  1. Now that’s real humanitarian caring!

    BTW - How many are vets?

    Better yet, I’m sure they are all of sound mind and body. Send them to the fields to pick produce in place of migrants. America’s new indentured servant class.

    Perhaps he’ll send them to the same destination as the Gaza residents.

  2. BTW, when did MAGA become MARA? Is making the country rich really what most Americans want / support?

    Doesn’t this imply a return to colonialism!? Oh yeh - the grounds for wanting/taking Greenland, Panama, Canada, Gaza, et al?

    Nationalism begets Imperialism which begets world conflict/world war!

  3. So let me get this straight.

    1. Trump wants to move government licensing (& patents) to a profit sharing system (“Make America Rich Again…”).

    2. His steps are now to put growing US coffers over national security.

    3. Gov’t motive will be profit over regulation, safety, claims fairness, etc.

  4. Garcia: It’s a complete joke that Republicans claim they want transparency. It’s Trump who’s involved in a massive cover-up. It’s Bondi, who apparently has the files on her desk, who’s involved in a massive cover-up...

  5. The corp buy-backs have begun. No surprise here! Positive impact to the stock market with no benefit to the average consumer.

    As the income gap has greatly widened, income tax cuts for the rich / big business simply results in stock buy-backs, increased executive pay/bonuses and company bottom lines. Today trickle-down is absolutely a false narrative. Don’t be fooled again. Think, baby, think.

  6. Wolff: This is a key issue right now in the way the White House is looking at the Epstein scandal.

    The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Donald Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the P*ssy Committee.

    The Committee consisted of their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.

  7. Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable.

    By February, some golden urns on the mantle.

    April, gold adornments appear on the walls.

    By July, it's gold everywhere.

    Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.

  8. We are rapidly becoming one of the most stupid nations in the world.

    Evidenced by a MAGA congress (esp Senate) that is complicit and has abdicated all of its constitutional responsibilities - putting its fecklessness in the world’s showroom window!

    This is “Greatness”?
