It's bad enough that Trump did the opposite of what he promised: He made America NO LONGER great, because he rendered America no longer good.

But now, he wants to remake America in his image.

And JD Vance went on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, and lied right to George and said that it didn't happen. And George called him out on it.

Because George was a Clinton Democrat, and Clinton Democrats don't take any crap.

I would love to see Messi and Crissy play on the kind of pitches Pelé played on, including the one at Downing Stadium on Randall's Island in New York and the artificial one at Giants Stadium. With the kind of un-carded fouls Pelé always had to face.

Ummm..... is he not aware that the felon pardoned people who actually beat and are responsible for the deaths of cops? He's also overlooking the fact that he is still refusing to install the plaque that honors those very police officers.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Except for one thing: It was a hell of a lot more than half of Trump's supporters that were deplorable.

"vast right-wing conspiracy"

She was hounded by "journalists" from the main stream media.
She was right then, and she's been right ever since.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

He was Vice President under Eisenhower. Some serious crap went down under him, much of it by the Dulles brothers: Secretary of State John and CIA Director Allen.

And Congress named an airport after one of them!

Seems like just about everybody in Trump's orbit faces accountability -- except Trump himself.

October 15, 1925, 100 years ago: MacHouston Baker is born in Louisville, Kentucky. We knew him as Mickey "Guitar" Baker. He died in 2012.

Sylvia Robinson, 10 years younger, and never his girlfriend, became a major songwriter and producer, and died in 2011.

If Donald Trump truly believed he was innocent, he would have done two things:

1. Given first the prosecutors, then the media, copies of the documents that would prove his innocence -- or, at the least, cast doubt upon his guilt.

2. Turn himself in, and take his chances with the justice system.

Tish James won a $500M fraud case vs. Trump. His payback? A $18K fraud case so bogus that his own top VA prosecutor left, his own AG said they can’t convict, and he sent in the clowns - an insurance lawyer, a wannabe Columbo, and a guy who isn’t a lawyer but plays one on X - to make the case.

Because Argentina has, in the past, proven friendly to Nazis and other Fascists.

No. The Democratic Party exists solely to prevent the country from moving too far to the right.

It is the far left that has fucked us all over, including themselves but they're too goddamned STUPID to understand that!

Yes, Biden opposed busing. He has stood up for civil rights most other times.

Being "Israel's Senator" is a GOOD thing. Israel is a democracy and our ally. Netanyahu is scum, but opposing Israel as a country is Nazi-style garbage.

And you are a liar: He did NOT slag Anita Hill.

Shame on you.

Things Bernie wants done don't get done because he can't persuade anybody. He pisses off people who should be his allies, so they don't want to work with him.

What Ted Cruz is to the right, Bernie Sanders is to the left.
