Trump's speech was a relentless lie. And the groveling GOP couldn’t get enough.

A great opinion piece! Spot on! Trump, his sycophants, cultists, and the Republicans who fear him are going to play in his make-believe kingdom for the rest of his life. Here, in the real world we reside in, we know that we are in trouble. He is a petty, vengeful, insane(ly) boring crime boss. 🖖🙏

For those who enjoy being lied to: I hope you have a really nice day.

Only one Dem was willing to get removed to call out the lies. We’re screwed.

It was also almost entirely slurred.

Great recap. Hope it’s not obnoxious of me to point out a typo at the end: “The things happening our dire.” Things are definitely dire!

5 alarm fire and 1/2 that room was happily inhaling the fetid mango air & clapping their paws in agreement with it.

(you’ve got a typo)

“The things happening dire. Truly. But listening to the old con artist blabber made up stories about how great everything is?

That’s gotten boring as hell”

“If you believe in truth, if you keep even a toenail dipped in the waters of objective reality, President Donald Trump’s address to Congress was a divisive and staggering fiction.”

“I cannot tell a lie” - George Washington

“I cannot tell the truth” - Donald Trump

“I cannot tell the difference” - Republicans

Among many other reasons, I’m sad because the great humorist Huppke can’t even find a humor balloon to pop in the face of this monstrosity, the Orange Felon & his minions.

There was some pie in the sky rhetoric, but you are nothing more than a statist—exercising, the illusion of autonomy in the name of finite-small-minded existentialism.
Sry bruv, that ideology has had its way since Darwin & it’s proved to be nothing but disastrous for the human race…prove me wrong!

rblaine21960.bsky.social•7 days ago

Bruv, what’s boring is your constant ad hominem blathering! Why don’t you prove yourself to be a respectful, intelligent journalist instead of another whining, petulant, high-chair journalist that saw the election turn out differently than you wanted?!

nothing like a sh!t sandwich from the ole Hamberdler, eh GOP?

The blueprint is Russian oligarchy: In the 1990s, Russia’s most profitable organisations were dismantled and taken over by tycoons able to take advantage of an increasingly compromised privatisation process and seize control of hugely profitable state enterprises.

Terrific column - spot on in every way. Grateful for your unflinching truth telling. It's much needed!
