Sounds like the “experts in the field” she consulted were publicists in the MAGA griftershere and not the State Bar of California or and actual lawyer.

It offers minimal economic value and directly harms the environment and our health (par for the course with MAGA). Firms involved will share in the long-term reputational harm the GOP will soon face. Democratic legislators should make this point crystal clear NOW!

“…getting ready to begin” is Trumpish for “I am making this all up.”

MAGA is beginning to ramp up its argument that the coming Blue Wave election was fraudulent. No evidence needed—just a credulous media and a false-premise fallacy on repeat.

Stupid implies an innate quality. "Willfully ignorant" is perhaps a better term for most of MAGA. MAGA's willful ignorance, whether motivated by racism, greed, tribalism, or some other social pathology, allows them to ignore the obvious and follow an objectively odious politician.

These statements are an effort to pre-position "evidence" in support of Trump's delusional claims about election fraud. It is part of an ongoing criminal conspiracy that began in 2020 and never stopped.

He is actively violating US law; he is effectively making Ukraine an adversary; he is destroying any shred of US international standing (except with the dictator club, of course)...all for a political stunt (the diesel numbers are trivial). The bigger the con - the bigger the lie.

"...defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain." One day (soon), the full record of the brazen crimes of Jan 6th and the ongoing cover-up by the GOP will be public. Dishonorable will be the kindest opprobrium directed your way.

The impeachment candidate list keeps growing. Are mass impeachments even a thing? Perhaps "rocket impeachments" or "fast-track impeachments." Time to innovate.

The "data" was his record of public statements, his book, his poor character (unfaithfulness, alcohol abuse, accusations of sex assault, etc.), and his lack of basic qualifications for the job. The only worse candidate for SecDef was probably Trump himself. Tell me again how it was a "mistake."

Hard truth is that most of this is the result of “we the people” being asleep at the democracy switch for decades. Criminal interests and greedy politicians simply walked thru increasingly unlocked doors and set up house. The trick is to throw them out without burning down the house around us.

"There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain." (Liz C.) For Rogers, Collins, and an increasing number of GOP candidates, it is far too late. They cannot scrub the stench of dishonor with late campaign conversions. Sorry...your ash heap is waiting.

A decade of people and media saying - “It was just a joke." "He didn't actually mean that." "What he meant to say was..." "You're overreacting." …is the real crisis in our nation. It has made the unacceptable normal.

It does NOT matter if it was paid back or not. The act itself is public evidence of an illicit and corrupt relationship within Trump’s family. Yet another Trump connection to Putin. “Russia hoax” my ass!

Yes - Trump is padding his fragile ego for the fall. He is also creating a body of delusional 'evidence' to support his coming accusations of election fraud. Recall that nothing about the run-up to Jan. 6 was real, rational, or proven. Buckle up and vote!

Spineless cowards, all. But the fact that he cannot say (or does not believe) that supporting Trump was his biggest regret shows his true character.

Some political images have an enduring moral quality. Pics from the 1963 March on Washington are a proud part of our national history. Other images rightfully evoke shame. The faces behind Trump will be forever linked to a national disgrace.

Just wait till the post-midterms turnover and the new Congress launches its corruption hearings. Trump will be handing out cabinet-level jobs to folks even dumber and less qualified than the ones there now! (I know - it is hard to imagine) It can get a lot worse, and it will...

GOP is still trying to rewrite history. In a 1977 interview with British journalist David Frost, Nixon confessed to his crimes: “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” Wrong then and wrong today.

Officials can be wrong about many things (like the specific future effects of a policy) without being outright dishonest. But that is never the case with Trump's administration. They have no coherent policies - future effects are by chance (and usually negative). All they have are lies and BS.

There is actually a long list of reasons to merit a review — The Anti-Propaganda rider of the 2026 Consolidate Appropriations Act, Purpose Statute (31 U.S.C. § 1301), the Antideficiency Act, Elements of the Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. § 7324), and the Federal Election Campaign Act.

He is an invenerate liar. The media & voters should treat every Trump promise of future ‘wins’ as simply another down-payment on a flatout lie.
