MAGA admonition:

"Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2."

Trump economy fail: Sacrifice for thee, but not for me.

Mathing is hard and it takes more than 1 or 2 pencils.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Trump's ignorance is an evil thing.

Has he not heard, the internet is forever? The DOJ will soon employ overtime FBI to comb the web for Trump lies. It will be a Herculean task of Sisyphean proportions, but some poor saps gotta do it.

Hey, Stephanopoulos, having these MAGA GOP Chucky dolls on is not the 'Get' you think it is.

Just pull their string and you get the pre-recorded talking point of the day issued from RNC HQ.

Who does your prep?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support the pardon of the former Honduran president?

SCHMITT: I'm not familiar w/ the facts or circumstances

S: What do you mean you're not familiar? It's been front page news

SCHMITT: You spew Democrat talking points every single week, which is why your ratings are so bad

FOX, the MAGA megaphone of Nazi sympathizers.

Storming the gates of The Kennedy Center does not confer culture. Go out into your communities and celebrate the various and beautiful lives that all of our worldly people are living.

Set aside your telescope, you are viewing it from the wrong end.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."

He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

TDS is enjoying a comeback among the MAGA crowd.

Trump's MRI: ". . . because men of his age group benefit from thorough evaluation of . . . abdominal health."

He had his head so far up his bum, he needed an MRI to indicate a proper medical procedure to correct for it.

Well then, godspeed, medicos.

Disturbing. Is there a pattern here? It may be a disgraceful continuation of our national shame. More questionable action by police incompetence. Or racism.

". . . my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

I remember it as a result of GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's "bullseye target post." Now, Trump.

MAGA seem obsessed with killing their political opponents, now. Don't they.
Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Here is JD Vance accusing "the left" of actually murdering 'his friend' (Kirk). Trump administration enjoins Utah to hide reports, and he cannot back up his scurrilous charge.

State of the Union will be especially 'interesting times' coming up. News at Eleven.
JD Vance: "Don't let the debates we're having internally blind us to the fact that we're up against a radical leftist movement that murdered my friend a couple of months ago ... that is the real opponent here ... focus on the enemy."

Chris Murphy Calls out The Felon President.

Why not move to censure him in both the Senate and House. Trump may not be in the legislature, but a sense of the legislature on a call for murder can certainly be made. Lets learn where our elected leadership stand, on the record. And say it loudly.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

At least they did not get instructions on how to blow Bubba.

Hey Kristi, if you think of it as music, then they would be playing your song.

Here is what I believe:

Trump could unilaterally order his DOJ to release the files. He does not need process; his command is process. Why require congress to dance the marionette steps?

He is recommending GOP members to vote Yes; just release the Epstein Files.
Trump ordered the investigation into the files over the weekend himself, and now he’s grandstanding, demanding the release of files he knows can’t be released because of that very investigation. He’s not being transparent — he’s staging it. What an absolute fraud.

Portnoy's Complaint:

White Nationalism vs Animal House on the Potomic
Dems didn't brand "white dudes" as the "bad guy" as Portnoy suggests. We branded people who support a toxic, hate-filled convicted felon who abuses women and lies constantly about everything as the bad guys, and they just happen to be disproportionately white men.

Truth

This is exactly right. Plus the archaeological record shows that human species was constantly migrating for the most recent 200,000 years or so.

To migrate is human. It is in the DNA. In migration is miscegenation; in miscegenation is better human survival (through recombinant remixing).

Sometime next year, believe me.

If this is the nature of the 'Truth and Reconciliation' we can hope to receive from MAGA GOP, then we see a very long road ahead for America.

Can we hope to renew the Tree of Liberty from such a feeble beginning? Let the acorn of hope then be germinated by such optimism.

Please, may we have more?
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

With over 30,000 lies uttered during his first term, why would Trump stop lying now?

More important is: why does anyone believe him ever?
