BREAKING: Trump can now be arrested for SCOTUS contempt. Trump violated and ignored the unanimous Supreme Court order, and according to the law, he can be escorted in handcuffs by U.S. Marshals out of the White House and placed in federal custody pending trial.
Go back and read Paul Kennedy's "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers". The USA made a lot of money exploring low wages; then, exploring the tooling expertise of engineers from China. That money went into wars. Trump is just an idiot that is precipitating the USA's fall.
Oh, the irony of China being the good guy! That's what you get when you have a convicted con artist throwing shit all over everything everywhere.

A country does not address commercial deficit with tariffs. The United States Deficit is only around 140 billion dollars. The U.S. can find that amount easily. For example, tax the rich and voilá!
Data venia, Your Honorable Judge, I'd like to be excused of this insanity that the world has become, I plead for mercy.
They are on top of the world! Nothing is gonna stop them now, short of a civil levant - and even for that, it may be too late..
Thank you.
Thank you. The United States, in my opinion, has been severely endangered by now that I think it may take years to recover.
Serious question: why is this effective? What does it accomplish? Aren't there other ways to achieve something?
Serious question: could someone explain to me why holding the floor and talking for hours is effective? What does it accomplish?
The media is rapidly going independent. I see so many great journalists who are relying on paid Substack subscriptions. Problem is, if we subscribe to a lot of them, it's expensive.
An idea. A group of journalists band together to offer a group subscription to all. I'm in and will pay well.
WELKER: Do you believe that Ratcliffe and Gabbard were truthful when they testified before your committee?
BENNET: No. I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee.
This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
Pete Hegseth's younger brother is serving in a key position inside the Pentagon as a DHS liaison and senior adviser.
Phil Hegseth's past experience includes founding his own podcast production company and working on social media and podcasts at The Hudson Institute. apnews.com/article/hegs...
A viewer called in feeling hopeless. That’s exactly what Donald Trump wants.
You still have a voice. You still have a vote. You need to use it.
The people of the United States of America-MAGA have no idea how dangerous this is for them and the world. The other people are not sleeping since the election.
I do too call for everybody to resign. Since that is never gonna happen, members of the Congress, such as Sen. Andy Kim, have the power to impeach and remove them.
I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.
If this were Biden and Harris, Republicans would scream "impeach and remove" at the top of their lungs. This should be no different. Impeach and remove Trump and Vance immediately. This scandal warrants immediate action. We need arrests, firings, demands for resignations. NOW. Loudly, constantly.
I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
Goldberg: "I thought to myself, I guess they're lucky they didn't sent this to a Houthi by mistake, or to a foreign diplomat."
Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.
Credit where it’s due: the Democrats are doing a smart, aggressive, focused job of playing up the Trump-Hegseth scandal. Remember, your job as a political activist is to step up and amplify the Democrats, not to sit back and grade their work. So go amplify them.
Sorry, but this sends the wrong message that the journalist was trying to "invade" the chat group. As per his report, he didn't even know the talks were going on. He reports that he was added to the group, and then sent the classified files.
Enough with "hearings". I understand the need to investigate. BUT, when the "hearings" are just that, with no consequence, no accoutability....
