The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Would also think now would be a good time for the same media folks who beat the β€œBiden is old and feeble” drumbeat to do similarly.

It cannot be repeated enough that branding immigrants as criminals responsible for bringing social ills to the U.S. is as American as apple pie.
Look at this cartoon from 1903.
Those rats in the water are the ancestors of Greg Bovino, Stephen Miller and Howard Lutnick, among many others.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Because nothing suggests cognitive competence like being repeatedly tested for it.

That changes now. The new CBS Evening News starts Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

Stephen Miller rewrites history in wild rant as he melts down about immigration Miller has largely been credited with spearheading the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policy

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Miller knows exactly what he’s doing. The last couple of takes β€” including the Sinatra/ Martin one β€”have been so epically ahistorical that it’s hard to believe he really doesn’t know. (Even though he went to Duke. 😜) www.irishstar.com/news/politic...
