We get it David you’re so smart and your rich liberal left of center audience laps it up while talking down to people actually putting in work. Zionism, thinly veiled Islamophobia, gasligh... more

  • Intelligent and amusingly dry -

    You keep me breathing through this chaos- when your commentary helps my mind file what may otherwise be panic-reminding me my aghast and unbelieving response to this administration is NORMAL!

The real King embarrasses fake king Trump
Q: I want to start with your general impression of the degree to which Donald Trump is currently engaged in day-to-day at the White House. What can you tell us generally about?
Wolff explains that Trump's day-to-day engagement appears erratic and his behavior is influenced by a perception of absolute power, with experts noting attention deficits and a tendency to wander from rooms, which complicates effective governance and decision-making.

Q: What oversight tools are available if the House takes back control in November?

Shapiro emphasizes focusing on delivering effective policies and outcomes locally, highlights the importance of competent leadership and electoral readiness, and suggests a pragmatic approach to the midterms rather than dwelling on 2028.
