We now live in a world in which Marjorie Taylor Greene is willing to call out Donald Trump, but John Fetterman won’t.

2025 is weird as fuck.

The House That Never Belonged to Him What Donald Trump did to the East Wing is what he’s done to America itself.

He destroys because destruction is the only way he knows how to feel powerful. He resents what he cannot create. He resents beauty because it reminds him of everything he will never be. And so, he does what he always does.

He ruins it.

At Saturday's No Kings protest in Brighton, a Rochester suburb, I said to a wealthy business owner "glad to see the capitalists are here protesting."

His reply: "There is no capitalism without freedom."

Exactly correct!
Spread his insight, please.

There were plenty of Tories in the colonies back then. Nowadays, there are plenty of people who’d be fine with a king as long as it’s their guy.

Trump Forgets He Was President During Capitol Riot, Blames ‘THE BIDEN FBI’ for Jan. 6 in Dead-of-Night Post President Donald Trump blamed the Capitol riot on former President Joe Biden, claiming that “THE BIDEN FBI” had placed agents in the crowd that had assembled in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6. 2021.

The perennial problem with Trump these days is it's hard to tell if he's speaking from dementia or just lying again.

I think that's one reason the press doesn't know how to cover it. It's unclear if he's really this deluded/forgetful, or if he's just lying.

So, lots of California is Trump country, and there may be a lot of MAGA in the California National Guard. But once those guys get to Portland and see that there’s basically nothing going on, isn’t that likely to make a lot of guardsmen think, “This is bullshit. That guy’s a liar.”

I was at that game. Way up in the upper deck down the RF line. I especially remember Strawberry’s home run that got the Mets on the board. It felt like it was eye level with us and hung up forever. More emotional for me than the walk-off.

I was at that game. Didn’t applaud him when he took the mound. I’m sure I did later. So many hopes dashed by Doc and Darryl.

Couldn’t Trump just use the $17 trillion he says he got from all these other countries to fund the government?

That should cover us for a while.

Where is that, by the way?
