Maybe we could start with the New York or New Jersey state attorneys general. They have a lot of experience with the mob and with DJT.

Not at all. Five years of Latin, and I was using classical Greek when the topic came up. I read "sanctus" and said to myself, whoops, I'm using the wrong language. But exchanges like this really improve our ability to communicate with citizens of foreign countries and the Catholic Church, perhaps even our new pope. Maybe Jeff should have a special little section. We could start with, oh, Albanian (in alphabetical order).

Congrats on your posting record! I have appreciated every one of them.

I think that it is interesting that the Court of International Trade waited until after Mike Johnson send the Big Bad Bill to the Senate without a provision that says Trump gets to make tariffs on his own. It seems that the Republicans in the judiciary are following the constitution better than the Republicans in the Legislative branch, even though both are sworn to uphold it.

Good Morning Jeff and TACO enthusiasts…. I’ve been using the phrase EL GRANDE TACO, it’s big and it’s beautiful😜. In this weeks “Golf with MAGAS” no political discussion on the fairways, but lunch was a different matter. The members were all so excited to see Judge Box O Whine take the position of US Attorney for DC. I asked the question…. Since the Judge signed her taxes with her then husband and said husband was tried for tax evasion, sentenced and did prison time and pardoned by Mr TACO, well, how come she did not get the same treatment? Dead silence. I also reminded the group there are now about 40 x employees of FAUX appointed by Donald.. why? Why appoint these folks from a network that was ordered to pay $785M for LYING? And you don’t believe they will continue to lie in their new positions all to please the king? No reply except.. where is the check? They just had to exit… Best to All

Keep talking about the Second Amendment. It was put into the Constitution because the “founding fathers” predicted that someone would try to pull this “king” thing again! They had just fought a war to rid this land of rule by a king and they wanted to be sure that if someone tried it again the population would be armed.!

Project 2025 - Stephen Miller is part of that - apparently has something called Project Esther. I don’t know what it is but the Bible, Queen Esther got her husband, Xerxes to send out an edict allowing the Jews to arm themselves against an impending genocidial attack.

Newsflash Project 2025 and those associated - we are already armed c/o the 2nd Amendment.

The Supreme Court allowed guns to be DUMPED out here.

Then the spineless Republicans allowed unelected Elon and DOGE to cut funding for mental health treatment including for VETERANS. Funding for the Veterans crisis line was cut.

400 Million guns and the funds for PTSD are cut -

The Constitution has a remedy for Stephen Miller’s threats. Start reminding the Executive Branch of that. No kings for the United States.

The Courts are just trying to doing their jobs according to the Constitution so the People don’t have to “break the glass”.

BTW - notice how judges are being criticized as being “unelected”. Started happening after people went after Elon and DOGE - every accusation is a confession -
