Lover of many things-hubby, sons (one with autism), Jesus, Dallas Stars, Michael Bublé, good friends, good wine, traveling & deep laughs. Politically homeless.
Nichols: It’s almost like we have a relative in the room, and there’s something deeply wrong with him. And we’ve all agreed not to talk about it. But there is something deeply wrong with him.
His friends know it, his critics know it. His staff, I’m sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don’t take him seriously.
Nobody hangs on his words. They kind of do, but mostly out of freakish curiosity to see what kind of wild thing he’s going to say next, not because his words have any inherent meaning or reflect policy.
You know, I spent years teaching students that when the president speaks, it’s policy, and you must pay attention when the president speaks because nobody can contradict him.
Now, you know, are we really cutting off all trade with Spain? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. It might have just been a stray electron, you know, careening around inside his brainpan. Who knows?
But this is really dangerous because in the middle of all this stuff—and we can laugh about, you know, the Islamic Republic of Japan and all of that—but he made several statements about an ongoing war that the United States is losing. And no one’s even trying to pretend that they can make any sense of it.
And I’ll just add one last thing that you just brought up.
If this were any other president, this would be a national crisis. I mean, Joe Biden got somebody’s name wrong, and it was headlines. The president gets all kinds of things wrong, completely, you know, is out to lunch at an important NATO summit, and, you know, it’s Wednesday.
The Trumps aren’t just using their family name to make money.
Their companies have received almost a billion $$ in federal contracts – a shocking and unprecedented display of corruption.

Republican candidate Ken Paxton has likely committed voter fraud, after using a false address in 6 different elections.
Paxton is campaigning on ending "illegal voting."
2:00 PM: 🇺🇸 U.S. judge ordered the DOJ to unredact Jeffrey Epstein files which name alleged co-conspirators.
5:00 PM: 🇺🇸 Trump REJECTED Court order to hand over redacted Epstein files.
8:00 PM: 🇺🇸 Trump began bombing Iran. The war restarted.
You connect the dots.
Hear me out…
Since we’re having such a hard time finding male candidates without a history of abuse, sexual assault, or rape maybe it’s time we started electing more women.
James Talarico spent July 4th in Austin at a music festival with Willie Nelson. Ken Paxton spent it in London with his mistress. These two are not the same.
To all the people who blasted Zohran’s wife for teaching a yoga retreat in Mallorca during 4th of July:
Here is a video of the Texas AG in London during July 4th.
New: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” https://t.co/Abll3dfrMo
I wish MAGA had the same energy for holding Trump accountable as they do for Graham Platner. They only believe survivors when it benefits them.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
I think we moved on WAY too fast from Ken Paxton letting convicted child molester Adam Hoffman off with a ONE-DAY JAIL SENTENCE.
Hoffman, who admitted to sexually abusing a young boy for YEARS, didn’t even have to register as a sex offender.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
Trump didn’t invent America’s oldest prejudices. He legitimized and rewarded them. He transformed grievance into political identity and extremism into social permission. That’s his legacy. This photograph is evidence of it.

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens”, says the Lord in the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 11:25–30). Jesus takes upon himself humanity wounded by evil in order to heal and care for it.
