Disney in DC!
I'm a retired native Floridian who is distressed to see my state revert to the retrograde attitudes of my childhood. Interests (in random order) - Politics, Books, Travel, Family, Dog, Friends, Cooking, Genealogy and my 50-year project to conquer French

He catastrophizes everything. Now when the economy tanks because of his idiocy, he will blame the Courts (and the Fed).

RFK, Jr said, “shots are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.” My 40 yr old son tried to get the vax at pharmacy and was told he’d need a prescription. Logistics and cost will deter many people. .

I wonder if Laura Lumer is behind these mortgage exposes? She said financial records are part of her extreme vetting.

The same guy trying to establish a Department of War is also campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize. Makes total sense. I read once that “War is peace.”

Trump just called Christie a slob? Has he never heard about a pot calling a kettle black?

What upsets Trump most about Chris Christie and “Bridgegate,” is that Donald didn’t think of it first.

Laura Loomer “vets” people for Trump and looks into their finances, including mortgages. I wonder if she is behind the mortgage “fraud” allegations against Schiif, James, etc.?

Trump has snippets that he strings together in random order. Give him a prompt, and he's off to the races. He doesn't make any sense--there's no logic--but his cult doesn't seem to care.

Aren’t elderly white people the biggest cohort of the MAGA base? Since I am in that age group—I guess I’m what Miller would call a communist—I know quite a few MAGAs who were hippies back in the day.

Russia, Russia, Russia "was a strain on the relationship [with Putin]." A few months ago, Trump claimed that Vladimer and him had gone through the "hoax" had together. When you lie, it's really hard to keep everything straight. Especially when you're not terribly bright.

I don’t think the Kennedy Center gives an award for a schlocky, contrived reality TV show or its MC. Just like he ain’t never gonna get a Nobel prize for anything. His shameless campaigning for recognition is cringe-inducing. If you remember, he badgered Forbes magazine for decades to make The List.

I'm paying for Fox "News" in my cable bill, despite the fact I don't want it and think it's a pox on this nation. The thing about PBS is that if it doesn't exist, an individual's willingness to pay for it doesn't matter.

Kirk talks over people, so his remarks can't be refuted. One of his points was that "the ruling class" lied about Covid vaccine efficacy. Many vaccines aren't 100% effective (measles isn't), but they reduce the severity disease. They are therefore efficacious. So, Kirk is lying about being lied to.

Trump knows that because of his policies the sh*t is going to hit the fan, and he's blaming others in advance.
Connie (@econnie.bsky.social) reply parent
Perhaps Trump's crackdown on "rampant" crime in DC is a way to get leverage over the district and its review process for his Trump Ballroom. It's a card game, and he wants to hold all the cards.

The paved Rose "Garden" is going to be uncomfortably hot in the summer. There will also be a harsh glare from the pavement. But, at least Melania can wear her 5-inch stilettos without sinking into the grass, and it'll be easier for Trump in his elevator shoes.

We're proud of the leaders of the Confederacy who fought against the United States (and lost) and defended enslaving other humans? PS I've never noticed any Hitler statues when visiting Germany.

The Republicans may yet screw themselves. The only way they can make more districts lean Republican is by making other districts lean more Democratic. By Nov 2026, no amount of Oval Office charts and graphs will convince voters that Trump hasn't totally destroyed the economy (among other things).

Russian influence was in plain sight in 2016. About a week before the election, I saw an "article" that the pope had endorsed Trump in my FB feed. They had a disinfo factory working 24/7. Putin was salivating about Trump the Malleable & Bribable Idiot becoming president..

This seems to be a Trump tactic--like when he said the WH called FIFA about returning the gold trophy and the league just told him to keep it in the Oval Office. It's awkward for the FIFA or Harvard president to say the president is lying. sports.yahoo.com/article/trum...
