I really hope that the Democrats learn from their previous issues and run somebody less conservative for president, next time. (Assuming that there is a next time.)

The US Treasure Secretary seems to be a little uninformed, describing Denmark as “irrelevant”.
After all, 100% of their precious Mounjaro is made in Denmark…

I'm not sure why it took them this long to stand up against the administration. His attacks against churches, hospitals, and schools isn't new.
"'We are troubled by threats against the sanctity of houses of worship and the special nature of hospitals and schools,' the bishops said in a special message, the first of its kind in 12 years."

"Yet what matters isn’t the specific phrases, but the overall message: Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize. Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland."

Love how Gavin Newsom is trolling Trump, but that alone does not make him viable as a Presidential Candidate. IMHO, he is not at all the best choice to be President of the USA. He has the liberal glow, but really inside he is a neo-liberal that works for the billionaires, not the rest of us.

"So it’s not enough to equate Trump’s legions to the Gestapo or the Klan. (I’ve done both.) He also is the 21st-century version of Attila or Genghis Khan, heading a horde that is defined by an exterminationist loathing of cities and all that they stand for and promote. Their diversity, their toleration, their culture, their solidarity across racial and other lines—all are threats to the horde’s and its ruler’s autocratic monoculture. On the streets, the horde’s loathing manifests as indifference (at least) to the loss of city dwellers’ lives.
As it is the 21st century, and as we have an 18th-century Constitution, Trump’s impulse for city sacking Š la Attila is constrained by laws and customs, but he’s plainly determined to find ways around as many of those constraints as he possibly can. Correspondingly, a good share of the fear he’s engendered all across America has an ancient pedigree: It’s the fear of the barbarians at the gates."

It’s quite possible there’s not one thing that will stop Trump: pictures of dead US Service men and women.
I have a feeling that will change things really quickly.

Donald Trump being a loser isn’t exactly new but he’s really set himself up for loss, regardless what happens with Greenland. Either he loses any conflict because he can’t stand to see the dead soldiers coming home or he loses because the USA will be absolutely shunned by their former partners.
He loses either way.

So, Gableman's argument is that if he isn't allowed to pick which judges hear his case, it is a violation of due process? I don't think that is the way the law is meant to work.
"Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman says his due process rights have been denied during the ongoing fallout of his investigation of the 2020 presidential election."

It sounds like there was another ICE shooting today but there's almost nothing known about what happened.
"The individual, who has not been identified, was shot in southern Pima County near milepost 15 of West Arivaca Road at around 7:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Santa Rita Fire District. The fire department said it transported the person in critical condition."

Governments like Spain and France issued Letters of Marque, because getting private citizens to harass enemy shipping was cheaper than raising a large navy and there was a level of plausible deniability but the US has a ridiculously bloated military budget and the GOP is very open about not caring about American laws or international treaties. What's the point?

The orange toddler cares a lot more about terrorizing Americans than he does about celebrating Christmas.
"Florida's Catholic bishops appealed to President Donald Trump on Monday to pause immigration enforcement activities during the Christmas holidays. The White House, in response, said it would be business as usual."

They released the video that Johnathan Ross filmed of him killing Renee Good in Minneapolis.
"A DHS official confirmed the video, obtained by CNN, was recorded on the agent’s cellphone camera; the video was originally obtained by the conservative Minnesota media outlet Alpha News."
