    I'm surprised that CCOOTWH didn't have Treasury drop it off in bags of pennies. Missed opportunity.

    honestly i am surprised he actually had the funds.

    Funds were already in an escrow account while the original award was under appeal. He could have had the $5.6M dropped off in pennies and then had the escrow account money, minus the interest, wired back to him, probably. Kaitlin Collins should ask CCOOTWH what impact the paying of $5.6M as an adjudicated sex offender feels like and what impact it may have had on his hamburder and Diet Coke purchasing, and whether he feels a pinch like his fellow 'Murikkkans. That'd be a good question to ask.


    i think she values her access too much to ask something like that.

     Anyone watching Todd Stenche's confirmation hearing? I'm sure there are some who would be proud to work for him. This guy gets confirmed, forget about "free and fair elections". Hee Hawley is a spectacle. Good lord. What a country.

    And Ted Crud gets to close out the hearing by shouting his harangue but not a question. Great theater.

    ICYMI: President Donald Trump's increased military presence at the southwest border has cost about $2.64 billion, pulling money from construction projects, facility upkeep and service member duty-station moves, according to a Government Accountability Office report released this week.

    BTW, I feel like the fact that the Iran war is now being treated as a side issue by Americans now, as it escalates out of control, lol. Wtf is up with that? I would never contribute to any kind of ratings for Trump's delusional speeches, so I don't what he said about this, of anything (I only read about his fascist comments about elections so far), but why does it seem like America isn't reacting to this batshit crazy situation in Iran in a rational way?????? It is looking like some form of denial on some levels, from the outside looking in.

    It's really unexplainable. 

    I don't know this for a fact but a reporter I follow on Bluesky said that he watched Fox & Friends this am for an hour and they did not mention the speech or election fraud at all. Still nervous about that lawsuit settlement I guess.

    I guess the good news is that the major networks didn't even cover that piece of shit speech. Has this ever happened before where the POTUS has a "major announcement" that gets ignored by the ABC/CBS/NBC? I know Fox aired it and the trio also aired it on their apps or sister networks but it's fucking insane.

    I caught a bit of it in some clips and it was as expected. He was unprepared, hoarse, rambling, etc., pretty pathetic.

    i think most americans have come to realize that the election in 2024 was stolen, oligarchs are running the show, nobody is coming to save us, and none of this will end until the grim reaper comes for trump. it is a pretty helpless feeling to be honest. most of us just ignore him now because our anger doesn't change anything. congress doesn't change anything. the supreme court doesn't change anything, and the system does not work. all our anger does is hurt ourselves and take years off of our own lives. most of us ignore him and hope for the best at this point.

    I go back and forth between trump is going to try and steal the election to trump is just going through his little narcissistic rage sessions that his inner circle can't control.

    The GOP is going to get absolutely throttled in November.

    with establishment dems shitting all over progressives i doubt it. the dems will divide themselves and the gop could still eke out a win through attrition. 

    maga became the gop, and the dems are going to throw out the progressives because dem leadership is owned by aipac and progressives will not budge on israel. aipac needs to go, or establishment dem leadership needs to go.

    i do not believe it is going to be the throttling everyone seems to think it is going to be. otherwise the gop would be flailing and distancing from trump. most are staying close to him at this point.

    The Bureau of Land Management is rewriting rules for ranching on public lands to allow more livestock grazing in the West.

    Overgrazing has degraded public lands, and the overhaul would expand the practice, rangeland experts say.

    I go back and forth between trump is going to try and steal the election to trump is just going through his little narcissistic rage sessions that his inner circle can't control.

    The GOP is going to get absolutely throttled in November.
    with establishment dems shitting all over progressives i doubt it. the dems will divide themselves and the gop could still eke out a win through attrition. 

    maga became the gop, and the dems are going to throw out the progressives because dem leadership is owned by aipac and progressives will not budge on israel. aipac needs to go, or establishment dem leadership needs to go.

    i do not believe it is going to be the throttling everyone seems to think it is going to be. otherwise the gop would be flailing and distancing from trump. most are staying close to him at this point.
    They can't separate from trump because he'll trash them. That still matters for some reason.
