Speaker Mike Johnson has adjourned the House of Representatives until after the mid-terms in order to avoid Representative Tom Massie's impeachment resolution about Pete Hegseth. These people are just an embarrassment to the USA. It's a Clown car - but the car is much more expensive now because of the tariff tax on parts.

The snowflake in the White House is stamping his feet and trying to bar news media because they're asking him questions - I can't say hard questions because the legacy media largely gives this buffoon a pass with his word salad answers. Does anyone expect any elected Republican to stand up for the Constitution and the 1st Amendment?

The explosion of diesel prices from The Great Incompetent's chosen war on Iran is going to effect the price on anything moved by truck. Any truck driver who voted for him must be so pissed with him now.

To his credit even Mitch McConnell could still probably pass The Great Incompetent's "cognitive test".

It's a commitment.

Another US ship was hit this week. How many ships have been bombed now? The costs of the endless pointless war are staggering. Luckily the new Congress might be able to shut off the flood of money being wasted. Not to mention the lives lost.

Did you feel that post-convention bump in the polls? Yeah, me neither. That was a waste of two days and the time of tens of people.

This will be forgotten on the ash heap of history just every other promise that The Great Incompetent has ever made to anyone.

When Senator Feinstein was showing up addled in a wheelchair to the Senate, Democrats were amongst the people who were saying it was time for her to retire. She was in better shape than Mitch McConnell is, she never disappeared for three months. Not a single Republican in the Senate has said anything about McConnell. A big difference between Democrats and Republicans, Democrats have the ability to self-reflect and speak publicly and not walk in lockstep. Republicans don't seem able to do that.

It's so stupid that The Great Incompetent is now blaming Ukraine for the price of diesel. He can't take responsibility for anything, any time. It's always someone else's fault with this embarrassment in the White House.

Everything you fear is true, sometimes, it's true. Rep. Massie from Kentucky has been consistent and non-partisan with demanding transparency and compliance with the law pass by Congress for the release of the files. It's so surprising he's a Republican elected official. Oh wait. The GOP has just gotten rid of him.

The Great Incompetent really is a creepy man.

A member of European Parliament trolled Trump by welcoming Canada as an Associate Member of the European Union yesterday. Shout out the Heated Rivalry. "Dear Prime Minister Carney, I'm really excited we are formalizing our long-distance relationship," Damian Boeselager, a member of the Greens–European Free Alliance, said during a speech in Brussels. "Our history has had its ups and downs, but hey, we recently had a bad breakup with the Brits, and you seem to be going through a rough patch with the US," he said, referring to Brexit and Trump's insane trade war respectively. "So clearly, we are both open for something new." "And for us, choosing you, Canada, and Mr. Carney is quite easy," said Boeselager. "You have green hydrogen to keep us warm, you have maple syrup to keep us happy, and 'Heated Rivalry' to keep us entertained. You have poutine, the Mounties, Celine Dion, and Leonard Cohen and, of course, almost every famous Ryan or Justin I can think of." "Furthermore, you Canadians possess humankind's rarest skill, and that is the ability to apologize. You have courage, Prime Minister, which you have shown by standing up against Trump's gaslighting, something we still have yet to learn," he continued. "And we know that Canada will never be the 51st state, and apparently maybe also not the 28th member state, even though you would be very welcome, but maybe we could become the 11th province of Canada." "Long live Lake Ontario, across the oceans, our hearts will go on," he added, citing the beloved Dion song. "Thank you." While Canada may not become the 28th member state of the EU, it is now formally moving towards becoming an associate member, a distinction that would afford it a slew of benefits and access, deepening its connections to Europe as its alliance with the U.S. frays beyond repair.

Pete Hegseth's wallet was stolen including his driver's license. Do you think he's hoping for identity theft?

Dialectics is Hegel I say, not being a philosophy major, before it was Marx. Insecurity. I've argued in some other thread, at some other time, on here that I half think that the current insecurity is deliberate. People are less willing to work together for their common interests when they are desperate and more concerned about survival than about enrichment.

Long ago he was morbidly obese, which he mocks other people. But enough about him. Any more of his pardonees been exposed as pedophiles or neo-Nazis this week?

Governor Beshear appoint a temporary replacement already. Challenge the Republican laws trying to knee cap your authority. Play to win.

I thought he rented that boat for a good chunk of change? It's hard for me to keep up. I concur, shoes are so important.

Gen-Xers came of age during the Reagan revolution. For many this supply-side neo-conservative hellscape we've been living in for the last 40 years is all they know. The direct attacks by the American right-wing on the middle-class, working-class and farmers is assumed to be the only economics there are. Enjoy your wedding. It's hot and humid still in the south, I hope your summer suit breathes.

In hind sight Biden should have pardoned more people to save us all from The Great Incompetent's inquisition of anyone who was "disloyal" to our current small-handed, feeble minded dictator.
