  1. How much money did Trump and his FOXed Noise buddies make off their little state-sponsored pump-and-dump stock play?
    440
  2. This is about what happens when you let your drunk, senile, elderly, FOX-Noise-addicted, racist uncle cosplay at being president for awhile.
    185
  3. America has officially lost it. Seriously, what other country has got angry people bringing assault rifles to protest necessary health measures during a global pandemic, while the president openly encourages protest in states where the governor is from the opposite party? That's beyond insane.

  4. There are housecats with more than a million followers on Insta. The perp must live in a fishbowl if he thinks 3K is impressive.

  5. I wish the camera had panned out to show the faces of the people nearby. Their facial expressions would have been hilarious.

  6. Huckabee has grown to like the taste of Russian dressing on Trump word salad, obviously. He thinks it's the greatest thing and we should all be eating it!

  7. Bad analogy, but it's like this: Newbie skydiver: "Hey, I've slowed down a bit. Can I take off this stupid parachute now? It's chafing."

  8. The joystick snapped off in Trump's hand back on election day, and since then, just like a chimp tasked with landing a 747, his only response has been to shriek and pound the controls.

  9. Every red state needs ads like that. What kind of frigging kangaroo court is it when the sympathetic jurors get to decide if there are witnesses or not? Without witnesses & evidence and discussion of those things, it's not a trial, it's a cover-up.

  10. Laughably doomed. It's only a matter of time before it becomes the next 4chan or 8chan, where mass shooters post their manifestos which strangely echo Trump's words, then it get shut down.

  11. How long before FOXed Noise and the rest of the RWNJ loons start referring to Bolton as that deepstate librul plant, a never-Trumper, someone who was appointed by Obama?
    39
  12. After weeks of FOXed screaming "Liberate!" this smells like future disclaimer material. Even the MAGAtards can see what's coming next: a wave of infections (and a later wave of deaths) in the states where people were dumb enough to take their advice.

  13. Joe is playing nicey-nice with the guy who wants to burn everything down. Sigh.
    32
  14. The phrase "rhetorical hyperbole" will never be the same by the time the Republicans stop using it as an excuse for every lie.

  15. All to feed the paranoia and race-supremacy needs of Trump's reconstituted Reich :(

  16. Some people in the USA have trouble understanding that just because they've gotten tired of staycationing with their Netflix and legal weed and munchies, it doesn't mean the virus has gone away.

  17. Imagine that. You mean, all the time those propagandized, delusional loons were sending her death threats and chanting "Lock her up!", there was not in fact any actual crime she had committed? Who would have thought? </sarc>

  18. Prominent conservatives saw this day coming years ago, and tried to warn everyone. Here are their own words: “If we nominate Tяump, we will get destroyed .. and we will deserve it” -- Lindsey Graham, May 3 2016. “This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth, and in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology text book, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist - a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen." -- Ted Cruz May 3 2016. "Donald Tяump is not a conservative Republican. He's an opportunist. He's not fit to be President of the United States." -- Lindsey Graham Feb 17 2016.

  19. Well, children, we have 73.9 million voters who were perfectly OK with Trump even though he checks off every single box on the "characteristics of fascism" list. Given that those people are voting for the coronavirus presently (by not masking or distancing) we're going to have an interesting winter.
    17
  20. To him, they're all crisis actors anyway, hired by the Obamas to make him look bad.
    14
  21. Trump has at least 3 personalities. There's the one that's forced to read prepared stuff, and he hates that so he sulks about it in public. Then there's the one who talks to his base via FOXed Noise. Then there's the angry child who has Twitter tantrums. 2 of those 3 personalities think that the 2,227 dead Americans so far from this are just crisis actors trying to make him look bad and that the whole thing is just a desperate libtard hoax.
    13
  22. Considering how Trump complains that more cases are found when more tests are performed, and how he doesn't want "his numbers" to look bad, the USA is probably destined to measure the impact of coronavirus by the soon to be vast numbers of people found dead in their own homes.

  23.  @Chuck26814  Well, if you want a gym or coffeeshop to be open right while a deadly disease is killing ~4K Americans per day, just go to your local business licensing board and apply for a license to kill no more than, say, 10 people per month. Easy peasy. Because that's what will happen if too many businesses are open. You're looking at this from the POV of a human. Try looking at it from the point-of-view of the virus. This has nothing to do with politics. For each normal pre-pandemic human activity, you can derive a "how easily could the virus spread from person to person" factor that's dependent on the following variables: - Is it indoors? - Are there people from different households there? - How good is the air circulation? - How close do people get to each other? - How long are random people in the close presence of each other? Supermarkets, and other large stores that can afford to upgrade their air circulation, are doing mostly OK in terms of not spreading the virus from customer to customer. The same unfortunately cannot be said for the workers in those places, or for stores where they can't afford to implement these measures. The authorities have had to make some hard decisions. Unless we're prepared to deliver food to everyone's homes (as China did during the worst of their lockdown back in Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr) we must keep those stores open. But everything else should probably stay closed. The alternative is going to look like 5000, then 8000 or more deaths per day.

  24. Remember when he had to stop showing his face in unvetted public places? It was great the way he got booed. No doubt Nicolae Ceausescu too was pained to learn how unpopular he really was.

  25. Trump's denial that he doesn't know Parnas is worth about as much as a degree from Trump University .. which is to say worthless.
    12
  26. Well, to be fair, the Republicans are all for states rights until suddenly they're not .. all for small government until suddenly they're not .. all for the free market until suddenly they're not. I've seen weathervanes in the shifty New England wind, atop an old barn, that are more steadfast than Republicans.

  27. The government owns the USGPO (government printing office) just for that reason. If the government needed to print up ration booklets and war posters, that's who would handle the job.

  28. I would like to personally thank the Republicans for insisting on public hearings. They were right, Americans deserve to hear this stuff. Republicans did a fantastic Baghdad Bob impression. Gym Jordan fulfilled my every expectation, like when he questioned Bill Taylor: Jordan: Who was at the meeting? Taylor: What meeting? Jordan: The meeting that didn't happen!

  29. Somewhere out there, a used car lot in rural Georgia is missing its huckster salesman.

  30.  @Chuck26814  Read what I wrote. Big stores have more capability to increase ventilation, make sure their workforce is appropriately masked, enforce distancing, etc than mom-and-pop stores. Is it unfair? I won't deny that. But the alternative is to let them spread disease among the local population, and that's just plain unacceptable in case you hadn't noticed.

  31. From the way Don-the-con is holding onto vital evidence, we may safely assume it's such damning stuff that he'd get a lot worse than just removed from power. Heck, I want to see the translator's notes from his initial meetings with Putin.

  32. The schoolyard bully just sucker-punched the Islamic kid, then screamed that if he fights back he'll get hurt even worse. Makes you wish everyone would teach the bully some lessons in humility and consent.

  33. That's what happens when you get medical guidance from politicians and propagandists.

  34. This season, don't forget to trigger a few kkkonservatives by wishing them "happy holidays" ;)

  35. Obstruction, emoluments, corruption, bribery, extortion, inciting stochiastic terror, violating international law on refugees, crimes against humanity - bring on all the charges.

  36. Where's that meme of a reaper drone, with the caption "From your cold, dead hands, you said? Challenge accepted!"

  37. Perhaps sometime in the future we could haul Trump before the Hague to answer for crimes like this? One can only hope.

  38. "Reversing the election" is one of the many lies the conservatives have been telling themselves (and each other) while the rest of the world laughs at them. Impeachment was never about reversing an election, not when it happened to Clinton, not when it was about to happen to Nixon, and not when it happened to Jackson. Sadly, conservatives lost their little minds when a black man got elected TWICE to be president, and won BOTH the popular vote and the EC each time.

  39. I expect there will be an investigation of the role of the Trump-Hannity relationship in manufacturing consent by Trump using FOXed as a mouthpiece and then quoting what they said (at his direction) as "news". All because they hitched their stars to the Flim Flam Man.

  40. That word salad goes best with .. dare I say? .. Russian dressing.

  41. This is a good time to go watch that video again about the Republicans yapping about the free market and gay wedding cakes. How quickly they forget. It's as if irony is not only a closed book to them, but a burned and buried book as well. (h/t Douglas Adams)

  42.  @GeraldHarris-cf2zh  As with the US wars against Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada, Cuba, Viet Nam, North Korea, etc, there was and has never been any danger of those distant places making war on America in any big sense, such as sending aircraft carriers to soften us up, then landing troops on the beach in California. But few Americans realize this.

  43. His stupidity, venality, and corruption were on full display for decades before he got the Republican nomination. Even conservatives cannot later claim that they didn't know how toxic Trump was, that they didn't know what kind of a person he was. Here's what some conservatives had to say about Trump, in their own words: “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed .. and we will deserve it” -- Lindsey Graham, May 3 2016. “This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth, and in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology text book, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist - a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen." -- Ted Cruz May 3 2016. "Donald Trump is not a conservative Republican. He's an opportunist. He's not fit to be President of the United States." -- Lindsey Graham Feb 17 2016.

  44. Since when has Trump ever been gracious? Are they planning on doing a brain transplant on him or something?

  45. In the same way that I prefer presidents who haven't been impeached, I also prefer relatives who aren't dumb enough to fall for the stupidest propaganda that wouldn't fool a cat. Guess there are others who feel the same way.

  46. I assume he did a lot of botox injections just before the event to dull his facial expressions.

  47. If there's anyone in America who hadn't yet figured out that no minority is safe from Trump and his MAGA brownshirts, they just haven't been paying attention or they're suffering from wishful thinking. Trump has been systematically probing to see what our republic will tolerate. Having established the precedent of removing one minority from the military, he can follow with others - nonwhites, Jews, gay or bi people, non-xtians, whatever. Having established the precedent of vilifying and then putting into the camps one ethnonationalist minority (Hispanics from south of the border), he can follow with others - perhaps nonwhite Americans who didn't vote for him? The directed violence that follows Trump's followers ought to have been a severe wake-up call to America years ago. Must we learn the hard way the lesson that Germany already learned - that the one thing you cannot tolerate in a free and open society is intolerance?

  49. I don't get it. Usually cancer takes good people. Why the sudden change of policy?
