This sounds like a stunt he would pull to ensure loyalists to be provocative in front lines on his parade,fascists pay people to protest and insight rioting and to be disrespectful this is completely out of the fascist playbook.

IMHO Trump looks nutsy koo koo and needs to be evaluated for involutary civil commitment. A discussion of his mental state should be the predicate for every tactical policy decision he's been making. The media should be asking: IS HE NUTS?

All we can do is take advantage of what we have. I'm grateful for any substantiation of Trump's mens rea.

What's happening with the senate parlimentarian? Senate Republicans are expected to closely follow the guidance of parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough as they embark on the “Byrd bath” in the coming weeks, with noncompliant provisions sometimes referred to as “Byrd droppings.”

What's happenng with stuff like Medicaid cuts, that undermine his support in red states?

There also will be a trial in LA -- and now maybe Omaha -- that can cut this off. Newsom filed a complaint.

I'm hoping that there are Califorinia Congressional Republicans -- there are 9 of them-- that know the rationale for this -- danger of invasion by a foreign nation; there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States -- is BS and will step forward.

Can call "adverse witnesses." Call Homan to the stand. Local Republican politicians.

I don't know this as a fact, but I bet the protesters have been infiltrated like the crowds were during the George Floyd protests. He who smelled it dealt it. https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/110775/documents/HHRG-116-JU00-20200610-SD019.pdf

"Protestors" can be scanned via face recognition. Hopefully local police can spot some of them

I think there are still ways to slow this police state from approach,but most Americans are not yet involved in this fight,because it hasn't hit them personally quite yet. We need people to be more aware and responsive to what is happening to their country and though many see rising smoke in the distance,it's still easier for many to believe the smoke is rising on another street,but it hasn't reached mine. Remember about 33% of this country are still loyal to Trump and a cultist doesn't stop until the leader tells then to do so.

While we are distracted Congressional Republicans push Trump budget bill in response to L.A. protests.

But Rand Paul says he and his family have been uninvited from the White House picnic for members of Congress, accusing the administration of targeting him over his opposition to some of Trump’s policies.

“I think I’m the first senator in the history of the United States to be uninvited to the White House picnic,” Paul told reporters on Wednesday. “I just find this incredibly petty. I mean — I have been, I think, nothing but polite to the President.”

Paul, a libertarian-leaning Republican from Kentucky, generally supports Trump but has been willing to criticize the administration’s policies on areas like spending and tariffs. He’s also the Senate GOP’s one “no” vote right now Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

Paul also accused White House staff of “running sort of a paid influencer campaign against me for two weeks on Twitter.”

“We know they’re being paid because ... someone has told us that the White House called them from the White House, and offered them money to attack me online,” he said.

Paul also appeared to take a veiled swipe at Trump’s senior adviser Stephen Miller, saying there are White House staffers who “are basically going around casually talking about getting rid of habeas corpus.”

A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rand is an asshole and he kept mowing grass clippings into his neighbor’s yard in the gated bougie community and the neighbor asked him like 100 times to mow the other way and so one day the neighbor snapped and tackled Rand and kicked his ass and broke 6 of his ribs. FAFO, Rand. The neighbor had to go to prison, however.

Me.too. I get everything. Even another polio vax when they had an outbreak in NY a couple of years ago. RAN for it. I'm in my 60s. Doubt my childhood vax was still protecting me. When I go to my doctor next month I'm asking for everything he has left in his fridge. I had the MMR 10 years ago. I'll take another one.of those too of I can. Also whooping cough. Unlike this insane lunatic RFK Jr who I only hope the brain worm is fatal...and soon, my motto has always been "Better living through chemistry".

" I told Bobby to go wild on healthcare". I hope he gets run over by a tank on Saturday. He didn't kill enough people during covid (including Stephen Miller's grandmother.

Usually when.I go to my doctor worried about getting something horrible, he always says "Robin...it's never going to be what you think it is" which always sounds so ominous and makes me even more nervous, but I guess it's true. You worry your whole life about some horrible disease and you wind up having a crane drop on your head walking under a.construction site and Boom! Adios!

I have to tell you something funny (now I laugh) but it was about 50 years ago.. I went to school in Boston and so did he. It was Christmas vacation and we were both on the same Eastern Airlines shuttle from Logan to LaGuardia. The airport was packed, and they had to pull out some of the really old last resort planes they used in a pinch that still had propellers, and I am.TERRIFIED to fly. I was sitting midplane, and he was up front and I don't remember seeing him as much as I saw his hanging garment bag with the initials RFK Jr., so I knew it was him.. It was expensive with the initials beautifully embroidered. The flight was only a half hour, but it was in such a blinding snow storm with turbulence, that I thought we were going to crash. All I.kept seeing in my head were the headlines "RFK's Son Killed in Plane Crash" on the cover of the NY Post with me along with him. I though I was doomed..We landed, and when I saw my father who came to pick me up, I was so traumatized from the flight I just ran to my father in tears crying "Daddy" (I was 18) and hugging him for dear life. It could have been a tv commercial with me running to him in slow motion. LOL And that's my RFK Jr story. Frankly, I don't care how any of them go, I just hope it's a fitting end, and that it's soon. I can't take much more of the stress. Night everybody!

Robin, you are so kind! As a child of the 60’s, any language was not a block to my use. I was being sarcastic about “almost” being sad, but I appreciate your perspective and added valued remarks. In toto, when the MAGA cult suffers, we all do also. We are a country of immigrants with or without papers. Even my Cherokee grandmother who was born in Georgia came from immigrants. It is ignorance and stupidity not to recognize or respect that reality. For me, I’d rather be ignorant than stupid; at least I can learn and decide accurately according to the facts. A stupid person KNOWS the facts and consciously chooses the wrong narrative. Hang in there, you wonderful human!

Election Subversion Has Consequences

It is now becoming clear that the current Nazi regime defrauded the American people with a "supposedly free and fair" election There are now 3 credible sources that point to a legitimate Harris win had it not been for corruption of the vote in 2024

And Americans knew that the election had been "cooked" but we needed objective evidence and we now have it The Nazi party and Cheeto defrauded the American electorate and America is pissed

So when one says "wow this protest thing is really taking off" just understand that the American electorate consciously or unconsciously feel that they have been ripped off by the the Nazis and want to send a clear signal in the form of mass protest that America is not the land of wannabe dictators

Ben I really hope you will interview Father Greg Boyle who founded Homeboy Industries in Boyle Heights over 30 years ago. With this latest ICE action, his knowledge of the targets is invaluable. His is the largest gang intervention organization in the world, and 10s of thousands of homies have passed through his doors. No doubt many, many are undocumented, and probably 99% are Hispanic and Black.

He is one of the best people on the planet, beloved and honest and erudite. He is incredibly well spoken and sharp, compassionate and fierce. I would love to know his perspective on the LA protests (becoming riots), because I know the carceral system and how dehumanized these kids and adults already have been.
