If you’re a Democrat and plan to vote this fall, please acquaint yourself now with what looks to me to be a highly skilled extrapolation of where that’s headed. Which is by definition not merely a best guess.

If Trump stuck two french fries in his nose and said he's going to tell Westeros to invade Narnia, Fox would devote 10 hours a day to the Narnian threat and the New York Times would run articles headlined "President Considers Expanding Conflict Zone; Critics Raise Questions"

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
 Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Hey Cali friends, I have no reach or influence but I have an idea. If Tom Steyer wants to win over the folks who won't support him because he's a billionaire, he should give away a really big chunk of his wealth - now. If public service is really his goal, give it away to prove it. Share please.

It's the only game that matters. My SKETCH of British politicians playing the Trump Game.
The first rule of the Trump Game, played by politicians around the world, is you do not talk about the rules of the Trump Game. The object of the game is to pretend that the President of the United States is a normal, rational statesman, perhaps an eccentric one, but fundamentally someone who is acting according to some strategy that the rest of us might one day hope to fathom. On no account are you ever to admit that he’s nasty, vain, venal, capricious and obviously unaware that his own doctors are testing him for signs of dementia.

The 2026 round of the game got off with a literal series of bangs, as the US military attacked Venezuela and kidnapped its president. On Sunday morning we were greeted by the sight of Nicolás Maduro being led down a hall at the Drug Enforcement Administration in New York. The floor had been painted with the slogan “Rule of Law”, to allow Americans to walk all over it.

At least 80 people who posed no threat to the US whatsoever were murdered in Trump's kidnapping operation. The US has become a complete rogue state with a terrorist in charge.

The destruction of the East Wing is absolutely horrible, but if you're more upset about that than Trump murdering dozens of people in the Caribbean with absolutely zero evidence that they were doing anything wrong, let alone anything that warrants the death penalty, you might want to rethink things.
