Part of the bargaining should be about ICE. Their Horror has to stop. Hard negotiating while they have the upper hand.

Third graders have taken over the White House. This isn't funny. It isn't clever. It's stupid and dangerous.

Send the men with the white coats. This is a country full of adults who expect mentally competent leaders and we've put up with this orange clown show for WAY too long.

The Cabinet will never enact the 25th Amendment. Our only out is an overwhelming success of Democrats in '26, in both House and Senate and to impeach Trump, Kennedy, Bondi and Patel - to start!

It is illegal for them to fire Generals for no reason or force retirement. They should refuse. They didn't pledge to POTUS, ie. PINO.

Hegseth fired a whole passel of them when he was first appointed, especially black generals and women. Was that all illegal? Why isn't someone bringing charges?

I know. But I'm thinking about if they are ordered into American Cities for no reason. We're all grabbing for hope. Already know the 25th Amendment is no good without the Cabinet agreeing. His kneewalking sycophants.

I think we’re pretty f*cking far beyond these creatures even considering whether something is illegal.

Thank you Mike for saying that the Dems need to represent their constituents. Trump will do whatever he wants, shutdown or no shutdown. Dems have nothing to lose by representing us. They need to be even more vocal. Follow Gavin Newsom's lead. Yes I am from California. We provide a lot of money to the country with our tax dollars. So does New York. Trump is taking away money (billions) and resources from the hands that feed his CAPRICIOUS ACTIONS and insane ideas. Who paid for 800 plus generals to attend a Trump political pep rally? Ground Air Force One which he uses for his golf vacations, visiting his golf courses for business reasons and political purposes. Etc. There is a Hatch Act. Felons have no qualms about breaking laws. We need legislation to prevent a FELON criminal from becoming president.

My question for people who say they love Trump but don’t like 1) his failure to release Epstein files, 2) his zealous actions to brutally mistreat and imprison immigrants and non-white people, 3) his personal use of government funds to enrich himself, travel and vacation, and remodel the White House,4) his use of DOJ for personal reasons rather than addressing crimes in the country, 5) his tariff game that has ruined people’s livelihoods around the world, 6) his betrayal of treaties with other countries, 7) his illegal murder of people and bombings of fishing boats in the Caribbean Sea 8) illegal takeover of cities by violent masked mercenary (including mentally impaired) individuals , 9) failure to end Ukraine and Gaza conflicts as promised, 10) illegally withholding funds from states he does not like 11) loss of a functioning CDC etc etc:

Is your life and the world better off now than it was 9 months ago? Do you really want to live like this, anyone?

Seems like all of those Trump loving people who say they love him but don’t like what he does are suffering from a form of Stockholm Syndrome. He told them all in so many words that he was a venomous snake who will do them harm and they elected him anyway. Is anyone’s life as BEAUTIFUL as he promised them it would be when he was re-elected? Trumps vision for America looks like The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymous Bosch ( panels 2 and 3). His vision is becoming our reality.

I absolutely think the longer the shutdown goes on, the more demands the Dems should make.i’m all for de- funding ( & disappearing) ICE as a next demand

Thanks, Jim! You and Michael Fanone are my favorite Substack duo for breaking down the news. I’m sorry the truth set you both “free from employment”, but I’m glad and grateful you’re here.

I hope Gavin Newsom responds with something using that SNL bit. That WH video is about the stupidest f*cking thing I have ever seen in my whole entire life. Just SCARY stupid.

They did! Check this out:

Blue Oyster Cult Share Statement Following Use Of “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” In President Trump’s New AI-Generated Video

“The band has since addressed the situation with a brief social media post explaining that they were not contacted or notified in advance about the song’s use in the video. They also went on to note that they do not own the copyright to the song, clarifying that Sony Music holds 100 percent of the decision-making power with regards to whether its use is approved or declined.”

LET’S BLAME SONY MUSIC! (If Dump’s goons even bothered to get permission)
