Trump seems surrounded by a gang of angry man-babies with major women issues and a need to repeatedly flex their he-manliness. They clearly worship their employer, slathered in makeup, glistening with the remains of an absurd, hair-sprayed combover. Did they all work for either Norma Desmond or Liberace back in the day?

Reagan "won" the Cold War is a GOPer myth as untethered from reality as the party's current worship of a thirty-four times convicted felon. Who else do they have to serve as a vehicle for their pathetic fantasies? Nixon? Harding?

Dumb, delusional, and demented, and this lying, 345-pound sack of blathering booshee thinks his lawyers are his problem?

No, Marco, they're participating collaborators.

And your party is addicted to foreign money.

So sad.

I think she actually gives a damn about her country.

What would you have those two boys do, earn an honest living?

Some of the archaeologists' numbers may deviate somewhat from the reality of the situation at Masada, but they do seem to have made their point: forget the idea of a years'-long siege. Ancient Rome was a roaring powerhouse at the time of Masada, and disruptions were simply not tolerated. (Check out the Arch of Titus in Rome, which commemorates the crushing of civil disturbance around that time and in that same general place.). The Masada story has been distorted by a need by some to add to the Israel foundation story and the reaction of others to that ahistorical approach to history. That aside, the Romans were well-practiced, efficient, and devastating in their military engineering.

The reports I read had the shooter's mother as a meth mess. So there's that into the mix as well.

Trump's response to a carefully crafted question calling for specific policy proposals demonstrated what fool this goober is. Pure gobbledegook from the thirty-four times convicted felon and obvious ignoramus the GOPers declare to be their sideshow Orange Julius.

Fat Man Little Boy's parents failed.

"It was one of the more incoherent things I've ever heard."

Wait'll you get a load of the crappola that's just gurgling to come out tomorrow at the gooberfest in Mosinee, New Mexico or Tralfamador or Michoacn or Dublin or wherever. I'll give you value for your money. And speaking of your money ... feed me!

What's weird is how she's found rent-free space inside your pinnish noggin. Lol.

"I don't have any problem with going to Europe, but I prefer the United States, and I prefer seeing the regular parts of the United States. I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There's something normal to me about it. I come from regular stock, and I prefer that. I prefer being around that."

Riiiiight.

Lichtman has a good record at this game.

When will the millions being duped by Trump realize they're doing Putin's bidding?

Until the Twelfth of Never, and "that's a long, long time."

Bribes to pols are now okay, per SCOTUS. (And payoffs to members of the Court? Fuhgedaboudit.)

Whatever Mike Pence is or was, politically he's become what he was well on his way to becoming before Trump gave him a new gawd to worship: irrelevant.

He can yammer on anll he wants about "the weave," but the old boy is clearly unraveling.

CORKY
That bit about the balm provided what was, for me, a new element to the tale. Very practical, very Roman.

A bit of gristle bearing a coded reference to the Nero Decree must've bubbled up from old Orange Julius's gut and bounced around his thick skull before getting "the weave" treatment and dropping among the general pop, like a stream of -------- at the county fair.

"At least two people were killed and at least four were injured after gunfire erupted today at Apalachee High School in Georgia, according to preliminary information from law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.

That "well regulated Militia" out and about, doing as Madison, Jay, Hamilton, et. al., intended.

How much money changed hands and who got it?
