From Gaza to Ukraine to Epstein’s files, real leaders called for accountability at the UN while Trump complained about flooring and tried to muzzle late-night comedians.
great column... it is an interesting sidelight in all this chaos. trump has made strange bedfellows of us. never thought that i would be siding with Liz Cheney or worse, her dad, but they stood up for the country and the constitution. a handful of other republicans in the true sense of the party blew up their own careers because they had the morals and the fortitude to stand up to trump. even on rare occasion Rand Paul and ... dare i say?... Ted Cruz. i suspect that many in the trump fascist party realize that they have created a monster and gone too far, but do not have the courage to speak up. while all that is positive, it is still stunning how many are believing that tariffs will help them, that 300 million Americans died from drug overdoses, that vaccines are bad, that doge eliminated trillions in waste, that coal is better than solar or wind energy... that somehow, alienating the rest of the world economically will make us economically stronger and bring mfg back into this country..... i have heard many in the resistance refer to these people as sheep... as someone who raises sheep, i can tell you that none of my animals are that stupid... fool them once shame on you, you will not get a second chance...
Trump's mental and cognitive states have deteriorated, leaving him a bloviating, delusional lunatic. The GOP strategy of distract and hyperventilate is reaching a breaking point as our economy deteriorates and we appear as the laughing stock of the world.
Trump's authoritarian power is rapidly evaporating as his unhinged rhetoric, shocking ignorance, and delusional stupidity have become more evident.
For better or worse, international politics are proceeding without us. The GOP enablers are now the responsible parties for allowing this nightmare to continue. I am hoping for an intervention, not an epitaph.
We are witness a case study in the mental deterioration of a terminal narcissist combined with cognitive decline. We have a raving lunatic in charge and a circle of sycophants blindly kissing his ass and willfully denying the emperor wardrobe. We are in trouble!
I, too, find myself respecting the actions (or non-action) of folks like Cheney, Raffensperger and others despite core differences in our values. I get differences in belief and values on the part of the GOP. What I don’t understand is the lack of forethought as to where these elected folks and oligarchs think it will end. A group of seriously ill-prepared and inadequate individuals are tasked with administrating the actions of a demented man who will murder at will internationally and domestically as well as has access to nuclear codes that, if activated, would end the lives of thousands.
Great column, so much crazy. So many wars and conflicts. I am also glad to hear you also do not have a tv. I got rid of mine in 1989 and mostly do not miss it. I have so many other things to do!
It’s been 1973 for me and I’m so glad. I do enjoy movies but that makes the dialogue on tv even worse and harder to watch because it pales in comparison.
Excellent read and I am filled with hope that maybe we are closer to the opening of the Epstein files. The Great Baffoon may finally receive the headlines he deserves,' Trump found guilty' !
Trump's regurgitation at the United Nations was something for the world to see. His lifetime dislike of things foreign makes him look like Archie Bunker, without the fun.
So very well said. The only part left out is the recent "LET'S MAKE BILLIONS BY SELLING ADVANCED CHIPS TO SAUDI ARABIA!!!! A deal he will make billions on. This should be enough to impeach him. Let's hope.

Nice. Very nice.

Earlier today I posted comments about Trumps mental state on a newsletter from Mary. You stated it so much better than I did! Great post.

The 2 women he was married to the longest were foreign.
