The administration is currently floating the idea of knocking out energy targets in Iran, but to wrap the bombing up before the stock market opens on Monday.

These are not serious people.

This business of being ruled by dead white males is becoming disturbingly literal.

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol.

Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

So much weirdness in this most recent threat to destroy Iran. (Why one year? Praise Allah?) The Iranians have, I suspect, learned to tune all this out.

But something's very wrong with the president.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

I'm starting to become convinced that Trump's monomaniacal obsession with the ballroom/bunker is because he plans on barricading himself inside the bunker when his term is up.

“The biggest story in the country right now is the failing health of the President of the United States - not just his mental impairment, narcissistic personality and decades of substance abuse, but his rapidly deteriorating, physical health.

We’ve all seen the bruises on his hands at this point, yet the mainstream media continues to ignore the story, and the reality of his rapid and increasing decline.

Trump rambles and slurs his way through curated press events which have become a daily sort of ‘proof of life’ for the drug-addled geriatric who otherwise has the thinnest of presidential schedules in modern history.

The White House staff fill his daily calendar with phrases like ‘Executive Time’ and ‘The President participates in a Policy Meeting’ which are designed to mask both his unmanageability and complete lack of work ethic.

Often, Trump posts to his social media accounts during the hours designated as policy meetings - reacting in real time to something he just saw on television, belying his own administration’s attempts to provide cover for his dysfunctional schedule.
For the last two Saturdays in a row his Presidential Daily Schedule, as published by Roll Call, has been suspiciously missing: it jumps from Friday to Sunday (they publish Saturday after the fact, and last week included his mysterious leaving his golf course to travel to a ‘dentist’ in Jupiter, Florida late in the afternoon in full golf attire).

There’s a complete dental unit in the White House for security purposes - so the White House’s excuse that his visit was ‘previously scheduled’ does not stand up to scrutiny and points to something else. Yesterday, there was no indication of his whereabouts until a White House Press Pool reporter noted POTUS was traveling to his Trump National Golf Course around 2pm ET where Donald watched part of a LIV Golf Tournament behind bullet proof glass with his son Eric, Larry Glick, an Executive VP at The Trump Organization, and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Governor of the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.

My guess is he wasn't doing the business of the people.

I have watched this pattern occur over the last year, where the Office of Presidential Scheduling leaves Saturdays open and vague. My assumption is POTUS is receiving some sort of medical treatments in the mornings (which would explain the pronounced bruising, often clearly visible in the earlier part of the week).” https://t.co/NbxPp4Yd2m

Trying to find a single example of MAGA screeching about the Logan Act when Biden was in office and Trump was in Israel, taking to Putin on the phone, or hosting dictators at Mar a Lago.

Can’t seem to find one. Weird.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right.

Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on.

The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. https://t.co/VekExfklGV

BREAKING: Resurfaced video shows Charlie Kirk condemning Jan 6th rioters: “All the people that came into Congress today, that broke the law, should be held to the highest level of criminal prosecution.”

Stunning.

The ‘Peace President’ is bombing people on Christmas.

If you’re surprised by any revelations in Epstein files re: Trump that is because the media failed you in an epic way in 2016. One did not need to look hard to find decades of depravity concerning his behavior but they chose to look the other way because HRC had some emails.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous.

It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone except the spineless members of Congress who worked 87 days this year with full pay and benefits, and then stripped healthcare from millions and left for vacation. I hope you all have exactly the year you deserve.

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

When I was a kid folks would talk about the ‘real meaning of Christmas’ now it seems like nobody even pretends anymore. POTUS’s used to use the holiday as a chance to serve the needy or visit sick kids in a hospital. Now they order attacks from Palm Beach clubs & rage post.
