The essence of Donald Trump. This is his moral core. It isn't pretty. He's even worse now than he was then. He lives for getting even, especially when he's the one who should apologize.
50 years ago today, I had 7 weeks left in Vietnam, I turned 21 there, where I could already legally drink, and more not so legally.
I'm a lifetime union guy, it always makes me happy when my birthday is on Labor Day. I hope you all have a great day. As a birthday gift? Vote Blue!
It IS the point of the book, it should make people uncomfortable, it's how Black Americans were treated, despite the language, that was the NORM then. Everyone should read it, know the truth and it will set you free.
This fool did everything in his, and his daddy’s, power to avoid EVER putting on a uniform. This is an insult to every person who ever wore one, then, now, ever. This is a “picture” of a stinking coward .
@ACTBrigitte
Shame on both of you, all who think he’s a hero. He’s nothing.
I’m a senior. Tiredof people assuming seniors are republicans. That was true of the generation before mine but they’re rapidly dying off. Mine began in 1946, we’re boomers, marched for civil rights, women’s rights, peace. I’ve been liberal my whole life. I know many more like me.
Today is my 75th birthday. Three quarters of a century. I'm amazed. And grateful. I've seen a LOT over my lifetime, dirt poor on a farm, the Army, Vietnam, college, a career. Both sons preceded me but I'm still here, retired, Blue as ever. Life's both odd and wonderful. :^)
Trump had Rick Scott outside the courtroom today saying all the lies Trump is not allowed to say. I really hope Scott loses his seat in the Senate this fall, he is an awful man.
@r8dr4lfe75
Stupidity. It's an American tradition. When I finally bought my place 27 years ago, it cut my housing payment in half and now I own it outright. That's something every American should be able to do. Opposition from banks and rental owners is the reason why more can't.
I'm really tired of this slow moving game of musical chairs. Trump is guilty, he knows it, everyone knows it, his party, maybe not his cult, but every judge, every court, every reasonable person knows it, including SCOTUS, we SAW him, hear him. Just get this over with already.
Watched a few minutes of MSNBC’s coverage of the NH primary. Couldn’t stand another one. It just frosts me to no end to hear people call Trump, President Trump. He is, at best, former President. I hate when they call him that. Listening to their reasons made my skin crawl. Enough
I wouldn't trust this woman with anything, not since I saw her sitting at a table with Flynn at a banquet. I hope zero Democrats give her money or votes.
Didn't answer the question. Where's he cashing his checks? Keeps his money under his mattress? Pays cash for all that tuition? Or he's been lying on the disclosure forms all along, which I suspect is the truth.
I've just read the entire charging document, all 49 pages of it, I'm just blown away by what I read. I kept thinking, why? Why on earth did he do this? Why keep those documents? What did he think he could ever do with them? Apart from the narcissism of having them. He's toast.
This is ridiculous. McCarthy wants Biden to tell the courts to postpone Trump's trials? That is not the President's role. McCarthy knows it. What a moronic "request". He's retired voluntarily. Stay that way and STFU.
Late last night, Trump told reporters, when elected in November, he'll release the ten previous years of his personal tax filing and reveal his detailed plan to get all Americans covered by affordable healthcare.
Another unhinged rant, sloppily worded. No drugs are NOT easier to get than groceries, Don. Never were. The drugs come because there is a market for them. Putting people to death for using them? Not going to happen. You're the infestation we need get rid of most.
So, now I'm wondering when the official GOP apology will be coming given that they were completely taken in by Russian Intelligence and bought it all hook, line and, best of all, sinker.
This is a moron. He lives in a pricey suburb. I grew up on a dairy farm. We had guns, not ONE kept in the barn, not ONE cow EVER got aggressive, a bull will yes, but they’re kept apart. He has NO idea what he’s talking so foolishly about. Cows are the gentlest creatures on farms.
Minnesota State Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) says safe gun storage laws will keep farmers from protecting their families against cows.
"You even walk too close to a cow, and it'll take you down and trample you into dust."
@Acyn
She didn’t work at McDonald’s corporate but she never said she did. Dummy. Franchises are independently owned. A Presidential election and this is what you got? Weak, Don, even for you. Really weak. Why don’t you talk about Project 2025, your policy plan?
I don’t agree with Joe on everything, especially support for Netanyahu, but the idea of choosing Trump (who would do nothing different) over Joe is the difference between choosing our republic over Hitler’s Germany. We CAN disagree under Joe, under Trump we will not be able to.
You militia nimrods really think you can handle the US military? Try. One Seal team could take out the lot of you before you knew they were there. Idiots.
Negotiated, huh? That kind of went out the window when the South seceded and fired on Fort Sumter. He should have done some more reading, I think. Since he’s so fascinated. There’s more air in his head than brains.
Trump claims Civil War didn't have to happen: "You could've negotiated that ... this is something that could've been negotiated ... that was a tough one for our country ... if you negotiated it, you probably wouldn't even know who Abraham Lincoln was ... that would've been okay"
Recently Newsmax host Greg Kelly ripped into Taylor Swift fans for idolizing her stating: “If you look it up in the Bible, it’s a sin!”
Then what the fuck is this called?
I'm so cranky over current events, I almost missed the one thing I have always been happy about. Today is the 53rd anniversary of my discharge from the Army. Had just gotten back from Vietnam and was looking forward to starting college the next January. 10/25/70 a banner day.
I had a 42 year career in the legal system. I have looked pure evil in the eye, men who could not speak a sentence coherently without cruel profanity, beyond redemption, whose danger meant they could never walk freely among us. Their eyes looked like this, deadly, empty. Killers.
You’re right. What’s left of the generation before us may be, but I never have been, never will be, I’m further left now than when I turned 21. So are most of the people in my age group I know. The media knows not of what it speaks and hasn’t since cable channels popped up.
I wish the media would stop sticking all baby boomers in the Republican party. I’m still betting that the majority of us still have the same beliefs and are fighting to keep our rights. I have been a Democrat my entire life. I voted for Jimmy Carter. Hey boomers, are you a Dem?

Trump: Gettysburg. What an unbelievable battle. That was the battle of Gettysburg. What an unbelievable I mean, it was so much and so interesting and so vicious and horrible and so beautiful and so many different ways… Gettysburg wow
That guy would not have made it through basic training with me, he would have been washed out in the first month, if he got that far. He’s no kind of threat, not even to this 74 year old vet.
This amused me. We already know Trump has no manners, but his lawyers should have schooled him courtroom etiquette, no one rises before the judge leaves. Donnie is not the most important person in THAT room. I know he's mad, tough.
I’ve an ex pat friend living in Germany, he tells me that Americans really don’t get how nervous Europe is over the prospect of another Trump term. I tell him not to worry, but one can’t tell the world how to feel. All we can do is

This is THE reason behind our deficit issues. The solution is simple. Repeal the Bush and Trump tax cuts, fix the revenue problem and we'll be just fine. Nothing less will work. Remember those tax cuts are only for those who can easily pay what they ought.
Today is the 25th anniversary of my youngest son's suicide at 21. So, it's a day of quiet contemplation for me. Will be back tomorrow, I hope your weekends are wonderful.
This idiot somehow conflated Vietnam and Desert Storm, at least I think that’s what he said. There was NOTHING swift about Vietnam, the one you dodged with those horrible bone spurs (still bothering you are they?), what a moron he is. Beat him, convict him, put him away.
“Jungles in Viet Nam. A swift & swipp & you know that sweeping, it was swift like nobody’s ever seen anything happen, victory in Desert Storm…that was a quick one”- Donald Trump.
Thank you Desert Storm Vets for the quick one in Viet Nam 😳
#DementiaDon
Since Fani Willis no longer has a lead prosecutor and should not herself take that role, I’d suggest that she find the money to hire Neal Katyal who has a lot of experience trying high profile cases, he was part of Chauvin prosecution in MN. Wouldn’t that be a great idea?
BREAKING - ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF TUCKER CARLSON: A man has just been arrested in Moscow, accused of being paid by Ukrainian intelligence to plant an explosive device on Tucker Carlson's vehicle and assassinate the prominent American journalist while he was there to interview
Steve Bannon calls for the removal of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House: “Mike Johnson must go just like Kevin McCarthy.”
Democrats should do the right thing and save Mike Johnson from a motion to vacate.
This is the generation that leads us out of the wilderness. They’re going to change everything. They’re the future of America. It’s going to be wonderful.
Listen to this Gen Z explaining why he will vote for Joe Biden in November and also remember that in three years, he will be old enough to run for a house seat
This both true and funny. He's telling the SAME story in 1990 except Barbara Walters isn't having it. But it's the same song and dance he uses today. Just with worse, garbled, nonsensical words. And "fake" added in regards the media.
Just got three envelopes from Hakeem Jeffries, postpaid, which instead of checks got letters in them telling him, they get not a nickel from me until they stop trying to hand Trump the election and start supporting Joe Biden loudly and clearly. So angry with my party right now.
What a lunatic. It IS the American people criticizing you, they have been since your first day. Here's a clue, all of America does not reside in your ridiculously red district, outside that little bit of Americana you are loathed. By American people.
Johnson appoints Scott Perry (who begged for a pardon) and Ronny Jackson (Dr. Feel Good) to the House Intelligence Committee. Neither has any qualifications, neither could pass a background check. Neither should have access to national security secrets. What is Johnson doing?
You are a disgrace to your gender, to humanity, to everyone who isn’t white and has achieved SO much and will so much more. You don’t deserve to breathe the same air as normal people, what an awful example you are to little girls, and accomplished women, everywhere.

There are many ways to get a DNA sample. A court order is only one. But he doesn't get to refuse that, they can swab his cheek any time they want. If a court orders it, he complies or sits in jail under contempt charges until he complies. I'd like that part.
@MittRomney
Forgiving student loans, in fact, free higher education, including trade schools, is an investment in the future of America, ensuring we have the best educated workforce possible. False equivalencies don't help your argument, Mittens. Not at all.
“They” again with the no names. Let alone making any sense at all. This man is so fucking stupid it makes my head hurt even a short clip like this. Some cabal is trying to what? Shrink our windows? Christ on a cracker that’s dumb. History’s most moronic candidate.

If he thinks that will prevent the US military from removing him from the premises on 1/20/21 he is more delusional than I thought. I don't care how many of his storm troopers he lines up, they'll dig him out of his bunker and haul his ass off OUR property as their oath requires.
So, Twitter just made “likes” private. For our benefit. But that also means people who we want to know that we liked what they had to say won’t know that, unless we also respond - which is not useful despite what Twitter claims. I swear blind monkeys are running this place.

See my timeline, not all seniors, at least those under 75 are republicans, millions of us never were. We’re the silent majority in this election. I was annoyed you all think so and wrote this tweet. It’s true we are legion.
Once again he failed to mention that those tax cuts expire for everyone in that crowd. They only continue for the rich people who won't be seen near him anymore. Why these idiots buy that I'll never understand.
Trump: I will never let the Trump Tax Cuts be taken away and with your vote in this election, we will cut your taxes even further. That's why we had such a strong Economy.
Here’s news. “Don Hankey’s company agreed to a settlement with Trump’s DOJ after systematically violating the rights of military employees by illegally repossessing their cars.” That’s Trumps bond backer, prosecuted by President Obama. That’s who Trump called for help. DailyBeast
@APFactCheck
Well, you can delve deep into that twisted psyche and twist it however you want. "This is their new hoax" seems pretty clear to me, I don't care what he said later to mitigate it, or how misunderstood he is. He said what he said. That's all I needed to know.
Watching 60 Minutes. Trump was absolutely insane, mean stupid and lying. Antagonistic, he wasn’t there to answer questions, he was there to bully another woman. Then make his dramatic exit. They showed clips of him saying the things he denied saying. Incredible. But very Trump.
She really ripped up the entire charade here, holding nothing back and everyone in that room, or listening to her, knows she is right and that if there is a political witch hunt (as Trump loves to assert), it is the actions of this committee in proceeding knowing they’ve nothing.
Yo, Marge, there is NO President Trump, there is a former president Trump, is that who you mean? And Jamie Raskin outclasses you in every possible way, most clearly intellectually.
Raskin: Will you yield to a question?
Greene: No I will not yield to one your stupid questions that are always attacking me and President Trump
Raskin: How about a smart question?
Greene: You have no smart questions
A large group of retired generals, admirals, secretaries of branches has filed a lengthy brief with SCOTUS opposing, vehemently, Trump’s ludicrous idea that former presidents have absolute immunity. Their language is scathing, their argument sound. Jack Smith to file today also.
Has there ever been a worse president, or even man, than Donald Trump? Who never has anything good to say about anyone or anything that doesn’t benefit HIM some way? The world will be a better place with Trump in jail. The sooner the better.
So, they can't afford shoes but they can rifles? If either of those boys fired one of those rifles, they'd dislocate a shoulder. So this is what makes idiots proud? Gawd.

This is what a REAL New Yorker sounds like. Not the fake kind like the Trump clan. This young man has a future and is a fine example of his generation, he's also right in everything he says here. 👏👏👏
Ignore polls they are meaningless. Vote blue up and down ballot. Trump got 75 million votes in 2020, I bet he doesn't get 60 million this time, if he is the actual nominee. He loses more votes every time he opens his mouth and that will be more frequent as we get closer.
@JimInhofe
No, it does not. It has a moral obligation to the living, you don't care about the living or children once born. Your belief is religious. That is outside governmental purview. You have the right to not have an abortion, you do NOT have the right to control anyone else's body.

Absolutely as its effects still ripple through our society in every conceivable way. Critical Race Theory isn't a theory, it is our history and it should be taught in full. You cannot learn from the past if you refuse to acknowledge it.
This is not only the most despised Supreme Court in history, it is the most corrupt. It is not the third, impartial, branch of government the Founders designed, it is simply another arm of the Republican Party. .

@typo_cat
I still think we need a law that says if any elected official changes parties during their term, a special election is held as soon as possible. Because the turncoat just disenfranchised every citizen who voted for him/her.
Watching Andrew Weissman on MSNBC say that Cannon is giving jury instructions for a case that has no trial date yet is wrong, that she is applying the law wrong, Trump is not charged with violating the PRA, but the classified records act. How does she get removed for bias?
Joyce's words are always worth hearing and she's got this one straight to the heart of the matter. Only one party is interested in women's rights and eliminating misogyny.
