#BREAKING: Lawrence: “What an abject ignoramus. That is so painful. Donald Trump obviously has NO IDEA how many Americans were killed in the war in Vietnam that he managed to avoid by getting a doctor’s letter saying that the feet that he spent the rest of his life playing golf on, just weren’t capable of
ever wearing combat boots. Donald Trump thinks hundreds of thousands of Americans were killed in Vietnam…We…lost 58,220 Americans who were killed in Vietnam…”😳
Saying you have a mountain of evidence and not being able to show a single piece of it is the equivalent of saying you are packing when you’ve got a mushroom in your pants. MAGA will believe anything he says because it’s a cult.
C’mon @Giants,does our still unproven new quarterback really have to throw in his lot with a guy who says he’s glad Rob Reiner is dead, pays off porn stars, brags about assualting women, covers up his pedophelia, starts an insurrection, pandemic, $5 gas, pope hating dictator guy?
Here's how the corruption works:
Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump
Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it
Friday: FDA changes the policy

Mike Johnson wants people struggling with soaring gas prices, rent, and grocery bills to feel bad for members of Congress making “only” $174K a year, getting great healthcare, and taking months of vacation every year, and he’s using that to justify trading stocks while in office.
Totally out of touch
I'm not letting go of this.
Neither should you.
It is by far the most blatant, in your face "fuck you" to Americans that any President ever did since trump said he wouldn't take responsibility.
He should have to resign.
Anyone else would.
What Donald Trump sold since running for president: Trading cards, coins, pieces of his suit, Bibles, shoes, fragrance, watches, crypto, non-existent phones.
What all the other presidents sold, combined: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Trump and Hegseth’s outrageous attacks on Senator Mark Kelly are a direct attack on free speech and the rights of 2M military retirees.
If they can do it to Kelly, they can do it anyone. And it cannot be tolerated.
I’ll have more tonight on CNN with Laura Coates at 11PM. And daily on Independent Americans.
If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.
*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
TRUMP TO SCHOOL KIDS: “Iran was two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon and killing you.”
ENOUGH. It’s one thing to watch him lie to the American people but lying to and propagandizing kids on national television is TOO FAR.
