Tr*mp is the weakest person to ever be President: physically weak, morally weak, mentally weak, emotionally weak. And people wonder why he can't stick with decisions (like tariffs) and why he lacks basic competence. It's weakness.

Rational reason for Trump’s weakness toward Putin: there are tapes and they must be really bad.

He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing. Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey. And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.

When I think about the essence if Donald Trump, I use the terms asshole, liar, scumbag, piece of shit, human garbage, and traitor. But lately these seem wholly inadequate. I’m open to suggestions for additional, more accurate descriptions. TIA.

Having heard about the Pope’s death, Samuel Alito immediately reached out to the College of Cardinals, volunteering for the role. “I’m already the Pope of the Supreme Court, so it’s an easy choice. And I’m a Reactionary, so that’s a plus!”

Twenty times a day, I get email or text appeals for $$ from the DNC. Are they kidding? Uh, no. I might as well throw my few $$ down the drain. After seeing the weak, pusillanimous Schumer doing nothing, here's what I've decided: NOT ONE CENT TO THE DNC UNTIL SCHUMER IS GONE! Anybody with me?

Trump is a traitor to the United States. If he and his running dogs ignore court orders and tell the judges to fuck off, this is a potential terminal crisis for the United States. There are millions of real Americans who will punish Republican senators and congressmen for failing their duties.

Another nightmare scenario: the Republican senate, in a further act of obeisance to That Guy, confirms Hegseth despite manifold evidence of his unfitness for SecDef. It’s 2AM. The metaphorical red phone rings. China has blockaded Taiwan. Hegseth reaches for the bottle.

I’ve been reading a lot of talk about Trump2 meddling with medicare and SS. He cannot do it by ukase, although he will certainly try. He will need the support of his lackeys in the House and Senate. Any senator or rep who supports this puts his or her life in danger. (Not by me, of course.)

I’ve been getting a lot of new followers. Before I follow back, I check their posts for original content. Many, if not most, solely repost others or have posted nothing yet have many followers. I conclude that these are bots following other bots. Ouroboros.

Merrick Garland didn’t do his fucking job. I don’t give a good Goddamn how “nice,” “noble,” or “careful” people believe him to be. He wasn’t appointed to the Department of Fucking Careful. This country is worse off for him having served as AG.

A thoughtful article, well worth a read, in today's Atlantic discussing the disparity between the perceptions of voters' view of Dem Party main issues vs the reality. Most voters wrongly believed that the Dems were on board with the agressive Progressive Left. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...?

theatlantic.comThe Perception Gap That Explains American PoliticsAmericans overwhelmingly—but, it turns out, mistakenly—believe that Democrats care more about advancing progressive social issues than widely shared economic ones.

Chilling on a ten-day cruise to the Southern Caribbean on the Celebrity Beyond. Huge ship, institutional food, boring ports. The Starlink WiFi is incredible for streaming, but it doesn’t matter since I’ve gone cold-turkey on #MorningJoe. Looking for ex-X friends here.
