Anything new? Or just continued regurgitations?

Rick, you inspired me to bang out another quick short post on the "Lyin' King."

I expect to get a lot of denial, defence, and deflection from his True Believers.

First, let me state unequivocally: Rick Wilson is a gem. I LMAO, as the kids used to say, at his pithy, caustic, clear eyed assessments.

Secondly, Rick, while I fully understand your cautionary note about Trump allowing the political professionals to "tame" the diarrhea of id that typically blasts out of his gob, do you really think he will tow their line, over time? He has shown, on numerous occasions, that no one can do this for any length of time, and that the usual nihilistic Trump stream-of-consciousness belligerence will ove come any attempt to "groom" him for acceptable discourse.

You know, you work in a field with a higher than average percentage of functioning sociopaths and moral vacuums. Good for you that you’ve retained a sense of right and wrong.

Now that he has the field to himself, how long until he blurts out the n-word into a hot mike? I say 60 at the most.

60 days that is. He may also favor us with his imitation of Jose Jimenez crossing the Rio Grande.

And now we see-> as no surprise whatsoever <-Mango Mussolini throws the good Ms. Haley under the bus, then ties her to the bumper of the bus to drag her through town. Until she loses all her friend.

When will they ever learn, loyalty with Herr Agolf is a one-way deal that is never reciprocated unless there's going to be a larger benefit to the baby-Fuhrer.

Takers only give when they can take something in return.

Excellent usage of "crapulous." Now I'm going to figure out a way to use it in a sentence.

Does The Lincoln Project have a suggestion box? If so (or even if not, let's be real), I think it's time for another "Trump Isn't Well" ad. It has to include the rant about how wet magnets don't work.

Reminds me of; we stay because we believe, we leave because we are disillusioned, we come back because we are lost.

Another splendid piece, RW. The MAGA’s Dear Orangutan may be calmed by his new trainers in short bursts, but with his daily hit of 10 to 15 fully caffeinated Diet Cokes in his prodigious gut, only a dart gun will keep this hyper-reactive 10 car pile-up weakling in check. Excellent.

Ron DeSantis was supposed to be the Great Right Hope. Instead he’s the Great Right Nope.

Guess true MAGA “ patriots” like their presidential candidates less tethered to reality and with big jugs of whine to keep them swallowing Trump’s po’ me schtick.

For sure. And here's the irony: Miller comes from a successful, well-respected Jewish family, who came to the U.S. to escape the Nazis back in the 1930s. Yes, immigrants! The only reason Miller has a life, and that life is in the U.S., is due to his relatives from his mother's side. Miller is a disgrace to his uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, etc., who abhor his xenophobic and anti-immigrant policies. He's a stain on his family. Miller's Uncle, Dr. David Glosser, has written about him. Miller's an ungrateful, hateful, spiteful bigot, and those are the kindest things anyone can say about him.
