    If and when Democrats take control and arrest President Trump for any or many of his crimes against humanity,
    I hope they have the desire and imagination to stand up in the House and Senate and chant "Lock him up".
    Not only would that be very satisfying for viewers who had to put up with Trump and his ugly rally chants,
    it would redefine the attitude of those words and partially de-fragment their power in his supporters' brains.

    She was articulate, intelligent, and determined to bring about change, while never losing her femininity or grace of style. Unfortunately there are very few women today that command these attributes to which other women may look up to and aspire to become.

    Since Mitch McConnell illegally instituted his, "McConnell Rule," for
    Barack Obama, a Democratic President, & now plans to break it-for a
    Republican President – this gives President #Obama, "#Standing," in a
    Legal Case to sue Mitchell McConnell over #RGB's Vacancy-until after the
    2020 Election! BTW – I TWEETed this to "The Lincoln Project," &
    President Obama and then Twitter Banned my Twitter Account!!! 48 hours
    & counting – no reason given – except they considered I might be a
    Bot. I've had a Twitter Account for at least11 years – they are serious
    screwed up…

    She was a brilliant mind, a living legend. During her long life, she's been through some hard stuff, but she never played anything down, she never wavered, she told the truth. She stood for human rights. The rights of all the American people. Regardless of who they are. In one word: She stood for justice. I guess that's what our president had in mind when he said truthfully:« She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not.» https://youtu.be/24QKYig1prU

    I wonder if Trump, McConnell, Graham, etc realize that by making undue haste to replace RBG they are yelling "we have to do this now because we won't get a chance later. Basically, it shows they fear Trump won't be re-elected and/or that they will lose the Senate Majority.

    The Supreme Court is much bigger than one single person namely Ruth Bader Ginsberg. They will survive just fine with out her. You all need to stop being so cynical towards President Trump and show some faith in him and govern yourselves accordingly with your endless hysteria. It's so very unbecoming.

    "Fill that seat!" No respect at all last night from Trump or his herd during his rally. Justice Ginsburg just passed and her family and countless others are mourning. Why am I not surprised at the Trumpers' behavior? Could the fact that 200,000 Americans have died in front of us have numbed them to one more death? How shameful and so very cold and sad.

    According to Jewish tradition, a person who dies on Rosh Hashana, which began last night, is a tzaddik, a person of great righteousness. Baruch Dayan Ha-Emmet, according to Mid-Rash, Jewish wisdom, only the righteous die on Rosh Hashana, or the eve of the holiday. It signifies they were given the full measure of a year. Rest in Peace Ruth Bader Ginsberg

‘Pissing off one of our biggest allies’: MS NOW reacts to Trump’s new tariffs on Canada

Published

on

By



President Trump launched the U.S. into a new trade war with Canada, imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump wants Canada to “negotiate in good faith.” In response, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada was at war with the U.S. and lamented that “America has changed” and promised “dollar for dollar” retaliation. MS NOW Senior White House Reporter Vaughn Hillyard provides more context on how Canada was “the top importer of American goods” prior to 2024. Plus, Jared Bernstein, Senior Fellow for Economic Policy at the Center for American Progress, joins The Weeknight to discuss how Trump’s escalating trade war with Canada could cost American consumers even more.
