So why is ICE now in charge of busting up protests? Like how is that even in their mandate? Ras Baraka is a born-in-America American citizen.

I don't actually expect those questions to be answered.

So trump didnt really propose a tax increase on the wealthy, he talked about it, then talked himself out of it and blamed Dems why he couldnt.

From The New Republic by Edith Olmsted on May 9, 2025:

“Trump’s Rant on Taxing the Rich
Donald Trump rambled on about raising taxes (or not? on the wealthy

The messages Donald Trump is sending about a proposal to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans aren’t just mixed; they’re actually inscrutable.

In a post on Truth Social Friday, the president appeared torn about whether to actually follow through on his proposal to hike taxes on the super rich.

‘The problem with even a ‘TINY’ tax increase for the RICH, which I and all others would graciously accept in order to help the lower and middle income workers, is that the Radical Left Democrat Lunatics would go around screaming, ‘Read my lips,’ the fable Quote by George Bush the Elder that is said to have cost him the Election. NO, Ross Perot cost him the election! In any event, Republicans should probably not do it, but I’m OK if they do!!!’ Trump wrote.”

Unbelievably unhinged crap.

I just read an article about Pope Leo and his welcoming attitude towards refugees and the poor.


Then underneath that I skimmed an article about Trump, who is quite the opposite. The contrast really disturbed me. Trump just looks so foolish, evil, and cheap.

The US keeps getting smaller and farther away.

In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.


The blatant bribery, corruption and having your own lawyers say its 'oh totally legal' is astonishing

I love how he just stays in his chair as she falls to the floor right next to him even glancing at her on the floor. True Fox news pro.

I really just don't have words.

Quote:
Ever wonder where Donald Trump gets his policy ideas? Take, for example, the presidential proclamation he fired off Sunday night on Truth Social, ordering the Bureau of Prisons to reopen and expand Alcatraz to house “America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.”

Where, oh where, could that have come from?

It’s not like anyone’s seriously floated reopening The Rock since it shut down in 1963 and became a fog-shrouded tourist attraction run by the National Park Service. At least not until Trump somehow, seemingly out of nowhere, came up with the notion on Sunday night.

We think we know what happened.

Last weekend, WLRN — a PBS affiliate that services South Florida, including Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago — aired a rerun of Escape From Alcatraz, Clint Eastwood’s 1979 classic about the prison’s most famous breakout. In fact, it aired it not once, but twice: Saturday night, then again Sunday morning — just hours before Trump took to social media and floated his plan to turn the historic island back into a high-security fortress.
