So all the MAGA folk who have been all in for Noem up until today, what do they make of her now? How do you let someone else's whims and ego move you in a minute from blind support to "good riddance"? Any thoughts of your own?

I was billed by FedEx for a nearly $400 tariff (45%) it paid on my behalf for a foreign purchase I made that they delivered. So, do I get that back?

Inside Lindsey Graham’s Greenland Meltdown in Munich At the Munich Security Conference, American lawmakers struggled to reassure European allies who are still traumatized by Trump’s threats to invade Greenland. Lindsey Graham’s F-bombs didn’t help.

Forget Graham: This is a well-written summary of how Trump's actions re: Greenland have done absolutely nothing for the USA. Multiple formerly mutually beneficial partnerships are irreparably damaged and the US is no closer to "owning" Greenland. No pros, all cons.

Is there a list anywhere of things the Orange Turd actually *likes* -- other than himself and things/people that/who flatter him?

Has there ever been anyone anywhere who hates *so* many things?

The accusations by Republicans that Mr. Smith had weaponized the criminal justice system came as Mr. Trump’s own Justice Department has done exactly that in ways that have not been seen in a generation. (NYT)

"in a generation"?????????????????????????
