You can bet the oil companies that were give 100M+ barrels of SPR oil for free to sell with a promise to return them in two years will receive a long extension on the return. I'll even throw in a 50/50 shot at a second extension, followed by forgiveness.

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

Trump doesn't just fancy himself a King. He thinks he's a god - infallible, omniscient, and even omnipresent giving his 24/7 media coverage.

Wow.

There is no way you can watch the latest gaggle with Trump on Air Force One and not weep for how far our nation has fallen, and weep for how we’ve failed our wives and daughters.

Thoughts and prayers to Cosplay Cop Kristi who had to brave the dogs, farmer’s markets, capybaras, and marathon runners of Portland this week.

Trump deploying the US Military to cities seems like a distraction when he's already deployed ICE which looks an awful lot like a Military to me.

The Fed Govt is predicted to collect $300B in tariffs this year. In the last two DAYS, the federal debt went up $355B. So no, the tariffs are not a windfall for rebates, tax cuts and new spending.

I don't agree with Pete Hegseth, but that was a great speech. Then Trump gets up and ramble ramble me me me me me ramble me me me.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

Don't underestimate the chilling effect on Democratic voting the administrations' ramped up war on radical left Democrats has. 90 million people didn't bother to vote in the last presidential election. How many millions might skip voting or campaigning or donating just to not risk any trouble?

The US Govt on average has borrowed ~$15B/day, every day, since August 1st. That is roughly the annual govt budget for Costa Rica. Every day. Unrelated Fun Fact: Costa Rica gets ~95% of their power from renewable resources, mostly hydro.

The nation average price for diesel is higher today than it was a year ago according to AAA.

I just realized the Trump Admin solved the trolly problem. If the administration or any one of their supporters are on the tracks about to get run over, but you could switch the tracks and hit an infinite number of people of color or poor people or "others" in general, they say pull the lever.

Trump’s first choice would be to remain President/King after this term. But he might see the ultimate power move of launching total nuclear war as irresistible.

I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason (Trump attempted a coup in 2021 so miss me with the false equivalences)

No tax on tips and overtime is really no federal income tax on tips and overtime. You'll still pay the 6.2% SS Tax, the 1.45% Medicare Tax, and State Income Tax.
