Marge gets 'Real Time' & Donald gets '60 Minutes' (or more)

Marjorie Taylor Greene has gone from "butt of Bill Maher jokes" to "guest on Bill Maher's show," in a span of five-ish years, but the pace with which it occurred just within the year 2025 is what's so breathtaking. It's almost as if the MAGA stalwart is coming to grips with "buyer's remorse" right before our eyes and ears. Make no mistake: she still adores Donald Trump; but she disagrees with him AND their Republican Party an awful lot. Where's this going?

Hey, so what's up with so many of Donald's Cabinet officials holing up on military bases? Do they know something we don't or as my 'Paradise' paranoia (referring to the ABC/Hulu series) getting the better of me? Even MTG was unaware of this.

Also, why is the Pentagon putting together 500-unit National Guard "rapid response units" in each state?

Sunday night we got to see President Donald Trump's sit down (or lean into with the ridiculously long tie dangling perilously close to the ground) with '60 Minutes' Norah O'Donnell. Plenty to dissect there, but can I just say - I thought Norah did as credible a job as is possible when entering the cage with a feral individual like Donald. I mean, he got checked by her plenty, and he didn't sneer or call her a 'nasty woman' or storm off in a huff (that we know of). It's the little things, no?

His ironic embrace of 'Insurrection Act' logic isn't lost on me, though it's lost on American history. Nor is it lost on me he's gone well beyond his campaign rhetoric by continuing to have ICE deport non-criminal immigrants, despite his own enterprises having relied on their labor time and time again.
