" Pretend to be shocked that the racist birther piece of shit has moved President Obama’s portrait out of view. "

To the private landing outside the Residence, where Clownigula has to look at it every day when he drags his sorry ankles up the stairs to go to bed, err, shitpost on troof antisocial.

Obama has moved into the penthouse suite to live rent free in his rotting mind...

"Clownigula." I love it. Biden called him a clown twice, and he doesn't get it. At cabinet meetings, his acolytes use their time to tell him how wonderful he is, and he still doesn't get it. He doesn't even look embarrassed. The common joke among leaders of other countries is that you just compliment him, and he'll do whatever you want. He still doesn't get it. And what's worse is that the people who vote for him don't get it. They don't seem to recognize that tariffs, immigrants, and "deal," are empty and inappropriate slogans that have no meaning in current American government. Or that he's an inveterate loser, not to mention a very conspicuous inveterate liar.

I am sick of hearing the word "deal" to refer to an agreement between sovereign nations. It cheapens the whole idea, but then Trump cheapens every idea. He is still, unbelievably, trading on the obviously false claim that he is some kind of genius businessman, and he has hammered the "deals" idea into our culture.

MKW, Donnie is fundamentally a dimwit. Even "his" book about deals is a "by, with" book. He didn't write it. He's not capable of writing a book. And as you say, he has no understanding of international governments, and the interactions, agreements, and treaties among them. Donnie's idea of a "deal" is that he wants someone to do something for him, and he agrees to do something for them in return. And then, he stiffs them. And there's the list of failed businesses, the bankruptcies, and the stories -- no doubt completely true -- of his and his daddy's paying people to take tests for him, because he couldn't pass them himself. Also, if you've seen "Angels in America," you might recall a line from Roy Cohn, one of Donnie's mentors, who insisted he was not homosexual: he just had sex with men. So Donnie learned from Roy, and presumably from Fred Sr, how to lie.

Donnie does not understand -- is not capable of understanding -- that international relations are not "deals." They are negotiations and agreements, and sometimes treaties, in which you don't just get your own way. Except now, he has Vlad to tell him you can.

What I still say is the amazing part of this is the voters he's able to engage and persuade. One of the reasons for the Electoral College is that the common people were not smart enough for this level of voting. I'm unable completely to convince myself that that's wrong. When Donnie ran the first time, when he gave every indication that he was an inveterate liar who cared only about himself, he won, thanks to the technicality that is the Electoral College. When he ran the second time, after he proved his failings beyond any doubt, he got more votes than he did the first time. When he ran the third time, he got more votes, and the Electoral College, than he did the second time. As stupid as Donnie is, the voters seem to be stupider.

Thank you for taking the time to reply so thoroughly. I agree with you, and I also think that Trump and Musk tampered with the election results. Trump has, to my knowledge, never accomplished anything in his life without cheating.

Maybe other Countries should put tariffs on the US for human trafficking and people would pay attention to the issue?

Trump got his marching orders. The old pedophile is only too happy to destroy America for his buddy Putin. MAGA is a fucking scourge.

Chinga tu MAGA. I despair more every goddamned day, but I refuse to give up. I call on the military to refuse to comply:

"In August 2020, Trump tried to “liberate” Washington, DC from protesters. He ordered the army to shoot civilians. They refused that time … will they do so again?" --Malcolm Nance

They're kids who are stuck til their terms of service are over. Stuck. Can't fathom how they would survive the penalties.

Jude Johnson's avatar

While true, imagine how these kids will suffer when forced to shoot fellow Americans: their neighbors and maybe even family.

The command staff who give orders can refuse, like General Miley did. Otherwise, the troops will have to refuse en masse, like the Winter Palace Guard refused to shoot protestors in St. Petersburg in 1917. An order to shoot fellow American citizens is a clear violation of Posse Comitatus and therefore, an ILLEGAL order, which they are legally permitted to refuse.

So the question gets to be: would you rather be court-martialed for defending your oath to the Armed Forces and Constitution, or suffer severe PTSD for the remainder of your life?

I know. My granddaughter is married to a young man in Army Reserve. I've had this talk with him because it is such a horrifying situation. I'll share your comment with him if that's ok. He's a truly wonderful, conscientious, intelligent man and it kills me to know he's in this job.

Didn't trump recently complain about Enten? I guess he felt like he needed to gargle some trumpstein balls to make up for it. And where did they get that approval rating? I've seen it rated at 37%.

Remember when everyone thought Glenn Greenwald was some kind of hero for exposing corruption? He's like Bill Maher - always a conservative asshole, and just waiting for the right opportunity to betray people who thought he was somehow neutral.

Keep hiding those Epstein files, morons. Each day you try to pretend that your mango god-king isn't in them, you're proving he is. If it was only democrats you'd have them plastered on billboards across America. And stop with "protecting the victims:". We know that's bullshit, too.

They deny, they deflect, they lie, they twist stories around over and over and over - I'd say we are headed towards a lot in of early onset dementia patients.

In a few years they won't be able to tell what's true and what's a lie.

My mom makes more sense then trump. My mom is 100 yrs old with dementia. trump is in his late 70's. He's going quickly.

Maybe if more Democrats would trash Trump the way Pritzker, Beto, and Newsom (none of whom are in Congress) do we might believe they are actually fighting for us and not MIA. I know they're voting against Republican legislation but not everybody watches CSPAN.

Kudos to the people in Ohio.

I think people are forgetting why Epstein and Maxwell went to prison. It wasn't because they were friends with Trump (although that should be a crime) it's because they allowed young girls to be raped by disgusting older men with money. Release the files!

Vance is such a putz. When Trump is gone, hopefully sooner than later, Miller and company will be leading him around like a little bitch.

Trump has no balls when it comes to Putin. He just simply bends over.

I have a colonoscopy tomorrow so I'll be dropping Trumps all afternoon, meaning I better get on this!

Note: Why are you surprised that someone on a mainstream corporate media channel sucked the orange mushroom? Again? I mean, really.

Note five: Seeing as all of the damage being done to the US is by billionaires, I have a really hard time accepting Pritzker. But it does seem that he's walking the walk to go along with the talk. OK then!

Note seven: The TV series that Dean Cain was in, gave us Teri Hatcher. I give him a point for that, but, one point does not help a majorly failing grade.

Note ten: How many people walk past them a call them Nazis or fascists? (Hint: Not enough.)

Note fourteen: Hegseth must be gay. Anyone who HATES women that much HAS TO BE gay.

Today's Distraction: I take it they're going to be looking out for badass 15 year old girls because "Big" Balls got beat up by one. These guys are SUCH pussies...

What's a Glenn Greenwald? And why should I care?

Funny, I thought this was a column engaging in sarcasm, humor, mocking, ridicule etc... So, in response to your criticism all I have to say is "OH, GIVE ME A BREAK. GROW UP."

I think anyone not insisting on the Epstein list and Files is Oviously invovled in the Pedo stuff or the coverup. Worldwide. Everyone has dirt on everyone. I would be okay with all of them self-destructing.
