I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
The White House says Barron Trump is “too tall” at 6'9" for military service.
David Robinson was 7'0" and put his NBA career on hold to serve in the Navy. Height clearly wasn’t an excuse then and it isn’t now.
BREAKING: ICE officials are reportedly worried that, if Congress requires ICE agents to unmask and wear identification, 75% of the agents will quit rather than be ostracised for the rest of their lives by family, friends, employers, and society.
Denmark will not hand over Greenland even if the USA threatens us with nuclear weapons.
I am not saying this to stump our chest and try to be tough. We are small and no match for the USA. We know that. But we are not doing it under any circumstances.
Turns out that replacing a qualified federal prosecutor with…
...an insurance lawyer with no prosecutorial experience…
...to more easily target your political opponents…

Crime is out of control in Texas.
Texas’ homicide rate is 39% higher than California.
But Greg Abbott is busy sending his National Guard to Illinois for stunts.
Stop invading other states and clean up your own damn mess, Greg.
So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.
Donald Trump is behaving like Mad King George with his domestic National Guard deployments.
If everybody else is afraid to say it, then I am not afraid to say it.
Even on Newsmax.
America's Emperor has no clothes.
