No. On top of everything else, he’s just a horribly unfunny “comedian.”

Same. I avoid anything he says because of the trauma and because, well, he was so fucking wrong.

We’ve reached the televised public execution stage of fascism. These sick sociopaths need to be removed from power and jailed. Hegseth in particular is a monster.

"Eggs expensive under Biden" was a story for six months. "Trump made everything expensive on purpose" is apparently just a Trump personality quirk we're all supposed to get used to.

I hope it amounts to nothing, but the news about pneumonic plague coming out of Russia feels eerily similar to the early days of COVID. I remember being told I was an alarmist … well, I wasn’t. I worked at Johns Hopkins and was there when they rolled out the COVID dashboard. Not again, please.

I am pretty certain that he fantasizes about such an attack because he knows it would allow him to declare martial law and cancel elections.

My biggest concern about Trump’s latest “let them take out LA or San Diego” comments is that he very likely fantasizes that such an attack would allow him to declare martial law and cancel elections.
