America hates Donald Trump.

He is an abject failure in every conceivable dimension.

He is the worst President in our history.

Soon, the Trump name and the Trump family will be in the dustbin of history, reviled and ridiculed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@RobKeshav @gtconway3d But all the elections Trump wins are legit?

He's been doing this for years... Preemptively proclaiming fraud to lessen the blow of losing.

[Norm Cook 🌻@normcook.bsky.social @BeardsofBC]

Repeating ad nauseam: He's a destructive and violent man and will burn everything to the ground on his way out.

George is right.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Of course he did. Doesn't matter that the bill is bipartisan.

He doesn't give a shit about Americans; he only cares about staying out of jail.

And if that requires stealing an election or two and destroying American democracy, that's exactly what he's going to try to do.

@gtconway3d It's maddening watching an incompetent fraud and clown show run the country.

@FertileFitness @CanesDavid This would be a good time to adopt humility and learn first before displaying foolishness.

@Alan_Couzens Also motivated to keep moving and be (somewhat) strong in older yrs. Partially driven by fear of death ... but also feels good to be fit.

[Norm Cook 🌻@normcook.bsky.social @BeardsofBC]

@NucleusinSC @gtconway3d No

@stevemagness Thanks for reminder. I've had the "is this it?" feeling many times chasing fitness.

[Norm Cook 🌻@normcook.bsky.social @BeardsofBC]

@camille4242 @EricTopol I think poor diet and sleeping habits, plus lack of exercise, would offset lack of smoking and drinking.

My hunch is they're propping up a very sick man.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

At least 39 times in the last 65 days, the President of the United States has declared the United States and Iran were close to a deal only to have the Iranians openly mock him and deny it.
Yesterday, the President went on Fox & Friends in the morning to declare bombings would resume and be even more ferocious. By the afternoon, he declared bombings would cease because a deal was close. He claimed buy-in from the Egyptians, the Emirates, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, the Israelis, the Iranians, and more.
Egypt said it had no knowledge of any deal. Israel said it had no knowledge of a deal. Then FARS, the semi-official Iranian news agency that represents the voice of the Revolutionary Guard in Iran said there was no deal. Overnight, word came the Ayatollah refused a deal. Then the Iranians started firing drones at commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

The President, the other days, said Iran was playing us. The only one being played is President Trump. A state of war exists between Iran and its neighbors. The ceasefire is a farce. The President has turned into a clown.

If he can get away with lying, why stop?

[Jonathan Lemire @JonLemire]

President Trump, once again, does not follow through with a threatened attack on Iran and, once again, claims that a peace deal with Tehran is close

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why?

Rosie: He's not Canadian?

Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

[Norm Cook 🌻@normcook.bsky.social @BeardsofBC]

Yes

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

New rule; whenever Trump pardons a convicted drug dealer, Medicare scammer, or insider trader he should have to pay the DOJ back for all the money they wasted trying and convicting said criminals

@Alan_Couzens #4 - all other options would spike my cortisol and diminish the returns. 😅

[Norm Cook 🌻@normcook.bsky.social @BeardsofBC]

@Alan_Couzens Somehow 20 to 30 hours weekly seems better than 4 hours daily x 6 days per week. 🤔

[Norm Cook 🌻@normcook.bsky.social @BeardsofBC]

Maybe 30% of America - aka MAGA - love this stuff. But doesn't the other 70% want to hide in shame?

[David Yelland @davidyelland]

'Thank you Darling, I've had a good time...' Trump's last words, pretty much, as he quits the Meet the Press interview - I mean - where to start?
