NEW: Pardon seekers are routinely being asked to pay $1m+ to lobbyists & lawyers claiming access to Trump, often with bonuses if clemency is granted.
I investigated the Trump Pardon Industrial Complex, & detailed the backstory behind 1 interesting pardon.
Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.
i feel like north korea looks at these guys and tells them theyre laying it on a bit thick
These people are sociopaths.
Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'

What he means by "involved" is that he wants bribes and payment to back a particular faction like he did with Venezuelan oil, the proceeds of which are sitting in private bank accounts in the UAE.

Remind me: when you bomb an elementary school, lure the survivors into a false sense of safety, and then bomb the survivors, leaving behind dozens and dozens of dead school children... are you the good guys?
it's a real achievement to develop a policy that so many macroeconomists could agree on
Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.
They’re still lying to us.

And: "we had a very stupid and incompetent leader in this White House for four years who gave away many of our best weapons for nothing, for free, to another country very far away by the name of Ukraine."
Her name will live in infamy as one of the worst human beings to ever serve in the White House
Pure godless evil.
The authority that Trump has asserted in taking America to war against Iran is, like many of his other power grabs, an expression of the very tyranny the Framers were seeking to prevent. “Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young congressman named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.
The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I’ve never seen this much weakness and insecurity belched out in such a short time. What a sad, awful excuse for a human being. Just pathetic.
A cartoon of a news report. The picture shows a government official doing a press conference flanked by goons. The headline reads “A man attacked federal bullets with his body” Underneath the picture is a quote saying “those bullets had families”

Hours after President Donald Trump launched his attack on Iran, he called on one of his favorite influencers—the far-right activist Laura Loomer—to bask in her praise. "I said it's a great job and people all around the world are cheering you on," Loomer told the FT. "He's making us proud to be American."
Donald Trump turned to his Emotional Support Bigot, Laura Loomer.
A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.
Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.
The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.
Pretty fitting given the people in charge of things that basically every attempted official justification for what the US was going for in Iran and why they hadn't foreseen any of the extremely foreseeable consequences is basically at the level of something you'd hear during a field sobriety stop.
Man, just straight up theft.
Well put set of questions
it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.
Exactly right: “We’re long past the point at which there are neutral legal principles that can be deployed to persuasively reconcile all of the Court’s behavior … It makes the Court at least look like what so many regularly accuse it of being: a font of partisan political power, and not much more.”
Trump: "Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra.”
While advocates have spent YEARS screaming about the mostly-irrelevant 1994 Crime Bill, the Prison Litigation Reform Act (the law at issue here) quietly grinds away, shielding our brutal prison system from whole swathes of accountability, almost completely ignored.
The Secretary of Defense calling rules of engagement stupid should be an immediately impeachable, if not criminal, offense.
Donald Trump can't even pretend to explain the plan for Iran: defector.com/donald-trump...
“Constitution destroyed in plane crash” feels like a VEEP joke that they scrapped for going too far.
