Every fucking Republican running for dog catcher up to US Senator should be asked on camera what their thoughts are on Trump's comments in Nebraska where he said an enemy destroying US cities is not a big fucking deal. A small price to pay!

A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

Phil Collins on Trump’s uniquely abrasive style: “His whole manner is unattractive. Historically, presidents have been eloquent and elegant. Even if you don’t agree with them, you still respect them. But when somebody like Trump is as nasty as he is, you end up feeling dislike for him.”

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

This kind of talk has always seemed to impress certain segments of the political class, but now that he’s imploding, they look like gullible suckers. He’s just a lout, nothing more. He insults people because he isn’t smart enough for anything else. He’ll become more loutish as he circles the drain.
