Not sure we need a show that highlights stupid people. It would be like seeing a different American voter with the same problem in every episode, which would get boring pretty quickly. Such a show has been running for more than 10 years and the ratings suck.

I wonder that anyone would take seriously such an obvious boondoggle, for which there is no possible way to pay it. 269.8 million adults in the U.S. getting $5000 checks would cost $1,349,000,000,000. 1.349 trillion dollars.

I think tearing down Trump's monstrosities, and scraping all that gold crap off the walls, would be healthy symbolism about recovering the country. In addition, fire all his appointees. He's the guy who wanted Schedule F - the next Dem POTUS should use it, then cancel Schedule F. But use it first.

The only likely way to end the nightmare of Trump—and Republicans supporting him no matter how much he ruins the country—is for Democrats to win in Republican-leaning states and congressional districts. www.thebulwark.com/p/neera-tand...

Hey man, when I called to schedule an MRI appointment at my local VA last week, they told me there were no openings until NOVEMBER. Maybe work on that before you start calling for more war with Iran. You can't even take care of the combat vets you have. Why are you trying to create new ones?

The replies on X are mostly negative, with so many claiming that Navy deployments ARE like the Lincoln's (they're not and I would know). The community note is wrong, too, saying it's just a "PLAN" for "ONE" ship. The stupid is legion.

And some voters are stupid enough to believe it. But when they get booted off their Medicaid insurance come January, they'll blame the Democrats, even though it was the GOP's Bug Ugly Bill's that is responsible.

The way Johnson talks, it seems they have some belief in winning the mid-terms, which can only happen if they are up to no good.

I don't see meeting with Kushner as a productive use of the future Speaker's time. Kushner is not a government official.

So I've heard, but I find that argument a tad wanting. The idea that reality has a bias seems about as true as the saying "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Maybe. But we have seen a lot of evidence to the contrary.

FOX *is* mainstream media. Calling it anything else is disengenuous.

Since we know the GOP does not want ANY social spending (Medicare, SS, etc.), one can draw at least an inferential conclusion that driving up the debt helps promote reductions/elimination of the things they hate.

MSNOW needs to stop trying to be so centrist that they sound ridiculous. No one on the right watches them, so who are they kidding? If left-leaning media keeps harping on left/DSA vs. centrist division of Dem party, they only help the GOP. Nixon made Welker look pretty stupid in this segment.

It may be all about trying to secure that pardon he's applied for, which might allow him to get his law license back. But given all the things Cohen has said about Trump, a public reproachment just seems icky.

I think any story that involves Michael Wolf telling it loses a lot of traction. Better it comes from lass tainted source(s).

The whole Natalie thing explains why Trump has always said his "polls were great" & stuff like that. He rarely sees anything reality-based because Natalie constantly presents him with nothing but grossly biased, false stuff. Such a diet has skewed him to be even more delusional & that's something!

My crack at Natalie Harp mania. She's obviously a stone cold weirdo, but what's more telling is how the White House is hyper-defensive about she clings to Trump like a barnacle. Having a full-time babysitter draws attention to Trump's age. www.salon.com/2026/08/19/t...
