49.9% of the people who Voted. NOT 49.9% “of the people”. I wish, Steve, you would very clearly make this distinction for your readers. And that same 49.9% is not half the populace either.
Steve, stop making the same mistake that others make. University of Florida Election Lab reports that 36.12% of eligible voters did not vote. That is a NO vote for trump and for Harris and for the value to those citizens of elections. But, they count because they are part of the electorate. This was a landslide vote against trump. MAGA has achieved minority rule with support that is much smaller than Republicans believed they would need to achieve fifteen years ago.
"President(?!)" Trump was grunted into our nation by sociopaths posing as Americans. Their posing did not mean it was necessarily so. Trump is not an American. He can't fathom what being an American is about.
Steve -STOP! He was NOT elected by 49.9% of the "American People". To the contrary, he was elected by 49.9% of voters who voted - which translates into 31.7% of those eligible to vote and a far smaller percentage of citizens - many of whom are too young to vote.
So please stop giving this buffoon so much more of a "mandate" than he's entitled top.
The guy who says "I put safety first" has the unmitigated gall to put forward the likes of Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel, RFK,jr, . It is worse than irony, it is beyond appalling. Resist! Oppose! Stand strong!
A laugh-track can have a chuckle, a normal laugh like you're in on the joke, or a diabolical laugh that would describe desperation at the insanity of it all. Just acknowledging the madness would be comforting that you're not just making up what you heard. Of course, sickness really isn't funny. But look at what people voted for! 😂
Only a great catastrophe may wake up enough people to say that electing this MAGA crew was a bad idea. Then again, when you’re electing people like Tommy Tuberville or Marsha Blackburn, you are already beyond hope.
I was watching the Patel and Gabbard hearings before seeing the trumpian press disaster. I think his DEI nominations should be rejected not only because they are unqualified and dangerous picks, but because if it hadn’t been for the increased awareness caused by DEI policies his picks would not have risen to the levels that they have. Sen Graham even asked Patel if he had been subjected to discrimination ( one of the only questions Patel answered - and his answer was Yes.) Sen Ernst went on for five minutes about the barriers Gabbard broke through in her career. Come on DEMS call out this BS.
Actually it’s not 49.9% of the American public that voted for Trump. It was 49.9% of those people who voted. When you add in folks too young, too debilitated, unable to vote and those who decided not to vote (their fault), the percentage is much smaller.
I was at the Dekalb Farmers Market today, it's the biggest indoor market I have ever been in, I have been shopping there over 30 years, the egg section is between 20' and 30' long, say 6' high and 4' deep. How many thousands of eggs do you think it holds, 50 might be conservative, whatever it is it's usually a wall of fresh eggs. Today there was not even one egg much less a dozen, none. I took a picture of it with my phone because I have never seen anything like it. Do you think the insipid orange turd is going arrange for more eggs, I wouldn't hold my breath. The bird flu is here and we are beset by a pestilence in the Oval Office.
What is even scarier is that Trump stoped the CDC from reporting any of their findings, to the public! That is not protecting the people of America! Did any of the senators present that to JFK Jr., when they questioned him? I don't think so!
I doubt RFK Jr. would have had an intelligible response. His testimony at the hearing was stomach churning. Any Senator who votes for him will be guilty of depraved and indifferent homicide for all the deaths he will undoubtedly cause.
Whoever would have guessed that God would have sent to save us a degenerate sex pervert, con-man, inveterate blowhard and delusional scoundrel ?
Trump avoided placing his hand on any Bible in which the following words in the Book of Matthew (King James version) appear: "What profit a man to gain the world, and lose his soul."
I watched the press conference. Why does the press ask questions and accept lies as answers? Why do none of them say, ‘Mr. President, that’s a lie.’ and get up and walk out? If the press were to stop reporting on lies, and stopped attending his press briefings, we wouldn’t hear the shit he says and no one would be there to listen to him lie. Someone should tell the White House correspondents that Trump lying is not news.
I think you have something there. Walking out of a press conference because you are being lied to would be a powerful statement. Please, someone has to organize to make these things happe. It seems no individual has the courage to do it alone.
The White House Press Corps is feckless because they are employed by obeisant, ‘Good German’ corporate owners more interested in raking in moola than speaking truth to power, the value and function that should be supervening for a profession, the Fourth Estate, that is indispensable to the health and survival of democracy.
Nobody is going to tell the emperor he has no clothes because they all know they will immediately be deported (no matter where they were born) or sent Guantanamo for life.
Donald has done the investigation for the FAA so there is no need go any further. Trump has decided the outcome before all facts are known which is not a problem because facts never stood in the way of a sharpie. Remember how he determined the path of the hurricane's destruction. I am waiting for the Republicans to bend over backwards to back up Trump's claims.
The Predator of the United States decrees: Let there be malice towards all and charity for none, as he pronounces the new age of Golden Showers... as he pisses on our great, but wounded country.
Once again you nailed Trump’s moral debauchery, lies and stupidity which his ever devoted sycophants will repeat until they deny that he said anything that he did, despite the overwhelming evidence. It is maddening and we must never stop confronting his ignorance, incompetence and lies.
Think about this. It seems that the USA has more guns amongst its people than any other country. Civil War breaks out. The people have automatic rifles, not just pistols and rifles. Hunters have developed shooting accuracy skills.
When people become fed up because they have no jobs, money, etc who are they going to take their anger out on?
Kindly read my reply in this thread about how an alternative resistance could look. Everything is different now in every way, even in terms of how we can fight back.
Once again, Trump has seized on an unimaginable tragedy to aggrandize himself. And he will be believed and seconded….Sometimes I wonder how close to the surface American sadism lingers. I don’t think we can have a history of owning other human beings—it’s epigenetic—that we’ve never reckoned with in all its subsequent iterations and not be vulnerable to the deep biases in our culture. After all, it was Hitler who took notes on Jim Crow on his way to the Final Solution.
I watched the Trump presser. He was disgusting in his implications of who/what caused the crash. Hegseth all but gave the names of the helicopter victims...he gave their rank! I'm sure someone on that helicopter was black/brown/female/gay... The way Trump described Mayor Pete was with complete contempt. I could go on but I think you covered it. Watching Nichole now and hearing the coaches of these young skaters on that flight is heartbreaking💔
Also Rachel Maddow said the military code is to never release the rank and position of any individual who has died before 24 hrs. Hegseth knows nothing!!!
49.9% of the people who Voted. NOT 49.9% “of the people”. I wish, Steve, you would very clearly make this distinction for your readers. And that same 49.9% is not half the populace either.
Yes. Just over one-third of the eligible voting population voted for him.
Steve, stop making the same mistake that others make. University of Florida Election Lab reports that 36.12% of eligible voters did not vote. That is a NO vote for trump and for Harris and for the value to those citizens of elections. But, they count because they are part of the electorate. This was a landslide vote against trump.

came here to say that!

You go, girl!

I want to add something, however it all comes out in 4 letter words .. so I’m thinking I will just say WTF!

In the end, I’m quite sure we will find out tRump and his cronies totally rigged the election.

Thank you! Will be posting!
Indeed! Have been saying this since November 5!!
He was sent by the ignorant to lower the price of eggs. Period. They have no idea what the constitution is.

I wonder how many of his supporters witnessing this called him to ask why he isn't doing anything about this like he "promised"...
Whoever would have guessed that God would have sent to save us a degenerate sex pervert, con-man, inveterate blowhard and delusional scoundrel ?
Trump avoided placing his hand on any Bible in which the following words in the Book of Matthew (King James version) appear: "What profit a man to gain the world, and lose his soul."
Sounds straight out of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible
I'm sure he knows that Bible backwards and forwards and made the decision to break with tradition all by his iddle biddy self...

The press has been co-opted. He has turned it into a propaganda machine with the help of Putin and Musk. Our Neo-fascist oligarchy is at work.
I think you have something there. Walking out of a press conference because you are being lied to would be a powerful statement. Please, someone has to organize to make these things happe. It seems no individual has the courage to do it alone.
They shouldn't go at all. An empty room would devastate him!
Either would bust the Orange Monstrosity's balls!
Access. That is all they care about nd also pleasing their capitulate bosses.
Pretty soon the only press he will call on are the ones wearing a cross!
The White House Press Corps is feckless because they are employed by obeisant, ‘Good German’ corporate owners more interested in raking in moola than speaking truth to power, the value and function that should be supervening for a profession, the Fourth Estate, that is indispensable to the health and survival of democracy.
Nobody is going to tell the emperor he has no clothes because they all know they will immediately be deported (no matter where they were born) or sent Guantanamo for life.
The only reporter who told Trump he was lying was Peter Alexander. Kudos to him! Not that Trump listens.
Donald has done the investigation for the FAA so there is no need go any further. Trump has decided the outcome before all facts are known which is not a problem because facts never stood in the way of a sharpie. Remember how he determined the path of the hurricane's destruction. I am waiting for the Republicans to bend over backwards to back up Trump's claims.
Actually, I think they're bending over forwards...
😂🎯
He IS a "stable genius", you know. And now we know he has the rarest of human qualities: "common sense". Gee. I feel so safe now.
The Predator of the United States decrees: Let there be malice towards all and charity for none, as he pronounces the new age of Golden Showers... as he pisses on our great, but wounded country.
Steve,
Once again you nailed Trump’s moral debauchery, lies and stupidity which his ever devoted sycophants will repeat until they deny that he said anything that he did, despite the overwhelming evidence. It is maddening and we must never stop confronting his ignorance, incompetence and lies.
As always, stay safe and watch your six.

Your Thoughts?

Sandy, I think and worry about this every day.
Once again, Trump has seized on an unimaginable tragedy to aggrandize himself. And he will be believed and seconded….Sometimes I wonder how close to the surface American sadism lingers.

And those assholes of his love being called "brilliant"...it's nauseating.
Also Rachel Maddow said the military code is to never release the rank and position of any individual who has died before 24 hrs. Hegseth knows nothing!!!
