"Trump is a menace who only gives a fuck about Trump.

will Republicans ever wake up and realize what a nightmare he is?"

No, apparently they are so terrified of this POS, they can't get past him.

Some people (a lot?) are not ... smart ...

No kidding. Today a medical office I have gone to for years has a front office lady I got friendly with overtime. Nice but wow she has a lifetime case of republican ignorance. Even though FOX denounces it she confirmed to me today that Biden is using USA money and is being paid by the Iranians ( the $6B recently released from S. Korea, etc.) to facilitate the Hamas/ Israeli war!

Honestly, the ignorance and R-wing religious prejudice is totally overwhelming and probably pointless to even try to explain to. I did give it the old Girl Scout try, explaining how Qatar's played an intermediary role with past administrations like Trump's. This happened early in his 4 years but apparently actually ancient history for this person.

Occasionally, I try but will never break thru. Lately, I have been viewing documentaries on cults. The specialists in this field is likely the best source for understanding them or trying to communicate with them.

The GOP in officeholders look at his hard-core base, say 25-30%, plus the rest of the follow any R-name no matter what and say, " we can work with that"!

Such cowards, they would never defend the country no matter the corruption and treasonous behavior and believe this disgusting self-serving behavior can be harnessed to keep them in office. Sometimes, you can see in the past when they wibble-wobble, when Trump does his worst; 1/6, multiple charges and then they breath a sigh of relief when Trump support continues. BUT, does it? I know what the polls but didn't half the crowd leave as Trump continued to vomit out this dribble? Or how about the crowd interviews, what were issues they wanted to hear from Trump? Answer, duh...

I am thinking the only reason they show up is because it's free and they want to be entertained. Isn't that why anyone listened to Trump before his political "life"?

It is hard to believe that this woeful ignorance is so large and prevassive throughout the GOP party and their voters, but here we are. Truly, I just don't think they could find their own asses with both hands and a flashlight so how can we expect any reasoning to the tribal Trump/GOP/FOX/ & other sources that fill their empty heads but most certainly ignite their emotions?

Can someone please enlighten me as to how his cult members don't see this incoherent, rambling word salad as total derangement? The man is nuts. When you think about the thought processes that produced this babble, it is scary as hell to think that he was (and still might be) the next president.

Those very toxic anus-like lips of destruction never take a day off. It's beyond frightening that this felonious insane bastard with no shame or common sense could end up in the Oval Office again. Mary Trump tweeted the other day that he's rapidly losing support and as much as we'd like to believe her, that doesn't appear to be what's happening thanks in part to the damn media. It is a dirty rotten shame that more people can't see through this very dangerous deranged shit show.

I agree. I swear I thought I was going to fall over when I heard a neighbor who I know voted for Biden the last time say that she wasn't going to in 2024 because food prices are too high and 'Trump's telling it like it is!'

You are totally on target...she's the kind of gullible voter I always worry about! Thankfully, I only overheard her saying this shit to someone else. I backed away so that I didn't scream in shock. I figured I'd pull myself together and try to talk some sense into her at a later date!

It was in regards to Trump's endorsement of Jim Jordan for speaker meant nothing and it spells doom for those who accept it. She also stated that his grip on the GOP is eroding faster than his net worth. Perhaps this could be happening behind closed doors.

Polls are like balloon animals, can be turned into almost any shape. We could ask President Hillary Clinton, the "for sure" winner in 2016, according to 538. We will know about this "eroding support" in about 13 months. Probably not before.

Because he has been anointed and appointed by God to be the next president. There's a few orange turd supporters I um...'stalk' on Facebook and they honestly believe this. Because of this, they can excuse him for anything. In their version of God's eyes, he is basically their new Messiah.

I don't think they listen to it. Fox is not going to play this nonsense in it's entirety. These people do not watch the news anyway. These are the q-anon zombies, conspiracy theory junkies who have no actual clue what is really going on. Trump knows he can just ramble a bunch of nonsense and they won't understand any of it. They don't know anything about Netan-yahoo, or hummus, or hez-bolus. It's willful ignorance with a big old serving of hate mixed in, wrapped in a confederate flag.

Thank you Jeff. Very grateful for your insights, especially so I don’t have to listen to the future “Prison Apprentice” -you can summarize for all of us.

How can any ally take the U.S. seriously? After Reagan, W., and then Drumpf, as well as Congressional insurrectionists like Gosar, Biggs, Jordan, Treasonous Tom Cotton, Josh “Hauls” Hawley, and many more -any other nation must look at us and assume that no educated, informed people would elect these sociopaths, the U.S. has gone to a random draft concept for leadership.

I can only guess Trump handed out classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago guests with his signature and a 10% off coupon to Trump Steaks. Or Trump University.

Any other person who breached critical security would be rotting in a prison (or in Russia, would have had their ability to fly from a 15th floor office window tested).

In America he’s running for another term.

They are deemed useful idiots by anyone who seeks to harm the United States, and no doubt bought at bargain prices.

Expand full comment

Indeed.

I believe it more than highly likely that multiple GOP reps sold us out before Trump & 2016. The B&E by the Russians into the DNC files is something many people are aware of. The "part2" of the GOP files? Not so much. The Republicans (and the press!) were very quiet about that. Trump has had money problems for decades. His biographies cover his "on a allowance" state of affairs with his banks in the early 90s. Of course, only "a great businessman" would go bankrupt 6x -with casinos no less, so his association with the Russian voy is no stretch of the imagination and likely a necessity since the 1980s when he took cash mortgages. Trump was only 1 of 2 real estate dev doing so in NYC then.

Earlier this year, Trump's accountant went to prison for the "2 sets of book practices" makes the speculation that Trump's main income for many years was money laudrying less a speculation than ever. That Trump Tower or the "Little Odessa" condos in FL were part of the chain of Trump Laundromats so to speak is especially more believable when DJT jr offers, my paraphrase, "we don't need banks with money from Russia in a interview ( approximately 2008-9, when credit was hard to find and more so for a serial bankrupt).

The GOP fundraising relationships with the same Russns? Check. When did that happen? In hindsight, the Citizens United SCOTUS case sure looks more like CYA for their dark money already flowing into political accounts.

These changes certainly explain the political U-turn from Reagan anti-communism to, "who our pal Putin?" and not because the USSR collapsed as governmentin 1991. The political culture and the nukes are still there, as an inconvenient history.

Expand full comment

Parts of the relationship were well-documented in the Mueller Report, and separately, rubles flowing into the NRA. And I doubt that nefarious relationships stop with Putin.

He’s dangerous being loose in society and add the platform he’s been given, WTF do we expect to happen?? We KNOW he loves dictators and wants to be one. FFS lock his traitorous fat stupid ass up! We only have ourselves to blame for this BS of allowing him to have free rein of terror. The dumbfuck GOP is too cowardly to shut him down. Why are we - the Justice system and the humanity system - allowing, nay-encouraging his terrorism?

Maybe Garland looked at 130 odd GOP in office after 1/6 and also fans in the DoJ and thought he couldn't do it, finding justice for the country. Bringing that traitor and past president was also too much until Congress brought it to light and embarrassed him further.

And why it's okey-dokey to hand the country over to evil foreign interests? Especially Russian, wtaf?

Expand full comment

Among the many, many horrific things that would happen should he somehow win the election is this: no country would share intelligence with us ever again. Nor would any country join any alliance with us. The rest of the world sees what the Republicans refuse to: the man has a significant mental health problem, coupled with an inability to self-censor himself the way normal people do. On top of that, he has no moral center whatsoever. His relationship with the world is purely transactional. All it took to trigger this egregious bullshit is for Netanyahu to thank Biden for his support.
