Newsom is also mocking Trump's frequent over use of "Many people are saying" when he wants to create a false impression.

Just lately Trump said, "Many people are saying that a dictator might not be so bad."

That's called planting a seed.

"In February 2025, Lake was announced as a special adviser at the USAGM under the Trump administration."

Not bad, not bad.

She was shooting for the V.P. spot but a few sleep-overs at Mar-a-Lardo wasn't enough to out-bid Peter Thiel's money.

Trump is a taker, not a giver.

I remember the "Trump Bucks." You were promised you could go to your bank and cash them in for double the money.

Trump relies on: There's a sucker born every minute." and he's fleecing the flock as fast as he can.

Comon knowledge:

Like Trump, they also like to project blame on others for the things they do most themselves.

It's like a running joke.

"Trump in heels"

Whoa!

Isn't that Lindsey Graham's job?

AU

I always did suspect Thiel of wanting to be a "shadow president." He certainly has spent millions of dollars supporting and grooming his protege' over the years just for this one purpose. It stands to reason Thiel wouldn't settle for a second banana V.P. for all his time, effort, patience and money.

Does anybody think J.D Vance is polishing Putin's knob in the event that Trump "accidently" falls out a 10th story window?

Inevitable! When his male libido needs a "pick me up."

CLOWN

"Lowering the standards" probably means hiring unemployables sleazy enough to sign a loyalty pledge.

All we can do is VOTE and HOPE that this time Trump has crossed the Rubicon.

I agree. But, other than bitter complaints to our State Senators and Representatives, (and the media) the only REAL voice we have that will make a difference will be in the honest midterms.

And we all know that Trump is doing everything in his power to juryrig that.

We're sort of caught in a political vice of Trump's making. The public has to REBEL, en masse, and vote the GOP bums and Trump coat-tailers out of office. It's the only way to break the vice before the 2028 general.

Whether pedophilia, or support of a pedophile, will do the trick or not is up in the air.

LAMP

It appears to be ingrained.

LAMP

You have to ask?????

The public has already put 2 + 2 together. And they don't like the answer.

Right now, Trump is just trying to run out the clock.

However, (thinking ahead) if revealed, it's likely to become cause for Trump's impeachment, among other sleaze ball illegalities if and when he becomes a civilian.

It's not against the law for the President of the United States to lie to the people.

Unfortunately, the President we have now is a compulsive liar who would rather lie when it's easier to tell the truth. There's something mentally evil with the man that compels him to hurt rather than help.

This doesn't come as any surprise. The Roberts Court has been conducting sneak attacks on the Constitution and American democracy for years.

The future of America now rests in the hands of the midterms. Knowing how slickery our capturers are, I wouldn't want to bet too much on that, either.

America does have a history of righting its own Ship of State when the chips are down. I just wish it wouldn't wait until the last minute to do it.

If Trump ever had the biggest of anything it would be his inferior complex.

Surrounding himself with people who always "yes" him to death is how he hides the truth about himself. He's weak, incompetent, mentally impotent, paranoid, lazy, vain and a lousy liar who has been scamming and grifting his way through his entire life at the expense of everybody and everything he touches. If he ever becomes a fascist dictator he won't have a shred of safety. He'll have so many targets on his back from his inner circle that his paranoia will drive him over the edge.

"Et tu, Brute?"

DOC

And probably Newsworthy, too, considering whether or Pete Hegseth has the Mother of all hang overs.

Trump always tries to over-compensate for his failures.

Easier, I suppose, than admitting to himself that underneath all that braggadocios frothing, he's still a yellow-bellied coward.

BTW, REAL heroes don't call themself a hero.

CORIOLANUS

"Denied" is only slightly acceptable. NEVER would be better.

REIN

When Trump doesn't get his way, everything is on the table. His vague threats of "harsh" could be anything from cutting federal funding for pet projects in Colorado to a smut campaign to viciously destroy somebody's life and career. (Trump's favorite)

Revenge is never far from Trump's mind, like an undisciplined 2-year old who has never been taught that "no" means "no."

Trump prefers his criminals to be HOME GROWN!

I'm getting tired of this guessing game.

Will somebody please ask AI when and how Trump is going to self-destruct.

'Cause right now he's scaring the scat out of everybody.

"Why do Republicans seem to be so afraid of voters?"

It's a Follow The Leader thing. Trump and FOX conditioned their lazy minds well.

It's apparent that the really stupid ones don't have a clue about the disease that's been fermenting in Trump's mind since his childhood. Combine that with age related paranoid onset and we'll all have a raving lunatic on our hands.

"Become emperor of the world."

Don't be silly, DONNER.

Wouldn't that require 20 paces at dawn with Putin?

They can't both be Emperor of the World.

Trump, by nature, is a defeatist. Of course, his numbers are under water.

He can't help himself. It's the story of his life.
