I keep expecting Trump to announce a fort named after Confederate General Jubilation T Cornpone (if he saw the film he might think that J.T. Cornpone was a real general and not from the Broadway play and film). Lil Abner - Jubilation T Cornpone

Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability on behalf of the people of California.

No one here is in favor of or supports the violence connected with these protests. No one. But we keep hearing that same false narrative being repeated again and again.

Or to the May Day parades in Moscow with a smiling Joe Stalin in Red Square basking in the attention like Trump will.

Kind of a simple concept that some folks have trouble grasping.

OK I just saw the video where is walking and he doesn't look hurt in that (although there is not a close up of his face, he is shown pretty much from the back and side, not really facing the camera).

Not sure that is legitimate, the guy didn't have a scratch on him which seems unlikely if the plane exploded on impact.

Yes, but that doesn't give anyone the right to intentionally run them down without any legal consequences just because they don't want to miss their 7PM dinner reservation.

If anyone thinks Lindsey Graham is a lib, I got a bridge I want to sell them.

That is an understatement. This sounds like they are giving people the right to commit intentional vehiclular manslaughter just because might be late to work.

No, if you think the sky is green, that doesn't make it the truth or make the statement factual. However, it is a fact that is what you believe.

Yes, it is a fact that is what they believe.

How could they not be facts? Anyone's opinion is a fact of what they think or believe.

Trump now says Rand Paul is invited.

Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders? Didn't know there was such a crime.

Like many others here he resorts to name calling and insults when he is on the losing side of an argument. I put him on ignore after tiring of reading that nonsense (now I only see it if someone else quotes him, which always confirms I made the right decision).

Meanwhile in Florida: DeSantis: Drivers Can Hit Protesters if Threatened Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has clarified that drivers in Florida are legally allowed to flee for their safety if they are surrounded by a mob while driving. This policy includes the right to drive off even if it means accidentally hitting someone blocking their path, emphasizing self-defense in situations where a driver feels threatened. This statement has sparked a debate on the balance between public safety and the right to protest.

This is heartbreaking to watch.

It is just one poll and could be an outlier, but if other polls we see in the coming weeks have similar results it does not bode well for Republicans in the 2026 midterms.

Trump acting petty? That is really out of character.
