You MAGA boot aficionados are eventually going to pay a price for your fealty to the supreme sleazeball.

Of course he knew.

If you'll notice, the reflecting pool and all these other scandals and controversies have one thing in common: Trumps lack of integrity. He simply has no honor whatsoever. That used to matter in a president.

Oh, and to be fair, the political pendulum always swings back and forth. It's just that right now, the pendulum's swing to the left is more pronounced because of the trauma the blatantly corrupt Trump has inflicted on a large sector of the electorate.

I purposely wrote out my own thoughts on why progressives are winning before reading the article. Now that I've read it, I see that there is much overlap, so I'll just leave it as is:

1. Trump has seriously damaged nearly every American institution and ideal, as well as America's international standing. Establishment Democrats have been far too weak in responding. Many people see this going on every day and are fed up with it.
2. Trump aside, both the Republicans and the establishment Democrats have shown they'd rather stay in power than rock the boat. The wealth gap continues to grow.
3. Boomers are in or close to retirement and are enjoying greater wealth than previous generations. Not only that, but many boomers grew up in households where the income of only one parent was enough to sustain a decent lifestyle, including a house and a car or two, college for the kids and a more reasonable bottom line on healthcare. Young people face a less rosy picture, as the costs of housing, groceries, education and healthcare have all soared. Good-paying jobs are also harder to find. Younger people feel bitter toward most folks over 40 and don't want to vote for them anymore.
4. The COVID pandemic had a long-term impact on the workplace. It allowed millions of people to discover work from home, and most of them preferred not to go back to the office when the pandemic faded. For better or for worse, loyalty to one's employer declined. Even outside the work-from-home crowd, the traditional mindset of doing whatever the boss or company tells you to do has slipped dramatically. There's more to life than work. This changing view aligns better with progressives.
5. Younger and more progressive voters are increasingly wary of the United States' support for Israel because of Netanyahu's brutal response in Gaza and Lebanon. AIPAC funding is not working in your favor if you're trying to win the progressive vote.

ZZ Top's 1970s records showed them in their prime. They could lay down a seriously funky, Texas-style, blues-rock groove. The fellers were still a great live act after that, but they eventually started veering toward novelty on their records. I don't begrudge them though. They had already done it all.

Maybe she identifies as a man.

Condescending, irrelevant and unfunny.

Guess you don't have anything germane to say. Maybe you think this is how presidents should speak to reporters. Or anyone.

Fits with the M.O. of Trump 2.0. A systematic effort to rework data to fit an aberrant, anti-democratic worldview in which a select few decide what the rest of us will be entitled to have and to know. Information is knowledge, and knowledge is power, so deleting or manipulating it keeps the rich and powerful in charge.

Trump's motto: Rules for thee, but not for me.

I hope America's so-called system of checks and balances can withstand MAGA's effort to bypass them.

At one time we thought they were infallible in protecting the will of the majority. We know now that a madman who ignores reality, acts entirely in his own interest and has cultivated a following of conspiracy-minded kooks can do serious damage to such safeguards. Anyone still defending Trump is as guilty as he is.

It's important to remember that he's as dumb as he is dishonest.

Some people will go to the ends of the Earth to explain why it's a good thing to be cruel to others. That's how MAGA continues its stranglehold on 1/3 of America.

America grows more Big Brotherly with every passing day, and Flock cameras, as well as the Trump administration - with the help of Elon Musk's massive data theft - are accelerating the pace. It's another alarming attack on our right to be left alone.

It's already absurd how much we pay for insurance, especially when you consider ever-rising deductibles and co-pays. My best option this year was a family plan with a $6,000 deductible!

Somebody has to pay for the new ballroom and DJT's preferred warship aesthetics.

Lick that boot a little harder, Visitor. You're sure to impress the boss now!

Sore loser Donald Trump, the least honorable president in history, is such a liar, reprobate and egotist that literally nothing he says or does deserves consideration.

He's incapable of accepting defeat, so he has created a cottage industry of election deniers. Their presence in any position of power exacerbates the damage he has done to our democracy and its institutions. We must fight them with everything we've got, or the cruelty and dysfunction this administration has made its calling card will grow even worse, and the existential threat already facing us will become reality.

Lindell is the epitome of a MAGA cultist. Dumb, gave up everything, has no morals, believes Trump, supposedly recovering from a meth addiction, a chronic failure, worthless.

Satin sheets to lie on
Satin pillows to cry on
Still, I'm not happy, don't you see?

Ha ha. Sorry, Mike! And Don...

He's a disgrace every day, with no sense of honor whatsoever, so I'm not surprised.

Bill Johnson is either not alert enough, not smart enough or not sincere enough to be taken seriously. He speaks calmly, which gives the impression that he is reasonable. But he's not. He's a troll. You guys waste your time talking to him.

I've seen Nick Adams' posts under his exaggerated "alpha male" persona on social media. They're so stupid that they read like satire. But, like most of the MAGA "movement," apparently it's not a joke, he just lacks ethics.

The shameful attacks on Fauci, who spent his entire career trying to keep people well, but not on Trump, who spent his entire career lying, cheating, sexually abusing and grifting, show how hopelessly far from reality the MAGA fanboys are.

Obviously the family was close to developing a nuclear weapon.

Just two weeks away, I hear.

Despite Trump's history of dumping allies willy-nilly, Pirro becomes just another fool who threw her life away, endlessly professing her loyalty, only to be unceremoniously tossed under the bus.

No matter what happens under the current president, the Republicans always say it was the fault of the Democrats who preceded him.

The Trump entourage has updated Harry Truman's famous quote, "The buck stops with the people before I got here."
