If the news media spent 1/100 of the time scrutinizing the demented and cretinous Orange beach ball as they did with Biden maybe there would be some level of accountability for his horrendous actions. The whole thing is just a massive shit show and it’s exhausting a, damaging and dangerous
The press is a hollow shell of celebrity and clicks. The left is ignorant for putting all responsibility on Biden as if he had any control over what the press chooses to cover. Doing the GOP's work again. Ignoring the massive disinformation infrastructure and blaming Biden makes me suspicious that the right is playing us and arming the circular firing squad the left is famous for
Is there anything to the memo going around that Trump is taking revenge on Harvard because they didn't offer admission to his son Barron but did over admission to Malia Obama?
The orange fruitcake can't solve a real problem so he creates problems, issues he can bully....like Harvard, Trans people, Immigrants, etc. He works for Putin, and Putin is smarter than the orange sleaze bag. No tariffs on Russia either. Each day is an eternity while the felon is in office.
He can't solve problems, but he continues to enrich his CRIMINAL family by making tariffs so the stock market craters and they purchase low. Then he pauses the tariffs and the market goes back up and they sell at a handsome profit. Unbelievable scammer.
He's making money and that was his objective in running for office. Anyone going to investigate this conman for manipulating the market with his on/off tariffs?
He is completely in Putin's pocket, his bitch, if you will. And he's playing with World War III, the Repugs better wake up and stop their capitulation!
Maybe if Trump figures out that Putin is smarter than him, he will turn against him. He has always seems to have a hate-on for intelligent people, hence his attack on Harvard.
As I see it, we need people willing to put themselves in the line, physically. And before you get the wrong ideas, I mean stronger kinds of civil disobedience. 1000 United States versions of the Tianamen Square guy standing in front of the moving tank. 1000 versions of priests trespassing on nuclear missile sites. I know this is idealistic and without details. I don’t have a plan. Other than, people need to train 1000s of people in *basic* civil disobedience procedures. And support systems for them (this may be more unrealistic but necessary than anything I’ve said): have lawyers ready and on call and mental health and family support systems lined up. Make “Resist!” Real.
It's so disgusting reading these articles about our dumb ass in chief. Do the GOP and their voters not understand what is going on? Are they ok having a fucking dotard in charge of our government, as long he's on the same team?
He gives me high blood pressure because I'm so sick of reading about his lies day after day, and to his voters (and my siblings) he's applauded for doing all this cruel shit! If I didn't have a great cat sitting on my lap right now I'd probably blow a gasket!
Few words capture Donald Trump quite like feckless. Behind the bluster and bravado is a man wholly unfit for leadership—an attention addict who shirks responsibility, evades accountability, and governs with the discipline of a toddler mid-meltdown. His decisions are driven not by principle, but by impulse, grievance, and the promise of applause. He talks like a strongman, but history will remember him as a weak man playing dress-up.
Nowhere is Trump’s fecklessness more grotesquely apparent than in his decade-long submission to Vladimir Putin. This week, after Russia launched its deadliest aerial assault on Ukraine since the war began—leaving dozens dead—Trump responded with a limp, self-serving post claiming Putin was “playing with fire” and that “really bad things” would’ve happened to Russia without him. No sanctions. No support for Ukraine. Just hollow chest-thumping, followed by total inaction. Putin bombed civilians; Trump posted nonsense.
But this isn’t new—it’s his original sin. Trump owes his rise, in part, to Putin’s 2016 election sabotage—an act of foreign interference that Trump amplified by parroting Kremlin propaganda. A hostile autocrat helped install a man so vain, so malleable, so staggeringly ignorant, he could be played like a balalaika. For years, Trump has fawned over Putin, even as Russian forces kidnapped children, bombed hospitals, and executed civilians. His admiration has never been for democracy or decency—but for unchallenged power, no matter how brutal.
There is no ideology here. No strategy. Just one man’s bottomless narcissism—desperate for validation, incapable of courage, and loyal only to those who flatter him.
Real presidents confront tyrants.
Trump curtsies.
A real leader defends freedom.
A feckless one folds.

Apparently not, bc the wealthy part of his cult are joining in. You said it, each day with this FIC is a torturous eternity.

Like he'd ever agree that someone in this world is smarter than him. Please...
But he thinks Vlad is his pal. Unfortunately, "Vlad" is playing him, and the orange egomaniac is too dumb to notice.
How do we stop this?,not with diplomacy. We have to stop handing the country over! The old rules no longer apply.

The republican party was about $$$.
The trump party is about POWER, because the $$$$$ is just behind.
