So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.

She has been on a govt salary for years.

Birth of a MAGA Conspiracy Theory

Ordinarily, I wouldn't speculate like this, but Trumpworld went there first. Anyway, the question is why the FBI would plan to arrive at Mar-a-Lago when Trump wasn't there if they were planning to assassinate him. The reason is crystal clear if you give it a second's thought. They were planning to hit Melania. See, without Melania - "light of Trump's life and fire of his loins" - Trump would be too devastated to continue running for president. A shattered man, happy to retire to his "princedom by the sea" to mourn.

You might ask, if they're going to kill someone, why not Trump himself? Biden would have immunity, wouldn't he? He wouldn't. It's okay for a president to kill a rival, but former presidents have reverse immunity. They can't be killed for any reason. Plus, the Supreme court hasn't ruled on immunity yet. It's possible that they'll rule that Republican presidents, if they're treated worse than any president in history - including Lincoln - can kill anyone they want. Because the issue of a Democratic president who's been treated better than anyone in history - including Lincoln - was not before the court, they declined to address the question.

Did you have to say “fire of his loins?” Ick.

It made me a little nauseated too. I put it in quotation marks because it's from the first chapter of Lolita (Nabokov) and I wanted to leave an Easter egg for my Nabokov stans.

If only Osama bin Laden had thought to get elected POTUS first, *then* attack the World Trade Center.

It occurred to me that perhaps the FBI intended to kill assassinate Trump by putting poison (like the kinds the Russians are so fond of) on his toothbrush. But then I remembered Trump holds his teeth in his hands when he brushes them and then rinses them off before returning them to his mouth. So that might not work.

Wasn't "fire of one's loins" a euphemism for Gonorrhea?

Very rational analysis. However we have to learn the world and language of Roy Cohn and Roger Stone. Winning. At all costs or methods. Winning is all that matters. Deception is just a tool. Mix the lies (Bad Faith) with the facts (Good Faith) in the propaganda to give the lies a tiny bit of credibility. That the friendly/gullible Press can amplify. Tricks of all kinds, on friends and foes, are in play, every day. Stone and Bannon and the core of Trump World are plotting cons and tricks on MAGAs…

Burke's avatar

You can't fight Bad Faith with reason. But you can expose it for what it is. This takes skepticism. Assume that every word from Trump World is carefully designed to DECEIVE. And then shine a bright light on the con.

I’ll give Donald Trump credit for one thing. When he first won an election, I Googled “how to run for office.”
