Perhaps we should compose a "Trump Fails" list, assigning each one a number from, 1 to 1000 so we don't have to waste time describing each one.

His failures are so predictable that a list could be composed for the future as well. I have a feeling that's what Kim Jong, Xi Jinping and Putin did.

What else can be said? Kirk asked for it and he got what he asked for. We make our choices.

As for the shooter, that was no deer rifle. From that distance and that accuracy, a laser equipped military assault rifle would be my guess.

My second guess is that the other 11 rallies at college campuses to lure America's youth over to the dark side have been cancelled.

Also, Evil can wear many different disguises.

As the Chief Engineer of the move to autocracy, it isn't Mr. Putin calling the shote as some people assume.

It's the U.S. Supreme Court whose decisions keep Trump off or on a leash. But mostly to protect Trump himself from the worst of his self-destructive instincts.

Of course they can't do everything without being obvious. Sometimes Trump just slips out of the collar like a disobedient dog.

Actually, AUGUSTINE, if you follow their decisions and connect the dots, it's the U.S. Supreme Court who is engineering the assault on American democracy. I notice that they rein Trump in every once in a while when they think he's endangering their slower, but more permanent, incremental plan of assault by moving too fast.

The doves were a nice touch.

Although if El Cheapo Trump tried it, he'd probably use pigeons.

It's no different than some people believing Trump is the Second Coming.

And Trump thought for sure the choice would be a miracle worker like himself.

How dare they!

Time to wage war on the Vatican.

I wonder what would happen to Trump's war with Venezuela if China pulled the plug on semiconductors?

"There are no Democrats in China!"

Whatever their stripe, they're not rushing back to America either, to help Trump with his low job creation numbers.

War with Venezuela?

With Trump, Hegseth and Rubio calling the shots?

I suspect the time for "talk" is over. Mr. Putin made that clear in Beijing last week.

That spectacular military parade, like the one Trump wants for himself, must have hit him right in the gut.

Good shot!

Simple answer . . SCAPEGOATING. (It's always somebody else's fault.

Even back in 2019 Trump was practicing the Sgt. Schultz defense. "I know nothing. I see nothing."

Naw . . Trump has $$$$$$ signs in his eyes. Somebody musta told him people are throwing money in the fountain.

"Looks like the DR hamster needs a shot of Gatorade."

Thanks for that. I was getting ready to send an email to Norton.

Most likely dry runs to test the limits of his power for later on

ICE will probably scoop up a few innocent "brown people" just to justify being there.

Trump doesn't know how to earn respect so he settles for fear.

He's still jealous of Obama.

Trump gets a woody making people suffer.

Russia's attacks on Ukraine are making Trump look bad. His most recent screed is that he going to have another "talk" with Vladimir Putin soon to see if he can "coddle" him into accepting a cease fire agreement, at least until after the midterms.

It would appear from what happened in Beijing recently that Mr. Putin is no longer interested in Trump's political 'trail of tears' and has chosen other more stable (or less insane) partners. Moreso because Trump has managed to alienate most of the NATO partners that were standing in the way of Putin's aggression plans. IOW, Trump is of no further us to Mr. Putin. At least not at the moment.

Mr. Putin is fairly savvy about American politics. It wouldn't surprise me if he anticipates Trump losing control of both Houses of Congress and is most likely facing impeachment.

I'm reminded of a book from many years ago called "None Dare Call It A Conspiracy"

Never fear. Trump is here.

He thinks employment will pick up next year when American manufacturing plants in China rush back to the United States to avoid tariffs.

Well, there's a little hitch in Trump's git-along.

Aside from the fact that American manufactures in China would be forced to relinquish 10% ownership of their companies to the U.S. Government (just like in Russia) for the privilege of being allowed back in, they also think that Trump has caused too much instability in the world market for them to risk the move.

In short, American manufacturers feel safer in China than they do in their home country.

Trump FOILED AGAIN. They're not coming back!

Didn't some judge already tell Keri Lake to cool her jets?

Merrily, merrily, merrily

It's off to the Supreme Court we go
