And yet smart capable journalists continue to belittle Trump and see him as a terrible man and leader. In spite of knowing much said about him is fabricated BS

But Trump is Adolph Schindler....no wait, that's not right...Trump is Rudolph Nureyev....no, no, no...Trump is Mr. Drysdale...shit...alright...Trump is somebody who isn't named Trump...but that person is bad...like Unabomber bad or Russell Brand bad...not Smokin' Joe Rappaport bad...even talking about Trump makes your brain leak...and turns your manhood flaccid & shriveled...no one, but no one, wants a flaccid shriveled hunk of manhood ruining their selfies or their podcasts....children, gripped by progeria like Trump mania, instantly age and turn orange...Putin was driven mad by small glimpses of the imaginary pee tape...drove him into a Ukrainian hating frenzy....young girls, when confronted by Trump, are driven to bury their freshly laundered hairdos into the face of Smokin Joe Tater for safety...the horror my man, the horror...Liz Cheney weeps blood at the thought of a DEMOCRACY killing TRUMP FRENZY returning to the White Hearse...would Liz Cheney lie? Cheney is an ancient Coptic word that means, roughly, "manly looking woman who makes wee in your kisser"....nothing even remotely resembling the phrase "lying bitch" appears anywhere in that translation.

So please rethink this Trump loyalty.

It's a Big Mac munching darkness at high noon.

I don't get the loyalty, but I also don't get those infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Other than he's annoying, a narcissist, and hyperbolic, what did he ever do to merit the hatred and contempt, much less the fear. Biden by early 2022 was well on his way to destroying whatever democracy remained in the US. I don't want Trump to be President again, but frankly I'm sick of the relentless Trump fear mongering.

Susan, my post was just me riffing on TDS until my coffee pot beeped. I have no loyalty to much of anything beyond my wife & kids. Politicians have, as Hillary Clinton put it, a public position & a private position. We hear much too much of the 1st & exactly 0 of the 2nd unless something accidentally leaks out.

The idea of a 2024 Trump/Biden rerun has all the appeal of the 659th episode of Survivor. But hey, Americans seem to like staring at the same shite until either their eyes begin to bleed or they keel over with that coronary. If anything our lack of viable leadership is indicative of a country lying around waiting for someone to stick a fork in it.

At this point I'd rather vote in a plumber or an electrician rather than another member of the professional managerial class.

The Democrats love to point out that Trump will "seek political retribution against his enemies" if he's elected. They say this while they spend most of their time seeking political retribution against Trump. So, either their constituents are credulously confused or their constituents are gullibly brain addled.

I've just decided that, rather than allowing this to raise my blood pressure, I'm going to laugh all the way to our red, white & blue graveyard, comfortable with the knowledge that we are, as a country of apathetic overweight windbags who have passively acquiesced to generations of political crapola from 2 parties of crapola slingers, getting what we deserve.

At this point in my life, I appear unable to differentiate humor and irony from criticism. The psy-op has worked on me. I regretfully agree that we are getting what we deserve. Glad you have found a way to come to terms with the shitstorm that is America today. I hope I can find a coping mechanism.

I've been there so you have my sympathies.

Honestly I still wander into depression on occasion.

It's never a pleasant experience.

I just try to remember that no president, whether it's Joe or Donald or George or Barack or Bill, etc., actually gives a tinker's toot about me & mine.

I try to return the favor when able.

Susan.

Yes the 'coping' machine needs some oil.

We need Trump to begin what Ramaswamy may finish--reforming or dissolving the very bureaucratic fiefdoms that are panicking with exposure and ending the security state's function as political hatchetmen.

We need someone to reform the bureaucracy. Why Trump. In his first term, the bureaucracy became, if possible, even more entrenched. Late in his term, he announced he was working on something about civil service protections that could ease removal of senior executive level employees. The little I remember, it sounded promising. But the rot appears at all levels - Elvis Chan, FBI agent responsible for internet censorship, is a Grade 14, not an SES.

IтАЩm hoping that over time many will understand that the Trump attacks are just a part of one gigantic disinformation campaign against him. He has never helped himself though, we must admit.

Absolutely - he is delivering the equivalent of the Gettysburg address every day to large crowds- unifying, patriotic, altruistic - truly on a higher planeтАж..and yet the media is painting him as unhinged somehow. I canтАЩt figure it out ЁЯШК

Trump makes me laugh- I think of the film тАЬIdiocracyтАЭ whenever he speaks.

When Biden speaks the film I think of is тАЬBeing There 5тАЭ, when Chauncey Gardner is 85, demented and becomes spiteful.
