@Acyn I just don't understand how the press can cover trump this way, with all the lies, corruption, crazy stuff, the stuff he forgets, what he gets flat out wrong. Where is the press? How can he keep doing this and nobody in the press raises a peep about what he is saying. It's nuts!
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.
Hey Republicans: We found that VOTER FRAUD y'all have been obsessing over.
But it wasn't an undocumented immigrant.
It was former Texas AG Ken Paxton.
So, you'll be holding him accountable, right?🙄
Two GOP women - a Trump spokeswoman & daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno - have accused Rep. Max Miller of domestic violence. Has any Republican politician or Twitter pundit called for him to drop out of his race? Please reply so I can see all the receipts thanks.
Casually back to war with Iran
Casually back to violent confrontations with ICE
Casually back to sporadic trade war policy (Spain)
Casually back to demanding Greenland.
And soon to be casually back to litigating the Epstein files (Blanche hearing)
Once you accept that Donald Trump is simply a mobster who does not care about any social issues, any geopolitical issues, any economic issues, etc., and that his sole, reptilian purpose is to enrich himself by any means, legal or not, it all makes sense.
Part of what is breaking this country in two is the fact that at least 30% of the country does not get actual, factual news. The people attacking me for stating the FACT that Trump was adjudicated of rape in a federal court in NY. And he owes EJ Carroll millions. Is mind boggling!

Graham Platner was accused of rape and every Democrat tossed him overboard.
Donald Trump was accused of rape multiple times and sexual assault and harassment many more times. Also the whole matter of trying to overturn an election.
Republicans nominated him a second time.
I JOIN DONALD TRUMP IN CONDEMNING THE FOLLOWING NATIONS: THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF JAPAN, THE JAPANESE REPUBLIC OF ISLAM, THE UNITED FEDERATION OF NARNIA, THE REFLECTING POOL NATION OF ALGAE-RIA, AND THE DONALD TRUMP REPUBLIC OF DUMBODIA & TACOSTAN.
@LuckyMcGee@GovTimWalz I have no idea why tim waltz did that, but if we want to go down that road, as already been said J6s have been arrested for similar crimes. Not to mention what Trump himself may have done.
President Donald Trump, in a speech yesterday, referred to Democrats as communists and called on "patriots" to eradicate them. The term eradicate means to completely destroy, eliminate, or get rid of something. This statement appears more severe than his January 6th attempt to overthrow the government. He made this statement to celebrate July 4th, our country's 250th birthday, by calling on his supporters to destroy his opposing party.
Trump could talk about the things he’s done to improve the lives of most Americans for the midterms, but he doesn’t have any of those things.
So instead he is going to sell voters that Democrats are communists who are going to steal everything you have because they hate America.
I assume that the Fox hosts who said that Mamdani’s speech was “too negative” for Independence Day will feel the same when Trump rants about Democrats being communists who hate America and God.
