  1. Why, oh why, can't Cohen and his supporters say the obvious? "Of course I lied back then. I was on Trump's payroll. That was my job."

  2. Desert, mountains and empty rangelands don't vote.

  3. Often wrong, but always decent.

  4. @Curunir ​ I think there's an answer to that: Blagojevich and Kerik were both guilty as hell, but they are both the types who appeal to Trump's hardhat tough-guy followers. His pardoning them is clearly an appeal to the barstool Democrat vote, Blue-collar Pabst Blue voters. Milken was certainly guilty on a whole host of technicalities, but he has a wide following among financial types, including me: I think his insight into the irrationalities of the market were valuable. He's given a ton of money to good charities, paid $600 million in fines, put in his time in jail, so he's entitled to some sympathy. Color me 50-50 on that one. (Incidentally, I know of no evidence that Milken has ever been a Democrat: he's a pretty hard-ass floor-trader type, 95% likely to be a Republican. But in many ways a good guy.) DeBartolo was a straight out crook, trying to buy a gambling license. My guess is he appeals to Trump because he owns a football team -- going for the barstool vote again, doncha think?

  5. This is so silly I'm not going to let it distract me from my Chinese homework.

  6. What an incredible bunch of weirdies. I don't know whether they're genuine Trump people or paid actors, but either way they are just really strange critters, just stright off some flying saucer, latest express flight from Planet Fox presumably.

  7. The story doesn't add up: there is no way of collecting a fifty dollar bill from four or more different people, and there's no way of needing seven dollars change from two twenties and two fives. If you'd collected two twenties and two fives and didn't want to give much of a tip, you'd pay the two twenties and one five, wouldn't you?

  8.  @dorianshadesofgray  Don't forget, Trump was appointed by the Electoral College -- perfectly legally, under Constitutional mechanisms made for the slaveholders of 1789. He lost the election by three million votes.

  9.  @youareindenial4413  They're on the Admistration side, fool: Committee assignments are in the Congress.

  10. There is nothing hypocritical about Trump's McCain tweets: they are expressions of perfectly straightforward hatred. Hat Red Man tweets again! Nothing new here.

  11. Half right, Picket: the rule of law is not dead, just shoved a bit to the side. Karma may be slow sometimes, but it's still karma and it doesn't go away. Donald Trump is going to spend the rest of his life playing golf on lumpy greens of nine-hole courses of an Air Base Club Fed -- when he isn't commuting to court over his taxes, his civil suits, and his bankruptcies.

  12. Hope, yes. And it also tells us the necessity of a tough, grinding ground game with a solid appeal to inter-racial working-class solidarity.

  13.  @maximlevitski9425  Trump? Correct.

  14. C'mon, Chris, there's still some stuff in Washington that isn't nailed down. He needs a sea-wall for Mar-a-Lago, so he needs the Army Corps of Engineers to hold off the rising sea. That second-hand Boeing he flies, picked up cheap from some Arab gangster? He can cut himself a deal for an outgoing Air Force One if he returns to office. The yacht? What's a Navy for? Small hands do the Devil's work, Chris. Trump can find stuff to stay busy with, given the chance.

  15. He doesn't drink. I've always thought everything in the Middle East could be solved overnight if we could just get those guys to have a beer now and then. The least unreasonable of the Arab dictators have always been the ones who hit the arrack or the Scotch whisky on a regular schedule...

  16.  @yourfriendlyneighborhoodla2091  Most of the rioting has been caused by Trump's troops, Trump's attacks on legal demonstrations, and Trump's provocations. Some mischief has been done by delinquents and even more by Boogaloo Bois and other rightwing outsiders. None has been done by genuine BLM or AntiFa.

  17.  @busterboo8966  Um, because they don't want even ignorant people to get hurt maybe? Because other people being as hate-filled as yourself is false, perhaps, Buster?

  18.  @jasonfuchs4304  Emoluments at the Post Office hotel. Numerous subornings of perjury. Continual conspiracy to lie to the FBI and courts at every level. Evasion of taxes: he still hasn't reported the forgiveness of about $1.5 billion in Atlantic City debt placed with complaisant creditors. None of which he can escape through the Statute of Limitations... 😎👌👍😂

  19. And his bone spurs didn't act up?

  20.  @fairwarning4267  I think the answer to all your questions is yes. He's Commander in Chief of that very military you are mocking.

  21.  @neilprintz8428  Biden? Honesty, decency, intelligence, and basically sound moral values. Trade Policy: President Obama negotiated the TPP, a multi-national alliance of America and all its friends to stand up to China. Trump cancelled it in an infantile hissy-fit. Over and out.

  22. 2:42 "We're gonna get rid of drugs. And gangs. And people..." Yup. You got it all under control, Donnie.

  23. Bella, I doubt that he really has an agenda: his behavior is much too squirrely for a person with an agenda. I think he has a bunch of rules of thumb -- "win," "stick with your friends," "use deodorant" and so on -- and these help him somewhat, modulo the fact that the meanings of key terms like "win" and "friend" keep changing every damn day. A good rule when you're confronted with bad behavior is "Hate the act, not the person." As with Trump, so with poor Lindsey, I think our attitude should be personal sympathy for the poor stupid little bugger, but strict awareness that they are threats not merely to our interests but to the entire American experiment, the idea of a democratic republic, conceived in liberty and trying to become multi-racial, peaceful, wealthy, well-educated and decent -- all of which are works in progress. At best: i.e. when you don't have a bunch of clowns pulling in the opposite direction. Cheers, -dlj.

  24. Quit your bitching and whining, Kendra. Your self-centered rant is effective propaganda for Trump, not for sense, nor for the policies we'd both like to move forward.

  25. Most of the comments here are not really in the game. Here's something worth reading: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2020/03/26/democratic-party-cannot-hold/ I disagree with a good deal of it, but we should all get acquainted with the history and the issues.

  27. Keith, The United States of America gave its word. Your Trump fella is merely the temporary President of it. It isn't his word -- which everybody knows to be worthless. It's America's.

  28.  @44excalibur  Anonymous troll, "not let the socialists turn the USA into the USSR" are the words of a right-wing extremist. Sorry, fella, you've got to own it: you're one with the worst of the Republican/Trumpoid poison, an enemy of decent politics. And incidentally, "Poison Toad" has the meaning of "sarcasm" right, and you don't. His criticism of your misuse of language is spot on.

  29. Particle, Trump has juiced the healthy economy Obama and Yellen created with two trillion dollars in sugar, all of which shows up at the end as more goodies for the rich. He's handed the bill for it to your grandchildren. Very few of those ultra-richies are Democrats.

  32. Speaker Pelosi is brave, smart, and decent. You don't need a pair to get the important three.

  33.  @mikemissouri5152  Michael, Trump has never wanted anything but more strokes for Trump. Walls don't work. Remember the Great Wall of China -- to keep Ghengis Khan out? Ha! Hadrian's Wall? It was the Romans who ran away, the Scots who ended up ruling the joint. It's like Bush said, Trump is a "chaos President" -- for the very good reason that he doesn't care about America, he only thinks about himself.

  34. McCarthy needs to go over to that Army medical station in the Rayburn House Office Building (just down the hall from the cafeteria where the guys run the building's numbers game) and give them a urine sample: The earlier you start treating your Alzheimer's, Kevin, the more compensatory routines you can learn.

  37. And even a blind pig can find a truffle -- so Donnie Fats now says that wearing a mask in public places is "patriotic."

  38.  @rafaelortiz3305  Biden is honest, personally decent, rational, and respected. Fill in the rest yourself, Rafael: Trump is...

  39.  @yourfriendlyneighborhoodla2091  No BLM or AntiFa person has burned any Federal building. You're making stuff up. There has been some small-scale delinquency -- which is as nothing compared to Trump's subornation of un-Constitutional use of the military and violent misuse of Park Pollice.

  40. The Speaker's chair in the House of Reprentatives was already filled, and he didn't have the patience to wait for the Presidency in '24, so...

  41.  @conniehahn4577  Connie, We don't tax political parties or associations, either. Thus it seems silly to make the argument "tax them because they're political."

  42.  @torylivingston8368  You're being silly. Biden is an experienced and competent legislator and he is doing a fine competent job. Maybe you're confused because he doesn't give you your daily Trump screech and pose.

  43. @Gary Russ That increase in the Dow is the straight-line improvement Obama and Yellen established -- when they put the Bill Clinton economy back together. But Oops! There are two glitches in there: the GOP wrecking the economy in 2008 and Trump doing it again in 2020.

  44.  @deborahwalker5523  That's inarguable, Deborah, and I wish the same for you, too. Of course, you already know that the original Deborah was a respected and successful Israeli General of olden times -- and, further, Israeli Generals tend to be highly respected among the world's militaries... 😊 Best wishes.

  45. The word you're looking for may be "believing." "Trump" is a personal name, hence a proper noun, and thus takes a capital T. If you think I've treating you like an illiterate half-wit, I'd say no, don't exaggerate. Just half-wit will do. Obviously the people with the power to "put Trump away" are not posting on YouTube, so you're imagining things. And I've been to kentucky. No, you don't qualify; I'd say you're well down in the bottom half.

  46. Um, Oath of Office, anybody?

  47. Yes, there's an indictment. No, it has nothing to do with Clinton, nor with the sale of Uranium One to Russia. The indictment is of a Maryland businessman charged with money laundering,, and the company Uranium One is part of his modus op. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-president-maryland-based-transportation-company-indicted-11-counts-related-foreign Fake news hanging on a plausible but fake hook.
