While speaking at the White House, Trump continued to push his fantasy that he is eliminating crime, criticizing Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and telling him to spend more time in the gym.
At which point we get J.D. Vance, who DOESN'T have Alzheimers and would be able to run for a second term.
The only reason forcing Nixon out of office worked is that first we got rid of Spiro Agnew, forcing Nixon to nominate a new V.P., who had to be approved by congress. This effectively gave Democratic congress members veto power, so we ended up with Ford instead of someone resembling a rabid dog.
Vance has no following. He cant run his family let alone a country. Everywhere he goes he is made fun of. Even in Europe! Who is going to vote for that couch potato?
The only reason Trump is getting away with destroying this country is because all the politicians are scared of him. He can and will destroy them if they don't kiss his a--- daily. I don't think Vance has that power.
Operative word: "think." Do you want to bet the country on this perception?
MAGA shows all signs of being a cult. These are not rational people, but they're Trump's base. The way Trump threatens GOP lawmakers is by saying he'll support someone else to primary them, and the threat works because his base will do whatever they're told to do. So it pretty much depends on which way the base jumps, and the base isn't rational.
I was going to be annoyed at you for leading with "morbidly obese" about Trump -- not that I don't HATE him, but because there's so much else to attack him on other than the fact that he's fat. BUT then I read your article! Yes! STFU, Trump. You live in a glass house. You don't get to throw rocks. Also, as an Illinois resident, I'm grateful every day for J. B. Pritzker.
Thanks, Miranda, for not being annoyed. I never want to weaponize or criticize anyone's appearance, but for this guy who holds those beliefs to criticize anyone on that issue is absurd and the height of delusional arrogance.---Jason
My ex-husband, who makes tRUMP look anorexic, used to say shit about what and how much I ate daily. It’s a tactic to humiliate and there is a reason we aren’t married anymore. Calling out tRUMP by mentioning that he is morbidly obese is not a low blow. It’s pointing yet another insipid his hypocrisy and/or narco.
I am sorry that anyone ever talked to you that way, Kate. As a man, I also feel that I can say pure misogyny, in that men can be very heavy, but women are expected to be thin. It is BS, but all over our culture.---Jason
Thank you. I see that kind of attitude towards others in my ex and Dear Leader. Anyone else is less than. I just didn’t think that you should be called out for saying he is morbidly obese when that is actually very critical to understanding who he is and what he says/does.
This is absolutely true. During his first term, while meeting with other world leaders, it was decided to take a group picture outside in a picturesque site on the corner. Everyone walked to the corner, including the women in heels and then they had to stand there forever while a golf cart was found for Trump. He finally rolled up, bulled his way to the front of the group, with his chin stuck up in the air arrogantly and acted like he was an emperor. On the golf course, he actually drives his golf cart onto the green, which is a big no-no. On the other hand, I've seen him walk across the south lawn to the helicopter, just like every other president. I guess the golf cart depends on if he wants to look presidential or like an emperor.
Trump gets more unhinged daily. Last night, he called for eliminating ABC, NBC and CBS because he doesn't like the polls they are reporting. It is time to use the 25th Amendment to end this Fascist Trump administration.
Governor Pritzker is one of our nations best governors. I consider him to be a national treasure. Perhaps the governor might consider activating the Illinois National Guard to protect Illinois from an impending illegal military invasion by Trump. I have no idea if it would work but it would certainly bring forth some interesting legal questions.
Well, honestly Pritzger may be fat. But Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist. And Pritzger can always go on a diet. Malignant narcissism is an organic mental illness for which there is no cure.
So true... so when drumpf says he'd like to go to heaven and the evangelicals and the catholics jump on that as a sign that he is willing to change, I just shake my head at the mush brains of these people who will fall for a typical narcissistic ploy - tell them what you want them to hear and watch them fawn all over you... These people actually believe that a 79-year old narcissist is redeemable - he's not... walk away! Take your energy away from him and deny him the attention.
The fact that ANYONE thought he was redeemable at ANY point of his reign of terror on our country (and in the world) speaks to how utterly devoid so many people of emotional intelligence and common sense. He was ALWAYS been a piece of shit. That is ALL he has ever been good at.
Trump shows signs of congestive heart failure. The medication for that disease will eventually cause kidney damage. His circulation problems means oxygen rich blood is not reaching his brain or other organs. I am not a physician but my mom had congestive heart failure .
trump** is lying again. The worst crime statistics are in red cities and red states, but that would be counter to his message, if he even knows that. He's living in a fantasy, and he wants to drag the rest of us into it. Policies based on fantasy never work out.
Deploying the National Guard to DC is not only killing the local economy, according to real reporting, not fantasy, they are not being deployed to the parts of the city (e.g., SE) where it might just possibly make a difference. That's too far off the tourist path to be seen, and the guardsmen might be in actual danger if they went there. It's counter to his narrative, again.
As for the water, I live in California. The water he keeps bragging about "sending" to LA never got there. It can't. There's no route to send it. So he ordered part of our precious water that we store in the winter for use in the summer, to be thrown away for his fantasy, and so he could brag about it — brag about doing something stupid.
We need that water in the summer to serve our cities and irrigate our crops. But he's deported or frightened away so many of our farm workers that we don't have any crops to harvest anyway.
Make trump** go away so we can get along with living life safely and sanely again.
He has gathered around him a staggering number of psychopaths and malignant narcissists. They will inflict as much damage as they can as they pray to him as a martyr.
I'm not sure of that. I'm expecting a bloodbath in the GOP once he is gone. There is no clear successor; autocrats typically do not designate a successor. If what we read about Republicans saying in private things they are afraid to say publicly because of him, once he's gone, those voices may become louder.
Look at the number of people who wanted to run for president until he crowded them all out. Many of them will want to be the next leader. I see a no-holds-barred battle to achieve that position. Bloodbath!
I don't know if you are aware, but a couple of years ago, Trump formally took control of the RNC. He isn't just the president. He literally controls the party, and it is not like other presidents who get their choice of party chairs, and then the chair goes when they go, Trump has literally taken over the whole party to the degree that he will decide if the Republicans hold a primary in 2028 and when it will start. As Reince Priebus said on ABC, the GOP primary won't start until Trump tells them to.---Jason
I don't think he'll last that long. Either he'll be dead from whatever ails him now, or he'll be so far gone in dementia even the most ardent supporter will be able to see it.
And no, I was not aware of his complete takeover, or what that meant. If they don't have primaries in 2028, I can't imagine that will sit well anywhere in that cult.
The man is so bone fucking stupid that he thinks water automatically flows from north to south, and releasing billions of gallons of reserve water into the Central Valley is going magically end up on LA. And he claims to have a 170 IQ! Maybe if he moved the decimal place one position to the left he'd be more accurate.
He really said he has an IQ of 170? Einstein was estimated to have an IQ of 160. Only .000152 of Americans have an IQ of 170 or higher. I suppose he fools his cult with his outrageous claims. I fear most of them have IQs far from triple digits and zero common sense.
I don't even know what to say. Every day I read the news and think 'unbelievable'. There has to be another word. I mean one with more than 4 letters that I could say out loud.
It's also COMPLETELY INSANE that he thinks nobody "allowed" water to flow from the PNW to California in order to fight the LA Fires. He clearly does not understand how geography even works! And there is NO WAY you can fight a massive fire storm pushed by 100mph winds even if you had all the water in the world because the ONLY way to fight those kinds of fires is with air assets which were GROUNDED due to the hurricane force winds.
The guy is a fucking IMBECILE who thinks he somehow "saved" LA with his thousand soldiers even though they were only clustered around a few key buildings. Trump did not "save" LA because LA DID NOT NEED SAVING IN THE FIRST PLACE.
We give the microphone to the most ridiculous moron on the planet and then amplify it all over the place. Why is that? Do we like to read BS and nonsense? Because that is all that comes out of drumpf's face. Mostly I don't read it and I have stopped reading some people who claim to be journalists and authors and editors who write their content on topics for clicks and likes.
We need to be paying attention to things like Kilmar Abrego Garcia who is still out there taking the brunt of all the force to try to get around due process and if he loses, who will be next? Michael Popok has been on top of this.
National Guard troops, now armed, being sent to our cities and wandering around intimidating American Citizens - these people are our neighbors, our friends. Why are they doing this to our neighbors and friends? Is Chicago or Baltimore going to be able to stop this nonsense? How about Philadelphia?
The Epstein Files - we need to keep that alive and get the truth out. The U.S. government using grants as extortion to buy into private companies to set up a sovereign wealth fund that only drumpf could control. Watching and reporting on the annoying gnats that are MAGAs and all their falling apart or whatever over stupidity is not where our focus should be. We also need to steer away from writers and content creators whose sole message is to get us all to run around scared out of our minds hopeless and with our hair on fire.
Staying calm, staying together, stay engaged, staying informed and taking action is the way we advance our battle lines. Continuing to fight is our biggest hope for winning - we need 50 million people, not 2 million. We get ignored because 2 million people is not enough of a force to be reckoned with. 5 million people are not enough to cause much of a stir. We need 50 million, a 100 million, 150 million. How do we get there? I wish I had the answer - but I know we are all smart people and we can come up with the answer - more coverage that will call to all Americans who still want to live in a free country…
Actually, I did accidently set my hair on fire while lighting a candle during a power outage. Believe me, my fear at the time was nothing compared to the fear I have in Trump world. I am terrified for my country and what it will be for my grandchildren.
I feel it with you. I'm so thankful that I have only one grandson, and no granddaughters. Women should truly stop having children at this point. They're only creating victims for maga. Especially girls.
Trump is a lunatic. Time to slap #25 on his ass and get him out of our whitehouse. And he can take that gaudy gold crap with him.
At which point we get J.D. Vance, who DOESN'T have Alzheimers and would be able to run for a second term.
The only reason forcing Nixon out of office worked is that first we got rid of Spiro Agnew, forcing Nixon to nominate a new V.P., who had to be approved by congress. This effectively gave Democratic congress members veto power, so we ended up with Ford instead of someone resembling a rabid dog.
Vance has no following. He cant run his family let alone a country. Everywhere he goes he is made fun of. Even in Europe! Who is going to vote for that couch potato?
Trump is openly laughed at in other countries, as well. So who voted for THAT couch potato?
The only reason Trump is getting away with destroying this country is because all the politicians are scared of him. He can and will destroy them if they don't kiss his a--- daily. I don't think Vance has that power.
Operative word: "think." Do you want to bet the country on this perception?

Yep....probably why he turned down Gov. Moore's invitation to walk streets in Maryland...Trump wouldn't last a half block.
This is absolutely true. During his first term, while meeting with other world leaders, it was decided to take a group picture outside in a picturesque site on the corner. Everyone walked to the corner, including the women in heels and then they had to stand there forever while a golf cart was found for Trump.

As an Illinois state pension recipient, I’m thankful every day JB is running the show and not another “let’s declare a pension holiday” Republican.
Mr Trump , you have always been a fat ass until now. You are dying and that is a fact.
Remove him and release the Epstein files!
Make that the unredacted Epstein Files. Not the ones that blacks out Trump's name and his activities and those of all his buddies.
The names of the victims need to be redacted.
NO NO and NO
Why shouldn’t the world know the names of these two assholes? Are you related?
Yes!
Grand jury testimony must also be redacted. Grand jury proceedings are sealed for good reasons. At least one court has already ruled on this.
Trump gets more unhinged daily. Last night, he called for eliminating ABC, NBC and CBS because he doesn't like the polls they are reporting. It is time to use the 25th Amendment to end this Fascist Trump administration.
I'll drink to that. Time for the dead weight in the House and Senate start looking at 25th Amend. and earn their paychecks.
Governor Pritzker is one of our nations best governors. I consider him to be a national treasure. Perhaps the governor might consider activating the Illinois National Guard to protect Illinois from an impending illegal military invasion by Trump.

The only reason Trump has lost weight is because he is dying!
I think he's on Ozempic or one of the weight loss shots. He has never lost weight until they went on the market.
Trump shows signs of congestive heart failure. The medication for that disease will eventually cause kidney damage. His circulation problems means oxygen rich blood is not reaching his brain or other organs. I am not a physician but my mom had congestive heart failure .
Trump is just such a petulant weenie. Just a waste of molecular material.
Hark who is calling the kettle black. When have you ever walked to your next hole shitzinpants
And Lard Ass has any room to talk??
The spray tan fat boy should look in the mirror.
He’s disgusting and I’m being polite and restrained. 🤬🤬🤬🖕
I admire your restraint--seriously. If I got started on what he is, I would need an entire page.
trump** is lying again. The worst crime statistics are in red cities and red states, but that would be counter to his message, if he even knows that. He's living in a fantasy, and he wants to drag the rest of us into it. Policies based on fantasy never work out.

We need that water in the summer to serve our cities and irrigate our crops. But he's deported or frightened away so many of our farm workers that we don't have any crops to harvest anyway.
Make trump** go away so we can get along with living life safely and sanely again.
The problem is that the whole Republican Party is this way now. It's not going to change after he is gone.---Jason
He has gathered around him a staggering number of psychopaths and malignant narcissists. They will inflict as much damage as they can as they pray to him as a martyr.
I'm not sure of that. I'm expecting a bloodbath in the GOP once he is gone. There is no clear successor; autocrats typically do not designate a successor.

Yes he really said that last week.
I don't even know what to say. Every day I read the news and think 'unbelievable'. There has to be another word. I mean one with more than 4 letters that I could say out loud.
The most unbelievable part of it all is how the media just continues to treat him like a normal President.
Deflection and projection are his superpowers
And shamelessness.
It's also COMPLETELY INSANE that he thinks nobody "allowed" water to flow from the PNW to California in order to fight the LA Fires. He clearly does not understand how geography even works!

I agree with everybody on this thread
