Retired and loving it. I think of my rhetorical style in a discussion with Trumpers as "a two-by-four to the forehead."

So, does anyone think Trump will admit now that tearing up Obama's agreement with Iran did not work out very well?

Yeah, but at the same time, the phones are getting smarter.

"Sadly." Sounds like he's pretty broken up about it.

I guess it just isn't done for journalists to yell out "Bullshit," but we kinda need that.

It's time to rethink that FIFA Peace prize.

We cannot trust a word this administration says, Trump has no authorization and did not ask for any, and we're starting another war that the American people never asked for and don't want.

I am starting to question why I continue to live in this shithole country. We used to be a great nation.

Don't just go on TV and lie - make it a YUUUUGE lie! Just like Donny would.

"If the name were Biden instead of Trump" sums up the MAGA approach to all politics.

Hypocrisy is a critical underlying feature to everything they do, an essential part of every position they take. We could never have reached this point if they had chosen to make grown-up, rational decisions.

Really looking forward to this irrefutable legal argument not yet articulated or vetted, pulled from the depths, which all the lawyers must have missed. I'm thinking two weeks, setting a calendar reminder.

It is difficult to have a rational national conversation about immigration when the Liar-In-Chief keeps insisting that immigration amounts to "millions and millions" of murderers, rapists, drug mules, and insane asylum residents.

We never got to discuss the real situation.

I guess "Trump's High Seas Murder Spree Claims 119th Victim" isn't really a story, ho hum, move on.

Worst president ever.
Worst VP/Cabinet ever.
Worst White House staff ever.
Worst Supreme Court ever.
Worst Speaker ever.
Worst House ever.
Worst Senate ever.
Worst voters ever.
Worst political movement ever.

It was the worst of times; it was the worst of times.

I read that Trump is suing the government for $10 billion for releasing his tax returns, but there must be a mistake.

He said he would release his returns if he was elected. No one would sue someone else for doing what they wanted done, right?

I must be missing something.

I bet some clever person decided that since Trump's name is on the White House staffing chart, right up there at the top, he is technically a staffer, so a staffer actually did post the racist video, it's just that the staffer is Trump himself.

Or maybe they're just lying.

It would not surprise me at all if one day Trump evades all consequences for his actions because his lawyers can successfully demonstrate that he is mentally unfit for trial.

The bit in the wrestling video where one wrestler opens his eyes wide and looks around is priceless.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

So, if this sends shockwaves through the Republican Party, what are they going to do about it?

Continue to fully support Trump, but now in shock? Yeah, probably that.

Republicans have absolutely NO moral compass. The end.

Kind of a shocking twist to that story.

MS NOW reports Trump's popularity is at new lows and then consults a "marketing and branding expert" to discuss the polling.
Apparently sending shock troops to Minnesota and murdering two American protesters was a poor branding move.

The press will happily inform us that you can tell Hitler was a bad leader because, as World War II raged around them, only 37% of Germans thought he was doing a good job.

When I'm a cabinet secretary, I am going to think for myself before repeating some stupid lie Stephen Miller tells me to say.

Didn't we all learn about this at least by fifth grade or so?

Meanwhile, in the Australian Open, tennis matches have been postponed due to extreme heat.
