    ICE stepping in front of cars

    He really is. You’ve just been gaslighted into believing the way he behaves is normal. I’m confident by the end of his term, everyone but the most deluded MAGA bottom-feeder will see him for the cretin he is. You won’t ever get it though, bottom-feeder.

    He’s not the only one, but he is the worst offender and the “man” at the very top.

    I don’t think it was murder. I also don’t think good was a domestic terrorist who tried to run the ice agent down. It would be nice if everyone toned down the temperature. Unfortunately the guy at the very top is a venal scumbag who likes to sow discord.

    Federal Reserve Criminal Investigstion

    From the radical leftist National Review: The Trump Administration’s Lawfare Will Destroy More Than Just Itself Jeffrey BleharJanuary 12, 2026 8:59 AM Left: President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House in Washington, D.C., November 7, 2025. Right Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell holds a press conference at the U.S. Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C., December 10, 2025. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) The cost of the politics of this era will be felt long after Trump is gone. A ny reader of American political and economic news is likely already familiar with the long-simmering tensions between Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and President Donald Trump: Trump wants lowered interest rates and “loose money”; Powell (as well as nearly every single economist in America, including the vast majority of conservative economists) feels otherwise after the runaway inflation of the Biden era. The Fed’s official target is 2 percent inflation, as opposed to its long-elevated levels. We’re nowhere near that right now, in large part because of Trump’s wholly self-generated global tariff regime, which has helped raise prices on virtually everything except gasoline in the short term. Trump demands a political Band-Aid to cover up the self-inflicted wound; Powell serves the nation, and not Trump’s immediate political desires. With that understanding — and with the understanding that in the Trump Era we live in an age seemingly bereft of political norms, or anything except the will to exercise raw power — I was despairingly depressed but strangely unsurprised when Powell made a stunning announcement late last night: The statement speaks for itself. But I will be even blunter: What the Trump administration is doing here is pure thuggery, lawfare of the most shameless and self-disgracing sort. What defense does MAGA wish to offer for Trump threatening to indict the chairman of the Fed on fake charges because he won’t cut interest rates like Trump demands? Trump cannot legally remove Powell from his position except “for cause,” and so here he is, directing his Justice Department to manufacture a “cause” he can use to threaten Powell. I can hear the constant refrain of online Trump supporters ringing in my ears: “I voted for this.” Did you, really? Did you vote for this? Let us pause also to note the hilarity (seemingly almost intentional, as if to emphasize the near-Shakespearean insolence of office) of Trump threatening to indict Powell over purportedly mishandling the “renovations of historic buildings.” Donald Trump literally just demolished the East Wing without any sort of review, and then illegally slapped his name on the Kennedy Center to end the year. And bragged about how nobody could stop him from doing it! Does the administration see this irony? Maybe Trump does not, but those surrounding him surely do — and I’m halfway convinced that this aspect of things is an “intentional flex,” what they enjoy about their current amoral exercise of power more than anything else. We can do whatever we want, use any tool we wish, because we’re in charge now. (This power-tripping attitude comes through with crystalline purity in the public rhetoric of Trump’s most prominent underlings, such as Stephen Miller.) It’s frightening to see a methodology shaping up in the Trump DOJ’s nakedly political indictments. This is now the second time they have moved against a disliked political figure by sifting through random Senate testimony to find something they can hang a flimsy indictment on. It is precisely the brand of injustice we all learned to revile from the Stalinist era: “Show me the man, and I will find you the crime.” The fact that all this pressure is so shamelessly out in the open — and greeted with distractable indifference from the media and Trump’s increasingly coarsened supporters — feels like a degradation of American politics, and a quietly slow-rolling, endlessly accumulating civic and social tragedy. The cost of the politics of this era will be felt long after Trump is gone. I fear we will never get the poison fully out of our blood. So I invite all who disagree with me: Defend this! Shift your ground to the cheap and temporary rationalizations of politics instead of the arguments of law and ethics. Tear down yet another piece of what you believe to be the mere scaffolding of our Republic, only to discover that you’re removing load-bearing pillars. Defend this, and don’t be surprised when suddenly a firm structure no longer bears up under the shocks and stresses.

    Do you support invasion and annexation of Greenland?

    MAGA defends taking bribes from Qatar, pardoning terrorist supporters and drug lords, deploying the NG into US cities, covering up for a child sex ring, regime change and nation building etc. Why would taking Greenland be any different?

    Do you support invasion and annexation of Greenland?

    Do you really need to ask? If Trump decides to invade or annex Greenland the forearm MAGAs will be 100% on board with it. The only guiding principle is loyalty to Daddy.

    Nobody on earth believes there’s anything to this except Trump harassing Powell because he’s mad the Fed won’t lower interest rates.
  16. Chargers really don’t have much of anything at the skill positions and their OL got utterly blown up. But you’re right, the media glazes Herbert constantly and the dude hasn’t really don’t jack sheet.

    Pretty frustrating year for the Eagles despite 11 wins. Inept O and some bad penalties today. I don’t want to hear AJB say anything after today. Congrats to 49ers fans if we have any.

    No, the tweet Reality posted said “DEI sheriff.” Bilal may be terrible at her job but I don’t see how an elected official can be a DEI hire. Sadly that’s the MAGA go-to for minorities they don’t like. It’s not a good look.

    I couldn’t have even named the sheriff before that clip and she does indeed come off as a buffon. But she has 27 years of experience on the Philly PD and tan for sheriff. That’s not DEI, unless every minority MAGA doesn’t like is a “DEI hire.”
