The guy who says women shouldn’t be in the military is having his mom help him out getting a job.

The best part of that is that it's still the same mom who previously blasted him for all of the amoral failings that he's now being blamed for. She'll have a hard time walking that back, although being shameless, the GQP is certainly still trying.
 
Can't wait for the $enate confirmation hearings to begin. All those business interests and the politicians they own and operate are going to be up in arms over Trump's list of things to get revenge on and those other things that's only meant to piss off his enemies that Corporate America is ready to stand up a mob with pitchforks and torches to rein him in on. Voter and donor lists will surely com into play here.

Mass deportations will be selective as all git out, depending on who's on Trump's shit list. This deportation effort will have Trump's stank all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if Donald himself will act as judge, jury and executioner over who gets to stay and who gets to get booted out because that's just the kind of thing he gets his thrills from. The fun part of it is who gets to decide where all of these millions of deportees will be sent to and what nation(s) would be willing to take them in? Who pays for deporting them? Trump the cheapskate stiffer will refuse to finance their departure so what then? A shitshow in the making fer sure.

Make them walk home? That's how they got here.

Mexico will refuse them entry on their way to their home countries further south, so it looks like they're going to have to take swimming lessons first. As for those undocumented folks from the rest of the world, what do you suggest?

As you well know, most undocumented immigrants flew here with valid visas. This is why Trump's border well grift is stupid unless you're one of Trump's pet contractors.

It is amazing that the average American doesn't know two basic facts:

1) About 2/3rds of illegal immigration comes from people who came into the country legally to begin with. (ie: border wall would not help)
2) Nearly 90% of drug smuggling arrests into the US are US citizens, indicating the vast majority of drug smuggling has nothing to do with immigrants.

It's dumb or dishonest people lying to the American public about the problem because the real solutions aren't things they want to do and are difficult to communicate. Better to just make a stupid wall. (Then when it doesn't work blame Democrats somehow)

Build a wall and hire undocumented migrants to build it for minimum wage. Then sell them plane tickets to fly back home?
 
Per MSNBC, Chris Wray, FBI director, announces his plan to retire. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. What comes next will be much worse hard to imagine.

Bunch of losers coddling up already. Seen some D Senators (or those that caucus with them) talking about working with Musk or RFK Jr on various issues - stop it. The general public is stupid and the messaging fairy isn't going to help you. Stop trying to work with evil people.

But what do you want the Dems to do? Any type of opposition will require a few sane Repugnicans. Better to minimize the damage by attempting to work with them.

I'm sorry, but playing along with Musk and RFK Jr is like Charlie Brown kicking the football with Lucy. We don't have to help them achieve their goals, or give cover for their crazy ideas by going along with things that on the surface sound not so bad. The public, as evidence by the election, is quite dumb. They don't understand the nuance.

Yeah, they may not be able to stop them but they certainly don't have to support them. There is value in calling out their unfitness.

This is why Chuck Schumer sucks and its insulting to our intelligence he is staying in his leadership position - he can't get his minority Sens to fucking do the right thing. We should be hearing a lot more from Dem senators about the shit show that is happening, not this fucking nonsense.

also Justin Trudeau is a fucking idiot. He went down to Mar a lago like a little bitch, and now Trump is calling him Governor of the state of Canada.

Why don't people learn? I mean that was so predictable.

- Yeah, I'll give Trump credit where it is due: He has really demonstrated that the whole world is run by a bunch of fucking imbeciles and the only thing holding this shit together in any meaningful capacity are ironically the everyday working people who just plug away at whatever inane shit we've cobbled together and called the human civilization.
