Yup, this is a big power and money grab, the magna nuts will see the impact soon, but they will find a way to suggest Biden is responsible and Trump is only cleaning up the mess. Then there is Mitch, voting against RFK, any guess how that vote would go if he weren’t retiring? My father a decorated Marine veteran and die hard republican his entire life would be shocked and ashamed of what this party of cowards has become.

Apparently Mexico is also renaming part of the Gulf of Mexico
Above the line between the south end of Texas and Florida it’ll become

Jack Posobiec’s extensive ties to white supremacists should serve as a wake-up call for anyone who hasn’t made the connection between Trump’s MAGA movement and hate,


Guess where he is. Trump administration officials at the Pentagon invited a far-right activist, Jack Posobiec, to participate in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first trip overseas, And in Ukraine

But nothing to see right.

I understand your frustation. Id be crushed too if my candidate got such an ass whooping. Canadian lumber is overpriced garbage.

If I recall Tump lost in 2016

Oh wait you still think it was stolen. ..:rotflmao:

Easy post, copied a previous one which fits like a glove.

His response to your question is right out of the mini me play book with the classic deflection, followed by the usual venom and Trump favorite lines. It’s not that he can’t debate, it’s because he won’t knowing it would expose his inability to defend Trump, project 25 and Musk’s moves as constitutional and abiding by the rule of law.

It only took FFOTUS 24 days to sell out Ukraine.
I think the Europeans are foolish if they don’t attack Russia as soon as possible.
Russia is the weakest it has been since WW2 and delaying will only allow Putin to rebuild his military.
I expect Putin to test Article 5 shortly with a strike, likely in one of the Baltics.
I think the wild card is Xi Jinping who at this moment with the cooperation of Putin could get the European G7 countries to join BRICS and make the dollar just another currency.
Putin would completely withdraw from Ukraine, Europe would not need to attack Russia, the unpredictable USA would be moot.
The other choice is global conflict.

You do realize Canadian lumber already has a 14.5% tariff and Americans have historically gone to foreign markets and bought the cheapest stuff possible to import.
Winton went out of business because Americans were too cheap to buy the good stuff.

Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH)
Mr. Bove,
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S.
Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys-is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse.
No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the
Southern District of New York.
Yours truly,
Hagan Scotten
Assistant United States Attorney
Southern District of New York

Don't forget Danielle R. Sassoon (U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York) was a very conservative member of the Federalist Society. She clerked for Scalia.

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

Hagan Scotten, who wrote this spectacular resignation letter, was an army ranger for 8 years, top of his law school class (Harvard) & a John Roberts law clerk. Not exactly a candidate for Trump’s liberal deep state.

Vance meets with leader of far-right German party

Vance said. “No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants,”

I am sure he reminded them of a another corporal from their Past.

FFOTUS is still upset that Biden said he would cure cancer so he’s going to save it.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.

CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Not just cheerleading fringe right wing nationalists, berating the EU that Russia and China aren’t a threat but internal liberalism is.

Expect the US to walk from Ukraine, weaken NATO and Trump to try and use economic threats to get Russia back into the G7.

Its pretty obvious.

Actually, dismantling or defanging various oppressive and unconstitutional government bureaucracies is the opposite of fascism.

Welcome back. Too bad that’s not what they’re doing.

Here’s a shout out to even more rank stupidity

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...ure-rcna192345

No doubt mistakes will be made. And corrected. And it is not only unconstitutional to give plenary power to these agencies, it is fascistic.

I wondered when someone not lockstepp with the resistance would voice some reason and a lot more patience with foolishness. Then again I was on the hockey team and skipped the debate club.

Too bad that is your opinion which isn’t based on facts or laws but rather a feeling …


Also DOGE aims to target staffers who are not in DEI roles and employees who work in offices established by law to ensure equal rights, internal DOGE documents show.

Those pesky laws

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.

I would expect that he who posts this should expect it to show up in briefs challenging what he does.

We are at the point where we find out shortly if The United States are governed by the rule of law or Musk and Trump.
I’ll leave the question of who holds presidential power, the man who ran or the man who bought it to history.
