Less than a week has passed since Donald Trump threatened the nuclear obliteration of 93 million people and a 7,000-year-old civilization that is a keystone of humanity’s story.
I am almost 80. It's writers like Steve S who keep me from complete despair. Trump and his minions will tamper with ballots. All his people LIE constantly. Now he's posting deranged videos such as the one showing a woman being killed. The Republicans in Congress are spineless.
Helen. Democrat fron North Ga.
Many Southerners are Liberals, btw. We have a strong Dem party in extremely red Southern Appalachia.
Trump is a liar and a demented 80 year old spoiled brat sitting at the Resolute Desk supported by a vile group of sycophantic nitwits and a wife so full of herself she induces projectile vomiting.
Those are two really GREAT men!!! Went to DC for all the right reasons and continue to deliver in all the right ways!! When we are so overcome by corruption and every sort of bad behavior, we should remind ourselves there ARE still good ones at work for us!
"The “yes boss” chorus of sycophantic fools and addled extremists who have risen to power inside the Trump carnival have engineered a strategic victory for the Ayatollahs. It is also a crushing blow to the cause of liberty in Iran, a death blow to NATO in Europe, while enriching Russia, empowering China, and making the United States the world’s preeminent villain. Their collective incompetence is exceptional, historic and truly unprecedented across American history." I hope the Republicans are proud of themselves.
And I was at a board meeting yesterday where the impact of the Big (ugly) Bill's escalating impact will be a tsunami that will continue, not ebb. Plan for a huge growth in homelessness, starving kids, and bankrupt hospitals before the end of the year. The stupidity and cruelty are staggering.
Melania; clearly misspoke. How now to get him to leave us in peace. Trump’s failed war has already cost the world as much as COVID or the global financial crisis, and as much as the entire annual output of China. One man did this, one vainglorious, addled, ridiculous man:
Donald and Melania use the same play book. They both have tried to deflect their relationships by defusing a bomb that has already exploded. All their bluster and denials does is turn the spotlight back onto the whole stinking mess. Thank you, Melania.
I hope that Congress heeds your suggestion to let the survivors tell their stories under oath. There is also a deposition waiting for you and Donald, if you care to accept it.
The only people that need to tell their story under oath is Melania, Donald, Nutlick, and the rest of the suspects that have not been prosecuted or even deposed!
Well let's see. Agolf Shitler used his debacle of a war to distract from the Epstein Files. For a hot minute it almost worked. Now the First Pro is using the Epstein Files to distract from her sugar daddy's war fiasco. There might be some logic in there somewhere but I'll be damned if I can figure out where. Perhaps somebody could explain it. I don't think so, but maybe.
Distract from 1 Distraction in order to distract from another distraction then when 2nd distraction gets too much press distract from that distraction by distracting us by making 1st distraction worse.
Whew, that's exhausting but it goes on by yet another distraction to distract from the distraction you made worse by distracting us again by another distraction.... ad nauseum
Again, when all you’re doing is running a TV show—which is all Trump is doing—the only thing that matters is how many eyeballs you can attract. America’s reputation; thousands dead in Iran and Lebanon; the economy in the toilet; etc.—all of that is totally irrelevant to Mango Mussolini. His only criterion is: “Is it ‘good television’?”
I meant: his only criterion for the NON-scams he's perpetuating (if, in fact, there are any [i.e., is he profiting from this stupid war, getting kickbacks from defense contractors or from he toll booth the Iranians have set up in the Strait of Hormuz, or the oil companies whose profits have soared thanks to him, etc.?]
And speaking of those scams (crypto; Bibles; guitars; watches; Trump University; Trump Foundation; etc.): what's amazing to me is, broadcasters and pundits seem to have no problem pointing out that, at the American cemetery in France in 2018, Trump called the soldiers buried there "losers" and "suckers" for sacrificing their lives for "nothing" (i.e., no monetary return). What's amazing to me is that, to the best of my knowledge, no one has pointed out that that's exactly the way he feels ABOUT HIS SUPPORTERS: suckers and losers he's able to fleece "at will"!
During the 2016 campaign, someone pointed out to Trump that he was doing very well among the poorly-educated, to which Trump replied, "We love the poorly-educated". Which the poorly-educated took to mean that Trump, in fact, loved them, which was why so many of them voted for him.
One has to wonder how many would, in fact, have voted for Trump if he had FINISHED the sentence: "We love the poorly-educated; they're so EASILY CONNED!"
Of course, he never did, which is how we wound up with the worst president in recorded history.
But Steve, this story Plays So Accurately into the (gulp) mindset of TFG. It is addled in its passion for the teenage girl. KL is a glistening Barbie of the bratty nubile terror thrusting her made-up hot-woman image right in TFG's fat face. Her daddy hubby just inoculated her with the creme de la creme for misogynistic males - offspring. The Sophie Rain of the uber class. Then this Cheung dude, the doppelganger of rumpfk itself, ugly, snarling, foul-mouthed, hulking, glaring, bloated, dismissive, insulting, bullying and vapid in its comprehension of what it is actually doing there, other than being a bodyguard to a mafia boss. This entire fiasco is Kabuki Reality TV writ large on the world stage. Humans are fascinated with illusion and razzle dazzle, as TFG's mentor P.T. Barnum often attested to. Most famous phrase in business - 'there is a sucker born every minute.' P.T. Barnum. 22% of 'murka idolizes the Roy Cohn/McCarthy model of dominance; make war on everything and everyone. That is the 22% that revels in the pathological glee of bombing a civilization into extinction, MAGA ( Monstrous Aggression Gone Awry). Got a ring to it, eh?
Hey, Melania. Piss or get off the gold throne. You demean the WH by using that space to make your mysterious statement. You have a lot to say but won’t say it. Move out of the circles, give up the privileges, be seen with anyone else but yourself. The grift is worn out.
They were all in each other's pants. Our "first lady" is nothing more than a Slovenian sell-out, willing to do anything to get and maintain a black car lifestyle, which she ONLY earned through Trump's weird fascination with Eastern European women -- fodder for those among us who continue to think he's a pawn for the Russians, an Eastern asset, a Putin creation. How did she get into this country?? This statement by the Slovenian ___ is a distraction for him and a hedge for her given the increasingly fraught lawsuit brought by Wolff. Keep going, Michael. You have them on the run. As for Trump, he's cornered on the Iranian debacle / cluster and every American patriot needs to keep the pressure on there, too. The ridicule needs to rain down and wash all the shit away, as well as all his staff, such as that blonde traitor and souless fuck Cheung acting as his spokespeople. Their worm tongues are up his ___ and he loves it.
It is a distraction from Hegseth lying about our soldiers that were killed. He said their compound was fortified, it was not, they were exposed and are speaking up about it. Whiskey Pete lied about it.
hypothetical - Mel born in 1970. She was a model? Who in the Epstein network was in charge of gathering the ahem, models? Maxwell was.. Ergo, it was Maxwell who introduced her to the orange one. Just sayin'
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong. Wasn't she on the passenger manifest for Epstein's private planes. including the "Lolita Express"? Wasn't there corroborating statements by other passengers saying that she was on those planes? So, if she was on the "Lolita Express", did she stay on the plane and not get off on Epstein's "Pedo Fantasy Island"? Michael Wolff must have some really dirty dirt on her!

We're proud of Jon Ossof and Raphael Warnock.

I'm 80 in December Helen and................I need my daily Steve fix too. He's smart as can be and delivers his smarts with aplomb.
I was at App State. Found NC politics amazing! Truly psycho. Keep up the fight.
Those are two really GREAT men!!! Went to DC for all the right reasons and continue to deliver in all the right ways!! When we are so overcome by corruption and every sort of bad behavior, we should remind ourselves there ARE still good ones at work for us!
I'm 82, Ms. Meadors, and I would feel lost without having Steve Schmidt, Dean Blundell, and Andy Borowitz to keep me on an even keel.
Thank you Helen, from another Helen!
It’s clear that Frankenstein’s bride needs to sleep with Frankenstein every now and then just to keep their stories straight.
HAHAHAH!!!!!
🤣
Well, eat dinner at the same time at the same table, but as you say, only "every now and then"
Obviously, Putin picked the worst and the dumbest when he assembled Trump’s cabinet.
And not by accident....
Truly epic accomplishment of idiocy! Just cant agree more.
Something about useful idiots…….
I have no doubt they are idiots, but I don't think they are useful at all.
Au contrare
They are VERY useful.
To:
Putin
Xi
Orban
Lukashenko
Jong Un
Wilders
Le Pen
et al
“ Tools “ like these are very hard to find but thankfully easy to use and abuse.
Perhaps, but my view is that they are as useless as teats on a boar. And it's "au contraire".
They're getting the job done....................... whether it's the job WE'd prefer is another story..
but he also selected the very best tool ever.

Trump & his wife need an eviction notice from our White House. Then we need to make them pay for everything they stole & wasted.
Melania; clearly misspoke. How now to get him to leave us in peace. Trump’s failed war has already cost the world as much as COVID or the global financial crisis, and as much as the entire annual output of China. One man did this, one vainglorious, addled, ridiculous man:
No, he didn’t do it alone. He had the soulless Stephen Miller charting this course, as well as his sycophantic members of Congress.
Congress could have stopped this in a NY minute, but chose to bend them knee out of fear of being primaried or attacked by Trump.
They allowed things that if it was a Democrat in the WH they would have been impeached already.
Republicans better start fearing the Democrats and Independents who DIDN’T vote for him.
I don’t want the Republican Party to even exist anymore. I want them destroyed. I’ve never hated people I didn’t know as much as I hate Republicans.
Donald and Melania use the same play book. They both have tried to deflect their relationships by defusing a bomb that has already exploded. All their bluster and denials does is turn the spotlight back onto the whole stinking mess. Thank you, Melania.

tangled webs..........................sit back and be patient
We need some distraction from those Epstein Files so let's start a nuclear war with Iran!!!
Oops, that is going bad.....
OK, let's bring the Epstein Files back in the spotlight to distract from the Iran debacle!!!
Oops again......
Exactly.
Porn star needs to speak English. She has been here for 30 years for gods sake! 🙄
MAGA did make a big deal of Bad Bunny speaking Spanish…
Of course they did. In return, I will make a big deal about how the magas mangle English.
And marry immigrants! 😝😂

Not the only criterion. He also needs to scam a buck.

as my wise 86 year old friend says, Melania is "bought and paid for." Enuff said
