All the more reason to clean house (and senate) thoroughly next time. Serious fumigation is imperative.

Actual patriotic behavior by these overpaid mollusks is frighteningly rare. And the slime they leave behind . . .

Trump claims he was first in his class at Wharton. He wasn’t. In fact, he wasn’t on the Dean’s list or Honor Roll but I know you’re not surprised.

I’d be surprised if Trump even knows how to add. Reducing prices by 100% means the item is free. If the reduction is 500%, the producer is paying you to use their product. That does not exist in the real world.

Trump is an idiot.

around him has successfully corrected him. Maybe they tried, and he got mad. Maybe he told them they were stupid, or that the public is too stupid to know better.

I gather he wandered around the White House and talked with the portraits.

Recession, despite the gold paint sprayed on a disastrous economy, eventually hurts all, and is hardly a distraction.

It's the simple consequence of concentrating yet more wealth in the hands of a few.

And economic hurt always has political consequences.

The coverup only stretches so far ...

The condemnation is universal--the delivery (shouting), the content (exaggeration) and the Trumpy showmanship (wearing thin). In addition, the question was posed: why did anyone in the WH think a national address was the way to go?

Announcing those $1776 checks to all military members, perhaps, or pay off your soldiers before demanding they follow unspeakable orders came to my twisted mind.

Truthfully? I listened to about 30 seconds of the speech last night. Couldn't stand it any longer. For those who watched/listened to the whole thing? You have my utmost respect.

He always pops Adderall before he speaks (he learned that from Hitler, who took meth) but, being demented, he can't control it any more, so he just yells, speaks fast and loud.
All he did was say " not my fault"..
