Worked well for her. She got her citizenship, that of her parents, and an anchor baby too. Who'd have thought a bit of "modeling" could get you all that. Hmmm.

Elon Mush (I know I don't spell the name right — call it no respect) is trying hard to use deflection to his advantage like Trump does. Only thing is, so far, no one who tries Trump tactics like that gets very far. No one so far (although in some ways Mush is closer than a lot) is as sick in the same way as Trump is and Trump has been 'sick' almost all his life. Robert Reich is entirely correct.

How much more specific can you get when one person is allowed to walk into our government, that all of us have paid for, for many yrs., and just wipe huge portions of it out. Big news Mush. Taking things away from people when you have more than millions put together of us, is rather easy to NOTICE — in other words highly specific. You best hope Karma is not specific, but I bet it will be.

So much of this is going to have a huge effect on the Red States. I know they tend to 'look' the other way pretty good but at the same time I do believe even they will find it horrid when they continue to lose out as much or more than the rest of us.

Now we are hitting on something. If one could call this investment, so far, the return is pretty crappy.

BREAKING: Fox News analyst Jonathan Turley enrages MAGA viewers by dumping cold water on Donald Trump's plan for an illegal third term — and says that it makes J.D. Vance look like a pathetic "Mini-Me."

This is absolutely brutal...

"There’s also a cost to this that may not be fair to people like Vance or others who are going to run. All of this talk tends to diminish them," Turley said.

Over the weekend, Trump stated that he is "not joking" about running for a third term and claimed that there are "methods which you could do it." The fact that such a third term is outlawed by the Constitution clearly doesn't bother the convicted felon.

In the Fox segment, Turley said that part of Trump's so-called legacy "will be securing the White House for a Republican" after his presidency ends.

"And this type of talk reduces figures like Vance to sort of Mini-Mes and that’s not a good thing for them," he added, referencing to the diminutive sidekick of Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers films.

"It’s not fair to people like Vance. So, this does appear [to be] something of a jump scare. With the exception of amending the Constitution, it does not seem particularly credible," he added.

Of course, Trump has repeatedly demonstrated — and in many cases outright stated — that he has zero respect for the Constitution. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean that he won't attempt it. We cannot allow that to happen.

The time to speak out is now... While we still can.

I have absolutely no love and even less respect for Johnathan Turley. At one time he seemed to me a bit more middle of the road even though he is Reps. Then, in my eyes he went to 'going along' with Reps. to the degree that the middle was pretty obscure. He now seems to see going to far in one direction can carry some tarnish. I do agree with this piece. Trump does help lay the groundwork for who comes next and is much about what I tried to reference earlier.

What happens now is going to factor into what comes next. In my mind, since the mental deterioration is so bad right now along with whatever overall heath Trump has which doesn't seem particularly good (he doesn't tell the truth what-so-ever about health issues) I'm not sure the guy will even be alive for another term and if he were he would not be capable of taking anything on. My concern is laying groundwork for others, but then I'm not sure the Reps. want to give us the EQUAL opportunity. I do feel this is mainly focusing energies elsewhere — although if Trump was a bit younger (healthier) he likely would go for it.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets disastrous news as Senate Democrats officially call for a Special Counsel to investigate the SignalGate scandal — destroying the White House claim that the "case is closed."

MAGA world has been dreading this moment....

"In addition to the reckless inclusion of a journalist in the chat, we are deeply concerned about this serious breach in the proper handling of such information and deliberations," thirty-one Senate Democrats wrote in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

"Given the extraordinary circumstances of this shocking incident and the significant public interests at stake, it is imperative that you immediately appoint a Special Counsel to thoroughly and impartially investigate whether any of the government officials involved violated federal criminal law," they continued.

The senators explained that appointing a Special Counsel is "appropriate" when the Justice Department "may have a conflict of interest or extraordinary circumstances are present, a criminal investigation is warranted, and it is in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to investigate the matter."

Such circumstances are clearly present here, they said.

They pointed to the "shockingly reckless breaches" of security protocols and stated that they "clearly warrant an investigation into whether any of the government officials involved violated federal laws pertaining to the proper safeguarding and preservation of such information."

Of course, Pam Bondi is a hardcore MAGA loyalist far more interested in protecting her career than in upholding the law or keeping the American people safe. It's highly unlikely that she will allow a Special Counsel investigation to take place.

That said, this demand for a Special Counsel ensures that the SignalGate story remains firmly in the headlines and at the forefront of the American people's minds. Trump wants this scandal it simply fade away but Democrats are not going to let that happen.

We cannot have incompetent MAGA officials sharing sensitive war plans in unsecured Signal group chats. It puts American lives in danger and makes us the laughingstock of the world.

I do think Bondi will not dare use a Special Council, but as well I do think whatever it takes to keep the story alive and well for as long as possible needs to happen. The other side can makes mistakes with no pressure — so the more they feel, and the longer they feel it, the better.

So many things that people should hear about very frequently. Trump just keeps the ammunition coming.

BREAKING: SignalGate 2.0 hits Donald Trump like an atomic bomb as it's revealed that National Security Mike Waltz and his staff used vulnerable personal Gmail accounts to conduct government business — including discussion of sensitive military positions weapons systems.

This is, quite bluntly, the stupidest administration in American history...

According to a bombshell new report from The Washington Post, three U.S. officials have revealed that Waltz and his staff used Gmail — which is far less secure than even Signal — to discuss issues which should have been restricted to secure channels.

One senior Waltz aid used the popular email service to engage in "highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict."

Waltz himself used to Gmail to discuss what the Post described as "less sensitive" but still "potentially exploitable information" including his schedule and work documents.

"Unless you are using GPG, email is not end-to-end encrypted, and the contents of a message can be intercepted and read at many points, including on Google’s email servers," Eva Galperin, director of cybersecurity for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told the Post.

Obviously, this kind of behavior is incredibly irresponsible because it can be easily exploited by foreign intelligence services, giving them valuable insight into the functioning (or lack thereof in this case) of our government.

Waltz has reportedly been described as a "f*cking idiot" by officials within the Trump administration and he was the one who accidentally added The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat discussing war plans against the Houthis in Yemen. That chat included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio among others.

The simple fact is that these people are utterly incompetent and fundamentally incapable of keeping us safe. Every day that they remain in power is another day closer to catastrophe.

And it is so annoying (gag reflex always stimulated) seeing anything these two and the Reps. party have to say in the way of kids, and wives. In fact, I think nowadays it is worse than ever. Likely nothing would get me thinking possibilities of divorce more than listening to how Reps men talk about women — yet — many of the women seem to be in some odd agreement. Money, status — who knows but I'd have the divorce papers going pronto.
