And no voter fraud crisis, either. The 2020 election wasn’t stolen. There is no massive voter fraud.

Bull F-ing Shit. She loves everything about it but now just wants political cover.

The single best part of all of this is the conservative attitude that Trump and the GOP are essentially “owed” brazen, flagrant corruption on a world historic scale because of, basically, Hunter Biden. They spent four years concocting a conspiracy and now they want theirs.

Never in American history has there been a more pathetic political figure. Just a pathetic chump.

The GOP is a party of ritual cruelty. And yeah, we all know damned well who he voted for and what party runs Florida. Cruel.

This guy dumped the HBO brand—one of the strongest brands in media history, in such a bone-headed he’s now backpedaling two years later. And he gets a massive pay RAISE. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Politically, how does any member of Congress oppose banning stock trading? How is this not a lay-up?

One of the profound disappointments of the last six months has been that people of extraordinary wealth and power could have stood against him and been remembered for all time. Instead they bowed to him to make a little more money they’ll never spend.

Reagan taught a doctrine of government being the problem. And conservatives are now letting Trump take that to its logical conclusion: dismantling it in front of us and leaving us open to attack by our enemies. It’s like he’s working for them.

I’m so sorry Marc.

This MUST become deafening, unavoidable news, or many more will suffer the same injustice. The entire El Salvador project needs to be discredited. It’s a moral travesty.

He's pathetic on a different scale than the world has ever seen in public life.

Since they’ve already abandoned the pretense that they’re trying to cut the costs of government, why do they really want to dismantle the country’s scientific infrastructure?

We’ll be lucky if any of us survive to 2029, and I’m only being slightly overly dramatic about that. There’s no precedent for where he’s taking us. I worry every day for my kids’ futures. Every single day.

MAGA

I’ll never ever understand why the major newspapers don’t consider it a major news event when a president goes on a deranged rant. It’s as if they think because it’s on social media it’s not news. No, this is news and should be covered like news.

Crossing the American border is somehow now the greatest crime a human being can commit.

It is and always has first been about him robbing the country for as much money as humanly possible in four years. Absolutely possible that he’ll end his term the world’s wealthiest man and somehow no republican will mind.

Guaranteed this mistake was on purpose. Guaranteed. He does this all the time. Now everybody piles on, and his loyalists rally around him because they’ve done it so many times they have no choice. They’ve debased themselves so often, why would now be different?

By this definition, if we eliminate all trade and essentially shut down the economy, that’s the ultimate cost savings move.

Sometimes it’s like they really don’t know Trump’s all over those files.

Trump’s contempt for his office is boundless.
A decade into this era and it’s something I still can’t digest. Intentionally electing someone who will spend his every waking moment making a mockery of the institution of the presidency. Why are they so hungry to defile that office?

Fully anticipating a “MAGA Schism” as MAGA Catholics demand their own competing pope to serve their preferences and seek to anoint Pope Trump. Wait for it. It’s the stupidest possible outcome, so somebody in MAGA world must be working on it.

I’d like to see an enterprising Democratic presidential hopeful announce that they’re keeping a record of every one of these incidents, and take an “on day one” page from Trump’s playbook declaring that if elected charges will be filed against all of them on day one of the next administration.

Somebody needs to put a bathroom sign on the door to her office in Congress. It is a toilet.

The ability to flaunt shamelessness today and be celebrated for it rather than face consequences is a major problem for our country and its ability to thrive.

Throughout our history America has faced extraordinary crises and there have been extraordinary citizens there to respond. He could have been one of them. He chose not to. Now he looks in wistfully at the civic wreckage he helped to create.

The lack of integrity in right wing media—to not call out blatant absurdity like this—is a profound civic problem in America. This is *air traffic control* he’s lying about. The group that helps to keep millions of travelers safe every day. Yet they still let him do this. Not a word.

The Dems should be making this Trump’s Jimmy Carter “malaise” speech moment.

Dismantling the country from the seat of government.

So he DOES know that prices WILL go up and people will be able to afford LESS of what they want. He just thinks it’s fine.
And thinks it’s the government’s role to make it harder to buy things you don’t “need”.
And government decides what you “need”.
“Conservative!”

Peak MAGA will be when they start arguing that not putting his hand on the Bible means he’s not bound by the constitution after all. Peak Trump will be his lawyers loving that argument and taking it to SCOTUS.
Wait for it. It’s coming.

It’s not about bringing back manufacturing, or rebalancing trade, or stopping fentanyl, or any of the rest of the justifications. It’s a cudgel he can use to beat on anyone he dislikes. And he doesn’t care what harm he causes because he’s corruptly making millions from the office.

I guess we’re in for a four year demonstration of what happens when a president doesn’t take the job seriously.

His fans would insist he’s not a Russian asset, but DAMN if he isn’t doing everything you’d want your asset to do if you were intent on destroying America covertly.

I’m not offended by his Pope post. I’m offended by how he wastes the privilege of the office he holds.

Offering up a thought that Anakin was the original MAGA—a dimwit missing the obvious bad guy standing right in front of him, then supporting all the bad stuff and spinning it as good.

Hey Democrats! He’s gift wrapping the young struggling parent vote, and the small business owner vote. Use this!

MAGA: “If a person doesn’t need to buy something, the government should make it more difficult to buy it.”
The dream policy position of every business owner or manager.
