Ron Klain says Biden's brain was applesauce, but still believed Biden should have stayed in the race after the bad debate with Trump
Well, that doesn't make any sense.
From the story here:
... Even after the disastrous debate, by his own telling to Whipple, Klain believed Biden should have stayed in the race – a statement that jars with Klain’s account of debate prep at Camp David. ...
Mad King Ludwig says pigs will fly
You're going to see billions of dollars, even trillions of dollars coming into our country very soon in the form of tariffs.
Venezuelan gangs in America are an invasion like January 6th riots were an insurrection

Count me out.
Mad King Ludwig will never get the Nobel Peace Prize now, even if he does end the Russian war in Ukraine
US cancels visa of Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias
The former president of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, says his US visa has been revoked.
Arias, a Nobel laureate, said he was informed of the decision weeks after he had publicly criticised Donald Trump, comparing the behaviour of the US president to that of a Roman emperor.
The 84-year-old, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering an end to conflicts in Central America, said US authorities had given no explanation. ...

The New York Times has called the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the candidate endorsed by Democrats
Elon Musk had invested heavily in electing the candidate endorsed by Republicans in the race.
The New York Times shows FL-1 and FL-6 staying Republican with each GOP candidate garnering about 57% of the vote in tonight's special elections to replace Gaetz and Waltz
US HOUSE:
GOP 220
DEM 213 (two vacancies due to deaths; seats expected to stay Democrat yielding 215)
US imports came to $4.11 trillion in 2024: You'd have to tariff this out of existence to pay for the nearly $7 trillion in federal outlays in fiscal 2024
The tariff rate would have to be 170%, not 20% or 25% or even 50%.
Those are not serious proposals.
Humoring Mad King Ludwig about this is an errand worthy only of fools.
GOP in both House and Senate seem to agree that re-upping the 2017 Trump tax cuts won't cost anything even though it did the first time lol, $1.9 trillion over ten years according to the CBO
The Party now says ignore the evidence of your memory.
Reported here:
... At this point, senior House Republicans privately say they think House Republicans will accept the Senate’s push to use the “current policy baseline” accounting tactic to extend the 2017 tax cuts and claim it costs nothing. The biggest hurdle now is the vast discrepancy between the Senate’s targeted spending cut minimums and the House’s $1.5 trillion spending cut target. ...
Judge Boasberg was correct to order the flights to El Salvador to turn around, Trump administration now admits it made a mistake deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia
No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
-- Fifth Amendment
Due process exists to prevent such mistakes. Dictator Trump didn't care about following it.
Who will be his next victim?
From the story here:
... The Trump administration acknowledged late Monday that it had inadvertently deported a man to El Salvador last month despite a court’s determination that he had a legitimate fear of persecution in his home country.
“This removal was an error,” a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official wrote in a statement to a federal judge.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran, was on one of three deportation flights to his home country on March 15 amid a frantic legal fight over President Donald Trump’s decision to invoke war powers to hasten the deportation of more than 100 Venezuela nationals to El Salvador. In addition to the Venezuelans subject to Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act were other deportees with purported gang ties. ...
He was arrested by ICE on March 12 and sent to El Salvador on March 15, where his wife recognized him in a video showing the shackled and shaven prisoners being arrayed by Salvadoran authorities.
The Trump administration now says there’s nothing it can do to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to U.S. custody. ...

Kremlin Karoline admits she doesn't spend very much time with her eight-month-old son
In God She Trusts: Karoline Leavitt's Journey to the White House Podium
... "I spend every second that I possibly can with my son when I'm home on weekends and evenings. I try to make it home for bedtime as much as I can throughout the week."
Which doesn't leave too much time for sleep.
"Actually, it's usually about five to six hours a night is what I'm doing, which is all we need. As President Trump says, when you love your job and you love your life, you don't need to sleep much." ...
I wouldn't say Greenland's PM exploded at Trump, he issued a calm but strongly worded statement
"We must listen when others talk about us. But we must not be shaken. President Trump says the United States is 'getting Greenland.'
"Let me make this clear: The U.S. is not getting that. We don't belong to anyone else. We decide our own future. We must not act out of fear. We must respond with peace, dignity and unity.
"And it is through these values that we must clearly, clearly and calmly show the American president that Greenland is ours. It was like that yesterday. That's how it is today. And that's how it will be in the future."
Marine Le Pen's jail sentence will be an electronic tag lol, which lends credence to the charge that this is merely political and unserious
Reported here:
... Le Pen was also given a four-year prison sentence — two years
suspended and two wearing an electronic tag — and fined 100,000 euros,
although these will not be implemented while any appeals processes are
under way. The ban from public office is immediate, however. ...
Le Pen and 24 other members of her political party, Rassemblement National, were accused of diverting over 3 million euros ($3.3 million) of European Parliament funds to pay staff based in France instead.
Le Pen and her co-accused had denied the charges, while the party describes the trial as a politically-motivated witch hunt. ...
Marine Le Pen sentenced to jail in France, barred from running for office in 2027
Marine Le Pen Sentenced to Prison, Banned From Next Elections Over Embezzlement
... Judges handed down a sentence Monday that bars Le Pen from seeking public office for the next five years, upending France’s political order and thrusting her far-right party into limbo. Le Pen also received a four-year prison sentence, half of which was suspended. The ruling takes Le Pen out of contention for the 2027 race, when President Emmanuel Macron finishes his second and final term and she was expected to be the front-runner. ...

Ukrainian-American Republican Victoria Spartz (IN-5), born in the former Soviet Union in 1978, thinks you are not entitled to due process if you violated the law
She didn't become a U.S. citizen until she was 28, but somehow she gets to decide important matters about spending my money and taxing my wallet without knowing that everyone within the United States is entitled to due process of law, whether here lawfully or not, under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
You cannot just scoop people up and disappear them without a hearing before a judge in a court of law.
That points up the gravity of the crimes Biden committed by letting in so many people so lawlessly. The burden of removing all these people under our laws is heavy. The blame is all his.
But the law is the law.
Start violating due process for some people, and eventually you'll violate it for others, maybe even for ignorant immigrants such as Victoria Spartz who don't know what the hell they are talking about.
As presidential mandates go, Trump's is very small, smaller than Bush 43's second term and smaller than Carter's
The top mandates go to Nixon II at 1.61, Johnson at 1.58, Reagan II at 1.44, IKE II at 1.36, and IKE I at 1.24.
The top combined term mandates go to Reagan at 1.34, Nixon at 1.31, IKE at 1.30, Clinton at 1.17, and Obama at 1.12.
Bush 43 I and Trump I have the dubious distinction of sub-one mandates, meaning they failed to win the popular vote. JFK and Nixon I barely squeaked above 1.000.
