Factio Republicana delenda est. As Cato the Elder so very aptly & presciently put it over 2175 years ago, the Republican Party must be destroyed. In point of fact, it is long past time to burn the Republican Party to the ground.

From the beginning of the war in Iran, I've warned one reason that Trump wants such a war is to provoke a terrorist attack at home. History is full of leaders - from Putin in Russia to Orban in Hungary - who have used foreign wars and real or manufactured threats to expand their authority.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

Judging from his social media, Trump is certifiably insane. Batshit insane, minimally.

That simply shouldn’t be permitted. Moreover, and as an almost entirely separate issue, we need to take Elon Musk‘s money and power, and banish him. No offense.

For all that it matters, Trump might as well have been referring to the notoriously fraudulent election on the planet Xylon. Same difference.

In my opinion, more people should consider telling Trump to just go fuck himself. There’s not a day that that man acts in good faith. Pretending otherwise just makes every pretender look like a damn fool. No offense.

I don’t remember when exactly I first said this, but I do know that then as now it was absolutely true. “Othering” their enemies is their oxygen, their reason for being, their very essence. As Stuart Stevens puts it, and he is in the best position of any of us to know, “these are not good people.”

Thank God & Trump that we have RFK Jr atop our US medical system to protect us. In the words of some asshat former US Senator from Texas, “[what I just said from the podium in the US Senate] was not intended as a factual statement.” [FYI, referencing some lie just spoken about Planned Parenthood]

I already know that. What I want to know is why everyone else doesn’t know that, especially inasmuch as as it’s so incredibly obvious. Sadly, that Trump is an inveterate, remorseless, unapologetic congenital liar does not make the top 10 of his most despicable & irredeemable personality traits.

Yes, I see the problem. And it’s a pretty big freaking problem. What I don’t see is anyone proposing a solution to that problem. Let me propose one: let’s take away their money & power, for “our” own good, meaning the Public Good. If you think that’s too radical, you tell me: what’s your solution?

I am hesitant, & for good reason, to answer that question on behalf of the American people. What I will say is that one shouldn’t get too hung up on whether (or not) that bribe might be worth it, because the Treasonous Orange Dotard has absolutely no intent to ever pay up on that bribe in any event

That I could live with. I hope that’s not being hypocritical, but even if it is, I could still live with it. Truth be told, I could even see myself celebrating it. Some sacrifices are worth it for the greater good to society is a whole. Here it wld also be worth it for entertainment value alone.

Was he prescient, or was this just a lucky guess which he believed for some misguided reason didn’t apply to him? By actual measure, conservatives’ capacity for human empathy on matters that don’t directly affect them personally is a large negative number. So large & negative as to be incalculable

I’m guessing that more likely than not, the one who’s telling the truth is NOT the one whose reputation for truth and veracity is that of an unrepentant, remorseless, compulsive, ostentatious liar & convicted criminal fraudster, a/k/a Donald J Trump.

No, court reform, including packing the court, is a concerted effort to undo & then correct all the harm that that POS fascist, “Justice“ (and insurrectionist) Sammy Alito, has inflicted on innocent American citizens in lawlessly advancing in bad faith his corrupt, partisan, racist, fascist agenda.

Trump’s a pathological, compulsive, unrepentant, ostentatious, proliferate, remorseless liar at that. But in his defense of sorts, he has literally dozens of personality traits which are even more wretched, reprehensible & disgusting than that, somehow. That’s stunningly amazing, but altogether true

Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that Howard Lutnick lied to the American people when he flatly stated that he & his wife cutoff all ties with Jeffrey Epstein by 2008, notwithstanding the fact that he & Jeff continued as business partners throughout the next 10 yr after that? How Republican of him!

There could not possibly be any other reason for why the Republicans wish to threaten the international criminal court. Those threats are quintessentially Republican, and quintessentially admissions of war crimes by Republicans. All this should be viewed through that prism.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

If facts, data and evidence conflict with the prearranged narrative of the rightwing legacy media, it is the responsibility of gov-controlled journalism to sweep under the rug any & all conflicting facts, data and evidence. Only then is a society fully informed of what its leaders choose to disclose

Yup. You got it. Justice, like God, works in mysterious ways. Particularly when we have a pedophile for a President and his sycophants atop DOJ. And the word mysterious is doing a lot of of the work here to make this sentence make sense.

As long as he apologizes, confesses all & gives back to the USA all the $ that he has accumulated over the past 11 years, I am willing to see him not spend the rest of his life behind bars. This offer is only good until election day. And is void if he had any pre-knowledge of the Khashoggi murder
