Peace in our time!

Mr. Putin has assured me that he has no further territorial ambitions in Europe.

"And Now I Am the Ruler of the Queen's Navy" applies remarkably well to Trump's cabinet and other appointees.

A con man, a babbling chump
Turned the People’s House into a dump.
He was well off his nut
And wed to a slut
This vilest of humans named Trump.

Let's never forget that Trump is just the visible pustule.

The massive underlying infection is in the American people.

It's unfair to accuse Astronomer now-ex-CEO Andy Byron of hypocrisy when he said "that's not who I want to be." He wasn't saying that he didn't want to be the sleazeball who cheats on his wife. He was saying truthfully that he didn't want to be the sleazeball who cheats on his wife AND GETS CAUGHT.

I hope the time is near when the most damaging thing that can be said about a politician is that he's just like Donald Trump.

Civilization: Old men plant trees knowing they won't live to enjoy their shade.

Trump: Cut down those trees!

GOP: Ook! Ook! Trees bad!

"Big, strong guy, came up to me, tears in his eyes, je said, 'Sir, you're the biggest piece of shit ever to be president. Many people said such a big piece of shit couldn't do it. Never been done before in history. You did it, you immense piece of shit.' Big, strong, manly guy. Yummy muscles."

Remember Billy Beer? Jimmy Carter's brother Billy tried to make money from his relationship with the president. Republicans were outraged. How dare he? Something must be done!

But now that a GOP president is monetizing the office, we don't hear a word of complaint from the hypocritical bastards.

The foxes have done a fine job of turning the chickens against each other.

Recent studies revealing the health dangers of smoking marijuana have generated a familiar denialism. I heard it many years ago, when the dangers of tobacco were being publicized, and then again more recently regarding the dangers of alcohol.

It's unfair that people are sneering at Trump for confusing the UK and the EU. After all, they're almost the same thing. They're both have two-letter names, one of which is a U. They're both way over there. And they both speak languages Trump doesn't understand.

It's bad enough Trump babbles moronically when he's in the U.S., but seeing him do so on the world stage in his role as President of the United States really makes me cringe.

The Keep Your Neighbors Awake patriotic festival seems to be starting early this year.

Even though I'm an immigrant from Africa, the Trump administration has never harassed me in any way. I can't imagine what people are making such a fuss about.

(Do I need a sarcasm emoji? Is there one on here?)

It's now clear that there is no such thing as a ghost, for if ghosts existed, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln would have pushed Donald Trump down a flight of stairs at the White House long ago.

I had no idea that there was such a thing as the World Naked Bike Ride, but now I'm surprised at my own surprise at discovering that there is.

If the government really wanted to save money, it would replace Karoline Leavitt with a cheap Barbie doll stuffed with prerecorded kneejerk babble replies. Or maybe it already has.

Why isn't our rabidly leftist media expressing groveling amazement that Joe Biden was able to save the economy and restore American scientific leadership while demented and busy hiding his cancer from the public?

I have reached that point of old age where people help me even when I don’t want them to, and then they look smugly self–satisfied, utterly unaware of how annoyed I am.

Suppose that Pete Buttigieg is the Democratic nominee in 2028 and wins the presidency. (I know, I know. Humor me.) Further suppose that he runs for reelection in 2032. If that happens, I'll be very disappointed in the Democratic Party if in 2032 they don't choose the campaign slogan RE-PETE!

The universe is a cold, mindless place hostile to life. The desperate need to believe this is not so has resulted in innumerable scams, chief among them religion.

As a naive immigrant kid, I took all that stuff they told me in civics and US history classes seriously. I didn't realize it was all just words.

That should have been "Joe". How I wish we could edit our posts!

Jow, as I remember, back on GEnie, you used to talk about wanting to live in the UK and focus on writing novels.

I'm just beginning to ever-so-slightly suspect that our system of government was not actually designed by God and telepathically transmitted to our semi-divine Founding Fathers, thereby guaranteeing that no one at the top of the power pyramid could ever do really bad things.

Everything is going perfectly according to Donald Trump's subtle, sophisticated, brilliant, intricate, and high-level plan, which is to reveal that Donald Trump is an ignorant, demented, arrogant, smug buffoon.

The fucker is openly manipulating the markets and publicly congratulating himself.

Looks like we're being relegated from the Superpower League even faster than the Soviet Union was. Or should that be self-relegated?
