Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.
😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

“But the ad is another example of how Ramaswamy’s obnoxious personality has turned a race that should have been a safe GOP win into a toss-up. The candidate’s favorability rating is deeply negative. His fellow Republicans continue to dislike him.”

My latest at Public Notice. Everything Trump touches, dies. Including tourism.
New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."
We ARE the bad guys! Providing support for Russia attacking our allies, Ukraine & providing intelligence to Iran in a war against us. Aiding and abetting our enemies. Thank you, @djrothkopf.bsky.social @petedominick.bsky.social , for saying what you really mean!!!!!

But of course!!!!! First we stomp all over our best friends and neighbors, and then the same guy who shattered generations of friendship begs Canada (Carney) to save his A** before the election. Can 80+ year-old spoiled selfish brats ever learn life lessons?

Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
