RFK’s disgraceful interaction with Dana Bash was quite informative. He’s like the crazy brother-in-law that does his own “research” on the net and comes up with complete conspiratorial nonsense. Trump’s premise is that experts are all wrong, truth are lies and up is down. Dangerous and vile con.

The full restoration of the East Wing should be on the Democratic 2028 ticket’s platform. Nothing less will do to help erase the stain of corruption and criminality that the treasonous slob is leaving behind him. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“The latest surveys indicate that Mr. Trump is now all but the most unpopular second-term president at this stage of their tenure in the history of polling going back to the 1940s.” Nixon was lower just days before he resigned. Wish this treasonous slob would also. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Trump’s appointments are all clowns reflecting his reality tv conman approach to “governing”. If it wasn’t so predictably pathetic and dangerous - the demolishing of the rule of law! - it would be funny. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

The extraordinarily glib Warsh would be well advised to either speak less - because he has such little of substance to say - or hold fewer meetings. Either way, it’s clear why Trump chose him. He looks good but is not very clever, his favorite kind of person. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/b...

Warsh Considers Reducing Frequency of Fed Policy Meetings

The Federal Reserve has met at least eight times a year for decades. Reducing the number of meetings would represent the biggest change by Kevin M. Warsh since he became chairman.

Trump is a quintessential “shithole country” president - corrupt, megalomaniacal, vengeful, deluded and power-drunk. He’s happy to destroy the country he pretends to love for his easily duped supporters. His name will live in infamy. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

American politics has become a clear reflection of Trump - the ugliest of ugly American. If the country is to recover, it will require a Nuremberg-style trial against every single member of the cruel, corrupt and inhumane administration.

“Musk spends a large part of his free time fomenting violence and spreading the same hateful ideology that motivated some of the deadliest shootings and attacks ever to happen on American soil.” The Economist interview clearly demonstrates his ignorance & stupidity. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...

Very disappointed with MS NOW, CNN and the NY Times for their wall-to-wall coverage of the Senate Republican demonization of a great American public servant. More Republican voters died than Democrats because of the conspiracies spread by rightwing monetizers. Enough is enough.

We must never forget that the ONE person to blame for the Trump administration’s decisions and policies on the COVID-19 pandemic is the corrupt and treasonous slob himself. No amount of obfuscation and blaming of Dr. Fauci can ever erase this basic fact.
