"Trumpism trashes moral norms in every direction, riding forward on a tide of adultery, abuse, cruelty, immaturity, grift, and corruption. Conservatives once believed in constitutional government and the Madisonian separation of powers; Trump bulldozes checks and balances, declaiming on social media, "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law." Reagan promoted democracy abroad because he thought it the political system most consistent with human dignity; the Trump administration couldn't care less about promoting democracy"or about human dignity."

David Brooks

"All administrations sometimes hide, shade or slant the truth-and occasionally lie outright. The present administration is different in that it lies regularly, blatantly, heedlessly."

Richard Primus

Someone could make a killing selling spines to Republican politicians.

They would not be interested.

"The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and "Thou shalt not lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment."

"Now, people ask me all the time how we got four surplus budgets in a row. What new ideas did we bring to Washington? I always give a one-word answer: Arithmetic."

"In the long term, Trumpism is doomed. Power without prudence and humility invariably fails. Nations, like people, change not when times are good but in response to pain. At a moment when Trumpism seems to be devouring everything, the temptation is to believe that this time is different."

They're saving a lot of money by not paying or feeding the troops. Sort of the way Trump has always done business.

If polls continue to sink we can forget about having an election in 2026. Rs will not let it happen unless they're going to win.

"The Republicans have always had a challenge that they were the party of wealthy Americans and business. The problem is wealthy Americans will always be a very small minority of Americans. So for wealthy Americans, they have to convince at least some nonwealthy Americans to support their platform. How do you do that? Well, you do it with issues of identity, their sense of threat, their sense of fear, their sense of the world is changing and "I'm being left behind." It's very effective."

Not so long ago our National Guard shot and killed people protesting the Viet Nam war. Some things never change.

I did not think it would ever happen, but I have to agree with Musk about this bill.

If Iran or North Korea want to nuke the US they will just ship the bombs in via FedEx. Cheaper and nobody would know where it came from. It's too far to use trucks like Ukraine did.

Pretty soon DJT will have insulted and blamed everyone on both sides of the aisle to the point that they stop paying him off in donations.

"Blaming the messenger for bad news might help in hiding these from the public for a while. But it doesn't make them go away."

Maher Abdallah, head of international relations at the al-Jazeera TV channel

If Iran or North Korea wants to nuke the US they would be crazy to use a missile. Then everyone in the world would know where it came from and who to shoot back at. They would ship the bomb in via UPS. Cheaper, more reliable, and nobody knows where it came from. Of course both of those countries ARE crazy.

"The U.S. government's use of ICE is reminiscent of how governments in countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua have used police and paramilitary units loyal to the president with impunity to suppress dissent."

"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you're just what they're looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."

"We now live in the Trump era, where the president's terrible ideas are made real by a team of enablers and toadies. Democracy may die in darkness, but under Trump, it's just as liable to die in dumbness."
