Honestly, I’d rather be in a jet with an untrained plumber at the controls than a citizen in a country with a jibbering orangutan as its president.

If by “successful” you mean the fastest that America has suffered a strategic defeat, then yes, you’re correct.

Why don’t you take it easy and just list the legal, non-corrupt things Trump has done in the past years. There’s at least a top ten, yes?

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Thanks for this detailed explanation. How I put it to my friends: It's ironic because when you join the U.S. military (and it is strictly voluntary), you willingly waive some Constitutional rights, including the right to publicly express your political opinions, that you’ve sworn an oath to defend.

Not pointless from Karl’s point of view, which is that of most journalists: Try to get ratings & clicks by making a controversy where no exists instead of reporting the actual news.

I wonder what a psychologist would say about someone who strings together random sentences that have no bearing on the question (aka gibberish)? Also, Haberman & Swan better pack their go bags because they’re going to be locked up until they reveal their sources for the book.

If the Dems retake the House, I hope they impeach that criminal every week of every year. The Senate may never convict, but they’ll have to sit through one trial after another every damn day.

Has to be the media, which used to act in the public interest, because the U.S. courts can’t act after SCOTUS—basically—said “corruption” must involve a provable quid pro quo. In short, public shaming is the only avenue left.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS issues “GVRs” in the Alabama cases—vacating district court injunctions & remanding for further proceedings in light of Callais. In practice, this means Alabama can now redraw its congressional districts in time for the midterms:

Unless you're a Trump supporter. In that case, yes, try hailing a plane like it's a taxi--since you once heard someone say a plane "has to taxi" before leaving.

Here’s a deal that Trump can’t refuse: He resigns the presidency in exchange for being the “National Inspector of Fast Food,” which includes all he can eat whenever & wherever he wants. He can also go on Fox and talk about it 24-7.

No different from Trump’s treatment of Roy Cohn, who he refused to visit as he lay dying in a hospital. Once you’re of no more use to Trump, you might as well be used Kleenex.
