It was obvious. Everyone saw this coming. Many of us even said it would happen in summer. I take no pleasure in finally being able to anticipate Trump.

The Mayor of NYC is a political dead end. Write it on the blackboard.

I'll repeat my prior comment: the only thing that matters in politics is getting people to vote for you. Biden couldn't stand out in an ordinary primary, but as the most experienced candidate against Trump in '20, he had the political tools to get people to vote for him. That took him over the edge.

Of the last four Republican presidents, three have been idiots who only know how to delegate and get people to vote for them. In our system, the second part is the only thing that matters, for better or worse.

I think a conservative woman who ran as an independent -- with massive money behind her -- could be a contender. Depends where the Republicans are by then.

Everyone knew Musk would be out in six months. I felt I was being too conservative given that it was basically the all-time unstoppable force/immobile object match. Who lost? You, the taxpayers, of course.

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: McConnell's genius and his curse is to have turned politics into, "Who do you want to have power? Us, or them?" It's not pretty or necessarily healthy but the game is what it is. Play it.

@dicknixon.bsky.social I am deeply bored with the Biden story. This is like reading about King Tut's hangnail. It's all old news to anyone who paid attention.

One reason people are talking about Biden this week is that Trump is not in D.C. Once he gets back, news organizations are going to go back to the normal chaos show. The main story here is that the media won't help people because there's no money in it. That should be your takeaway.

I like to see this sort of instant karma. Ol' Jake's been deserving a boot to the sack for a while now.

That's why they call them "useful idiots," Mr. President.

Comey is an all-too-common example of the well-educated dumb guy. Washington is full of these jackasses.

There's a phrase you'd use to describe what the Dems did to Hogg, but I won't share it-- bad taste, even for me.

@dicknixon.bsky.social The bank and the abuse. Bigger than Benedict. Bigger than Francis. I look forward to seeing Leo's approach. My hope is that he carries a big stick to go with his soft voice.

A younger man than Francis, as well. These days, a 69 year old could have a 20 year papacy.

The primary obstacle is Newsom, who is feeling more and more like a low hurdle. I think the bigger hurdle is getting the Sanders crowd to support such a wealthy man.

It's important to remember that whatever comes next is exactly what Trump wanted and what he's been looking to accomplish for over three decades. What this country will experience is not a bug but a feature.

This is an important message for anyone running or planning to run against a GOP incumbent who can't figure it out themselves. President have no power of tariffs. Trump is only able to do this because Congress gave the President the power. Congress cld take that power back at ...

I just saw Mama returned from the shopping club with large amounts of red beans and rice. She was storing it away with the forklift. I reckon we'll be okay here at the ranch.
