Yeah. I remember all those MAGAts acting like Trump was SO MUCH better off physically & mentally than Biden. Now their guy is going down for the count. A mere 7.5 months into his term!

Pres. Harding was under suspicion when he died in office (interestingly, shortly after visiting Alaska). He was also 21 years YOUNGER than Trump!
I'm pretty certain that his "blond" color is a rinse that comes out easily - not the same kind of process used to bleach dark hair to a yellow shade. That's why we often see him with white hair - he didn't have time to do the blond rinse.
Well, they gave OUR MONEY to the family of Ashli Babbitt. That's INSANE and DISGUSTING!
To be clear: 1. We’ve taken in roughly $150 billion in tariffs - nowhere near a single trillion, much less trillions. 2. Tariffs single-handedly saving our military — which has been the strongest in the world for decades — is the dumbest shit I’ve read today.
Amazing. I saw that live on TV. One of the strangest incidents I've ever seen in 40+ years of race-watching. Glad to hear Ortiz is okay.
A very clear-cut lie, ("I've never felt better in my life.") He's 79! No one at that age feels all that well. Our best years are always the ones below 40, after all.
Trump isn’t just axing the Constitution. He’s axing something we all love. Watch. https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?feature=shared
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Absolutely. The immigrants we need to forcibly deport are Thiel, Musk and Murdoch. All architects of the destruction of our country.
Republican voters are delusional. They believe what they want to believe (Fox knows that). Until the tariffs ruin Christmas (and a lot of other things) they won't care about how poisonous Trump, et al, are.
donald trump has been convicted of more felonies than 99.9% of Washington DC residents.
Also how do you know DC isn’t a crime-free zone? Because the president lives there
Republican party hasn't had any principles since Lincoln died. They've been allied with the rich for over 135 years. They only care about power and money. Period.
Very, very true.

This is one of the things that shows religionists don't think logically. Why would post-tragedy prayer work when the all-knowing god should have heard these kids praying and KNOWN the shooter was on his way? And a decent god would have helped even without prayer.
Welch: The people that elected Donald Trump are the people that he's punishing the most with this stuff. And you guys, if a democratic president was doing this, would be going bananas. You guys would lose your minds.
Phillip: The final point from my conservative friends at the table. Since when are conservatives cheerleading for tax increases? Since when is it okay for one man to decide that every person in the United States has to pay a higher tax, and he never has to go through congress to do it?
Malignant narcissists always get worse towards the end of their lives.
Papers were pretty rough on people like Jefferson in the early days of the US. Twain wrote that people in politics were in "a hornet's nest with a short shirt-tail." In other words, it's rough, normally. The niceness of Eisenhower v. Stevenson was unusual.
He was 14 when they made Alaska a state. He probably still finds it hard to believe they're part of the US.
Those who really know Trump, have been saying that since 2016. Tony Schwartz, in his post-2024 election tweet, said "Farewell America. I loved you." He had consistently warned us about Trump since 2016.
Now get them out of TX classrooms. Our nut-case Gov. and legislature actually seem to think posters make religious converts, or better-behaved kids. Neither will happen, even if they leave the posters there.
Cover says MD, MBA. Frankly, I wonder why he's bragging about being an MBA. My father was one - it's not that special, and certainly not uncommon.
I wonder if this is true. I rather doubt it.
Haven't they all been hand-picked to be sycophantic towards him? Jim Acosta, Brian Karem, and other good, brave journalists have been removed from the pool. Trump must have his ass-kissers who lob softball questions with no follow-up.
The southerners, in particular, should know that line was mostly directed AT THEM. He and his minions know how bad southern schools are, and have been, for decades.
They KNOW their voters are idiots. They voted for a convicted felon who led an insurrection on the Capitol. A man who could have stopped or impeded the pandemic, but didn't. That's not just endorsing lawlessness - it's being STUPID.
Every time I hear Miller speak, I keep expecting him to pause midsentence and snap a fly out of the air with his tongue.
They're halfway there with the Fox-watching crowd, because they learned a long time ago that "truth" is whatever Fox tells them, or whatever idiotic, baseless thing they want to believe.
The single worst thing that Trump ever did, is make lying something that his whole party does WITH IMPUNITY, 24 hours a day. They now know their voters are so stupid, that it just doesn't matter how big the lies are, or how often they're spewed.
That's a key element of fascism. The "in-crowd" who can do no wrong, and the "outsider class" that must walk a tightrope, and still might fall on the wrong side of justice.
I've tried telling people over and over since 2017, that they LOVE Trump because he's just as disgusting as they are, and as criminal as they'd like to be. They envy and admire those who can get away with crime (just so long as they're white).
That's southerners for you. Unfortunately, I came from a southern family and have been around their utter nonsense almost all of my life. You walk on eggshells around these people because the slightest thing can provoke an absurdly over-the-top angry response.
It's gotten to where there's really no good restaurants under $25.00 per entree. Fast food is really, really bad now. And grossly overpriced ($10-$11 per meal on average in my area).
Did they actually change ANY of the signs? If they didn't, I'd bet they never actually intended to. Publicity ploy that worked, most likely.
They've ALWAYS wanted their side to have enough power to treat other races and "dissidents" horribly. Remember Kent State? That was under Nixon. Nixon & Trump have a LOT in common.
Studies have shown that men are likely to see themselves as much better-looking than they actually are. Women tend to see themselves as significantly worse-looking than they are. It's male ego.
This is why we need to disentangle ourselves from the so called "Old Testament". It advocates violence, racism, incest and murder. Those are just the high points.
Absolutely.
The truth is that fundamentalists are MUCH more like Jews in that they adhere to the Old Testament much more than the New Testament. They love that angry, vengeful god who's also insanely jealous/narcissistic (sound like anyone we know?). A god who tells people to kill other people, not to forgive
Trump described himself perfectly in his projection about Meyers.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
I strongly suspect the logo change at Cracker Barrel was never a serious change. Look at what they got out of this: Millions of dollars' worth of free publicity, and the ability to take advantage of stock value fluctuation (i.e., essentially legal stock manipulation).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five to say F*ck the NRA & F*ck Trump.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
It was truly nauseating. I hope I live long enough to see all of this in the rearview mirror, and to see TRUTHFUL history books in the schools, that deal with this insanity.
“Decades of NRA propaganda and Republican resentment-fueled rage-farming had taken its toll. Minds that were once potentially malleable had closed; their personalities had become both hardened and dumbfounded by the geopolitical complexities for which their worldviews allowed no understanding.”
which was help ORDINARY people.
More likely we'll have Great Depression 2, followed by some sort of revolution, because the "GOP" won't do a damned thing to help the starving masses. FDR and Truman had the WH for 20 years, because the public KNEW then, that "GOP" would not do what FDR and his administration were willing to do - +
When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that the politicized US Supreme Court under CJ John Roberts is just another political body appended to the executive branch. The six conservatives on that court are in fact radicals.
Because the GOP is 100% corrupt. They could have voted the correct way; they chose not to.
Well, if some people who knew him are to be believed, he has at least 25 years of drug abuse in his recent history (probably more like 60, considering his age). It's more than time for that to be having a seriously negative effect on his health.
It appears he's using a catheter that goes down his leg and into a bag. Could explain his awkward gait.
One commonality among all Dictators. Hitler, Mussolini, Castro and Trump. They always seize the Capitol city in order to utilize armed troops to force their will in the seat of power Trump now had armed troops ready to take over Congress and SCOTUS if they defy him Dark times are here #ProudBlue
That would be HILARIOUS. I guarantee you that drinking (even to excess) is extremely common among the self-righteous southern "Christians." There's no hypocrite like a religious hypocrite.
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
in the first place.
I can assure you that the ones who took offense to "deplorable," were the ones that were ALWAYS going to vote "GOP." "GOP" pretends they are on the side of the "downtrodden" white underclass (and middle class). Only they took offense - and Hell would freeze over before they'd vote for Hillary+
Perry was also corrupt, from all appearances. Greed and corruption are the core of the party. Texas gets a pass for some reason; people assume Louisiana is corrupt, but somehow they never think that about TX.
Won't happen, though, because so many are of the cult of Fox (and all right-wing disinformation sources). The average white person in TX is racist; most are also misogynistic because their religions are also misogynistic. They'd be more likely to just not vote, than to vote Democratic.
winning the 1972 election by a landslide, since his 1968 win was so narrow.
They showed their stripes years ago, when they had Ford pardon NIxon to let him get away with everything (including doing everything in his power to destroy the campaign of every viable Democratic candidate). Nixon and Trump are far more alike than most people realize. Nixon was OBSESSED with+
I really wish Pope Leo would have a conversation with Abbott (who is supposed to be a Roman Catholic).
Really! She's probably certifiably insane. She often acts like she is.
She's disgusting in every way. Someone should remind her of the old political phrase, "what goes around, comes around."
I went to DC with my parents in June 1981. No one was afraid, even at night (we had to wait in the dark for a while to get into the Washington Monument). There were lots of tourists there; no one seemed to be afraid.
the military in this situation.
That's what I've been saying - tourists will stay away, because they (wisely) don't trust heavily armed men in uniform, under Trump's "command." This will kill restaurants and hotels in DC if it goes on very long. I'm old enough (barely) to remember Kent State. I DO NOT TRUST+
But it's also what they're asking for. And anyone working as an ICE officer better understand that.
Truly, no decent person would ever work with him - a convicted felon who demands everyone follow his orders no matter how insane or illegal they are.

And if it did, that the perp (president or not) would PAY FOR HIS CRIMES! Of course, the GOP let NIxon go (and I will never forgive them for that - it set the stage for this namby-pamby treatment of Trump).
So disgusting. And to think we were all taught in school that something even remotely like this COULD NOT HAPPEN HERE.
Great movie on TCM right now, "A Face in the Crowd." Tour de force performance from Andy Griffith. Everything in this movie fits with the insanity we've been going through since 1990 (Limbaugh and Fox). Should be mandatory viewing in every high school.
Just more lies. God, I'm so sick of him. If he's talking, he's lying. ALL THE TIME.
I think he wants to be out of the country when Trump succumbs to his health problems. For plausible deniability. I'm only half-joking on that.
The Washington Post just published its latest op-ed lamenting the "outrageously excessive fine" that was imposed on Donald Trump and celebrating it being "thrown out." Democracy died over there. Now we just get to read about its rotting corpse.
In old movies and TV shows (like "Green Acres") every general store had a cracker barrel that locals gathered around to "chew the fat," or whatever. It's decidedly a "country" thing.
They live to complain, and stir up anger among their beloved "poorly educated" Trump fans.
Mostly a glorified IHOP with a souvenir/gadget/etc. store attached. They're on freeways, mostly for people taking long car trips. Nothing special.
Remember when the whackjobs insisted that P & G remove the stars and moon symbol on their products because "that's Satanic"? And P & G capitulated. There are SO MANY IDIOTS in this country, who apparently have WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS.
Huh. It seems to me that the bright colors would get people to ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION to the crosswalk. Something Texas people, for example, could be a lot better at. Most people stop their cars ON TOP of the crosswalk in TX.
She doesn't care. She's there to be a good little Eva Braun-type to Trump.
Oh my god, she is DISGUSTING! Fascist, born and bred! It is not a judge's job to be a lickspittle to a president! Especially a convicted FELON president!
We are pawns and serfs to his "elite" hereditary-wealth club (and the handful of self-made oligarchs).
The sickening thing is that he definitely believes it now belongs to him, and he can install his disgusting offspring as his successors if he wants to. Thanks a lot, McConnell! This disgusting party never had to let him run as their guy in the first place.
Spending OUR money to make monuments to himself, and probably some new ones for the good ol' Confederacy. Disgusting. And this woman should be disbarred and jailed for taking a bribe from Trump years ago.
Comer has no idea what he's talking about, as usual.

These things rarely happen today. Though I'll admit that convenience stores probably don't have a lot of cash these days.
Miller doesn't seem to know what a real crime problem looks like. He should go back to video and police statistics from the 1960s and 1970s. People were often mugged at gunpoint in NYC, and convenience stores were robbed, with the clerks getting shot pretty often. +
