Only thing I disagree with is the word “negligence.” “Malevolence” is the word I’d use. The #GOP isn’t ignorant of the consequences here. They are paying attention. Republicans intend to drive people off their healthcare. It’s the goal.

The only thing that’s not imaginary is the graft lining Trump and his friend’s pockets.

No no no- this is one of the things Trump should get full credit for: he’s not sleepwalking anything here. This evil March to war is purposeful and planned. Meticulous, by Trump standards.

It absolutely is. Venezuela just can’t declare war because it will lose, and if war comes, it can’t afford to look like the aggressor. The world should learn from Russia’s run up to Ukraine and know that step-up sanctions won’t work. 100% effort if/when Trump strikes or don’t bother trying.

If he is describing anything reality adjacent, it’s called “boom and bust”. It works fine if you’re wealthy enough to survive the bust. If not… well, It’s why we have the stereotype of stock brokers throwing themselves out of windows.

“Le monde se moi,” eh?

I’m a member of the public and I am very interested. I can’t name for you at this moment a single member of the public I know of who’s not.

Save your pity for the United States you helped him destroy.

In the long term, their plan is for us to die. Young, and poor.

What horrific joke Trump has made of the United States.

An important ruling for when a Democrat occupies the office again. Clean house, then legislate the norms Trump trampled into binding law.

Not that that would be justice (it wouldn’t), but at some point, I hope people in a position to do good consider the cost of staying silent as they consider the cost of speaking.

You’re a better man than I am, Chris. Trump has burned through the last of my empathy when it comes to him. I only hope he realizes how pathetic this makes him look one day.

And he’ll replace the next one too unless he gives Trump what he wants: a giant eyesore that makes the White House look small next to Trump. The faux-pharaoh wants a pyramid. That’s all there is to it.

It really is amazing how, if you ask somebody to just come up with a health care system, how many of them will tell you basically exactly that. But when you say “Medicare for all” to them, they act like the devil himself rose to meet them.

Ha! What legislative goals? They have no plans. They have no goals. Only empty hate and impotent spite. The height of their aspiration is to sit and do nothing, to allow Trump to rule by decree while the country burns down around them.

My question is: Is he *already* pardoned? Does Trump’s pardon of the other Jan 6th criminals apply to this one?
