Here's some good news: Trump is losing his mind, literally. His father died of dementia; his mother of Alzheimer's. You can see and hear the toll it's taking, especially as the Epstein Files debacle closes in on him. He speaks jibberish, no longer the "weave." Just straight up crazy talk. Which will make it harder to convict him of treason for selling 48 F-35's to the Saudi's, who will more than likely offload the tech to China. [Why do they need all those planes?] All so that Trump and Sons can make out like piggy bandits in the Middle East. MBS is a scourge and the honors bestowed on him Tuesday, plus the awful gaud of the Oval Office, made me sick to my stomach. How far America has fallen under this regime. When he is finally gone, we must all join hands in a massive demonstration nation-wide and ask the world for forgiveness for what so low a man has done.

Yes..But. This is the person America wanted to be President. The voters knew exactly what Trump was, and like the Epstein victim, voted for him in spite of that knowledge. We have the Leaders we want - whether they are in the House, Senate or Executive branch - because we choose.

What we witnessed was business as usual for him. Total and complete adoration of autocracy. Add Saudi Arabia to the list of autocratic countries that he admires.

Nothing can erase the awful taste in my mouth after the REAL “Piggy” dismissed Khashoggi’s murder as “things happen”. I think that quote describes his entire presidency. He is the “Things Happen” president. He stumbles around, obfuscating and blustering. Child rape? “Things happen.” Millions thrown off Medicaid and insurance costs skyrocketing? “Things happen.” Children going without food and medicine and dying without our AID program? “Things happen.” Corruption rampant with his self-dealing and self-enrichment without a peep from Republicans? “Things happen.” Ice agents being paid to arrest people indiscriminately? “Things happen.” Pardons to insurrectionists from January 6? “Things happen.” Investigating and harassing his political enemies? “Things happen.” And on, and on…

Well, Charlie Kirk thought it was acceptable for some people to die every year from gun violence, saying that was the price to be paid for having the Second Amendment. I winder if anyone ever asked him if he was willing to be part of that payment?

The hypocrisy of the Republican Party is evident in everything they do. They're only outraged when bad things happen to them, but then either discount the event or blame the victims, whether it's murder, rape, illness, poverty, or hunger.

Some 'Christians'.

I believe the $2 billion Jarad Kushner collected was for classified information stolen from the White House.

Undoubtedly. Isn’t that being an actual TRAITOR??? As if it matters any more.

The orange Rump MUST be dragged out of OUR Whitehouse, along with his corrupt, incompetent cabinet, NOW.

“Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on.” - Frederic Bastiat

Same as it ever was. We do not learn from history.

Sickening. There was a bungle in disposal of Kashogi's body. One of the murders in the videos had black shoes on. In another frame they were white. That's what focused on. IMHO, Trump may have been involved.

Craven, decrepit and soulless barely begin to define and describe Donald Trump. Keep in mind that MBS and his Saudi brethren throw homosexuals off the roofs of high buildings. Khashoggi was killed while Bezos owned WaPo. No comment. The pattern of brutal cruelty gets an affirmation from Trump and MBS. Trump's dismissive remarks are chilling. Trump's contract with the Devil has no end date, no expiration date.

Thank you for a moment of laugh-out-loud humor in the midst of this absurdity:

"the Oval Office, appropriately decorated like a bordello."

We should also revisit the link between the Saudis and 9/11!

It’s almost beyond belief. I can’t understand what it is in this disgusting creature’s curdled little soul that makes him swoon over the most blood-thirsty dictators.
