A picture is worth a thousand words.Remember the old novel about our mistreatment of US colonial populations entitled "The Ugly Americans"? Still apt after all these years.

Is a stalled escalator a better metaphor for the Trump Presidency than a treadmill to nowhere?

Trump is sensing his impending doom. Maybe it's because the Epstein scandal is torturing his already frazzled nervous system or because of other intractable moral problems eating away at him, but his behavior lately shows how desperately he needs to display power. Next stop: Portland and more chaos.

A sadistic regime draws sadistic personalities to serve within it. Don't expect less police brutality after the incident shown here; instead, expect more. Trump and those around him are classic sadists. They will continue to rule with a iron hand because it gratifies their inner need to hurt people.

Is this new babe Hope Hicks Two? And is she a threat to the rest of the Trump harem? Pam baby, watch your back, there's a an interloper in town and it looks like you might soon be a former Attorney General. You're gonna have to do something dramatic to save your job. Panic time at Main Justice.

"When he steps down." Presumably still in one piece- as Putin will be- after years of war in his backyard. Ever notice how the men who plan wars, who start wars and who benefit from wars when they're finally over always come out alive and well, while millions of nobodies lie dead forever and ever?

The Madness of King Donald. It deepens by the day. More and more bizarre behavior. Ever increasing pursuit of social disruption and intrusion into everyday lives of Americans. Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. Keep the pot boiling. Prolong the lunacy. Drag the country with you into the abyss.

Sadists are continuously seeking novel diversions from their internal deadness. They feel nothing but their own emptiness and are desperate to fill this void, so they must constantly create situations that produce this sense of artificial excitement. War is the ultimate diversion.

I wonder if we Americans realize how bad things really are. I doubt it. Our indifference to the brittleness of democracy has led to today's precarious situation. Seventy-seven million US citizens paved the way for this moment to arrive when they unthinkingly returned Trump to the White House.

Just another act of an imperial president who simply will not let up in his compulsive drive toward total authoritarianism. The pathology only worsens with each passing day. And the saddest part is that it is already too late to stop him. We had our chance way back in 2017, but we were intimidated.

You know what the Democrats need in order to win the next presidential election? They need a general! Or an admiral or an astronaut. Or a major sports hero. They need a male with all the macho trimmings that the country - and especially the overlooked working man subculture - really craves.

Pete has been quiet for some time. Is he no longer interested in a run for the presidency? The Dems need an eloquent spokesperson who can - and will - enter into daily combat with the hijackers who are running our democracy into a ditch. If Fate doesn't stop the 79-year-old Trump, a Democrat has to.

I suggest you revise your optimistic regard for Notre Dame, who just concluded their game against Texas A&M in inglorious fashion, muffing an extra point attempt and whiffing on an interception in their own end zone with only seconds left. A&M proceeded to score the winning touchdown and win, 41-40.

Let's not overload poor Kash Patel's in-box. Asking him to release the Epstein files AND solve the Kirk assassination is going way too far. Keep in mind his primary FBI responsibility, to serve and protect Donald Trump. So everything Patel does has to pass through this special filter.

What do you suppose Trump was thinking when he made this maniac a presidential advisor? Was he trying to poison American discourse to the point of no return? Yes, I think he was doing exactly that. Trump loves chaos.

Sheer pathology. Real clinical stuff. Brings to mind the predictions of the old sages who saw "the men in the white coats" coming to pull the nutjobs off the streets. Which is precisely what Stephen Miller is, a nutjob at large.

If you're eagerly awaiting news from the FBI on Tyler Robinson and his motivations, associates and background, you'd better be patient. Kash Patel is running things, so it will take time for the facts of the case to pass through his Trump filter.Don't expect a factual account to emerge anytime soon.

Trump will do nothing of the sort. He thrives on chaos. The more turmoil there is, the more power he can seize under the guise of restoring order. Peace is the furthest thing from Donald Trump's mind. Sustaining disorder is foremost.

The more these right wingers get worked up and vocal, the plainer it is to see how unstable and rabid they really are. Insanity has found a permanent home in MAGA politics. If you doubt me, see Stephen Miller's latest foamy-mouthed diatribe about annihilating leftists. He is an authentic psycho.

Have any of MSNBC's on-air hosts taken a stand on Matt Dowd's firing yet? They should, even if they agree with the network's position. Bet nobody will come out and condemn the injustice of his dismissal. There's a real opportunity for a show of principle by his colleagues, but my money's on silence.

MSNBC has capitulated to right wing political correctness by firing Matthew Dowd for remarks made PRIOR to confirmed assassination of Charlie Kirk. Apparently, in the eyes of the current management at that network, it is forbidden to say anything unflattering about a shooting victim, even if true.

Was that $100.00 Kash's money? Who gets it, the guy's family or the clergyman who called authorities? Was a reward of that size really necessary so early in the case? After all, the perpetrator was caught within hours of the crime because of film footage clearly defining him. Taxpayer money wasted.

A hinge point? Really? What, exactly, is so novel about an American male seeking his own brand of justice by resorting to gunplay? It's a resolution of inner turmoil that has been going on in our country since its inception. There is nothing new in this incident except the names of the principals.

We hear that a clergyman identified the assassin. So, Kash, pay the man! Next time, don't spend taxpayers money so easily. Was it really necessary to offer a reward when photos of suspect would easily have produced immediate recognition?

If Trump can rename the DOD, can he change the name of the White House to Trump Mansion? I'm serious; can he? Can Washington, DC become Trump City? Pennsylvania Ave. become Trump Boulevard? Does his megalomania have no endpoint short of apotheosis?

And spending millions of taxpayers' money in the process. The passivity of the Republican Party is truly astounding. The moral cowardice of that body is the biggest story of our current history. Trump is emulating Julius Caesar in morphing from president to dictator and assuming he can pull it off.

Another act of executive overreach by a demented president who is now creating a war mentality. He will soon begin actual warlike incidents, the sinking that drug-running boat is just an opening tease, because he wants to assume the mantle of wartime president and assert the prerogatives thereof.

Trump's appointees all seem to have the same official mission: the failure of the American political system. Whether it's Kennedy or Bondi or Patel or Gabbard or McMahon or any of the other human wrecking balls, their job is to screw things up so badly that public confidence is shattered.

How long before the grief takes a mercenary turn and the lawsuits start pouring in? Tragedy in America inevitably results in a big payday for lawyers. Sorry to be so cynical, but this is how our culture plays out time after time. Money toxifies everything.

What happened to these children was horrific. But is the family grief any different from the grief suffered by parents daily in Gaza and Ukraine? Every day children are being blown to bits on the orders of grown men who have forgotten what it is to be fathers.

One question about the partisan bias shown by the Republican members of Congress and the super majority on the Supreme Court, not to mention the legion of MAGA loyalists throughout the current administration, is this: Have you ever asked your children if they are proud of what you are doing?

If " No one is above the law" is a true statement, why isn't Donald Trump in prison? He is a convicted felon, yet he sits in the Oval Office and presides over the USA. How is this consistent with the principles of justice? In claiming "No one is above the law", Patel shows he is beneath contempt.

When Epstein wanted to call one of his multitude of friends, didn't he refer to his alphabetical phone directory? Isn't that a list of friends and associates? To say he had no contact information on people he dealt with is absurd.
