"Trump claimed in his recent speech that U.S. intelligence agencies discovered Chinese interference in the 2020 election but deliberately concealed it from him.
Yet Ratcliffe was the gatekeeper deciding what Trump saw and didn't see during that exact period, Rohde noted."

The algae growing in the swamp is asking for $1.15 Trillion.
1,015,000,000,000.00 is this right? or should it be $150,000,000,000,000.00?
I can't get my head around the stink.

"I think what we’re seeing is 11-year-olds with the most powerful military in the entire world, which is a pretty scary thing to see in action.
"Netanyahu is just in a position where he’s going to get as much leverage over Trump and as much influence over Trump as possible. And Trump, being really kind of a child about foreign policy, is just going to be easily swayed."
"The WSJ reported that Trump told staff in a private meeting that he’d “pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval.” Another person told the Journal that the president said he’d pardon anyone who came within 10 feet. In fact, White House aides reported that Trump makes the claim quite often in meetings."

Still... to recap JD Vance this week:
•Failed as a VP (and Catholic), sitting silent as Trump threatened Pope Leo
•Failed as a negotiator by not securing peace with Iran in a war Trump started
•Failed as a campaigner in what should be a total wipeout of Orban’s regime
A reminder that he only won his Senate & VP seats due to billionaire backing. On his own he’s absolutely nothing.

Businesses, the media, universities, and other parts of civil society largely bowed... last year... but have been more resistant in 2026.
Where Trump has been least successful, according to the professor, is in controlling the U.S. election system."
