Who was the lady in the green dress in the front row and seated to the left of Biden? She stood and applauded many times reacting to Trump's speech -- and the rest of that section stayed seated? Section included ex-Presidents, etc.
Is there going to be any discussion of the Public Humiliation of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? They had to sit in a place of prominence, like two condemned prisoners on an execution scaffold, as everyone around them applauded Trump’s trashing of their administration.
Melania’s Inauguration Hat certainly needs a Free Press article of its own. As soon as I saw it I assumed she was dressed as Barry McKenzie the Australian cartoon character. It was as if she wanted to be invisible.
I think Trump's pardons of actual violent criminals is far more precedent-breaking than protecting people (pre-pardoning) from a known extreme fabulist and precedent-breaker.
Biden commuted the life sentence of Leonard Peltier, who murdered two FBI agents - over Chris Wray's objection. He also pardoned Capital Police Officer Michael Byrd, who murdered unarmed Ashli Babbitt on J6, as well as commuting the death sentences of many other murderers, and commuting the sentence of Rita Crundwell, who embezzled $53.7 million from the city of Dixon, IL. Most of the J6 rioters have been in jail for years, and many of their sentences were excessive.
Eli Lake has the cahones to rant about Biden’s clemency and pardon practices?! And no one laughed! Trump has sworn revenge, retribution, vengeance (is mine saith the Lord Trump) against people doing their jobs in a republic. Trump just pardoned 1600 criminals, hundreds of whom were exceedingly violent and who threatened death for Pence and Pelosi. Officer Fanone and his family have lived under constant death threats since the hearings, and now neo-Nazis, violent white supremacists and assorted armed fanatics are stalking the land once again.
And Lake has the nerve…
Let the GOP NEVER again call itself the ‘law and order’ party. What bull. What a nerve.
On taking back the Panama Canal. One must go back to the Neutrality treaty of 1977. The Treaty called for permanent neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal for all nations to use it, and stated that the United States could use its military force to defend the Panama Canal against any threat to its neutrality. Currently China operates ports on either end of the Panama Canal which is seen as potentially interfering with an open and neutral canal. As to withdrawing from the WHO, in 2024 and before Trump one, the US was one of the largest contributors to the WHO budget. China, who has a significantly larger population than the US and who technically is no longer a BRICS country along with other transitioning countries have not had its dues recalculated based upon economic development. Trump's also disapproves of how the WHO handled the coronavirus investigation. Both are legitimate issues that need to be addressed.
China does not control the Panama Canal itself. But before the handover, a Hong Kong shipping company, Hutchison Ports PPC, won an international bid in 1997 to allow Chinese companies to operate the container shipping ports on either end. Hutchison Ports PPC and its parent company, CK Hutchison Holdings, are not owned by the Chinese government but they are subject to China's national security law. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2025/01/21/panama-canal-trump-us-china/77845029007/. Trump was right to withdraw the US from the WHO.
And you don’t believe that being subject to Chinese National security law could impact and influence commercial as well as defense use of the canal? President Trumps bluster on this is his usual strategic use of controversy to get a response. I predict he and Mulino will meet soon.
$6 a dozen this morning for eggs in Phoenix, AZ. Not a MAGA in sight howling about high food prices. But sure, tell me again how Trump was going to fix inflation on Day One, along with settling the Russia-Ukraine War . . .
Too busy beating up General Milley's painting, I guess. Maybe today eggs with hit $2.
Just curious...how would you fix egg prices on Day 1 after a flu that killed untold numbers of hens? I understand that you hate Trump but your stance might be a bit unreasonable. Unless, of course, you believe Trump has the power to create hens overnights. As for Milley, jail is too good for this man.
Wasting your time with him, he has TDS brain rot and there is no know cure. USDA forecasts egg prices to drop by 35%-50% by the end of 2025, in part due to the actions taken on inauguration day by our new President. These actions will decrease inflation in general. Promises made, promises kept.
It's all too difficult to comprehend for TDS victims. They should have our sympathies. It's going to be a long, excruciating 4 years for them.
Take that up with Trump. Cheap food prices on Day One wasn't my stance, it was his:
Speaking in front of a table of packaged foods, Trump used an August, 2024 press conference to draw attention to food inflation during his campaign for president. “Grocery prices have skyrocketed,” he said.
“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one,” Trump continued. “We will drill, baby, drill,” he said, referring to increasing domestic oil production. “That’s going to bring down prices of everything.”
If he can't possibly do that, then why did he say he would?
Yes, really. He vowed that on Day One of his administration, grocery prices would fall and he would end the Russian conquest of Ukraine. Neither happened. Why wouldn't I hold him accountable for his promises? Or was he lying about both?
Because Trump threaten to have Milley executed if he won the presidency, and so Biden correctly eliminated that lethal threat by issuing the pardon. Milley did nothing wrong or treasonous by calling his Chinese counterpart to tell him Trump wasn't going to attack China so keep your fingers off your nuclear buttons. He was correct to have done so.
General Milley restored my faith in the military. He’s in the best tradition of our greatest modern generals - including Eisenhower, Marshall, Bradley.
Biden saves lives from Trump’s pagan godhead vengeance, while Trump pardons violent armed neo-Nazis and white supremacists. And that’s okay with you? I have darling Trump voting neighbors with whom it’s NOT okay, I’m grateful to report. Thank goodness not all Trump supporters are violent criminals, even if Trump makes it okay to be so.
I may be confusing him with some other general, but he allegedly informed the CCP that he would not follow Trump's order if Trump ordered an attack. The proggies were convinced Trump would order an attack on China in order to stay in power. Something like that. Trump (bombastic as always) says this was treason! Maybe IDK. But, that's why the pardon.
Milley committed a serious court martial offense in going behind HIS Commander in Chief’s back, by EVEN taking it upon himself, to contact the CCP — under ANY circumstances having to do with our Military!
His was another case of rabid “TDS” that would definitely have gotten him serious trouble had Biden not pardoned him.
Every one understands this, EXCEPT those “TDS” infected who are going to whine & bitch for the next 4 years, “But, but, but Trump …!”
Milley did not commit treason. He did his job. He knew Trump had no intention of going to war with China despite the president's harsh rhetoric toward the CCP at the time, so he called his counterpart to ensure China kept its fingers off its nuclear buttons to ensure no lethal mistakes would be made. De-escalation of tensions is part of his job. In his own words:
You may not like Gen. Milley's phone calls, but they were not treason. They were not even illegal, they were part of his job. That Trump called him a traitor later on would have been slander and libel had they not both been public figures.

Senator Debra Fischer of Nebraska.

I almost felt sorry for them.
They quietly played their parts in the peaceful transfer of power to the other party. After the last four years, they deserve no sorrow.
Melania’s Inauguration Hat certainly needs a Free Press article of its own. As soon as I saw it I assumed she was dressed as Barry McKenzie the Australian cartoon character. It was as if she wanted to be invisible.

A lot of other singers would have been dead in the water because they would have been lip-syncing.

Biden pardoned over 8000 people. Including his entire family for anything they *might* have done. Ever.
Biden set a precedent. Trump isn't calling for revenge, he's calling for JUSTICE. Something democrats simply don't comprehend.
wait—Biden eroding norms?? Trump makes his own norms..

Trump's Back. What Now? ---The Free Press
Well, for you hard lefties out there...here's a suggestion:
Why not join the Peoples Temple?
You'd like them.... They're VERY Progressive!
You could go to Guyana.
They're already drinking the leftist Kool-Aid.
Carrie nailed it. Always makes me cry.
Whenever a crowd sings along like that, I get choked up too.
An article on Biden's unpardonable last act, but no article on the J6 pardons? Come on now, let's focus on the entire issue
The prevention of the genital mutilation of minors is The Civil Rights Issue of Our Time.

Why was Milley pardoned? Anyone care to answer.

Always good to cite a reliable source like PBS Newshour.
I posted it for the video content, Dennis. Was it too much to expect of you to watch and hear what he actually said?
Yes, he was that general, and IMO, treason.
You may not like Gen. Milley's phone calls, but they were not treason. They were not even illegal, they were part of his job. That Trump called him a traitor later on would have been slander and libel had they not both been public figures.
H's fixed it, you just haven't seen it being so far out west.
Uh-huh.
Well Oliver Wiseman is back with his passive aggressive trump-hating. Maybe he'd be happier back home in England bowing to the Muslims?
