Trump sinks to 38% in new Marist poll (Lowest yet)

And that’s before his Reiner comments, worsening ACA situation, and escalation of his regime change plan in Venezuela. I doubt he has reached bottom yet.

I have no sympathy to "group X who is drifting away from Trump after powering him to power in 2020"

I don’t cheer when I hear that X demographic have “soured” on Trump after voting for him in 2020 knowing he would screw student loan borrowers, health care recipients, minority groups, women, Ukraine, etc.

I lament the fact that America has so many selfish people. I won’t even call them idiots because the knew what they were getting.

Those of us voting against Trump didn’t need extensive research to know he’s a racist misogynistic dictator wannabe who favors the wealthy.

Will the FBI show any evidence that the pipe bomber was in "anarchist"?

An anarchist could not care less if someone steals the election from another candidate, as in the case of the pipe bomber who told the FBI in interviews that he was mad that Biden stole the election from Trump.

An anatomist doesn’t want government. Period.

I think the anarchist claim is damaged control because the guy was a right wing election denier. The FBI somehow wants to associate the pipe bomber with liberalism in this case.
Because the narrative of only liberals ever being violent took a big hit.

Prediction: Trump will preemptively pardon Hegseth and Bradley because the system is rigged

The game was rigged from the start. We revere the Founding Fathers, but they baked corruption right into Article II by handing the President an unchecked "get out of jail free" card.

Convicted felon Trump knows that the only way to shield his minions Hegseth and Bradley from future prosecution for murder or manslaughter in a Democratic administration is to simply pardon them before they even get charged. So that is exactly what he will do.

And let’s save the "it was a different era" excuse. That is a total cop-out. These "visionaries" obsessed over checks and balances yet deliberately left this massive loophole wide open? They didn't miss it…they chose it. They were aristocrats designing a system to protect their own kind from consequences, and we are still paying the price.

The ICC must investigate Hegseth and/or Trump. They must prove they don't only target poor countries.

Duterte, for instance, deserved to be locked up, and the ICC did an excellent job pursuing that case. But if the International Criminal Court truly wants to show that justice applies to everyone, it must also investigate who ordered the strike against the survivors on that Venezuelan boat. If those responsible — whether it’s Hegseth, Trump, or the person who actually pulled the trigger — ever travel abroad, Interpol should issue a red notice for their extradition to The Hague for trial.

The ICC has long faced criticism for focusing too heavily on Africa while sparing more powerful nations, but that seems to be changing now that Netanyahu faces a warrant from them.

And let’s be clear: the soldier who carried out the order isn’t off the hook either. As Slotkin, Kelly, and others have pointed out, soldiers are expected to refuse unlawful commands.

The DC Guard shooter was VETTED by the Trump administration

When Trump supporters talk about "vetting" as if it was something that was allegedly, done and failed under the Biden administration,. refer them to this ABC News reporter:

New York Times: Trump "could have ordered the release of the files without an act of Congress, and has not"

Did you know Trump doesn't need Congress to vote for the release of the Epstein files?
Trump could order his Attorney General to release them. He' doesn't want them out there.

"It’s not clear that doing so would have any concrete impact; Mr. Trump could have ordered the release of the files without an act of Congress, and has not. And it remains to be seen whether his Justice Department will ultimately release the files."
