And this isn't new. He's been this way for decades.
There is seriously something wrong with this man.

Also, he is devoid of any joy. He is bitter and rotten to the core. This post proves it.

Basically a shit for brains.

Right. When are we going to stop the attitude about voters that "the customer is always right"? NO! Half of the voters made a very stupid decision that all of us are paying the price for. EVERYTHING that has happened was CLEARLY warned about.
Piggy Trump likes to call women scum and stupid,this is what half our US voters wanted to represent the entire country.

Well one of a thousand reasons.
This is why a con man shouldn’t have been allowed to become President!

I have some hope that it can return to being a reliable scientific body after Trump is gone.

What's true: not all religious or "spiritual" people are alt-right. But almost all alt-right are religious or "spiritual". Almost none are atheists. Not a coincidence. I'm fine to work with anyone who wants a liberal society. But the religious "spiritual" folks should examine the why about the above
someone today said "spirituality itself is an alt-right pipeline," and omfg, i disagree so much.

atheism cannot be the only way to be a leftist. that both ignores long histories of churches, meeting halls & ceremonies as resistance. and it alienates so many amazing people.

no. no. absolutely not.

Yes. They voted for a sociopathic criminal who lies constantly & who lied more than 30,000 times in his first term. So, yes. More that 74 million people DID vote for what we're getting. They were just too gullible &/or stupid to realize what would happen. EVERYTHING he's done was forewarned about.
Make America poor again. Make America hungry again. Make America sick again. Make America choose between heat and insulin again. Make America work three jobs again. Is this what anyone voted for?

Yep, the criminal shit discovered is going to be astronomical in quantity. It will fill volumes of description.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

There are some good, sincere reps, but this is the kind of system reform that is badly needed. The incentive of making a lifelong career in political office is too great. Too many perks, lack of term limits, & too much reward for staying longer. Hold office awhile, then go back to your regular life.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

I wouldn't put it that Bondi screwed up. I would say she was just following orders of a corruption playbook.
DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.

As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Or the snake oil salesman is actually selling something worthwhile.

And no one has ever said so. The idiotic people vote for Trump and people scream, the Ds didn't say what they are for! BS. Go back and listen to a Harris speech. It's there. So have all leading Ds since. The people are just too ill-informed and idiotic.
Fighting against Trump isn’t enough. It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way. Watch. https://youtu.be/Uzc57eD3cWI?si=65LK4EXG7o-_BtmU

No president has been this much of a sleazy, criminal asshole, total trash of a human being before, either.

There may need to be a whole new government department to handle the load. Will take years and years.

I haven't wondered about that for decades.
Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

A better question is why do people think of holding political office as a career at all? Why not a temporary public service after which you go back to your previous life?
Why has everyone decided that they should START their political career in Congress?

When I tell people to “run for something,” I mean school board, city council, board of supervisors, town select board, water board, state house/assembly, maybe even mayor.

Ya think? With moral standards, a pedophile, con artist, frauding criminal wouldn't get elected in the first place. Not to mention twice!
If this nation had moral standards, a pedophile would not be allowed to host a murderer in the Oval Office.

I'm no genius, but I thought all of this back in 2016.
He is comically, objectively, and dangerously unfit to be president. By any conceivable metric.

Whatever Trump says, run it through this filter: What kind of con attempt is this lie? No reason to treat anything he says any other way.
November 17, 2025 at 1:05 PM
I'm sure he must be retirement age, right? Time for term limits.

I miss Pete as Transportation Secretary.
Trump's DOT has officially scrapped a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by airlines.

Flying already sucks — and Trump wants to make it suck even more. https://youtu.be/eTzaMXXelew?si=OghvJOMzUq2ZeJrc

There are SO many things needed for this prevention. Yes on: multi-party, rank choice no spoiler voting, make voting easier, executive limitations, getting money out of campaigns, term limits for everyone, getting rid of the Electoral College, limiting cushy benefits for Congress, and more!
When this is over, we should look around and consider how do we prevent this from ever happening again. I’m not sold on a fully parliamentary transition, but the presidency must be curtailed constitutionally.

It’s time for multiparty democracy and a limited executive.

Well come on. Right now, we're floating in so much shit piled so high that it's almost impossible to keep up with it all and to ponder what kind of long-term damage from that shit we're going to have to deal with. And really, you ask Trump a question what is his answer? Right: total bullshit.
If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.
