by the way, I was just alerted to the fact that the link in the second item — the one about Trump pretending to be his own press agent — was incorrect. I've fixed it.
Agree but his loyal cult members won't watch the trials. They won't have anything to do with something that might shed a negative light on their leader. And if someone tells them what's happening they will say "fake news."
When all some people have is blind faith, they will fight tooth and nail for their beliefs because anything otherwise is threatening to them. When someone has KNOWLEDGE or EXPERIENCE of what's true, they don't have to fight because they are secure in what they know.
Very concerning. Besides the GOP liking them dumb and uneducated, it shows us the endless toxicity of Fox News and the other far right media outlets who continue to bombard the airwaves with their dangerous pro tangerine turd agenda.
Give it time. As more indictments hits the orange fatty's shit fan, he will become more unraveled than we can possibly imagine. And all but the truly Dunning-Krugers will get tired of his poor me show and support someone else.
It's something far worse than stupid i'm afraid. Though they definitely are stupid. Over the weekend a number of the dimwits were interviewed showing, yes indeed, they are stupid, super stupid.
Right. His "career" was essentially to serve as money launderer for various mobs, eventually those of the Russians connected to Putin. They didn't trust him to manage anything else because they, like everyone else, knows just what a nincompoop he is. He's pathological and pathologically stupid. The rakes are all facing upward all the time.
Love this and I second your Thank You message. Fani Willis says “We’re ready to go” and I’m especially waiting for that one because I want to see if she indicts scumbags like Lindsey Graham.
Yes.Lindsey Graham needs to go down too along with most of the Rs in the House and Senate.My illustrious House rep Gym Jordan is particularly in great need of a come-uppance.
He sang like a canary. He doesn’t want to go to prison for Trump and can’t afford to be disbarred. Besides, he doesn’t want to run into the criminals he prosecuted.
For all of these” he got caughts” there is zero accountability so far.I go back and forth between wanting his ass to be thrown in prison with the key thrown into the Atlantic Ocean or just him being financially and politically and totally ruined with no recourse.We all know he certainly belongs in and has belonged in prison for many years.He is an oozing sore on America’s soul, that much I know.
Caught but never punished. He’s an old man. If he’s ever sentenced, he will never live long enough to serve.
If I may quote the late Sir Terry Pratchett -
"There’s no triumph over a corpse, but a beaten opponent, who will remain beaten every day of the remainder of their sad and wretched life, is something to treasure."
It looks like in the game of Monopoly, Trump may have used up his "Get out of Jail Free" cards. Let us hope so. I too am exhausted by Donald Trump. I was already exhausted with Donald Trump back when he had a disgusting reality television show which I watched for all of 10 (at the most) minutes while channel surfing. It told me all I ever wanted to know about Donald Trump, in fact more than I wanted to know. Of course I learned more about him, like that he did not pay his debts, and weaseled out of them, and basically expects everyone else to foot his bills. I also know that he used to be a democrat, and that switch to Republican because they would be easier to dupe, something he must have figured out early on, but still, Donald Trump belongs to the world of people I would rather not know or know about. I know about him because he became president and pretty much drove me to buying a home in another country, and retiring early from my job, so that I could be better prepared to make a move if he ever becomes president again. I cannot take that much tiredness as I feel about this ill man and his antics, which are basically aimed to destroy the planet to feed his insatiable ego. Led by ego and certain body parts, the man is never going to make a good decision. However, I guess he thought his mob connections and RICO violating behavior would be protected forever. Now he knows that the Tortoise beats the hare. Didn't he call Biden "Sleepy Joe?" Well, Trump may be hyper but the only thing he accomplishes is chaos, while Biden is rebuilding the entire country from the ground up after over 40 years of extreme mismanagement. That includes putting competent people in jobs, like in the justice department. That is a branch of government that will eternally be kept busy as long as the Republican party exists. As I have said before, I consider a better name for Trump's newly chosen party to be, "The New American Nazi Party" just as in Germany, the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) should be called ,"The New German Nazi Party" (die Neue deutsche Nazi Partei).
Like others have said so many times...it’s downright scary that more he gets in trouble, the more people support him. We live in the “Bizarro world” that makes no sense. The elation I enjoyed during Obama’s inauguration and the pride I felt seeing him in office for eight-years, was the pinnacle for me. When the pendulum swung so far to the right (and it’s still swinging i.e our Supreme Court), - it’s just sad. Trump had BETTER be more than just “caught” this time. His ass better be convicted and punished, like any other John Q. Citizen.
It's easy to explain. That element of the right out and out HATES the rest of us. Period. Think about it. They hate us more than they hate he raped Jean Carroll. They hate us more than they hate someone stealing from kids with Cancer. They just HATE.
I do understand that there is an enormous amount of “hate”, but where does that come from? Most Americans don’t realize how GREAT we have it compared to the rest of the world. From free speech, free press, women’s ’ rights,etc. I know that ignorance and sheer stupidity is also a part of it, but the hate and unhappiness that so many of these people possess, not to mention the Christians who back Trump so fervently, - it’s just befuddling. Where does that ‘hate’ come from? I know that Trump fans the flames, he just ignites their ‘pilot lights’.
They always hated and feard the left; even just middle Democrats. Mostly, I think, because we balked at some traditions. We sometimes did things differently, actually for no reason except they think we are tryingito erase their way of life. They think we are over educated snobs that look down on them. This is just from stuff I hear or see on my facebook feed. The whole forgive college debt thing has them ready to bust a gut.
Just galling that there’s been no accountability all that time. I have so little faith in the system anymore that I find it hard to believe he’ll really pay for his latest criminal activity. Why in hell is everyone so afraid of this repugnant imbecile?!?!
Honestly Jeff I love your commentaries but this one is a perfect summary. TFGhS been a crook from the get go…what I don’t get is why he is not in jail already. My fear is that he will run again and notoriously apathetic Democrats will not show up to vote. Problem is that fanatics and cultists always do show up. As a Canadian, I watch in fear as this destruction of democracy edges north. Can’t remember at this moment who said this, but it is true ‘Democracy isn’t perfect but it beats the alternatives’. Jeff please keep these commentaries going on. You are a voice of reason .
I am torn between wanting him in jail now and dragging it out until he's the 2024 GOP presidential nominee and then goes to jail, dragging all gop candidates through his miserableness
For all those lawyers he DID pay to keep him accountable-less, someone should do a Cribs-style tour of their blue blood-money estates. Won't THAT be entertaining.
He is such a putz. Can someone please explain why he is so popular with admittedly a minority - but a sizable minority - of Americans? Sadly I think this says much more about the country than DT. I hear pundits identifying it, but who is digging into it? This is a huge problem. How do we tackle/address it? If he looses again, I don’t think it’s going away.
Calling him a putz is a compliment. What he has done is evil. The thousands of people who believed him and died of Covid. The cruelty at the border, and decreasing the country’s standing in the world.
And the hundreds of people who died in Syria, the soldiers who died in Ukraine when he drug his feet with their aid and the people who died in Afghanistan when he booby trapped it for Biden's pull out deal.
I go with the theory of... The enemy of my enemy, is my friend. Those people have been so brainwashed as to who and what the Democrats are that they HATE us with a passion. The more we hate trump, the more upset we are with the criminal, the more they LOVE him. Sick, I know.
It’s a cult and he’s their leader. The MAGAs were looking for a place to belong and he gave them one. Nothing anyone says or does will change their minds. I don’t think everyone who voted for him has the cult mentality, but the cultists
As great as him getting caught is, it is bankrolling him into the Presidential Primary with zero blow back. The cult and cronies love him. If he gets in, per his fine former council Ty Cobb, he will either pardon himself or appoint a temporary AG who will erase all the charges. If we don't have a BIG BLUE WAVE to flush this turd out of the system, we are going to have a dicktator-predator-coup-maker in chief who will order his cult to kill all the "others" on sight.
by the way, I was just alerted to the fact that the link in the second item — the one about Trump pretending to be his own press agent — was incorrect. I've fixed it.
And to think, 80% of Republican voters say they would vote for him again. How stupid can stupid get?
This is why all of his trials should be televised. All of them.
I agree 100%!
Agree but his loyal cult members won't watch the trials. They won't have anything to do with something that might shed a negative light on their leader. And if someone tells them what's happening they will say "fake news."
They will watch Fox's out of context excerpts from the trial, which they will spin to suit whatever message they want the cultists to hear.
When all some people have is blind faith, they will fight tooth and nail for their beliefs because anything otherwise is threatening to them. When someone has KNOWLEDGE or EXPERIENCE of what's true, they don't have to fight because they are secure in what they know.
The trials will be important for “fence sitters” on Biden. The majority of Americans already know what a scammer Conald Dump really is.
Just keep putting it out in the open I think
Even if they all get televised , the ones who most need to see them will still be glued to NewsMax or FAUX.
Very concerning. Besides the GOP liking them dumb and uneducated, it shows us the endless toxicity of Fox News and the other far right media outlets who continue to bombard the airwaves with their dangerous pro tangerine turd agenda.
All this history but never attach any of it to him on TV or much in what is left of the newspapers.
There is no bottom.
It's called the Circles of Hell..Dante got it right 👍
I often feel like I'm watching Revelation come about and Trump is the antichrist.
Let's hope so, because that would mean his 7 year reign is nearly over.
Very stupid, apparently.
Give it time. As more indictments hits the orange fatty's shit fan, he will become more unraveled than we can possibly imagine. And all but the truly Dunning-Krugers will get tired of his poor me show and support someone else.
That's why he loves the uneducated: just like him
.
It's something far worse than stupid i'm afraid. Though they definitely are stupid. Over the weekend a number of the dimwits were interviewed showing, yes indeed, they are stupid, super stupid.
Stripey, you can't fix stupid 😭
It TOTALLY boggles my mind.
It seems there is no to that question, obviously very much more stupid!
Right. His "career" was essentially to serve as money launderer for various mobs, eventually those of the Russians connected to Putin. They didn't trust him to manage anything else because they, like everyone else, knows just what a nincompoop he is. He's pathological and pathologically stupid. The rakes are all facing upward all the time.
Made me smile!
I like your rake analogy, speaking as a gardener 😀🚲
Love this and I second your Thank You message. Fani Willis says “We’re ready to go” and I’m especially waiting for that one because I want to see if she indicts scumbags like Lindsey Graham.
Yes.Lindsey Graham needs to go down too along with most of the Rs in the House and Senate.My illustrious House rep Gym Jordan is particularly in great need of a come-uppance.
At least Mitch McTurtle is starting to fall apart. Let the stupid old men die out, Lord, please!
i'm betting ole Rudy G. either cooperated or is one of the half dozen indicted.
He sang like a canary. He doesn’t want to go to prison for Trump and can’t afford to be disbarred. Besides, he doesn’t want to run into the criminals he prosecuted.
Oh, yeah Rooty Tooty is goin' down 👇. Bernie Kerik is hell bent on staying out of prison this time around. He's spilling all the tea, is my guess.
We can only hope and hold our collective breath.
For all of these” he got caughts” there is zero accountability so far.I go back and forth between wanting his ass to be thrown in prison with the key thrown into the Atlantic Ocean or just him being financially and politically and totally ruined with no recourse.We all know he certainly belongs in and has belonged in prison for many years.He is an oozing sore on America’s soul, that much I know.
I want him covered in oozing, rank boils, raving on a damp cement cell. For starters.
Yes. He needs to rot in jail and then burn in hell!
I think they are the same, hell and jail.
I lime the picture of that Neal!
I hope I'm never on your bad side, Neal😂
Highly unlikely.
No need to go back and forth - let's all hope for both prison AND financial/political ruin!
Greg: Perfect solution!!
How do you feel about tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail?
Caught but never punished. He’s an old man. If he’s ever sentenced, he will never live long enough to serve.
If I may quote the late Sir Terry Pratchett -
"There’s no triumph over a corpse, but a beaten opponent, who will remain beaten every day of the remainder of their sad and wretched life, is something to treasure."
It seems that he’s actually a cockroach who has evaded being squashed and dying this far, maybe he’ll live long enough to serve time.
Great minds think alike. I've been calling him a cockroach for 5 years and for the same reasons.
New nickname borrowed from you all: orange cockroach turd
I'm treasuring....thank you for that great quote, Dancing. 🙏🏽
That column was so good I'm keeping it in my little archives just so I can pull it out every so often and chuckle.
Great idea! Me too!

Frankly, Jeff, I’m thanking you for you Public Service Announcement.

WHY, though?
Just galling that there’s been no accountability all that time. I have so little faith in the system anymore that I find it hard to believe he’ll really pay for his latest criminal activity. Why in hell is everyone so afraid of this repugnant imbecile?!?!
Linda, Many, many of us are not afraid. We're mad as hell and activated to get him and his hellions out! There's more of us then him....
Just hope all our anger results in record turnout in 2024!
Honestly Jeff I love your commentaries but this one is a perfect summary. TFGhS been a crook from the get go…what I don’t get is why he is not in jail already.

You’re right I’ve seen it
It’s a cult and he’s their leader. The MAGAs were looking for a place to belong and he gave them one. Nothing anyone says or does will change their minds. I don’t think everyone who voted for him has the cult mentality, but the cultists
got him nominated and the other
republicans voted for him rather than a democrat.
yep, And those people who are a small minority are sick with hate and hopeless so we should stop even giving them any attention, and I mean NONE.
As great as him getting caught is, it is bankrolling him into the Presidential Primary with zero blow back. The cult and cronies love him. If he gets in, per his fine former council Ty Cobb, he will either pardon himself or appoint a temporary AG who will erase all the charges. If we don't have a BIG BLUE WAVE to flush this turd out of the system, we are going to have a dicktator-predator-coup-maker in chief who will order his cult to kill all the "others" on sight.
I agree, we have to have a HUGE blue wave to override the purging, suppression and other fuckery the GOP has planned for the 24 general election.
If we don’t, we’re sunk.
If democracy doesn’t prevail, something else will
