Agreed. I wouldn’t put it past him, that just doesn’t seem to be the case this time.

Right, without a paper-trail, making assumptions is just that. I could envision a lackey making this decision thinking, "Yeah, he'd like this," as well. We saw that with Hegseth a couple of weeks ago about Ukraine aid, which decision got repealed PDQ.

Or, it could just be shelf-dead food that had to be burned.

A blood-clot migrated up from the leg killed my biological father. Poor veins in your legs is serious stuff.

So, there's hope for the Trumpleforeskin, after all!

I have that issue too although it's been reduced with weight loss. I've been looked at with ultrasound more than once to make sure there were no blood clots.

Sucks getting old.  

It looks like Trump thinks he has as much leverage over Rupert Murdoch as he does ABC News and CBS. I suspect he's got a rude awakening coming.

El Salvador releases the alleged Tren de Aragua gang members the Trump Administration sent in exchange for 10 prisoners held in Venezuala. So much for the fig leaf that the deported migrants were under El Salvadoran control and there was nothing the U.S. could do. The transparency of the lies makes it clear that we're several stages into being an authoritarian regime.

Saddens me to say it but get used to it. Half a year to break it all. And more is coming. FFS. 

So ashamed of this once republic.
