The Trump regime wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court because it plans to continue committing war crimes. The Trump regime is refusing to allow international election monitors because it plans to continue committing election fraud. They are not being subtle.

This is why “Pro-Life” activists are forced to rely on vague bits of scripture to justify why the Bible condemns abortion. A popular one is “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Yeah, He knew all those people in the womb that He drowned too.

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

As proof of his genius, he offers a story in which he realized that if they added 1 to 1775 it would give them the number 1776. No, I'm being completely serious. And his mouthbreathing crowd applauds that basic math like the man split the atom.

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.
