The protests were EXTREMELY violent--real blows to Trump's fragile ego.

Since Trump keeps going around the Appointments laws, I’m sure Ingrassia will be in the job in some illegal fashion.

Is it wrong to wish that the pilot had hit “eject” for Hegseth’s seat since he has no clue how to operate a parachute?

Yes, and anybody who thinks the GOP will surrender any power in 2027 or 2029—regardless of the election results—is delusional.

Is there a statute of limitations? We’re talking about events that occurred in Dec. 2020—so long ago that I had to stop to think about it.

As if we didn’t already know, Trump has one frigging sick, twisted mind.

The winner's fans had better not celebrate in the streets or Trump will send in the troops from Texas. (And, yes, that includes invading Canada!)

I’ve already been to two shows there and can endorse that it’s a magical place to see a concert. A welcome addition to Tucson!

But they’d enjoy the “satire” of Hillary Clinton dropping shit on the deplorables, right?

To this non-lawyer, it seems bizarre that "war-torn," "anarchy," "insurrection," etc. can be essentially defined by POTUS. In short, it seems that he--and it's always a "he"--can simply declare a city is crime-ridden and then call in federal troops, regardless of the actual facts on the ground.

Maybe he’s not a moron? (Trump, too.) Maybe they genuinely want Putin to win—because they admire “strong men,” or think they will get even wealthier, etc. Probably both, though: stupid, corrupt & greedy.

Probably the cognitive dissonance from realizing that the theocrats he’s enabling will stone him and his husband to death for sodomy when they get power.
