It's not new. It's a redux of the food lines, like those in Texas (below), caused by Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic.

Bottom line: Republicans enjoy watching people suffer.

That reminds me of the ex-girlfriend who told me, "You will NEVER find another woman like me!"

"I hope not to," I responded.

Republicans have "unpersoned" Romney because he lost the election and demonstrated reason, grace and honor in accepting the loss.

He and his policies are no longer part of the GOP, which is now all MAGA.

There's nothing more stark to exemplify Trump's sociopathy.

A man collapses with a medical issue. Instead of showing an iota of concern for the person, Trump is focused on how it impacts HIM and HIS image.

Trump isn't about Americans or even America First. He's all about Trump First and Only.

I'm happy Nancy Mace is openly attaching herself to the political anchor with a minus-18 approval rating who will sink her disgusting political career.

She should look forward to getting a daytime talk show on OAN, which is much better suited for her.

For the last time: "Obamacare" isn't insurance or medical care. It's an exchange where people can buy insurance.

Donald Trump has no freakin' clue what he's talking about. Again.

He's working on behalf of the Argentinian Beef Association, in which Trump invested $20 billion.

Trump was never about America First. Trump's always been Trump First and Only.

He should consult with Moms for Liberty to find out how effective that is.

I also want the Whangpeng Zhao files released.

Zhao's the Chinese-born drug and terrorism money launderer who recently got a pardon from Trump--a pardon he doesn't remember signing.

Funny thing: Zhao's also one of the financiers behind the Trump family crytocurrency scam. What a coincidence, huh?

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnsonโ€™s office.

Better headline: "Did women entering the workforce in World War II not just save the nation and democracy, but also led to an unprecedented growth of the American economy over the next five decades."

But that would be too clear for the NY Times.

Not true. The (incomplete) list of everyone who don't want the Epstein files released:

--Donald Trump
--Every appointee in the Executive Branch
--The supermajority of Republicans in Congress

MAGA does not want to face the truth: Donald Trump is a pedophile protected by the GOP.

"MTG: I think everyone knows what I mean by that."

No, Marge, no one knows what you mean.

No one understood you when you ranted against "Peachtree dishes" and said Jews control weather with space lasers.

But what we really don't understand is your support for men who sexually assault women.

Frank, you never felt the horror because you're a confident, stable, mature adult who didn't take the job to get legal authority to bully people so they can feel "manly."

You did it to serve the public, not to compensate for personal shortcomings. (And yes, that's a subtle joke about penis size.)

1. The media is not the equivalent of "social media." MTG's mistake is equating the two.

2. She claims *she's* the victim. Sheesh.

"...because Republicans for the most part are happy with what's happening."

They're so happy they stayed home?

No, MAGA came out and voted in force, as it always does, but MAGA is losing mainstream Republicans because it's failing and Trump is embarrassing.

McClain can't admit the obvious.

It's funny how Republicans in Congress were A-OK with the Pentagon making absurd rules that froze out legitimate journalists in favor of regime-favoring propagandists.

Now that they find themselves "shut out" too, it's not so funny, is it?

Fun fact: 70% of American men are circumcised.

Now what was Trump saying about stopping genital mutilation?

Trump: "...but they'll catch us within four, five years. They want to catch us. And they'll be able to catch us."

Who's supposed to be President for the next few years who could undertake the national effort to make sure China doesn't overtake us in "The Nuclear" instead of ceding the race, huh?

So, by Trump's own logic:

If he's bombing 2 boats a week now that were getting through before, that means 50,000 people per week were dying from the drugs on the boats that got through before the attacks started.

I must've missed those headlines about 7,500 OD deaths per day back in June.

Trump "claim[s] the ACA 'is the greatest scam'..."

He's the founder of Trump University.
His family ran Trump Charities.
He's profiting from foreign dollars funneled through fraudulent crypto instruments.

He started TrumpRx (AND a cell phone service).

The word doesn't mean what he thinks it does.

Trump's jealousy of Obama oozes from every pore of his body like his spray tan.

"The one that gets her hair done very expensively, right?"

Unlike Trump who only spends--I don't know. What's a can of Aquanet daily cost?

Trump's confusing Cuba, South Africa AND South America.

He's literally all over the map.

The guy who destroyed the East Wing without notifying the federal agencies responsible for preserving the White House is touting his ability to clear building permits quickly.

Sheesh.
