Why is the word "gaffe" so seldom included in Trump articles? He makes gaffes like cows fart, in the hundreds daily, but they are still gaffes. I think the word "weird" should also be deployed for almost everything his administration does, in addition to questions of legality and constitutionality.

What is happening to the Whitehouse right now is a metaphor for our country. It is being permanently ruined by a bunch of dumba**es, and they are only just starting. This country is done, being destroyed from within. A government that allows this is not worth saving.

Republicans, with their preponderance of authoritarian personality types, have always been enormous hypocrites, but lately, with their cancel culture/free speech frenzy and absolute lawlessness in weaponizing the government, they are jaw-droppingly hypocritical. Self awareness approaching zero.

Remember when the Group of Pedos used to shout "Tyranny" all the time about Obama's and Biden's attempts to lead the nation down common sense paths? I do. Apparently, they don't know what that word means.

How absurd to have Tulsi Gabbard, plausibly accused of being a foreign asset, accusing Barack Obama of treason for allowing a much needed investigation to proceed.

This is what you get when an ignorant man can only get ignorant people to work for him. No one stops him from saying ridiculously embarrassing things like this.

Our president today mocked the intellects of AOC and Jasmin Crockett while also complaining about who appointed Jerome Powell (him, he forgot), and claiming his Uncle, a professor at MIT, taught Ted Kaczynski, who went to Harvard. It will probably get worse.

So many thoughts after reading this. What if a Christian ran to keep housing costs down, food prices down and to decrease inequality? Why is there so much hate for kindness?

The biggest difference between the early 3rd Reich and the current USA is people who speak out against our leadership are not being routinely imprisoned or killed. But they want to do that, and they are laying the foundations.

If I were a multi-billionaire now, I wouldn't rest until I found a way to keep funding HIV treatment programs dropped by the US government. No bigger return on investment is available to the non-paychopath.

Fascism and Authoritarian tendencies are words that are easy to gloss over and are not always understood. Evil describes so many current items perfectly. It is evil to kidnap, incarcerate, and exile without due process humans for civil immigration violations, deny basic rights, kill noncombatants.

What if things worked like this in the USA? Massive protests against a controversial and unconstitutional practice by the government, so the government ceases that practice. One can dream.

As a rule, politicians are loose with the truth. But there has never been this level of dishonesty in the executive branch. You would be hard pressed to find one true thing a day coming out of every office and department. It is a magnitude 9 lie-quake all day, every day.

I think the best way to take on Trump is to ignore him. The media should stop going to his gaggles and stop talking about him, referring instead to the administration and all their mistakes and crimes.

As a former devout Roman Catholic (social justice version), it is hard not to emphasize enough this Easter how little modern Christianity has to do with the teachings of Jesus. Christianity has become a cover for extreme selfishness and tribalism, two of the things Jesus discouraged the most.

50501 protests in Bethlehem. You won't find a nicer, more caring bunch of humans. True patriots, they want the best government, the best country for everyone.

Hands Off organized peaceful protests today across the nation. I was in the Lehigh Valley in an occasional drizzle with good people who cannot let what is happening in our capitol and around the world go without showing their disapproval. We need much more of this all the time.

Looks like the USA will leave NATO and align with Russia and Belarus in a new pact called LIARS. The letters don't stand for anything. The only way you can say it is by shouting, so all caps.

You are up to date.
