I know nothing can surprise us anymore but an American President welcoming a ruthless dictator and our enemy by rolling out the carpet and personally greeting him on the tarmac, now for Russia and China, that should not just me every GOP Senator throw up.

Phew. I thought for a moment the Trump curse was lifted, when Sarkasian took that unnecessary time out on the on site kick, but Trump’s losing streak is still intact.

So Trump spent a ton of our money on kissing up to our enemy who helps killing out soldiers in a war that is going nowhere to lower tariffs that he should not have put up in the first place and had no right to anyway. That about sums up the entire life of Trump: a useless, vain, costly leech.

You know what I find more depressing than Trump and all his criming, his treasoning, and his grifting. It is that the Democrats may win a mid-term election because Americans are fed up with high gas prices. That really, really depresses me.

With the obvious stupidity reigning everywhere around us already, I think AI does not really have to be developed that much more to send the entire species packing. We deliberately cook our planet, exhaust our resources, pollute everything, and fight each other over religion and money.

So we all get this straight. The Board of the John F Kennedy Center for the performing arts claims that unless Trump's name is etched in the center's front it cannot be salvaged. Why etched, one may wonder? Could it be because some petty toddler saw what happened to his previous vanity attempt.

JD tries so hard to be an obnoxious, fascist racist, but his heart, or whatever pumps his blood around, is not really in it. He desperately wants the Trump base to believe he is one of them and not an opportunistic Yale-educated intellectual weathervane seeing a one chance in a lifetime for glory.

Hello GOP senators and representatives Have you not had enough embarrassment? Your Dear Leader is driving up gas prices, starting unwinnable wars, and tweets an incredible amount of certifiable nonsense. Do you have any decency left? There must be a limit even to your humiliation.

One of the worst things Trump has done is the gelding of Congress, which is supposed to write the rules the president faithfully executes. Instead he does whatever he wants and Congress does not even wince. In turn the GOP has shown its true colors and they are racist, fascist, and ugly.

Trump Administration Launches Hunt For Noncitizen Voter Fraud Before Midterms (Gift Article)
Election fraud is exceedingly rare, but President Trump has fixated on rooting it out this year, claiming without evidence that tens of thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote.

The malignant narcissist with power is at his (almost always) most dangerous when he feels he has been humiliated horribly. Iran and the catering truck cowardice have deeply hurt him. He is outraged. His ego is wounded. He will try to hurt as many as he can. GOP, act now. This is your lunatic.

Trump is acting incredibly bold and criminal even for his low standards. What will it take before the GOP does anything? Nuking Iran? More deaths in ICE concentration camps? Gas going to $4.50?

Perhaps it would be a good idea that ads are run that tell Trump the number one issue for the next president will be to remove Trump's name from everything it was put on, to prosecute every criminal grifter who made money of him, and claw back every dime stolen from the people.
