Trump declares other countries need to 'take the lead' on the Strait of Hormuz in national address

It would be corrosive to have integrity when you are up against an idiot with no moral compass.

Yep. That sounds like something krishnamurti would say

If Trump offered me anything I'd run. His gifts are WAY too expensive.

Maybe that's why he's been buying members of staff those relatively inexpensive florsheim shoes.. In Rubio's case they look three sizes to big.. he can't run away! And Rubio still wears them! Says it all for lil' Marco

Clown shoes need to be big!

I'm surprised he didn't give everyone a pair of gold-painted made in china sneakers.

Hahaha… well the florsheim’s are made in China.

Good call on Blondi. I read that she is out.

Bondi was becoming a liability for Trump, far too obsequious for an ultra masculine man ( in his mind ) like Trump. He's fired two now, two women, in recent times. Time for a break with the low hanging fruit gone.
After the mid terms....

But, but, but the dow is 50,000!

Yep, was.... Next leg down kicking off after the Oman/Iran news. Still trading during Easter I normally don't do.. When the games in play, you play

Re: Bondi - DJT hates to lose. And the Bondi DOJ was just racking up an epic losing streak. There have been large mass defections from the DOJ, including a lot of the best prosecutors & US attys. Trump let these dumbass bimbos handle some of his high-profile cases (Lindsey Halligan and Alina Haba) and they bombed repeatedly. His Fox News show personality appointee to US Atty for Didtrict of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro - in a high profile position - has been flailing flagrantly. It's been a shit show, and Trump is wise to try something to correct course. Although, who knows, maybe Bondi just wouldn't do that one thing....

AI Overview
More than 2,500 lawyers, including US attorneys and career prosecutors, left the Department of Justice within the first year of President Trump’s second term, driven by high-level resignations, policy shifts, and personnel pressure. These departures include over 100 senior career managers and about 70% of the Civil Rights Division, significantly impacting staffing and causing case backlogs.

Mass Departures: Over 3,400 career attorneys have left or retired since the term began, while many more have been hired.

Targeted Offices: The Civil Rights Division saw a massive exodus, with approximately 250 attorneys departing by May 2025. Additionally, two-thirds of the unit responsible for defending administration policies in court have resigned.
Leadership Turnover: At least 107 career Justice Department senior managers left in the first eight months, representing a massive loss of experienced leadership.
Impact: The departures led to stalled fraud investigations, reduced enforcement of civil rights, and in some cases, the dismissal of criminal cases.

Hearing you on all points you raise

Last time I saw Jeanine Pirro (4-5 years ago) I thought there is someone who should be shopping for a nursing home while she still has a couple marbles.

Karoline Leavitt might next on the chopping block.

I'm waiting for that little crucifix necklace she wears to spontaneously combust

It probably can't reach combustion temp next to that cold heart.

Unfortunately she's currently in her nursing home with many others of a similar dotage.
I'll leave Bernie Sanders out, not because I agree with all he says, just because he's sharp.

Bernie isn't old; he's always looked like that lol

Bernie is the oldest grifter in the Senate. He's still able to convince his cultist base to send him money as he's chilling in his lakeside vacation home, bought with the money Hillary gave him for endorsing her after the corrupt DNC took his primary win away from him.
