Political, media junkie. Get governments and voters out of my health care. Trump proves we’re living in the stupidest times. Occasionally sports, especially college basketball. Books and pets.

"Trump’s accelerating mental crackup also underscores the degree to which the White House press corps has failed to cover the despotic president in a way that accurately conveys to Americans the depth of his mental deterioration and fascist extremism."

Here’s my question: Trump campaigned on “no more foreign wars”. Now he says previous presidents (including himself?) ignored the Iran threat. So did he know he was lying about not getting us into foreign wars? Or is he so addled he just woke up one day and thought, today’s a good day to bomb Iran?

Straddling that fence must be getting pretty uncomfortable for Trump acolytes. Iran couldn’t have been close to developing a nuke because we obliterated its program last year, but we’re bombing Iran to keep it from developing a nuke. 🤷‍♀️

This is such a weird speech. No focus. Just random unrelated anecdotes. No natural progression. I guess competent speechwriters passed on Trump.

My ears are bleeding from listening to Trump’s insane “speech” to military officers. You guys, he’s not well. Where are Republicans brave enough to say out loud what they must know?

I came in late, so maybe I missed the big news. But a news conference about moving Space Force HQ…really. Although I did appreciate the reporter asking if Trump knew about the “he’s dead” comments that circulated the past few days. 😂 Also, he looks awful. Fuming about Putin, Xi, Modi meet and greet?

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

I hope the rest of the world will forgive us when Trump and his idiotic, dangerous band of thugs are out. The majority of US voters did not choose Trump. Reminding myself of that keeps me going.

The side-by-side photos of Trump and Newsom in today’s NYT digital edition is remarkable. Newsom looks powerful and sharp, like a leader. Trump looks…well, like Trump…schlumpish and disheveled. So telling.

All this hand-wringing, fraught negotiating, middle-of-the-night voting, attempts at grandiose language, and ginned-up drama for what? Advantages for the already wealthy with little regard for Americans trying to improve their lives. In one bill because POTUS is too addled for complexity. 😢🤦‍♀️

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.

One of the many many things I didn’t miss about the first Trump regime is the “dear leader” cabinet meetings. It’s bad enough that these people are willing to prostrate themselves before him. Putting it on TV exponentially increases the ick factor. 😖

This the result of giving power to a backward-looking bully with limited ability/imagination. No new ideas, only attempts to recycle a past we couldn’t recreate even if we wanted to. We’re a global economy; that won’t change. The U.S. will just be left behind because of one man’s ego-driven idiocy.

So we’re on the side of murderous thugs who invade other countries now? Trump was getting some publicity about giving up things - mineral rights for example - to do this deal. Think he was afraid he appeared weak? All I can say is yelling at somebody you’ve invited to visit is rude…and weak.
