How Crazy Does Trump Have To Be Before Any Democrat Calls For The 25th Amendment? Check out his antics from yesterday:
President Donald Trump forced Republicans Tuesday to sit through a daylong policy event at the Kennedy Center, in which he gave a 90-minute rambling of his half-baked greatest campaign hits.
Whether bragging about how awesome he is at passing dementia tests or attacking transgender children, Trump’s torturous speech seemed driven by his desperate desire for an unlikely GOP win in the midterm elections—hoping it might spare him from facing a third impeachment.
Some video:
The Democratic Party can text millions of Americans every single day. Think about that. They have phone numbers, infrastructure, the technical capacity to reach into people’s pockets and demand attention—multiple times daily.
And what do they do with this extraordinary power?
They ask for money.
Not “here’s what’s happening in your state legislature.” Not “here’s a No Kings or Indivisible event where I’ll be speaking.” Not “here’s the one thing you can do this week that actually matters.”
They’ve built one of the most sophisticated mass communication systems in American history and turned it into a digital panhandling operation. Every text is designed to spike your cortisol, extract your credit card number, and leave you feeling worse than before. And you know that if you actually make a donation, then that will increase the likelihood of more appeals in the future.
Meanwhile, we’re staring down an authoritarian administration and millions of people have no idea what to do, where to show up, or how to fight back.
They could be building a movement. Instead, they’re running a shake-down.
The 1%. No, not what you’re thinking:
“To date, the Department has now posted to the DOJ Epstein Library webpage approximately 12,285 documents (comprising approximately 125,575 pages) in response to the Act, and there are more than 2 million documents potentially responsive to the Act that are in various phases of review.
Does anybody else find this hard to believe?:
We noted in our prior letter the hundreds of attorneys dedicated to the review at the time of that letter. Currently, and anticipated for the next few weeks ahead, in the range of over 400 lawyers across the Department will dedicate all or a substantial portion of their workday to the Department’s efforts to comply with the Act.
I call bullshit. This is not an attempt to comply, it’s an attempt to delay forever. If there was any doubt of Trump’s sordid involvement with Epstein, the Justice Department has eliminated those doubts.
Rep. Eric Morrison Introduces Bill To Decriminalize Public Smoking Of Marijuana:
Even though possessing up to an ounce of weed is now a legal right, police still arrest people for imbibing outside of their home — the only place it’s permitted. State Rep. Eric Morrison, a Democrat who represents the Bear area, said about 600 people were charged with public consumption in 2024.
Morrison thinks that’s too harsh a punishment for someone to face for using a legal product, albeit an intoxicating one.
He has introduced a bill to decriminalize the act, making public consumption a civil violation subject to a fine of up to $50 for a first offense and up to $100 for subsequent violations. His bill does not prevent police from charging people for driving under the influence of marijuana.
Morrison said the proposal is a sensible one that still carries a legal consequence for a prohibited act.
“An important thing to note is that this is not sending a message that it’s okay to consume cannabis in public. It’s not,” Morrison stressed. “What it’s doing is reducing the current penalty.”
Morrison pointed out that several other states, including New Jersey, California and Illinois, have adopted similar statutes that still ban public consumption but don’t make it a crime.
“It doesn’t make sense for folks smoking cannabis in public to have a criminal record for that,’’ Morrison said. “Criminal records hurt people in terms of finding housing and finding jobs. That’s not good for society.”
Dueling Suxco Retail Mega-Complexes:
A new competitor has entered the race to build shopping destinations in booming eastern Sussex County. And the winner may become the host to a long desired Costco store.
Local developers Joel Sens and Chris Kalil plan to build a mixed-use development near Milton at the intersection of Routes 1 and 16.
It would have almost as much retail space as Atlantic Fields, the controversial commercial development planned along the often-congested Route 24, near Rehoboth Beach.
And the Milton development, dubbed Ocean One, could face an easier path to approval than Atlantic Fields because existing road infrastructure could better handle shopping center traffic.
The planned development also includes affordable housing, an enticing detail for county planners who face pressure to lower housing costs near the Delaware beaches.
Finally, Sens said his development will be a better spot for a Costco than the Atlantic Fields development 10 miles south. Many residents who expressed support for Atlantic Fields last fall cited the planned Costco store, which would be the first in Southern Delaware, as its draw.
“It’s an easy place to pick up provisions, as opposed to driving further into Rehoboth and trying to get on Route 24,” Sens said of his development’s Milton-area location. “Route 24 is already a disaster, right? I mean, this is just about common sense at this point.”
Well, what would you expect to hear the developer say?
What do you want to talk about?
