Originally published at: No One Has Addressed The Heart Of Trump’s Alien Enemies Act Gambit Yet
Hello it’s the weekend. This is The Weekender 
President Trump’s dubious use of the Alien Enemies Act to try to deport large numbers of Venezuelan men — and the lives he’s consequently endangered — have gobbled up so much national attention that it’s easy to forget that no judge has ruled that Trump even…

Two things:
If the gang hasn’t infiltrated the Venezuelan government, then why hasn’t Maduro come right out and said that?
With respect to the possibility of a third term, the First Felon has always had bad poll numbers. The inability of the Dems to clearly benefit from those bad poll numbers has given the Right two terms of this guy and the continuing inability of the Dems to manage the environment could very well give us a third term.
That ANYONE is thinking AOC is our way out of a third term is a good idea shows just how delusional party leadership has become. Let’s not even discuss the limited response to the erosion of the government. Where is the loud opposition? The citizens of this country have been mostly abandoned by the Dem party as a whole, with a few notable exceptions.

Maybe Georgie gets work release to be Pete Hegseth’s personal makeup artist, or more likely is pardoned by the bloated idiot.
In any case, at least one grifter is going to the can.

Agreed that AOC is not a good candidate at this time… But she certainly is worthy of a position in the House Democratic Leadership. The primary reason, in my mind, that the Democrats have been unable to benefit from Trump’s bad poll numbers is that there are too many Democratic relics in congress who think that they can be friends with Republicans. I don’t see too many Democrats in congress who should be leading the party.

Santos may have screwed himself with some of the threats he made in the past to the Republican party. Which he never came through with as far as I know. He is also a confirmed drag queen, which is not on brand currently for Grampy Orange Pants.

But what of the other 70 or more that should be joining him, but aren’t?
How long do you figure we need to wait for that to happen?

I think the dude on the right may be Santos. The guy on the left is, in actuality, a sculpted canned ham.

Isn’t that Santos to the right?

So I guess being a fellow grifter won’t be enough to get him a lifeline. Too bad!

I visited Afghanistan on my long journey in 1970. I do not recall seeing a church or even a single Christian person on that visit.

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy used their time at the Vaticanwhile attending the funeral of Pope Francis to discuss a possible ceasefire with Russia, with the Ukrainian president releasing a photograph of a seemingly intense conversation in St Peter’s Basilica.
The White House described the meeting as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was very symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.
It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.

In an effort to end fighting between Ukraine and Russia, Washington is engaging in intense mediation betweenthe two countries, at war since Russia’s 2022 invasion.
On Friday, Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff met the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow for three hours to discuss Washington’s peace proposal. Trump said that “most of the major points are agreed to”, in a post on his Truth Social platform, without further elaboration. He called for a meeting between Kyiv and Moscow’s leadership to sign a ceasefire deal, which he said was “very close”.
Despite Trump’s eagerness for a deal, significant differences remain between the US vision for peace and what Ukraine and its European allies have deemed acceptable conditions for a ceasefire.
[Perhaps without Vance there to throw bombs.]
