As a non-socialist opera fan, may I say that this seems like…a good idea? www.metopera.org/app/opera-fo...

Trump is so beyond-the-beyond that he commits a felony every time he opens his mouth.

As these late-night AI excrescences multiply, be comforted (maybe) in the knowledge that only a profoundly disturbed and corrupt egomaniac is capable of such twisted frauds--at once hilarious and chilling.

Draft dodger cosplays with stolen valor

Wonderful way to put it.

#McConnell #Repubnants DC Post quotes McConnell staffer, “The Senator continues to meet with staff regarding Senate and Kentucky business, including discussions on defense appropriations, foreign policy, the farm bill, ...” If he can do that, why not a 20 sec. iPhone video for the public?

No question about it. And SCOTUS's very nearly agreeing that his EO's can vacate a Constitutional amendment has no doubt given him further reason to dream.

And by the way, if Mainers were willing to chose a Platner type to support against Collins, why not some decent, if unglamorous, substitute in this critical battle for the Senate? Please! Eyes on the prize!

Absolutely true. (But the resulting revenue can be put to better use than renting Venice for a wedding.)

Democrats should be out there saying: "When is the last time July 4th was cancelled in DC? We recognize the danger of climate change and will go out to meet it head-on. Donald Trump doesn't care if people roast or freeze. He cares only about pleasing his billionaire energy industry donors."

There are 2 ways our (nearly former) allies can help us if they’re worried about our descent into isolationist fascism. 1) They should gather and publish intelligence on Trump’s traitorous relationship and fealty to Putin. 2). They should steal and leak the Epstein files.

I’m constantly hearing from Democratic politicians that Trump is “disconnected from the needs of ordinary Americans.” Dudes! He disconnected from the needs of anyone, foreign or domestic, except Putin and the megarich.

#plutocrats#techbros#classwar Our generation’s plutocrats have more powerful tools to subjugate us than those of the Gilded Age. (Until now the Republicans were the principal weapon.) Good to see we have a great new class warrior in James Tallarico.

I’m trying to remember the last time I saw a suit standing at the the door of a closing business, shaking hands with employees he dismissed and handing out swag bags.

Naw. He's just the newest Manchurian Candidate. It's how he communicates with his handler.

For generations, Republicans have been screaming “treason” given any opportunity, mostly scurrilous attacks. Where are they now that the bogeyman has finally shown up for work?

This isn’t just Trump’s usual idiocy. This is what it looks like when the President of the United States is a willing subject and tool of a foreign enemy.

If he believes something this preposterously ahistorical, how is it possible that such an idiot is in charge of public health? If he's lying through his teeth, how is it possible such a misanthrope is in charge of public health? In this conundrum lies the essence of our pitiful political era.

Our economy always generates wealth. It's just not spread equitably among us.

When you swim with the (media) sharks, you naturally think you’re a shark. Even if you’re a minnow.

I think this kind of gutless behavior (and underlying greed) will hasten the continuing decline of networks...leading to further hyper-fragmentation of news sources...and more opportunity for ordinary people to choose their own set of facts.

They absolutely don’t do this “Dear Leader” stuff any better in N Korea.

Yes!!!

Classless, clueless, characterless.

I guess the cognitively-challenged old gentleman is always to be preferred to the psychopath? Even an aging frame with a sane foundation beats a raging malevolence? Okay, I get that.

Even many of the religious zealots who have foolishly anointed him the Redeemer must know that he is beyond--so, so far beyond--redemption.

Marcus Aurelius this guy isn't. More likely somewhere on the spectrum between Caligula and Commodus.
