. . . WHAT FRESH HELL . . . ? I think it's the bench garden furniture from my grandmother's garden from 1982 masquerading as car seats that's causing the reaction. The rest of it is fine. I think.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

I wouldn't *dare* make any prediction on 2028 voter mood, much less Democratic Party chances in '28 for either the Presidency or even control of Congress. Assuming the chaos idiot keeps doing what he's doing, but even more on meth and coke, is a good bet -- but he's a **chaos idiot**.

you have the freedom not to love this country too. because a state is incapable in of feeling or returning love. your feelings otherwise are irrational. I appreciate and am grateful I was born in a safe, stable and affluent country. I don't love the USA. It certainly does not love me back.

We're talking about in raw popular totals. I don't remember the Reagan years, much less the Nixon years, with any great clarity. Reagan infuriated a lot of people, but there wasn't nearly as much boiling anger, or so it feels. Nixon, well, he also pissed off a lot of people with all his criming . .

I remember Iraq and how the GWB administration 'planned' the reconstruction of the country, essentially telling Free Enterprise to do it for them off the public dollar. The Orange regime isn't putting even that much effort into it. They don't *do* planning.
