    Trump Administration Secures New Indictment Against Comey
    The new case stems from a photograph of seashells on a North Carolina beach.

    Watched the 60 Minutes interview with Trump. It’s tough to watch someone on the decline in later stages of life.

    That's hard to understand, esp since they are hired at sch a young age. Then again, it really seems to age them all. Then again, it is hard to watch anyone getting tag teamed.

    If there ever was a graven image competition, this would be a contender.

    The fact you interpret that blank look on Trump's face as anything other than complete apathy is just sad and yet just another example of the true meaning of TDS...

    Trump has made $4.5 billion during this term. The difference between MAGA and those who can think for themselves is I can watch a video of Ilhan Omar call a reporter "stupid" for asking her how she made $30 million last year, and see a crooked politician. You can read that Trump has literally scammed 150X more than that and you will search the internet for an excuse..

    Lemmings do what lemmings do.

    Now please explain to all of us how the high price of gas, beef, and housing which have all gone insane these past 15 months are good for America.

    I am sure you can find a video explaining it all to us...........

    Possibly good points. Yet who was the competition? Elections have been similar as going to a community college to look for your loved ones next Dr. Trmph, Biden, Clinton, even tricky **** has made mone4y, in vast amounts. On top of that everyone , and other has done things that can be looked at as poor decisions for this country. Perhaps George Carlin may be the most honest person there was when it comes to politics. For the record as to the last election, there was no other option iIMHO.

    Because the alternative was going to be somehow worse? The guy campaigns on lower gas prices, no more wars in the Middle East and affordability… how is that working out for you. Depleted our munitions for what? They aren’t giving up on their nuke program. Straight is still closed and they are going to make billions on Straight Fees. He has accomplished absolutely ZERO. But he got their supreme leader!! And replaced with an even more hardliner…..

    Guy raked in billions as we all get folded like prom dates. Ohh no! People did bad things in the past so it’s ok my lord savior Donald Christ does it too! Dangerous mind set. You get your info from people exactly like you…. What type of info are you getting. I know. The 💩 you want to hear. People who defend this administration are dangerous to our constitution and our freedom. But hey. No one is going after 2A! Just all the other amendments.

    Please bring up some **** argument that he wiped out their navy, missiles and defense systems…. Then why is the straight still closed and he’s groveling to make a deal?

    if we keep playing like this something is going to break.
    ........
    Professor Steve Hanke, an economist at Johns Hopkins University, called for a constitutional debt brake in the U.S. in an X post on Thursday.

    He shared a post citing Bureau of Economic Analysis data showing U.S. national debt has crossed 100% of GDP for the first time since World War II.

    Times of concern for sure, and who knows. Not sure if gas shortages in the 70's with 10 % interest on houses, Nam, cold war, depression, the start of the country were any better or worse .... Not taking what you are saying lightly at all. Not saying I agree with everything going on.But it also seems as if we are in a time where political roles are changing. World is smaller and for good or bad , it seems as if money and powerful people have more ability to negotiate than countries working together.

    You would think interest on our debt surpassing defense spending as the largest line item in our budget would have been a wake up call.

    Every politician (excepting AOC and Momdani) understands the debt is a real issue, but tackling it means making hard decision that would cost them and their constituents, so it doesn't get done. Politcians don't like hard decisions.

    ^^ And that is exactly why for years I've heard people saying things like "we need to send someone to Washington who already has enough money not to be bought, and who doesn't care if people aren't thrilled with everything that's done".

    I guess "Be careful what you wish for" accompanies that sentiment.
