NEW: The Newest Oldest President Donald Trump has not faced the same scrutiny for his age as Joe Biden did. For now. But as Trump is poised to turn 80 next month, questions about his health and increasingly erratic behavior are growing www.theatlantic.com/politics/202 ...

Joe Biden is more coherent now than Mango Mussolini was in 2016.

"Unwell" is a an amazing understatement, physically and mentally.

The man needs to die before he kills more of us.

Because the Democrats can't message their way out of a paper bag?

If the Democrats could actually do anything, they should and would have started a long time ago.

Fish rot from the head down. Not until the blood stops flowing to Trump's brain will we know what happens next.

But for complete absence of morals or conscience, no one can replace Trump. It would be hard to even try.

Where will all the people who came out to vote in 2008 who'd never voted before (but do so now) go without Trump's shadow?

Because they're the Democrats. We couldn't have a worse opposition party with worse leadership than the Democrats.

You will never get a deplorable Trumping MAGAt to admit Trump's unwell.

Democrats are owned by the same people who own the Republicans.

But get a bigger return on investment from Republicans.

Because republicans aren't under any pretense to pretend they care about America or Americans.

"I don't give a ---- about Americans."

I have seen that kind of bruise on friends who were on blood thinners.

Why aren't the Democrats doing anything?

Senate Democrats had a chance to kibbosh an election denier from becoming a USDJ.

They confirmed the MAGAt.

Who among the Dems is going to put forth that message? Chuck Schumer, he with the paunch and cheaters at the end of his nose? Some other person in office since the days of dial phones? The message has to come from some younger, more robust person. I am surprised Gov. Newsom hasn't taken up the cause...

days of dial phones

I miss dial phones. Those whirs and clicks.

Sensual.

Progressives.

Unfortunately republicans have turned the term "progressive" into something Americans hate.

Because the rich prefer spending our tax dollars on themselves.

Dummkopf Trumpf addressed the USCG Academy graduating class and said he may seek a third term.

"See ya in 2032" and other garbage comments.

Somebody passed out from listening to the Dotard.

See ya in 2032

If Trump is still alive in 2032, he'll still be the president.

Guaranteed.

I'll take one of those 15 lb., black dial phones over an effing cell phone anyday.

The sooner he dies - by whatever means necessary - the sooner America can start the long slow process of rebuilding.

Oh well, MAGA don't care, they have their dear leader and he is murdering across the globe, and that is like a night out at pro wrestling for them. Oh sure, they said they didn't want stupid foreign wars...but when push comes to shove, they are owned brownshirts of a fascist.

The odds continue to increase on Trump launching a nuclear strike.

It seems that we are reliving the plot to Stephen King's "The Dead Zone".

It's really pretty eerie.

I wonder if nukes are as dangerous as mail-in ballots?

The Dead Zone is one of those instances where the novel and the film version are both excellent.

And any film Christopher Walken plays in is bound to be entertaining.

What we are all facing is a combination of The Dead Zone and It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis (1935).

Our dystopia was made possible by all of the status quo politicians from both parties, corrupted officials like USDJ Aileen Kelly, oligarchs, the MSM, Super PACs, the banks, and SCOTUS.

The Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) would not be operating with such hubris and impunity had the system stopped them somewhere along the way.

I'm reading Hitler's Secret Bankers by Adam LeBor.

The industrial scale looting of Jewish properties and assets during the Holocaust-- down to the gold fillings in their teeth-- was not possible without aiders and abettors throughout Europe and in Switzerland.

The Bern-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS) carried on for most of the Second World War and acted as a foreign branch of the Reichsbank.

Evil machinations require underlings-- kapos or familiars -- who should not go unpunished when the overlords are finally ousted.

Here is a 1943 report from the BIS which is clinically written, like "Japan expanded its size":www.bis.org

Just say it: Trumpy is a sick POS.

Just say it: this site has become useless without an ad blocker. It's starting to remind me of older websites that became infested with endless popups and pop out ads, many of which contained malware. Half the time I have to reload or restart the browser just to be able to click on anything, including the text field form. And don't even get me started on that annoying drop down that covers the whole screen and takes forever to collapse up when you can finally click the up arrow.
