Not holding my breath for all the faux patriotic Republicans and Chicken Hawks to condemn this latest outrage from Dear Leader.


BTW, this article is one of the most devastating pieces on Trump I've ever read. None of it is surprising, but the clarity in which it maps out the pathology of this guy's mind wherein he literally cannot grasp the point of serving anything unless there is something for him to gain personally is why he disdains military people so consistently. They're all suckers to him. Just like the rest of humanity, but even worse as there is no act of sacrifice that can be understood by him. To be precise, he is 100% sociopathic with no capacity for empathy. How does anyone support a president who has no concept of service? To support Trump means you're either a sociopath yourself or are deeply ignorant of the implications for the future his true nature foretells.

Totally Clyde. Not only is Trump the worst president we’ve ever had, but he’s the most despicable human being to ever occupy the office (and we’ve had more than our fair share of cretins in the past - A. Jackson, J. Buchanan, A. Johnson, Nixon, to name a few).

The only ones still supporting Trump are quislings, grifters, racists, rubes, the mentally ill, or some combination thereof.

But stating facts doesn’t violate the ToS, does it?

I think the line on Trump pretty clearly defined. There's really no middle ground or gray area for debate on how we feel about him both as President and as a person. We're beating a dead horse is what I'm trying to say.

Look I don’t disagree with you, but it could be seen as painting Trump supporters with a broad brush. Trust me I know exactly where you’re coming from but rules are rules I guess.

Here’s the thing I don’t understand. Why is there silence from people like John Kelly and James Mathis? Don’t these **** realize that Trump absolutely has contempt for them and the like? Trump blatantly disrespects the memory of John Kelly’s dead son and he remains silent like a bitch. They could come out and do interviews on all the major networks and just plainly lay out all the **** they’ve seen under Trump. A lot of people would swing to Biden if these guys exposed just how corrupt Trump is. It can’t be the money because they’d be rich either way. It’s either they agree with upholding white supremacy or they’ve bought into the Trump ideology over their oath to the constitution.

Anybody follow the Odd Lots podcast? The latest was a fascinating discussion with Paul McCulley, an economist, on central bank independence and the relationship between capitalism and democracy, fiscal and monetary policy, and some really interesting questions in fundamental economic theory such as, do we really know what causes inflation.

https://www.bloomberg.com/podcasts/odd_lots

Since it's impossible to separate politics from economics, I find it helpful to understand another perspective on why things are the way they are.

Also, spoiler, the fact that no one has a good working model for how inflation functions anymore should scare the crap out of us, but also begs the question, did we ever really know?

They have both come out publicly in opposition to Trump. Google disavow Trump with either Mathis or Kelly and you should hit paydirt.

standard economic logic would suggest we should already be in a hyper-inflationary state with the amount of money printed, but that has not been the case. What would cause that now would be the great unstability of a fascist takeover, because America would go chaotic and revolts and inter-racial and inter-factional wars would happen at the street level. So I think we could be walking close to that precipice, but maybe we can withstand even that for a few months, but not past the inauguration date. If Biden is not sworn in on January 21st, then the economic bottom will fall out IMO. At the end of the day, even with all of the fat cat tax cuts and handouts in the world, the money still prefers stability. Trump = chaos so the clock is ticking

I was extremely disappointed that one of them didn't put a bullet in the back of Trump's skull. I actually thought Kelly might have the guts to "take one for the country." Oh well.

Well, according to republicans, they encourage citizens to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights whenever they feel like lawlessness is occurring. So? Their rules. Of course, I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of their position.

That said, I don't know if you are old enough to remember but I remember the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and Bobby Kennedy. I was young, but I still remember each one. And then I see this complete POS ass clown tearing apart families and ruining the country. I did a happy dance when Scalia died. I'd do backwards flips if Trump choked on a ham sandwich.

At the very least, the Joint Chiefs of Staff should have bullied the VP into initiating proceedings under the 25th Amendment to have Trump removed ... humanely. :D

Totally Clyde. Not only is Trump the worst president we’ve ever had, but he’s the most despicable human being to ever occupy the office (and we’ve had more than our fair share of cretins in the past - A. Jackson, J. Buchanan, A. Johnson, Nixon, to name a few).

Trump may be a garbage human being but he still got nothing on jackson, or wilson

I was extremely disappointed that one of them didn't put a bullet in the back of Trump's skull. I actually thought Kelly might have the guts to "take one for the country." Oh well.


It's gruesome, but Trump is just as evil as Hitler so these thoughts are bound to occur


Well, according to republicans, they encourage citizens to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights whenever they feel like lawlessness is occurring. So? Their rules. Of course, I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of their position.

That said, I don't know if you are old enough to remember but I remember the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and Bobby Kennedy. I was young, but I still remember each one. And then I see this complete POS ass clown tearing apart families and ruining the country. I did a happy dance when Scalia died. I'd do backwards flips if Trump choked on a ham sandwich.

At the very least, the Joint Chiefs of Staff should have bullied the VP into initiating proceedings under the 25th Amendment to have Trump removed ... humanely. :D


I wear a gas mask when I go into a Walmart or a Wawa. I get looks. I don't care. Local ordinance requires a mask but most employees are afraid to confront the ones not wearing them. Today as I went in to Wawa out came a big ole boy with no mask and he stared me down. Got into his pickup and pointed to me from inside and I turned and looked at him. Him and his buddy were obviously talking some crap about liberal puzzies. They had Trump flags flying from the back of their truck.

Because I stared back at him he then ran his thumb across his neck in the cutting motion. I felt like doing it, but these days I don't flip the bird. I don't need these psychos seeing what I drive and getting my plates. They're not well so not worth the risk.

These guys are everywhere. They're in Long Island, PA, FL, it doesn't really matter where you go, they're around. And some of them are strapping. And some of them are the boogaloos looking to throw down. The guy I saw today would gut me like a pig in the right circumstances. There is violence in the air. You can feel it.

And we know these people were around before, but now they feel empowered. This is all about Trump now. You see one of these guys and you know instantly they support Trump. All manners have been stripped bare from their interactions. If you trigger them in any way they go off. I've seen it repeatedly. I guess I didn't realize how many white people were so full of rage, but it sure seems like there is a massive amount of them who just want to express anger.

It's was basically apolitical until Trump as many of them had no interest in politics. But Trump put a face to their feelings and now they feel like they have the top dog in the country backing them. That changed the whole nature of our society. I don't know if the genie will go back in the bottle after this, but there sure are a lot of these pissed off, barely literate white dudes driving around with arsenals in their pickups. Several of my neighbors walk around with pistols in their waistbands. It's just a mess.

BTW, this article is one of the most devastating pieces on Trump I've ever read. None of it is surprising, but the clarity in which it maps out the pathology of this guy's mind wherein he literally cannot grasp the point of serving anything unless there is something for him to gain personally is why he disdains military people so consistently. They're all suckers to him. Just like the rest of humanity, but even worse as there is no act of sacrifice that can be understood by him. To be precise, he is 100% sociopathic with no capacity for empathy. How does anyone support a president who has no concept of service? To support Trump means you're either a sociopath yourself or are deeply ignorant of the implications for the future his true nature foretells.

Totally Clyde. Not only is Trump the worst president we’ve ever had, but he’s the most despicable human being to ever occupy the office (and we’ve had more than our fair share of cretins in the past - A. Jackson, J. Buchanan, A. Johnson, Nixon, to name a few).

Trump may be a garbage human being but he still got nothing on jackson, or wilson


Maybe, but don't you think that because of the advancements in weaponry and technology, along with the advent of imminent and dire climate change consequences, that Trump can do much more damage?
