Oh, but he’ll deny he had anything to do with this!! Seems like his famous words these days is “I don’t know”. He’s so stupid.

In a vacuum, Trump would be right. We do have too much plastic Chinese junk. Same as Carter's thermostat suggestion might've been OK if we didn't all know it was a manufactured crisis. Americans have it in their DNA to pull together and sacrifice when the cause is righteous. If they understand that it's Trump in his gilded office *causing* the doll shortage, if they know their collective chain is being yanked, they'd be rightly furious.

Will Dems get on message and amplify this? No. Trump hands them dozens of devastating messages a day... super simple, intrinsically infuriating messages that cut across party lines. They just sit on their hands hoping to win in 2026.

FFS Dems are handed literal poster children but we haven't seen their faces. When's the last time a Dem stood up in Congress and showed the photos and told the stories? How hard is it to relate the civil rights of immigrants to the civil rights of citizens, especially when the President himself is blurring the line?

As neither Dem nor MAGA i'm developing a burn-it-all-down reflex of my own. I can only point to a handful of people anywhere in government who i would call "leaders". If the rest would let the Constitution burn then screw it, let the flames consume them too.

Pope Leo XIV is the perfect antidote to the horror of seeing the Antichrist cosplaying a pope (antipope).

Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

What amazes me about Stephen Miller is that he is Jewish and his great grandparents fled Russian Pogroms. Does he honestly think he is somehow exempt from the white supremacy hatred of Jews because those people don’t consider Jews to be White. Mr. Miller should remember that lots of “good Germans” died in the camps because they assumed they were safe until it was too late.

Loomer leading Trump on Nat Sec is exactly why the 25th amendment was written.

Signal gate? Why do you think the Atlantic was added? And why did Mike Walz position his phone where it could be in a line of sight of a photographer? Freud said there are no accidents.

We the People of the United States need to make some very important changes. I’m not sure how hard or easy this task will be. The vetting of politicians, donations to candidates, term limits, salary and benefits. The SCOTUS is a HUGE problem! The Law can’t be Bias in any way. We the People have work to do.

Absolutely…and the president should know the constitution inside out.

Exactly, when I was a project manager knowing the contract and the scope of work was my biggest priority. So, as POTUS they must know the Constitution “inside out”!

Stephen Miller looks like a serial killer - just a complete weirdo. If I were walking down a dark street alone and he was coming toward me, I would pull out my pepper spray and hit emergency on my phone.

Great show and I also subscribe to Olivia's Substack. I really admire her for her bravado in standing up to MAGA. She has experienced many consequences for that decision (as you yourself have). I love how she knows some of these people personally and gives us inside baseball information.

You covered many scary subjects and life is very frightening and cruel to several people in this country. I totally agree this country is at the crossroads of we will continue to be a democracy or not. It is so heartbreaking.
