Your right. A jury, however, found differently.

If I was the mayor I'd lie too.

Of course you would. It's called "lack of character."

"One issue I see is that Pres Biden has said that the US will always support Israel. Fmr Pres Trump has said similar things." LAMPLIGHTER at #5 above.

Both come from a generational perspective steeped in Israel's founding and the mythologies surrounding it. You could hardly escape exposure that in the US during the 1950s and 1960s. Think of the movie Exodus, based on the 1958 Leon Uris novel with the same title. Add the political reaffirmation of Israel by both political parties, politicians looking for money and votes, organized lobbying, etc., and you can end up where both Biden and Trump are now on the subject: up that proverbial creek without a paddle. Trump could hardly care less: he'd be hawking copies of the Koran if he thought it might give him some advantage. As for Biden, at best he may feel badly misled and deeply disappointed, for which he should blame only himself. That mythology I mentioned earlier? It bears critical examination, as do all mythologies . From that, perhaps rethinking and reformulation of one's outlook with an eye toward attaining a more reality-based view.

Trump started out incurious and none too bright. Add his deteriorating health, ongoing mental decline and blooming madness fueled by rampant senility to that mix and you're dealing , at best, with an addled, deeply disturbed middle school boy. No surprise.

Yesterday my wife, our son, daughter-in-law, three boys (10, 10, 7) and a wee girl nearly 2 (in stroller):spent a pretty vigorous day hiking part of Chicago. Michigan Ave, the parks along the river and lake, through the Field, and back. Long day, lots going on, and not once during the entire time - throughout the day - could we collectively have managed to summon up the amount of self-pity, whinging, whining, and hateful obnoxiousness that Pink-Haired Elvis dumps in 5 seconds during one of his senile rants.

*Paine* not "Pained," although given his French Revolution experience ...

He's just trying to, uh, square the ... hmmmm ... circles?

Pained wielded a big pen in the pamphlet wars leading up to the Revolution. He paid a heavy price for his views. Fascinating character..

Steven Segal is 72.
End of story.

Bottom line?

"Donald Trump denies sending Vladimir Putin Covid-19 tests during the height of the pandemic. But Putin himself says it's all true" ("The Kremlin Throws Trump Under the Bus on Secret Putin Gift" [htpps://newrepublic.com/post/186959/kremlin-putin-trump-secret-covid-tests]).

SHOELESS, HANS & LEGALLY

Come on down! Lol

An intelligent and articulate WH press secretary is a big step up after Trump's parade of doofae.

Thanks for posting.

"It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character."
Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Someone said Trump said this :

Raw milk is she-made him-milk. "Sirrrrrr!" that guy, him, you know, the gimp with the limp, no, the other. "Try it in Pampoonaloona, with the cows the bulls leave behind." Well, yeah, but how about on the fin? There's sea swimmers with teetaatahs. Nobody knows that. And if they've got the nibble bits, well, what happens when you introduce electric batteries? Mermaid milking machines in big underwater holding tanks, chubby-chubba-fnoooook and you've got it: Trump Raw Mermaid Milk. This is what you get with high-grade genetic stuff. Ever wonder how much genetic material goes into making Levi's genes? Have you read Melanie's new book? I mean, I really don't care. Do U?

Elon Musk cosplaying "Dark MAGA," Tiny Tim clutching his ukulele, along with designated "responsible person" Carrot Top burst into Steven Wright's bar on the Venice Beach Boardwalk("Steven Wright's Bar on the Venice Beach Boardwalk"), interrupting Hunter Thompson's monologue about the intersection of politics, theater, and the absurd which, up to that point, kept a pack of twitchy bikers at bay until, now, Musk pirouetted and squealed, "Pedos, you're all pedos, hee, hee, hee!"

Way overdue.

They will do whatever he tells them to do.

But here's what I do: Take a piece of printer paper - first inclination was to say, "typing paper" - and draw a heavy dark line horizontally across the center. Call that line "Average Intelligence." Now, start population distribution and you'll see the distribution across the page with respect to that line.

Guess where you'll find most of your Trumpists, the goobers you see at those ridiculous rallies?

Looks like Bobby's brain worm is getting quite a workout.

I've heard when Trump and Putin meet the bulbous Americano squats, bows his head, rolls over, crashes to carpet and lets Putin scratch his belly lard until he purrs. Yup, that's what they're saying.

From Harris, answers to questions.

From Trump? Bwaaaaaak! Bwaaaaak!

Two words: Logan Act.

Harris and Walz will help air the place out, refreshing it from the stench of GOPer gooberism and pathetically beta behaviors.
