Also, like being ratioed, we don’t talk about it because it’s so bleepin’ obvious how insecure, and petty, and vindictive, and deeply, deeply weird all these impostures and frauds are. And, we don’t talk about how this their version of fake it until you make it

What I find striking about every one of these “politics are too hostile” takes, is that the emphasis is always on the people with higher standards to lower them to allow violence at the table. How come Cox isn’t telling the right to love their neighbor? Instead it’s come to the table with Trump.

Bruni in NYT on Trump and AI: Gov’t will have to get involved, and right now that’s petrifying. We have in the Trump admin not only a paragon of rank incompetence but also proof that US voters can support — serially — such madness. So moving past Trump is not the same thing as moving into the clear

This is the theory that Trump will hurt the US if it rejects him coming true

Looked like she totally knew it was coming and also knew in realtime what a disaster getting it wrong was going to be. Schmitt being a complete AH in the face of his own Trumpian incompetence, thanks Tom Friedman, likely was part of it, too

“Trump’s unrestrained ignorance” is a phrase that should be used more and kudos to Friedman for coining it

Thomas Freeman in NYT today: I wish that the only threat to us from Trump’s unrestrained ignorance were an A.I. virus.

He is absolutely correct.

This is true. I can’t believe I’ve never connected those particular dots before.

It would help if he could talk in a way where his words meant something

This was always going to be a problem. Most sane Rs had to know it was going to be a problem (see 2015 comments from Lindsey, JD, etc) but supported him anyway because the US becoming a punchline was far less important to them than staying in the good graces of their fellow buffoons

Perfect! Don’t provide video or audio of him and every outlet should start investigating and reporting non-stop on administration corruption and excesses

Trump took office at a great time to be president. The US economy was the envy of the world, no wars other ones he would end in a day, etc. And in two years he’s made us a punchline while also exposing many of his followers’ lack of principles

Talarico on Jimmy Kimmel Show - finally a Christian politician stands up for Christianity! “I often wonder, what would Jesus do if he visited the U.S. Senate? I think he would tell the senators on the floor, ‘Depart from me’ for I was hungry and you cut my food assistance.

“. . . who gets a statue or monument is always a symbolic struggle for power.” Well, ain’t that the truth

WFU88 @wfu88.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
But all my MAGA friends tell me that Trump is STRONG and that the world is burning because Biden . . . which is who a STRONG party would blame

Seriously, calling the Iran war an epic success seems like the absolute worst thing a Republican office holder could say right now

I can’t tell you how many white Rs people have told me how black people should vote and how black folks are making a mistake not voting for the party/candidate the white people prefer. Also, white Christians aren’t about identity politics at all

Agreed

WFU88 @wfu88.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
My MAGA friends were well aware of how good the US economy was compared to the rest of the world, they voted for Trump anyway because he would make it even better

The US is SO respected again! The world would be laughing at a D president right now - too weak to go to war with Iran, to weak to be massively corrupt, and too weak to tear down part of the White House to turn it into a discotheque

Very good article, including on the mental health issues I just posted: Trump Has Lost Contact With Reality www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/o...

Opinion | Trump Has Lost Contact With Reality (Gift Article)
The president’s distortions have an impact on much more than belief in his claims about what he was doing on Sept. 11.

Tom Edsall in the NYT today shares an entry from the April 30 Congressional Record by 36 medical specialists questioning Trump’s mental fitness for office (gift link at end of thread): “We are compelled to warn of a president of the United States who is increasingly a danger to the public.”

It was obvious with Trump’s first victory that racism was more prevalent, but underground, than we thought. I don’t think it was so apparent how scared so many Americans are that they (and the country more generally) can no longer successfully compete against people from other cultures

It's a basic thing that no one even bothers to talk about anymore. But he's simply never understood what trade deficits are. Never. When you are getting net investment into your country, you have a trade deficit. But that's good! Trade deficits and surpluses are not inherently good or bad.

Keep saying, Trump may well be just amazingly stupid and not a foreign agent, but how can you tell? What would a foreign agent do differently?

Or, if he can’t, the press should be covering his mental decline much, much more closely

This is an excellent article. Highly recommend.
