In my 70’s; long enough for some of the stupid to rub off.

If a sexual predator doesn’t call himself a sexual predator is he still a sexual predator?
Straight? Out of curiosity, what did the Pope tell us to do?
Let’s face it, the Pope may know about religion but the GOP has it figured out: Worship guns and blame God for where the bullets land.
Hasn’t this happened before, an authoritarian figure herding innocent children on trains to be “dealt with” as a final solution?
What’s the difference between the Pope telling us guns are bad and any second rate keyboard warrior (like me) saying guns are bad? Now, the Pope directing us to tell politicians to protest guns? That would be something . . .
Sometimes things are time sensitive. But, if Don Trump can’t explain why “time is of the essence” - is it? Or, is his cry for “now!” simply an old man’s demented demand for more instant gratification?
When “atrocities” are so easily sold as patriotism, is buyer’s remorse long to follow?

Nope, President Trump is alive and well; it’s America that he’s killing.
Pathetically, doesn’t Don Trump appointing Jim O'Neill to be the CDC's director confirm the old joke that the last competent professional he hired was Stormy Daniels?

Tacit approval is still approval; and it still enables fascism.
Let’s face it, President Trump is being strategic and logical. If you had aspirations to be a fascist dictator bent on short-term gain for yourself and long-term pain for others, wouldn’t you want to remove all the people and institutions that impeded your ambition?
Make Harris a target, encourage all forms of hatred towards women of intelligence and then ensure her vulnerability. Sounds evil, but hey, that’s just what a mob boss does, right?
Hey, if Putin can control the media and strong-arm dissent, why can’t Trump? All it’ll take is 70 million Americans wanting him to do it - right?
How can the world possibly come to Boston when President Trump’s policies are causing so much havoc at the borders? For God’s sake, even the Canadian girl guides issued a warning about crossing into the USA. Why would anyone (especially those contrary to MAGA dogma) risk crossing the border?
Is the hunger for being deceived growing America? www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...

Lies, lies, and more lies: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...
That Don Trump is willing to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook “for cause” when anything that could possibly constitute cause has not been identified or proven is typical. That is, typical for a narcissist who’s proudly content to be an incompetent dictator. But, I could be wrong . . .
Isn’t Don Trump exactly treating Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook like she’s his property? Firing for cause” when anything that could possibly constitute cause has not been identified or proven is typical. That is, typical for a pathological narcissist that proudly aspires to be a dictator.
That Don Trump is willing to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook “for cause” when anything that could possibly constitute cause has not been identified or proven is . . . well, typical. That is, typical for a pathological narcissist that proudly aspires to be a dictator. Hey, just sayin’ . . .

How dare us fall on our knees to worship guns and then blame God for where the bullets land. Have we learned nothing over the past 25 years? apnews.com/article/minn...

If that picture was scratch ‘n sniff would the stench of sulfur fill the room?
Google’s AI customer service will be able to quickly help. Sure, it’ll only help Google, but it’s still help, right?
Be it hate mongering, gerrymandering or holding back funding, as long as Don Trump keeps escalating tensions between Americans you know who is pleased. And, apparently, that’s what matters, right?
To be sure, a cautionary tale. Add Don Trump’s escalating threats to Greenland and Canadians are fools to believe Don Trump’s 51st state threats are empty.
I was raised to believe Jews were, and are, mistreated. However, Israel has now taught me that a victim can become the victimizer. Shame.
Tacit approval is still approval; in the light of day, when the deafening sound of crickets subsides, maybe the voice of America will find the courage to be unmuted?
Where is America after seven months of Donald Trump? Isn’t it getting closer to exactly the same place Don Trump has always been; right here?
Where could President Trump have possibly got the idea to demand Texas push for gerrymandering; isn’t it right up there with the other strategies to make sure Americans hate their fellow Americans?
It used to be funny that the last time Don Trump hired a competent professional was Stormy Daniels. It still is funny, but it used to be too . . .
And these demands of the media surprises who?
Thankfully, we’re not there quite yet but, if Canadian Brownie’s were part of the Sturmabteilung wouldn’t brown uniforms be more than welcome in Don Trump’s America?
Before Americans voted for Don Trump and facts mattered, that would have been hilarious!
Lest we forget, “Mr. Hockey" would never suggest elbows-up during an entire game would be effective; in fact, it would be absurd.
Let’s drop the pretense. When Don Trump says “America First” he means America Only.
Lest we forget, “Mr. Hockey" would never suggest elbows-up during an entire game would be effective; in fact, it would be absurd.
So, the veil is pulled. MAGA’s America First is proudly revealed for what it really is: America Only.
If mocking tyranny and tyrants worked, wouldn’t Don Trump have already collapsed under the weight of his own absurdity?
Draw your own conclusions; Canada impeded this “sign of peace” and Don Trump has been in retaliation (ie 51st state) mode ever since.
“Newscum” - right. Gotta wonder, if Don Trump’s acolytes knew what ad hominem meant, would it make any difference?
Most teachers are heroic; in no way should we put blame on their shoulders. However, how do we (including school administrators) know how much our teachers know about math and, more importantly, teaching math? How are teachers’ math competency levels measured, publicly reported and remediated?
Who? Dave, D A V E, will you open up the goddamn door? Dave? Ya, Dave! Dave? Right, man, Dave, now will you open up the door? Dave's not here . . .
Are US food groups pleading to the wrong guy?
Being a pedophile may or may not be the rotten cherry on his factually felonious career. But, is speculation really needed to question Don Trump’s competency to represent American values and ambitions?
If representing all Americans is the President’s job, what does gerrymandering and sending armed troops into jurisdictions that didn’t vote Republican represent?
With respect to military history, how will this picture be understood? Hell, how is it even understood now?
Since “he’s right about absolutely everything” simplifying the curriculum to indoctrinate children to live in cultish servitude to Don Trump can’t be that difficult. Cut the school days back to two days a week and end public schooling at grade seven - that ought to do it, right?
Gotta wonder, if Prime Minister Carney sent President Trump a picture of both of them, would it be so cherished?
Is there a proxy indicator that Americans hate Americans more than gerrymandering and that Putin’s tactics are working out beautifully?
“We’re going to make a lot of money, and we’re going to cut taxes for the people of this country,” - Don Trump, April 27, 2025. Who is surprised that “we” and “the people” turns out to be the wealthy and a tariff is a tax in thin disguise for the rest of us?
For the taxpayers, the old joke that Don Trump hasn’t hired a competent professional since Stormy Daniels is becoming far from a laughing matter.
Speaking about “internal affairs” who could ever have predicted Ghislaine Maxwell would praise President Trump?
Who could ever have predicted Ghislaine Maxwell would praise Don Trump?
Right, it’s a sentence fragment snagged from an article. To show how the fragment was properly used in context (as a rhetorical device) I should have quoted the paragraph in its entirety. My bad. But, the original writer’s intentional ambiguity of “illegal” is still pretty darn clever, no?
“President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to remove millions of people in the country illegally.” Now, that’s a sentence open to interpretation.
Could Don Trump actually be anaphylactic to facts?
It’s simple. To dismantle America, enable Putin. Who knows how to do this better than Don Trump?
In Trumpian America, who dares utter facts shall be banished, next . . . Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse.
Maybe. But, you don’t put elbows up when you’re about to put one in the net, eh?
Trump states, “Nobody’s a total victim.” Gotta wonder, what does he see when he looks in a mirror?
An unrelenting barrage of errant golf balls? Can anybody come up with a more fitting metaphor for Trumpian America?
