Donald J. Trump is a victim! He has never had a fair thing happen in his life! He deserves the sweet milkshake! He is the people favorite! A third term? How about President for Life! A first! But fair and well-deserved! #politics

@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social Why don't Dems offer to repeal ACA if it is replaced by Medicare for All? Medicare is viewed positively by most recipients, is efficiently run & would be easier to add Medicare for All to a system already in place than setting up a whole new system which may not work.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

Listening to the Christian book club at my local Panera, I am reminded of driving in Indiana in the late 2000s, and wish more political commentators had taken Christian Radio more serious. The radicalization of white Evangelicals is not all Fox… not even mostly.

Democracy is about considering all voices and hashing out solutions that do not satisfy anyone's wishlist but provides something for everyone. Otherwise, politics is simply a game where one group dominates all others. #politics

With genuine shame, recent years in politics have given me my first taste for what it is to have moralised contempt for my opponents. Not hatred, not fear; contempt. There's some core element of the right wing coalition at the moment which seems to me best described as a revolt of the loser men...
