Trump is already plagued with paranoia and delusions. No telling how he'll handle Vance.

For instance, if this was a future documentary movie, he'd murder Vance before Vance murdered him. Maybe the Speaker, too, if he thinks it's a plot.

I also think that Putin's certain knowledge of Donald's sickness and incapacity is one reason Russia keep acting out."

Acting out???

I think I would have used the word "lurking.

ZED

"He is going to murder some more."

Truer words have never been spoken.

However, the GOP controlled Congress will never revolt and admit that Trump has gone bonkers.

Maybe they're more worried about which one of them is going to be next, especially after the Kirk murder in Utah.

HUGHMASS

Hitler had the same aspirations.

So, it's fairly certain that a Republican administration won't be the one coming to the rescue this time.

Who would be surprised if Trump's handlers already have look-alikes on standby?

It wouldn't do to let America's newest enemies (Russia, China, North Kores) find out that Trump has slipped over the edge to full blown dementia.

The question is, how long can they keep him propped up with meds?

"Charlie Kirk was killed by PEDO DONNIE."

LEGALLYOURDEAD does make a small point, albeit one that should be filed as unintended consequences.

As an admitted skeptic, I wondered from the beginning if Kirk's ambitious "Turning Point" kingmaker campaign across 12 states was more like a name recognition campaign for himself as the new "king" in 2028.

Must be pure love because Oliver North . . . how to say this politely . . . did not age well.at all.

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.

DOC

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.

DONNER

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?

DANNI @ #10

"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?

CORIOLANUS

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!

CBOB

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."

SPEAKS

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

REDIAL

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

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

DANNI @ #16

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.
