In January, a nationalistic Beijing think tank affiliated with Renmin University published a triumphant report about Mr. Trump's first year back in office. The report argued that his tariffs, attacks on allies, anti-immigration policies and assaults on the American political establishment had inadvertently strengthened China while weakening the United States.

Its title: "Thank Trump."

The report called Mr. Trump an "accelerator of American political decay," with the United States sliding toward polarization, institutional dysfunction and even "Latin American-style instability." His hostility toward China, the authors argued, was a "reverse booster" that unified the country and helped bring about its strategic self-reliance.

"At this turning point in history," the authors wrote, "what we hear is the heavy and haunting toll of an empire's evening bell."

Exit take: I'm guessing this was not what the average Trump voter thought they were getting.

"How many of the goods, that we buy each day, rely upon diesel-fueled trucks to transport those goods to their destination?"

If you bought it, a truck brought it.

And that truck?

Yeah.

Diesel.

In another century and a political universe far, far away, Michael Kinsley once defined a political "gaffe" as a comment where "a politician tells the truth " some obvious truth he isn't supposed to say."

The whole concept of the "gaffe" has fallen into disuse; or, rather, it's been bludgeoned by a political culture flooded with bluster, buncombe, --------, and a politician-in-chief whose rare statements of obvious truths are almost always accidental.

But, lo and behold, we had a Kinsley gaffe sighting Tuesday.

As inflation explodes and anxiety ripples through the economy, Trump was asked whether he was thinking about Americans' financial situation in his dealings with Iran.

Trump replied,

"Not even a little bit."

#76 Wasn't my point.

His grandfather and great-uncle weep ...

"His father comes from an Orthodox Jewish family of Ashkenazi Jewish descent from Ukraine, and his mother is a Catholic of Irish, French, Scottish, and English descent. He was raised Catholic, but his mother would also "incorporate Hanukkah" in the family's holiday celebrations."

#4 Flag: Oozes antisemitism

But of course.

#17 There was an attempt to turn the corner, Eb, as you know ...

Left Hind Turds is clearly unfamiliar with red line laws and deed restrictions.

"His father comes from an Orthodox Jewish family of Ashkenazi Jewish descent from Ukraine..."

You must have missed that part, LYD.

5. The New SCOTUS overrules every single egregious decision by the "Roberts Court."

#13 You are, as always, 100% correct, AngryDad. It means nothing.

Want to get money out of politics?

Here's the formula:

1. Obtain absolute political power in Congress in 2026-2027-2028. Nothing gets done without a preferred 280 Democrats in the US House, and a preferred 60 Democrats in the US Senate. NOTHING!


2. The Democratic candidate wins the White House in 2028.


3. Legislation is promulgated to completely restructure the Supreme Court of the United States. The legislation passes the US House by a substantial margin, and the expected filibuster, by the remaining elements of the MAGA/Republican Senators, is overruled by Democrats.


4. Said legislation completely restructures the existing population of SCOTUS, and gives the new Democratic President the authority to appoint a majority of the new Court.

That's how you do it.

We can't wait until Andrew Cuomo, Chuck Schumer, George Santos, and Alan Dershowitz make their final journey to the 'undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns.'

1. Can a white person be effectively represented by a black congressman?

So long as that white person is a Democrat, then Yes

2. Can a black person be effectively represented by a white congressman?

Sure, why not?
