Much is said re "Shy Trumpists" poll phenomenon. Maybe polls/aggregators adjust for this? Thus @538politics' "Deluxe" version wd lean more GOP than it shd.
I think this yr we'll see a "Shy #RosietheRoeVoter" phenomenon, w/ some women voting Dem secretly to avoid partner's ire.
The proof, they say, is in the chicken pot pie!
Despite Trump's announcements of new tariffs, stocks are stable this morning & the 10-yr Treasury yield is under 4.40%.
Why? Simple.
#TACOTrump !
Even the most naive investors now expect him to cave...

Eric Trump visited Vietnam this week to break ground on a $1.5 billion Trump Org. development that was expedited by the Vietnamese government.
Meanwhile, the Vietnamese government is negotiating on tariffs with the Trump administration.

At this point my only requirement for the 2028 ticket is someone who is going to promise me justice. Every single person who committed a crime in the name of Trump needs to be charged. No kumbuyas for me.
As the US economy collapses, and everyone starts to blame the Trump Administration, I hope Americans will remember that ONE PERSON is to blame for ALL that is now happening:
Merrick Garland!

As #DowJones, after being UP earlier by 1600, now craters (down 250+), someone said my own retirement fund is suffering.
YES! But the USA may be 10% less likely to become an autocratic oligarchy then we were a week ago! I'll take a Great Depression over a Holocaust any day!

How pathetic that the vice president of the United States needed to be told by America who was president in 2019.
I guess that's what happens when you want to forget that you repeatedly said how awful Trump was before selling your soul to become the worst VP in US history.
BREAKING: The White House just announced that President Trump will not lie today.
(As King of the US, he WILL spend much of this morning sitting on the throne!)

Regarding Trump today saying he’ll run a third term. It’s another bright object for the media to focus on. A Constitutional Amendment is as plausible as Musk going to mars tomorrow.
Let’s all focus on saving democracy. He won’t run for a third term legally
🤔

Now that Trump has admitted he wants to abolish the 22nd Amendment so he can run for a 3rd term in 2028, it's time for the mainstream media to stop calling it a presidency. It is not. It's a fascist, authoritarian regime. Therefore, call it the "Trump regime," as I refer to it.

Take a political world map, without colours, and color in the new alliances.
Chances are we’ll produce the same results.
As I mentioned to friends here in the States. The pre WW1 clamour for “a place in the sun” with global warming has become “a place in the ice”.

Greenland might well want to join your wonderful province. That might be an interesting poll.
In any case all interested parties must respect sovereignty.
Hands off means hands off, some just don’t understand the concept (in any aspect of their lives) .

YES. The MAGA freakout over this is exactly why we need it.
@Tim_Walz stop talking about it and set up the shadow government immediately.

The real lunatic here is Marco Rubio trampling over people’s First Amendment rights.
It is shameful that an individual who says his family was the victim of an authoritarian regime would send hooded agents to disappear people because of controversial speech.
Fascinating hypothesis by friend:
Jeffrey Goldberg was included because Walz selected names from a phonelist & fat-fingered him instead of next name.
What name immediately follows "Goldberg" & might have been invited? AND none would admit it?
Gorka!

As the weeks go by, I hope it is not lost on any patriotic American who is angry at Trump, Musk, Hegseth, Schumer, et. al., that ABOVE ALL (yes, even Trump!) there is one person upon whom anger and blame should be heaped! His name is:
Merrick Garland!

Very nice, Don. Now, maybe cast a few votes to reflect what you really believe, instead of just going along with the cult.

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it echoes loudly.”
Senator Josh Hawley is reprising the role of Franz Gürtner, who served as German Reich Minister of Justice from 1932 to 1941. A former member of the German National People’s Party (DNVP) and a conservative jurist, Gürtner played a key role in legitimizing and integrating Nazi policies into the German legal system.
Gürtner had been Justice Minister under Chancellor Franz von Papen and retained his position when Hitler took power in 1933. He helped oversee the Nazification of the legal system, ensuring that courts and prosecutors aligned with Hitler’s will. He drafted or approved key repressive laws, such as:
•The Reichstag Fire Decree (1933), which suspended civil liberties and allowed indefinite detention of political opponents.
•The Enabling Act (1933), which gave Hitler dictatorial powers.
•Laws that allowed the Gestapo and SS to operate outside legal constraints.
•Legislation that stripped Jews of legal protections, culminating in the Nuremberg Laws (1935).
Despite being a traditional conservative rather than a hardcore Nazi, Gürtner repeatedly provided legal cover for Hitler’s extrajudicial killings, including the Night of the Long Knives (1934), when the SS purged the SA leadership and other rivals. He justified these murders as “state necessity,” setting a precedent for Hitler’s rule by decree.
Like the extreme MAGA, Christofascist, white supremacist that he is, Hawley is hell bent on laying the groundwork to ensure that judiciary functions as an enforcer of of D☭ИOld tЯUmp’s policies rather than hold tЯUmp accountable to the U.S. Constitution as a check his brazen and deadly power grabs.
