As usual, spot on, Rick. The only thing I would suggest is that it’s not that they cared more for Trump, they cared for being in power and are loathe to give that up. They don’t give a damn about Trump, they want his base,
Rick and everyone reading these comments: please join me in giving Trump yet another nickname: Ozymandoofus. Fits him like a glove, or an XX size prison jumpsuit, don't you think?
Incognito or something like it should be free. It should provide support to all of us against this invasion of privacy. Better yet it should be criminal for this invasion to be done. I remember years ago I used to be able to have an unpublished phone number and then no more. Who paid who to have that end? When you really think about it, our congress and their rich lobbyists really don’t give a dam about the average citizen. Clinton wouldn’t stand up to internet regulation and look what it is now.
If I didn’t request it you can’t do it.
Where and when did that fuck-up happen. Exactly when was. internet and IA and blah blah given a free ride. But me, little old lady me, no concern, just an increase in costs for Medicare and if I gamble a little hoping for a win, the IRS fucks me over again. Me, the retiree 😂😂
Thanks, Rick: Vote early, and ensure you vote, no sitting this election out and correct everyone of the GOP House and Senate members running who sucked up to the fellow who may not be on the ballot but who agreed to and enabled his draconian acts. Tie Trump to everyone. Send them all packing. Clean up this nightmare.
Glad this is not behind a paywall. This is a direct descendant of the works of Thomas Paine.
If Trump's little AI pals don't wipe us all out, this should be read and admired for generations as a stark contrast to the limp, artificial sloppage generated by bots.
For now, it should be circulated as much as possible.
You can still register to vote this Monday October 5 in Texas.
Fabulous, now get out and VOTE!
Rick, this is truly one of your most brilliant pieces ever. Every word delivers the sting of truth cranked up to 11.
Rick, let's remind everyone of Trump's failings. Here's one few folks are talking about.
Trump will be the first US President in history with a negative net jobs number at the end of two full terms!!
Democrats, by the way, have presided over 97 percent of all jobs created since 1989.
Thank you
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: — Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed
And on the pedestal these words appear
‚My name is Ozymandias, king of kings
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!‘
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Exactly. But we all have to get our lazy asses off the couch and vote.
Thank you for the nice article, Rick . It seems Trump is in for the worse thumping during the election campaign in November.
As usual, spot on, Rick. The only thing I would suggest is that it’s not that they cared more for Trump, they cared for being in power and are loathe to give that up. They don’t give a damn about Trump, they want his base,
Dems can still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They excel at that

Yes ma'am...our golden years, ha...thanks to the insurrectionist in chief...

"It’s hard to sell a long-haul trucker on the imaginary risk of commie lizard people when he can’t afford to fill his truck."
Like this trucker in deep Red Kansas. It cost him over $1,400 to fill up his semi. I think it's starting to sink in - it's Trump who did that.
