It's not hard to guess why the mainstream TV networks agree to letting Trump preempt their income-generating programming for a nationally broadcast incoherent scree. All of these networks are owned by billionaires who profit handily from their close associations with Trump. They give him all the coerced attention he craves and he makes sure that government regulations and laws do not impede their pillaging of the country.
I was about to post a link to the Shelley poem, Ozymandias, where the poet sees a fallen statute, broken amid the rubble of time, with the words inscribed on the base: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair." I thought it was an appropriate message to DJT that his efforts at grandiosity are for naught. However, then I realized that DJT does not care about the future. He is all for now, in the moment. Sure, part of his grandiosity is to enrich his family, but the value he derives from this and all his actions comes from the present moment. That's why he is great in campaigning and speechifying but awful and inept in governing. It's also why matters like truth and science are nothing more than inconveniences to ignore. Thank you, Mary, once again for a brilliant and inspirational column.
Those terrible Vandal caused gashes in the reflecting pool liner appear to be parallel tracks, so there were probably two Vandals working together, about a car width apart to maintain communications.
The face and hair color bear no resemblance to photos taken days before the “fall”. I don’t understand why the Governor is not demanding an in-person or live video conversation ASAP.
The Governor has a legal obligation to appoint a temporary replacement or start the special election process (depending on which law he relies on). He can’t act responsibly based on a questionable photo.
I've also seen posts showing pictures of McConnell supposedly in rehab (current) and of him in May. Vast difference! He looks much, much older in the May photo.

Been seeing posts that the Mitch photo is from a 2023 vacation. Photoshopped for its current role.

We'll be blissfully streaming "Grey's Anatomy" tonight instead, thumbing our noses at the idiot in the people's house.
Could Trump be setting the environment for declaring a national state of emergency prior to the mid-terms, thus suspending voting?
My vote goes here. 👍🏻 He’s seeding the ground for whatever they have planned for November.
I will not be watching the speech on Thursday night. 47 will rant and lie and grimace as he does.
If something really important is said, it will show up immediately on our feeds and breaking news in the stations not covering the address.
Thanks, Mary. I'll wait for the movie that eventually results from this obscene regime. Besides, I"ll be playing Bejeweled tonight.
