn’t include beating someone while handcuffing them and then unloading 5 bullets into them.

Call it whatever he wants the move is territorial conquest by force. It involves the invasion, arming, and occupation of another country in clear violation of its sovereignty. Claiming it’s in the interest of the US or the Western Hemisphere is pure propaganda. It’s nothing more than a land grab.

BARTIROMO: How do you justify taking over a country when Denmark & Greenland have said they're not interested? BESSENT: Maria, the president has a very strong view on Western Hemisphere security & believes US should not outsource our natl security, He believes Greenland is essential for Golden Dome

100% agreed

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

To me that reads after the President of the United States invades an ally and essentially dissolves our partnership in NATO and NATO itself may cease to exist, and after he fractures our European alliances in turns our country into an outcast, then and only then will the GOP stand up to him.

Former GOP strategist Stuart Stevens says Republican senators are “compromised” and have become “Russian assets” for enabling Trump’s subservience to Putin.

When folks think back to Germany from 1939 to 1945 they only picture the populous and the government as one unified evil movement. We don’t wonder if there was a voting populous that was against that regime. How the US is going, those of us against Trump will also be grouped with MAGA, as seen here.

He’s clearly unhinged. These are ramblings. Congress refuses to accept it but for the first time, the US has an unfit president due to dementia or whatever is going on upstairs. Trump lobs fresh Greenland message blitz aimed at European leaders www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

usatoday.comTrump lobs fresh Greenland message blitz aimed at European leadersThe argument over Greenland has threatened to reignite a trade war with Europe and upend the NATO alliance that underpins Western security.

Trumps claims that the DOJ was always out to get him was always pure nonsense. They’d investigate legitimate crimes but it didn’t seem targeted. Trumps DOJ is the exact opposite. It’s clearly political and targeted and does whatever Trump wants. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

usatoday.comPowell says Federal Reserve hit with DOJ subpoenas, indictment threat"The Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas," Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Jan. 11.

Its deeply troubling that in the U.S. we have a leader acting unilaterally without congressional approval to attack a sovereign nation that posed no direct threat to our national security. That kind of unchecked executive action undermines the Constitution and pushes us toward authoritarian rule.

Serious question. Why is a professional football (soccer) organization, which has no role on the global political stage, giving a fabricated “peace” award to a man whose administration is actively accused of committing war crimes?

The lengths some organizations will go to in order to curry favor with Trump defy logic. He hasn’t even been awarded this so-called “peace” prize yet, but it’s painfully obvious who FIFA is trying to appease. apnews.com/article/fifa...

Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands. During the current lapse in funding, the vast majority of VA benefits and services will continue uninterrupted, but the government shutdown is not without consequences to VA.

Translation: We are feeling the pinch from the mass cancellations. We will now shift focus and walk the line between MAGA and the more moderate voice to try to appease both sides, but at the same time, not admitting fault. apnews.com/article/jimm...

So just one complaint from someone in the administration is enough to make them change their entire editing approach? The speed at which television media, especially CBS and ABC, rush to appease Trump is alarming. apnews.com/article/cbs-...

The level of toxicity and hate coming from MAGA is uncanny. The news reported on the unlawful attack by our government on a drug boat that killed everyone onboard, despite there being no signs of a threat to U.S. personnel. MAGA supporters are applauding the action as if it were acceptable.

Labeling them as “narcoterrorists” does not automatically make them lawful military targets, and there’s no armed conflict with Venezuela or that gang. The Coast Guard regularly interdicts drug boats under identical circumstances in international waters with foreign navy collaboration.

Trump has left the U.S. on shaky ground, straining relationships with our closest allies and positioning America as a rival to nations like Germany, Canada, the UK, and France. Meanwhile the other side appear completely in step and supporting of each other. We look weak. apnews.com/article/chin...
