Thanks Rick.

I think that the cruelty being the point is always (and how many things are 'always'?) an indicator that the perpetrator of the cruelty is a frightened and massively twisted homunculus of a person who gets off on the fantasies of genuine power to be had by throwing his weight around against those without the size or other means to push back. But I tell you what, Rick, and I hope you are among those of us who would rather push back than cower like a wuss, if Trump should ever think to kick me while I'm down I'd grab hold of one of his cankles and sink my canines into it as far as they could get. And nevermind whatever viruses he's probably harboring in his bloodstream. Some things are just worth the risk.

I’ll be glad when, for whatever reason, Trump can no longer speak. The sissy way he speaks and the weak sound of his voice make me feel violent.

At this point I’m so consumed with rage at this thug and his goon Greek chorus, that I can’t look at or hear him or his hideous crew of sycophants without extreme nausea setting in. He’s basically running a mob operation out that grotesque Saddam decorated office where people come in to be bribed, cajoled or dismissed like a scene out of the Godfather without Brando’s charisma.

It all started with Fred Koch building Stalins oil refinery’s. Follow the condensed time line - John Birch, dominate domestic oil refining/agribusiness/forest products/brands, AFP, ALEC, tea party, MAGA, bro-liarchy,

Where is Congress? Oh, yeah, that’s right. Prostrate to this fascist fuck, or worse.

Yep. Time to clean house on several fronts, before the whole neighborhood burns down.

" Republicans are terrified to admit their Dear Leader has turned into a communist in a red hat. "

Can we please stop waiting for these chuckleheads to turn on him? Become 'normal'?

The idea that there will be any meaningful loss of support or defections is wishful thinking.

Saw a clip today of a farmer whose entire crop of strawberries is dead. Because of Trump's policies. The farmer still supports him

I could write 20 of those every day, and I'd still be missing another 20. Or 50.

One can only hope the Grim Reaper is coming for him soon.

He’s a crook modeling himself on Putin. Like all corrupt dictators, he’s stealing from his own people. In 50 years or less, when people look back on his speeches, people will scratch their heads and ask in disbelief, how could anyone have believed him? Especially in his second term, he’s such an obvious fraud, so obviously a corrupt conman. His voice, his words, his facial expressions. It could not be more obvious.

Full of good information. The only part I didn’t like was sitting through Morning Joe, which I swore I would never watch again.

Except everything Trump touches dies. In this case, Intel has been circling the drain very publicly for a long time. Buying a piece of Intel now is about as shrewd as being bullish on Sears.

Rick, you proved you point quite well. But listening to those darn videos of Trump speaking made sick when I first heard them and make me sick now. Trump and his goons are exactly what they are saying everyone else is. Sure, need to make American smart again. Trump and his evil doers aren't helping. Thanks for keeping on top of all of this. Take care.
