4 key differences between US 2025 & Germany 1935, Trump: really (1) unpopular (2) old/pathetic (3) incompetent (4) rather than using state to employ & build & pull out of recession/inflation, Trump deliberately undermining employment & infrastructure & pulling US into economic stagnation/stagflation

Also rare is how, combined, they constitute one of the most hated husband and wife duos on Earth.

Unlike the Trumps, however, Henry and Eleanor actually had redeeming qualities.

Trump directs the prosecution of a number of prominent Democrats on unknown charges relating to Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi responds that she has directed the US Attorney for he Southern District of New York to do exactly as Trump directs. This is what fascism looks like.

Huh.

Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.

I thought other countries paid for those?

The filibuster is pretty much the least of his worries right now.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

It's crazy how they managed to frame Trump with the Epstein stuff. Planting a fake Christmas card in a book of Christmas cards a decade in advance, sending all of those emails 15 years ago so that they would later, when Trump is President, be referred to to make Trump look bad. Incredibly vicious.

Who? Did he used to be somebody?

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

Jeffrey Epstein in 2015: "Have them ask my houseman about donald almost walking through the door leaving his nose print on the glass as young women were swimming in the pool and he was so focused he walked straight into the door."

The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.

I’m pretty sure Frodo is on the other side of that spiderweb.

He’s an Integralist who wants to destroy almost every institution in America and rebuild them in line with his reactionary Catholic viewpoint.

We do that on this side of the border too.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Pope Francis’ favorite movie was “Babette’s Feast,” which is an opinion I share.

Seriously, though - when is the GOP base NOT pissed off?

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

Did you know: Congressmen and women have been paid twice (they’re paid monthly) since the govt shut down. $30,000 gross each. Meanwhile Trump trying to stop food stamp payments while he has parties. And @SpeakerJohnson still has everyone on vacay
