I could see it possibly for Comey, if he's convicted. Nobody is gonna bother with Bolton.

This fits into the "almost, just not far enough" category for me.
Trump's lawyers were charged with RICO, simply removing Comey's lawyer for conflict of interest isn't enough of a statment. It looks like the democrats weren't really thinking "Oh no we better not do this because what if we set a precedent the other side can use?"
Here's a perfect example. Doxx them, publicly shame them, charge them. Thems the rules now.
DOJ seeks removal of Comey's defense lawyer, citing conflict of interest

If they did, it would be just a jab at Trump. Not because anyone cares about Bolton.

What I find ridiculous is that Cuomo isn't going to win in NY, Sliwa dropping out only gives Mamdani votes. Cuomo dropping out would give Sliwa more votes but still not enough. Sliwa is the only Republican in the race yet you have all these rando MAGA accounts encouraging/asking Sliwa to drop out and endorse Cuomo. It's funny because Cuomo's policies killed thousands.

I remind myself everytime I go to the grocery store and pay $15 for a can of Folgers....
Fox had an interesting bit about the shutdown I didn't know. It isn't just healthcare for illegal immigrants. The standoff also deals with ACA subsidies which began with the passage of the ACA and was greatly expanded under Biden as part of his COVID response. Those subsidies are set to expire at the end of this year and that deadline was set by?
Democrats.
The shutdown is horrible for America but inevitable and Democrats are still blaming Trump? Clown shoes. No wonder places like CNN are cold to lukewarm with their criticism of Republicans. They know.

It's been primarily the ACA subsidies the whole time.
The bit about immigrants is that lawful immigrants could recieve Medicaid/medicare but the BBB removes some of those immigrants.
ETA: In my opinion, it's a bad time for the Dems to be fighting over the ACA subsidies. From a strategic perspective, they should have reopen the government after a week or so and kept on message about how the GOP refused to keep them.
Come ~June/July when prices jump up, then they can force the issue. People would be more likely to support it once their health insurance actually increases.

The fact that nobody has written an article titled "Maine Kompf" about Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner is very disappointing...

ObamaCare, because it certainly isn't affordable, completely distorted the marketplace for both large corporations and small businesses. Previously, employers over 500 personnel were required to offer coverage. Well under ObamaCare that number went to 50. So, small businesses who couldn't afford it laid off like 5 employees and kept their head counts under 50.
A lot of employers with 50 or less employees were providing health coverage as an incentive to attract employees. BUT that coverage in the marketplace is so much more expensive today. Tons of employers under 500 personnel carried coverage for their employees as well, because incentive. Well by dropping the employee floor health insurance companies had less incentive to provide competitive and affordable plans to employers.
Oh also, remember for the first several years individuals without health coverage faced huge fines. Most of the individual coverage plans pre-Obamacare were great. Now they're absolute shit.
Oh, Jackie and Steve, the 50 yr old Gen Xers who retired early and clear 130k/year in retirement benefits are about to lose their 1300/month subsidy? Well, eff off and get back to work. All these subsidies do is reduce competition and jack up the price. But Democrats have the iq of a snail.
Sounds like Jackie and Steve are hard working Americans that buckled down and invested appropriately so they could retire at 50. But fuck them because they made good choices. Hate to break it to you, but Jackie and Steve aren't responsible for the premiums you're paying.

I accept that I’m in the minority here, but I will never understand how this type of communication from the President of the United States of America, is appropriate or funny.

Admittedly, as an admirer of Winston Churchill, I do appreciate this kind of contemporary whit. For instance, Churchill once had an encounter that went something like this,
Bessie Braddock: “Winston, you are drunk, and what’s more you are disgustingly drunk.”
WSC: “Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.”
Game. Set. Match.
