The cruelty is the point.

Also, don't forget that they're trying to avoid releasing the Epstein files because trump isn't the only maga republican in them...

Republicans are working to end the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which protects whales, seals, polar bears, and other sea animals. Extra points for killing a unicorn.

I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that The Dictator and his pals will stop at nothing to rig the 2026 elections, including declaring martial law & seizing voting machines for phony “recounts.”

We had best start looking at tactics that deal successfully with autocracies.

Trump: “What do I have to do to get into heaven?”

Preacher: “All you have to do is admit your mistakes and ask for forgiveness.”

Trump: “Looks like I’m going to Hell, then.”

The bullshitter doesn't care about truth. He may not know and doesn't care to discover the facts.

Instead, he wants to push emotional buttons. And he'll say whatever will push those buttons.

For a bullshitter, facts are irrelevant. The facts don't matter.

All that matters ...

MSNBC is probably too busy giving props to trump. I don't watch anymore, but I would bet on it. They will lead with the hostages being released with never mentioning there was a deal a year ago that tRump told Netanyahu not to agree to until the election. No one talks about tRump's EVIL.
