Retired Canadian MD, horrified at the rise of tribalism, corruption and misuse of religion. Let's use technology for good, not evil.
If democracy is ever restored in the US, there needs to be an urgent Constitutional Amendment that prohibits Presidents from pardoning accomplices in crimes the President has committed, or using pardons for political or financial gain. The founders would be horrified by Trump's blatant abuses.

His capacity to fabricate bullshit stories is declining so he needs to plagiarize those that permeate social media. He is unperturbed if they are false; truth is irrelevant to him.

A pyramid, he could construct a huge pyramid to himself. And Laura Ingrasuckass can marvel, and scrape and bow and heap praise upon the idea.

Can you imagine the lowlifes who attend his rallies acting as "entrepreneurs negotiating their own insurance"? Illiterate blockheads don't stand a chance against big companies; they will be fleeced. The insurance companies will win, everyone else will lose.

When the nightmare is over, so many films will be made; mostly farces with bad actors and ludicrous scripts.

The MAGA Congresspuppies wag their tails and lick his hand. A more abject, docile collection of weaklings cannot be imagined.

The trouble with Dems is they actually care about the people, so they may have divergent views on how to help them.
The MAGA cult all embrace Trump's insane "policies" and act as cheerleaders.
Internecine bickering will not help Dems. Stay on the attack, it's a target rich area.
Bicker in private.

If Dems peddled the truth with as much vehemence and persistence as Trump peddles lies, he would never have been elected. No first term, no second term, no insurrection.
Dems need to ramp up the messaging and co-ordinate it.

The Drama King is at it again. Every move he makes will save the country, anything else will destroy it. No comprehension of the term "National Security Event", magic words that he believes can justify his capricious, idiotic tariff "deals". The potential loss is now $3T. Last week it was $21T.

He has to update himself on the daily smorgasbord of lies. He doesn't want his lies to contradict some other maggot's lies; they're quite punctilious about coordinating the lies.

Well, James, every G20 country except the US has universal govt funded health care, and many smaller countries do as well. Unlike Republicans they look at health outcomes and need rather than private companies making a profit.
And all the religious BS, how does that jive with letting the sick die?

Bribes, threats, insults, shaming, extorsion; those are the only "deal-making" tactics that Trump understands. Trying to view matters from another person's perspective, and finding a fair, mutually beneficial solution, is outside his realm of experience. More and more people hate him.

Sure, get the "rebate cheques" out just in time for the mid-terms. Bribe voters with their own money. Clever.

"Jack Smith had no cause to suspect our Revered Leader. The violent invasion of the Capitol, beating cops, vandalizing the seat of government, chanting to hang the VP. Nothin' there. Stolen documents, election tampering in Georgia, fake electors. Nothing. No reason for Traitor Smith to "spy" at all"

Not a problem. The MAGA base will eat hot dogs, and Trump's inner circle will eat steak.

That is an example of negative charisma; someone desperately trying to seduce the crowd and antagonizing them instead.
He is the most repulsive charismatic leader in history.

He imagined this like a Hitler rally with adoring crowds pledging to obey the President/Fuhrer. Ouch, that was quite a dousing of cold water. The spectacle ruined by an antagonistic crowd. They'll have to do severe editing on Fox and Newsmax to sweeten up that image.

The wicked ones on the MAGA side manage to sing in unison from the same songbook most of the time. The Dems run in 14 directions at once.
The 2 party system is an abject failure in the US.

The GOP will be stuck with a suckophant. Perhaps her right-hand man, George Santos will add some spicy fraud to the Trump fraud recipe.

What a farce. The drama king miscalculated badly with this theatrical BS. Why should football fans swear to uphold the Constitution when the Pres defies it every day? They should swear to obey the President??? That's not how it works, Don. The President serves the people, they are not his vassals.

So sad, being roundly booed by a stadium full of sports fans. He can't call them "nasty" "fake" or "far-left communist lunatics who want to destroy the country"; they're just football fans, who happen to despise the Orange Kookoobird.
He'll construct a delusional explanation that he'll post tonight

Ooh, that's gotta sting. He'll be posting tonight about how he's the most loved President in history. And the Parrot Brigade of suckophants will fan out across the land repeating his words thereby spreading the manure evenly.
