Indeed, and I forgot a term you coined about making shit like this normal. Please remind us of it the next chance you get. You used it the other day on beatdown. Long-term for sure. Baron Von Shitsinpants doesn't plan to step down at any time in the future for fear of prison, and those pardoned 1.6k "patriots" will promote chaos and disorder in the name of antisemitism and declare martial law and postpone elections forever. By the way? Is it "Shitsinpants or Shitzinpants", spelled with an s or a z? A YouTube survey asked me if I was familiar with the term. Congratulations, Mr. C., you're work is expanding the English language!

Right on target again! now, will his reaction to the TACO label drive greater chaos? will he drive this horse to its knees to show critics he won't "chicken out" no matter how foolish his course was? i wish we could take his keys away today!

Keep it coming, Michael! If anyone thought that Donnie Dumbass cared about anything but power and money, they are delusional. He has shown his true colors very clearly throughout his life. Folks just refuse to believe what is right in front of their eyes.

I listened to an interview with Michael Lewis (on the Tim Miller show/Bulwark) and he made an interesting observation about Trump's chaotic management/negotiation/communication style: It's in this chaos that he feels most in control. It's obvious, but hearing it said made it clearer to me. And while everyone's head is spinning, trying to make sense of what's going on, he basically robs the bank. It's probably a great tactic for vacation timeshare sales but man what a price the nation is paying.

YES! Thank you Michael. Americans need to STOP this habit of NOT paying attention to the man behind the curtain habit…and START. Trump is the WIZARD OF DESTRUCTION. On steroids. He thinks he can fool and impress us all of us with his grand illusions and promises of a better America. Don't Believe Him. Call him out on his lies, his greed, his inhumanity, his insanity. Because this is..INSANITY. On steroids. DO Something. Share this with friends, and with so many who still…don’t get it. It's now or never. Sharing.

Post WWII we were the leaders of the free world. Champions of democracy through such actions as the Marshal Plan and the Berlin Air Lift , Radio Free Europe and numerous other international projects that benefited the world.

Amazing how quickly a self-absorbed con man could undermine

the confidence the rest of the world had in us .

So true and so scary. We will fight until we win. Loosing is not even an option. I, for one, will never give in to what he is doing. He and his regime are the biggest idiots on this earth. Liars, cheats and corrupters. There's too many people out there depending on our country, what it was, not what it is, to let him ruin it. He's done a lot of damage, but we can fix that. We just have to get him out of the WH and get out government back. The senators won't do their jobs and neither will SCOTUS - they have proven that. Didn't know that there were so many people that hated our country and what it stands for. The sad part is that they have lived in our country for many years - so this hate comes from within. If they think they are going to get rich off of this, I suspect they would be in for a surprise. Donnie's not sharing the money. It's going in his pockets and they will be out in the cold, but they believe that he is god. He's a false god and they don't even know it. I wonder what would shake them up enough to do the job that they took an oath to do. Possibly bribery. What kind of job and oath accepts bribery? Our government. Qatar said that they didn't offer the plane, but that Donnie asked for it. A little kid in the candy store throwing a tantrum when mom says "no" you can't have that sucker. Lies, Crime, Cruelty, Corruption. What a thing for a president to be known for and it's too bad that he is part of the USA. He belongs in another atmosphere far away from us. Sorry, this is so long. I'm ranting because I am so pissed off.

But here's the gazillion-dollar question, Mikey: Who is going to stop them, & what is their plan? If you're saying it's us, what are we supposed to do? I know how this kind of thing is handled in other countries, but we've always thought we were better than them. We have to realize we're not.

Short term, I pay attention and speak my mind, but also I am trying to think of proactive, constructive actions. Feeling pure anger gets me going, but it's not exactly healthy without including some rational thinking.
