Yesterday -
President Donald Trump’s newly launched cellular service is defending its claims that its T1 cellphone are produced in the United States, but the device’s website no longer touts the “made in America” message it displayed when it launched.
Instead, it uses language like “brought to life right here in the USA,” and “proudly American.”
Keep walking backwards. Although at some point, you’re going to hit the wall.
A thought. Trump commits all sorts of very ill-considered, poorly thought out acts. And apparently his staff and underlings often fail in their attempts to dissuade him from doing something stupid, hence all the stupidity put into action. There’s no telling what stupid stuff we don’t see, but a helluva lot of it gets greenlighted.
So, a possible next very grand, stupid act? I look for his frustration and anger with the press to boil over. Resulting in the arrest of a prominent journalist for an imaginary crime. I think Trump probably feels the dire need to put the press on notice he’s no longer going to limit himself to angry diatribes. He’s going to show them he means business.
Then we all go down the rabbit hole of a dozen levels of the judiciary debating, ruling, overruling and generally fumbling about, trying to figure out a way freedom of the press, well, isn’t actually settled law.
Yes, but Opperation Overlord didnt have to circumvent their own chain of command in order to safeguard OpSec.
Kraznov was/is a constant risk by leaking details to the world through public statements and social media.
through greed and complacency anyway.
Very good and in-depth reporting even if I don’t understand a lot of it.
I do hope there’s app to identify criminally violent ICE agents as there were with the J6 punks and lowlifes, in order to assist other law enforcement at some point. Sadly though, who would they turn over the reporting and identification of rogue ICE agents to with this maladministration, even if they were appropriate for some kind of prosecution? This DoJ would simply ignore that assistance.
Maybe just hold onto the information for better times in the future?
"You close my rural hospital? People are going to die because they will not make it.”
THAT. IS. THE. GOAL.
Trump will pardon all of ICE, en masse, on his way out the door.
Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said the United States hit Tehran’s nuclear sites but achieved ‘nothing significant’, as he vowed his country would ‘never surrender’ to its enemies.
Was it…just two days ago…when Trump professed his love for Iran and wanted to Make Iran Great Again?
Isn’t it crazy that you can measure ancient history in days nowadays?
Expect Trump’s pendulum to swing back the other way today.
Probably so. So nice to see you every morning as my personal ray of sunshine.
I know, stevedee, just keeping it real.
Republicans in Louisiana are panicking about Medicaid cuts in the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s home state “is poorer, sicker and hungrier than most states, and the deep cuts to Medicaid have a growing number of Republicans in Louisiana worried that Congress and the White House are going too far,” Politico reports.
So even Republicans in Speaker Mike’s home state think he’s a stone-cold liar….not that they won’t keep voting for him. I only say this to point out Republican messaging on this bill isn’t working and McConnell is wrong when he says people will just get over it.
Donald Trump, beneath all the bluster, is likely a very nice, moral, ethical person, with the best interests of everyone front and center as his daily priority.
There, heartened for the day? 
I was attending the usual Wednesday “happy hour” at my retirement community yesterday and all of a sudden some gal turned the talk toward “the Muslim who was just elected mayor of New York”. I calmly asked her why his religion had anything to do with it, and was immediately met with a chorus of FOX News horseshit from just about everyone in my area about how he is going to make everything free and destroy New York. It blew up into me pointing out that half of them had never been to NY and most of them did not even know there was a primary until yesterday, not to mention correcting them about anyone having been elected to anything.
Then someone started in about all the “criminals” being deported and I went completely nuclear. Every single thing anyone said to me about anything was directly from Trump via FOX, from the poor ICE agents having to wear masks to protect themselves to the millions of dollars that were being consumed in gifts to illegals by Democrats. I told them the only people being deported were the people who had been cleaning their houses and mowing their yards for the last 50 years.
FOX is alive and very, very well among the over 60 crowd here in Mesa. It has got to be the most effective propaganda machine to ever exist here.
Can’t wait for the 4th of July. Last year they played Lee Greenwood’s “I’m Proud to Be an American” and the same guy that likes to wear a “Gulf of America” hat almost broke his leg jumping up and throwing his hand on his heart.
One Republican state representative, Jack McFarland, assessed the bill’s projected impact on rural hospitals this way: “I live an hour from the closest hospital, and I’m in a rural community. You close my rural hospital? People are going to die because they will not make it.”
FAFO…
Another way to read the budget math: Stop paying to have-not Red states and keep the money from financially strong Blue states to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. The rubes and cultists are too stoopid to notice.

Later. Stuff to do, stuff to do. So much stuff, you’re gonna plead with me. Please, not so much stuff!
If the bill passes and gets signed into law, will people have any other choice than but to get over it? What are they going to do, insist their rural hospital stay open? Barricade themselves in the OR and demand the doctors and nurses stay put and keep working? Grab a gun and hold up the SNAP bank for their food assistance? Proclaim they are voiding the tax benefits showered on the wealthy, the IRS can pound sand?
Nah. Maybe Schumer will send a sternly worded letter.
Well, he has decided to sue the entire District Court system and every Federal judge in Maryland. I’m pretty sure they don’t plan on actually winning this in court, of course. But, what the hey, its our tax dollars paying for it now. Its not like its out of tRump’s own pockets using his personal lawyers on some kind of retainer anymore.
So suing a notable journalist, preferably one that hasn’t the huge financial backing for defending themselves, could prove advantageous for tRump against the wishy-washy press, as well as the public in favor of attacking trial judges by at least most of their MAGA base.
‘One Republican state representative, Jack McFarland, assessed the bill’s projected impact on rural hospitals this way: “I live an hour from the closest hospital, and I’m in a rural community. You close my rural hospital? People are going to die because they will not make it.”’
Boy, nobody could have seen that one coming, right Jack?
