    “covered a lot of things with his characteristic weave.” you can just say “addled brain” CNN.

  2. Called it. Not one real question the entire time. How far this county has fallen.

    If you support a politician, wouldnt you want to at least think they could handle hard questions. How is Trump some bastion of strength when hes literally scared of words. He wasn’t asked one real question. Compared to Hillary’s testimony, he’s so weak and scared.

  3. Trump says we’ll “find out” his resolve to acquire Greenland. That’s pretty much a declaration of war. Trump becomes more of maniac by the day. The danger is real.

  4. Even by Trump standards, this is one of the most insane (in an unsettling way) events Trump has put on.

    Holy shit, I clcicked the CSpan link to see if Trump was still yabbering on and it was Bovino who seems to be going through the flyers that MAGA made about those they detained as “worst of the worst” and these are people who are NOT CONVICTED – one of them, ironically is a guy who is alleged to have raped a minor.

    But seriously, this name and shaming happened on Fox with names of people deemed as illegal and suspected of crimes – meaning innocent before proven guilty in a court of law.

    I hope a lot of these cases get dismissed and that there’s some sort of defamation or libel for this bullshit. I hate how much money, our money is being wasted on this, but unfortunately Trump and these billionaires who think “Mom and pops” invest in buying 10-15 houses are simply living in a world that only exists in their minds.

  6. This is the death of us as a superpower. It’s crazy how the republicans think that all these alliances we’ve ruined are just one deal away from being ok again.

    Macron and everyone else is saying “America is a mess, so let’s figure out how to deal with each other without them”

    “Under my leadership, it’s not done properly, but uhhh…it’s done properly,” Trump says at the WH press briefing.

    Make it make sense.

    Trump sounds confused and what he’s saying doesn’t even make sense. It’s painfully obvious he has some type of medical condition. Which is wildly ironic considering how he was always going on and on about Biden’s health. Hmmmm.

    This is a million times worse than anything Biden has ever said and it’s not even fucking close.

    Imagine if it was Biden instead saying this shit. The Right would be losing their absolute fucking minds.

    Our president is threatening to invade Greenland and goes on TV to brag about how if his finger got xaught in a binder clip he would act lime it didn’t hurt. Glad we have our priorities straight.

  11. He held up one of those pics and it read something about the guy being convicted of sexusl assault on a child, it went back down pretty fast…

    I liked the bit where he started to talk about a nice lady giving him a peace prize, rambled on for a minute or so, then interjected into his own ramblings with her first name; ‘Maria’. That really proved he’s not senile, only being able to remember the first name of someone you’ve just met and about 5 minutes after describing what happened.

    I’m less curious about his growing senility than I am about why they thought bringing him out in this state was a good idea? Did he just insist on it and they were too cowardly to push back? Or all of his minions as deranged as he is to the point they think this actually looks good? It wouldn’t surprise me after Vance’s excitement at sharing the Jonathan Ross cell phone footage that just made it even worse.

    We’re in that timeline that the other timeline is so happy not to be in. I think we had it good for a bit there, but alas we are not the chosen.

    Ok, tinfoil hat mode on:

    Someone told donnie that he has months to live, so he has no fucks left to give. He is almost certain that he wont finish his term, and wont even live to see the midterms

  16. He said the Abbey gate bombing was “the lowest point in the history of our country.” Not slavery, or the civil war, or jim crow, or the Japanese internment, or 9/11…
