Retired and loving it. I think of my rhetorical style in a discussion with Trumpers as "a two-by-four to the forehead."

If Trump were to send us each $5,000, he wouldn't be "giving" us anything. He would be taking a cash advance against our national credit card. One way or another, we would have to pay it back.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. HAHAHAHAHAH. Eric Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of lying about going to an Atlanta Hawk's basketball game. Smith went to see the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Twenty-six articles of impeachment. And that’s only the beginning.

I remember when Jimmy Carter said he sometimes had lust in his heart and it was a big deal. Gentler times. Seems like centuries ago.

1,000 years from now, in a fourth-grade classroom: Teacher: Does anyone know who the worst US president was? Several hands shoot up. Teacher: Ruth? Ruth: Donald Trump! Teacher: Correct, easily the worst ever...

Asking if Trump is the worst president ever is like asking someone who was on the Titanic if it was their worst ocean voyage ever.

If you were asked to plan a 250th anniversary celebration, with an ample budget and plenty of experts to help, you could handle that, right? I could. I don't have those skills, but I would defer to people who did. It takes a special kind of incompetence to screw this up so badly.

Does the Trump administration really have a "theory of executive power," as I keep reading in articles, or do they just want to set aside the constitution while they have the presidency?

Trump screws up the reflecting pool. He lies, blaming imaginary sick radical leftist antifa vandals, the lies becoming more elaborate over time. To bolster his lies, he sends troops to arrest real, innocent people. He erects a fence to protect the pool from pretend vandals. This is our America.

Imagine a document that says, "I, the undersigned, give my full and complete support to Donald Trump's Jan 6, 2021, effort to overthrow the legitimate government of the United States." Now imagine every Republican in Washington and every MAGA supporter nationwide signed it. That's where we are.

Republican voters believe things that aren’t true. That’s a problem for the GOP.
The party can’t make good arguments or put forward solutions unless it’s grounded in reality.

Saying Trump is the worst president ever is like saying Hitler was Germany's worst chancellor. OK, yes, but he's so far beyond just the worst.

If you don't approve of Donald Trump, you also do not approve of any Republican representative or senator. Those people have bent over backward to make sure that Trump can get away with anything he wants to do, legal or illegal. They all have to go.

From now on, should presidential candidates tell us how they plan to redecorate DC? Should they give us a cost estimate? Should we ask which buildings they want to rename, what monuments they want built, what documents they are going to put their pictures on? Is that part of the job now?

When I said that no one could be stupid enough to honestly believe that 8647 was a physical threat to the president, I may have been overestimating the intelligence of one individual. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Trump rails against ‘dirty cop’ James Comey over 8647 post: ‘It’s a mob term’
President Donald Trump says ex-FBI director ‘probably’ intended to stoke political violence with his seashell Instagram post last May, accusing him of creating ‘tremendous danger’

Not one prominent Republican actually believes that a gunman at an offsite venue somehow justifies a ballroom. No one could be that stupid. But they all say it. No one believes that "8647" was meant as a physical threat. No one is that stupid. They're all such shameless liars.

Democrats should suggest that maybe it's Trump's own overheated, violent rhetoric that incites mentally disturbed people to want to hurt him, and not anything Democrats said. That's probably closer to the truth.

Dennis Stambaugh @theotherwashington.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
The president was at a venue away from the White House, and a gunman showed up hoping to kill people (and failed.) Therefore... We need a new ballroom? Who thinks that makes any sense? And yet, apparently every prominent Republican sees it as an unquestionable conclusion. They're all crazy.

With this administration, you have to wonder, when deployed soldiers have to ration food and supplies and their families try to send care packages to make up for shortages, is it because that's what happens in war, or is it because we now have a spectacularly unqualified person leading the military?

Dennis Stambaugh @theotherwashington.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Whenever the government wants a big increase in military spending, or supplemental spending for some "excursion," they should raise taxes at the same time enough to pay for it. $200 billion to fight Iran? Half a trillion more for next year? Let the people know what their share of the cost is.

I don’t know how bad Trump’s dementia might be, or if the crazy if from uncontrolled diabetes, or a bizarre drug cocktail trying to keep him in power for a little bit more. I do know that Trump disconnects from reality regularly, and has for a while. ART 45 now.

Republicans can never again be considered a legitimate option to lead because they have fully embraced the idea that they should use the government for the benefit of their supporters and to the detriment of their detractors. We can never accept a party that does not work for all of us.

"Big money will be made," Trump tells us, as a result of the agreement he hopes for in the Middle East. I'm not sure that's the message we wanted to hear as we take a small step back from the brink of Armageddon.

This is the superpower that keeps the Republican party together: the ability to hold two completely opposite, thoroughly incompatible views at the same time, depending on what the Party tells them. It's childish, not how normal adults think, but they have mastered it.
