I hope Donald Trump is president for life and that his presidency ends soon.

Powerful, wealthy nations have recovered from the effects of dreadful rulers and even gone on to greater power and wealth. Others have disappeared from history because of terrible rulers. It's too soon to say which category we'll fall into.

The president is a demented, malevolent buffoon. The GOP is filled with spineless wimps and evil coconspirators. The press is controlled by amoral and avaricious plutocrats. And state-level Republicans are working hard to rig upcoming elections. Despite Tuesday's results, it's hard to be optimistic.

"My work here is done," says Dick Cheney as he heads for Hell.

Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial institution in Jerusalem has a searchable database of Holocaust victims. I searched the database and found the names of my mother's mother and teenage sister:

Visible from space, bloody sands expose the slaughter of tens of thousands in Sudan “They would ask a man to run,” one of the few eyewitnesses told NBC News. “Once you start running, they shoot you.”

Where are the campus demonstrations?

I'm happy to see that Charlie Kirk, that evil piece of shit, is quickly being as thoroughly forgotten as that other evil piece of shit, Rush Limbaugh. (Who?)

I've been keeping this secret ever since I left NASA, but I can hide the truth no longer. This is a real, authentic, genuine photo from Apollo 11. They didn't want you to know.

I never expected Trump to make it this far. He looks like death warmed over, and he seems to be doing everything he can to kill himself, and yet here he is. The bastard keeps surprising me.

You can't edit Grokipedia, unlike Wikipedia. Articles are "fact-checked by Grok." In other words, it's silly, a joke, and will be treated as Gospel by Musk fans and other fools.

I've just read that ICE is going to monitor Americans' social media activities.

Here you go, ICE: Fuck you, and fuck Trump.

What Trump Memorial should we have in Washington? An outhouse? A pile of dogshit? A hole in the ground? A swimming pool filled with red ink? A shredded copy of the Constitution? It would be best if he were quickly and utterly forgotten, but the long-lasting damage he's inflicting will prevent that.

Trump, 79, Gets Confused Explaining Water to the Navy The president went on a baffling rant about the scientific properties of water on board the USS George Washington.

This is the idiot the MAGAts worship. The orange POS is the stupidest, most ignorant, and most demented man to ever be president of the US. Even water and magnets confuse him. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-get...

Biden knew what he was signing, no matter what device he used to sign the document. Trump has no idea what's in the papers he signs.

I remember when it was the left who were Moscow's useful idiots.

Trump is the stupidest, most evil, and most corrupt president America has ever had. He's also the pettiest, most childish, and most embarrassing. Future generations will find our current situation hard to believe. "How could they have done that to themselves?" they will ask.

I'm reading that RFK Jr. is going to recommend that Americans consume more saturated fats. Perhaps next he'll recommend that we smoke and drink and avoid using seatbelts and motorcycle helmets. On the bright side, those who pay attention to his absurdities surely almost all vote Republican.

Kamala Harris said in an interview that she was thinking of running for president again. I hope she doesn't. She would be blown away in the primaries -- an unnecessary humiliation. Perhaps she should have run for governor. (And Pete Buttigieg should have done the same.)

Reagan gave Americans permission to hate the poor. Trump gave MAGAts permission to hate everybody.

The MAGAts' orange oaf demigod posted an AI-generated video depicting him flying a jet and dropping liquid shit on the No Kings Day protestors. That the MAGAts still revere him says everything we need to know about them.

It's true, but the judge has to be authorized to do so by the House leadership.

During the Dubya administration, I published a darkly comic novel titled Business Secrets from the Stars which involved a near-future right-wing-religious takeover of the US. I thought it was probably far-fetched. It wasn't, although the reality isn't comic, but it is dark.

Did the MAGAts finally give up trying to pretend that Charlie Kirk's assassin was not one of their own? I haven't seen that for a while.

The latest great Democratic hope in Texas is James Talarico. I'd be delighted if he were to flip that Senate seat blue, but I find it almost impossible to expect anything good in Texas.

How long before the first rocket is fired from Gaza into Israel? Not long, I expect.

Trump's upcoming speech before the Knesset will be another huge embarrassment for the US. He'll denigrate Biden, brag that no one else has or could have acomplished what he has, and whine about the Nobel Peace Prize.

Pleasant though it is to think of Trump dying, I think we'd be better served by him staggering on as the increasingly and undeniably demented figurehead of the Republican Party, leading (I hope) to a powerful enough blue wave in 2026 and 2028 to overwhelm GOP vote rigging and gerrymandering.
