Their poor children. This is the only sport he is interested in. The rest are probably “woke”; especially those which have many Black players — or are they “DEI”?

This is a very escalated escalator response...
Or about his even more massive one? Some say it's the "massivest" in the history of American presidency -- or any history, for that matter!
No, stupid, it's between Cambodia and Albania, not Armenia! Cambodia wanted to invade its closest neighbor and create one country to be called "Cambania." Trump said: "No! I alone can rename countries and gulfs, or start a war!"
I’m sure that’s what Trump and Musk were talking about yesterday… Musk offered 5-10 mil to bury it!
Same yesterday during football games in Seattle
Resemble him? All male and without hair on their heads? All Jews who are supporting Christian Nationalism?
I am pretty sure very few of us find him charming. It's all about how his base does. And even they would find it difficult to associate any notion of charm with Vance.
"Without the charm" is what comforts me when thinking that he may replace T. Not as easily forgiven or revered. And, given how the base is supposedly in love with T's authenticity, JD is definitely not that. Therefore ultimately more impeachable, esp if the House changes hands.
I know... football has been one of my more effective distractions, so it's tough :(
Speaking of football, wanting to boycott ABC and CBS, I find myself watching NFL games today only on... FOX! What irony. And no MNF for me tomorrow.
Was going to point out the same. In order to be truly righteous about others, they need to acknowledge it, apologize, and reinstate Dowd. Whether he now accepts it or not, after all that has happened, is up to him but the network absolutely has to do it or they will always be seen as hypocrites.
“And if he acknowledges he wants them all dead, his base would still appreciate his sincerity and speaking his mind. After all, they also have people they want to see dead.”
At his age, probably complicated by his faulty depth perception as well, which makes going down the stairs much more difficult than up the stairs
Not to see him...
She was mostly covering his bruise, I believe
Yes! I wrote about it earlier as well. And stop watching MNF on either ABC or ESPN. If the ## go substantially down, they will feel it.
or building his ballroom...
I actually think if a sizable number of football fans boycott MNF it may hurt quite a bit, esp ABC
No more Monday Night Football for me, either on ABC or ESPN.
But it is October... :)
Of course she does! The broom is probably waiting in the closet until then
LOL
Not just conspiracies but bad homophobic jokes -- as in "can barely see straight"
It should strongly suggest that the motivation was more personal than ideological. It hurt him that the person he loved, who was transitioning, was ridiculed and insulted by the likes of Kirk. Their exchange spells it out quite clearly
Yes, but no, don’t stop!!
It's okay, you can say "piece of shit." Highly appropriate.
Yes, he is, after all, someone whom UK cannot afford to anger. Plus, I suspect, they want to keep flattering him to make him change his stand on Putin and Ukraine. He will probably make some kind of a "strong" statement but back off it is as soon as he is on the plane heading back
But alas -- "The president and first lady Melania Trump will meet with the King and other members of the royal family on Wednesday in a visit scheduled to include a carriage procession, military bands, and a state banquet at Windsor Castle."
Hope so too. They're creating Soviet-style political prisoners and dissidents. Now we all can be included in that. Wish UK would find a reason to dis-invite him. Like King Charles needs to keep his BP low, or Queen Camilla has a cold and is afraid to pass it onto Melania, whom she so much admires.
It's great but the ## are a bit disappointing since the right-wing rally was twice as large
And NPR most likely will stop their nationwide broadcasting
Don't think sarcasm is appropriate here but you obviously do, so, at least on my end, that's the end of our conversation
Same here but I also don't like the "Lady G" nickname. Yes, he is most likely deeply in the closet and a hypocrite but this sounds -- unintentionally, I'm sure -- like a homophobic slight.
Probably Bolsonara called to complain and he then called Rubio to order him to go out there and make a statement about the witch hunt in Brazil (which is of course of much more relevance to our lives than Putin bombing Poland).
Ditto. Made me root against them but didn't help.
Made my day! Was hoping for that!
In the far-right way rather than in the right way
Fingers crossed
Please don't give me hope again! Been there, done that -- but he WAS seriously agitated last night. Am sure his BP went through the roof.
Don't you dare call him a Nazi!
I'm sure Trump will now increase the tariff on Brazil products to 1M
or just caucus with Dems, like Independents do
I thought her name is spelled "Loona," as in "loonatic" -- No? :)
Another Feinstein. Ugg.
That's true, didn't think of that. Tx!
yikes
yes, I suspect it was a sleepless night; even more sleepless than his usual nights
My sentiment exactly
They both look very moved by the ceremony...
Can anyone decipher what's on his cap?
Thought about it too. Or he may indeed be a disabled vet (too young?) which would explain both his competent shooting from a distance and his possible beef with Trump's policies affecting vets' healthcare. Kirk may have been the closest he could get to Trump
To be fair, he may have worn it to blend in
Oh, please, please, don't call him that!!! Don't listen to Soros!
Have the same question about "antifascist ideology." Is that now also considered "too extreme" and "woke"? Just "sentiments" would've sufficed.
Sounds familiar but, please, don't call him "a fascist"!!!
So Bill Gates awkwardly kissed the ring for nothing???
What's necessary is to combine one's absolute and justified hatred for the guy with clarity on one's stand against gun violence, even if the victim in many ways appeared to endorse it. Yes, it is poetic justice, no question about that, but the post I was responding to goes too far, imho. That's all.
The Breaking News post. I hated Kirk but find it offensive.
Unnecessary right now.
He was not "reporting." I heard it live and it didn't at all register like something one would be fired for at MSNBC
It was the governor, I believe. And your husband is right. To dismiss other, purely personal, not political, reasons out of hand is not something a high level elected governing official should be doing.
Turns out to be BS
Apparently not, as per the news conference right now. Still no suspect. Among those speaking is an FBI official
Just a correction: The instructor was a senior lecture, therefore didn't have tenure and could be easily fired. The dean and chair both have tenure. They were made to step down from their positions but are still with the university
If people here knew more about Stalin (I grew up in the former Soviet Union), they would see more striking parallels than with the other famous tyrants.
More accurately, imho, he is the Stalin of our time.
President Trump just posted on social media in support of Charlie Kirk. “We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot,” he wrote on Truth Social. “A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!” From head to butt?
No argument there
Marco always looks so forlorn. Don't think he is enjoying accompanying Trump when T is asked about his pedophilia and people at the restaurant call him "Hitler of our times" while those on the street boo and yell "Fuck you!"
Cannot see how long his tie is; probably long. And it has always struck me how his maternal grandfather looks like Trump. Melania marrying her own father (virtually the same age)?
This is a gesture of a mobster, not a president
And then he motions with his hand that the secret service should remove them, and they start dragging them out
Like the Soviet Union where I grew up
Great title!
Of course! I just ran out of allotted letters :)
There was no chance it would go to J. Even siblings themselves had to know that FOX would start losing money if it became more liberal. This way they got much more money than they would've if the ownership changed. And this way they are also not responsible for what FOX stands for. It's a win-win.
Did they or someone on the committee leaked it? I believe it was the latter
Leaks have begun; didn't take long --- hooray!
Not sure but I doubt it's Melania. Why wouldn't she be sitting next to him but instead on his far right? I saw a picture of her near the helicopter before Trump flew to NYC so it IS confusing
probably embarrassed
See, so many differences, really important ones!
But, but, but, it's different! The umbrellas are yellow!
Unless I'm missing something, was he even asked about the boos? I am sure he would let us believe they were cheers...
Who are these reporters who are sucking up to him and don't educate him about restaurants actually losing business because the city is occupied and looks unwelcoming. He lives in a reality of his own, enabled by sycophants around him but, for fuck's sake, don't just nod your heads, challenge him!
ESP, of course, Black women reporters. Double whammy for them, racism and sexism
Bondi, Leavitt? They are always adoring, aren't they?
His granddaughter, that is
No, it’s not her. She wouldn’t have stood in the corner but would be sitting where her granddaughter was forced to sit
It's interesting that neither Ivanka (even though her husband and daughter are there) nor Melania (who supposedly spends much more time in NYC than Florida), were there. Replaced by non-related women who look at him adoringly.
I don't want to be booed, dad. Why do I have to be here?
It was supposed to be all sold out but so many were still waiting outside to be let in even 90 mins after the scheduled starting time
Given how USTA was censuring broadcasts, I hope they stand to lose a whole bunch of money. Almost as satisfying as the WH having to eat it.
I agree but USTA is a different matter, pretty sure of that. Pres or no pres, one doesn't pay hundreds of dollars just to be let in half the match through, or even worse
Hope they all DEMAND refunds from USTA or, better yet, the WH.
And why not? They have Trump on their side plus he himself wants to do the same thing in other parts of the world
And to cancel elections -- wartime...
There are at least 5 GOP senators who seem to hate Trump's guts and seem to well know where we are careening -- Rand, Tillis, McConnell, Collins, Murkowski. Enough to make T's life much more difficult -- and yet
Haven't seen his penis (thank god!!) but his hands are clearly way too disproportionately small here
