I feel like it's pretty much on topic, especially with crap journalism like this
Trump Says He's Not Sure Whether Musk Was Taking Illegal Drugs in the White House
Not quite sure why they think the President would know, but if the Secret Service can't even account for drugs coming into the White House...
We already settled this my dude. Musk gotta go and ICE gets to apply the same standard writ large. Keep up!

Weiiiiirrrrrd! It's Hollywood, baby!
I would hope this kills Disney's live action remake trend, but Lilo and Stich has made $800 mil last I saw.
They'll just decide people don't want princess movies anymore and start doing live-actions of Pixar films.
ETA: I wanted to see how bad it did compared to to some other recent ones. Technically it beats Mulan ($70 mil), but the article probably isn't counting that because it was a COVID release.
Snow White beat Cruella domestically by $1mil, but that movie also cost almost a 1/3 of the price. It was also a decent movie.

So, for me this is problematic. Activist judges et al.

"Permanently"
"Shall not be infringed"
"Shall make no law"
"shall not be violated"
...all things said by a government that doesn't really mean any of them
As soon as enough leftists are returned to power the roller coaster of "permanent change" will swing back to the left just like it is starting to swing right under the current administration

Something that's a real issue for Trump- he ran on no new wars, and I voted for that. If the admin doesn't stick to the below lists- they're cooked, as the kids would say. He's gonna lose the plurality of power he's built with these other issues- and that's me included.
1- Mass deportations.
2- Secure the border
3- Fix legal immigration
4- Economy
5- Arrests and prosecutions (accountability) for the deep state folks that have harmed America.
FBI is alleging that China interfered with the 2020 elections. The J6 committee. AIPAC influence. Domestic terror organizations funded by taxpayers and operating with impunity. These issues matter to the rank and file Trump voter, and unless they focus- the mid terms are not going to be pretty.
People aren't going to switch parties, the republicans are gonna throw their hands up and just not turn out, and that turn out is what won him the election. Things in America are bad enough now- he has to capitalize by focusing on what got him the election.

This is what just happened to the Dems. Harris trotting out the Cheneys was never gonna get Republicans to vote for her, it just made people not bother.
If things clack off you'll see (at least in the mid-terms) GOP hawks/isolationists split and moderates walk away from the GOP. Nobody wants us to get back into big fights.

The issue that the Republicans often have is their inability to deliver when they have a narrow majority. It's a big tent party. Whereas the Democrats don't cross the aisle much.
There's just nowhwere to walk away to, really. Folks aren't leaving for the dems, that's not their game. And without a 3rd option, I think they just make their voice heard by not doing anything to support the party until they figure it out. Guess we will see
Republicans writ large are spineless. Padilla should be rung up with resisting, at a bare minimum. Disgusting.

This happened back in 2016 and led to Hillary laundering money through the DNC and Tulsi (in part) resigning as co-chair or whatever with the DNC.
Then you have Harris and her 1+ billion, so there’s some skim going on. A lot of skim IMO. They are eating their young and then pleading poverty, like killing your parents and asking the judge for leniency because you’re an orphan.
For a dude people are breathlessly telling me "just can't wait to get into a new war", every single thing this admin is doing is 180 out from that.
How many times do we have to do this? Trump operates from a hyperbolic, maximalist position ("It's too late to negotiate! I told you to surrender fully!"), then gives the out ("But if Iran wants to come to the White House, I mean, it might be too late but I will talk"), and backs it up with consequences ("Attack plans have been approved, but I alone hold the go/no go, and I will wait until 1 second before it's absolutely needed before I give the go ahead.")
When CNN is talking about Trump's commitment to a diplomatic resolve (while still actually posturing forces to further his "peace through strength" doctrine), you know something ain't adding up.
