I wish they’d all walked out on him, en masse.

Jim, tRump's UNGA speech makes me ashamed to be an American. This should be the final straw for Republican Senators especially. Can we shame them for supporting such a madman? Blank-eyed Marco Rubio sits there like a zombie who sold his soul to the devil for access to raw fascist power. Sickening.

I don't see how our nation can survive much more of this. Thank you for your insightful analysis of this travesty.

Thanks for another great article. The most provable factoid seems to be whether that hat was the best:selling hat during the campaign. I think I only ever saw that hat on MTG. Later when MTG chose the side of releasing the Epstein pedo-files, that hat seemed to be in Trunp’s possession and he wore it, Could that hat have possibly been a. Bestselling hat, even if that is deliberate meaningless marketing vocab. Would a survey of rally crowds show any of those hats? If we don’t see them when we look into the crowds are we failing the test?

This deranged, depraved man is still the president. By what cowardice has such stupidity and greed been so wantonly condoned and relentlessly excused? This epic historic disaster will end like so many others in the past. It will be convulsive to its architects, resembling the spasms of a bound body jerking at the end of a rope, or the hard dull cracking sound of a head falling from a guillotine onto bare concrete -- that is, if 'history' has anything to say about it.

IMHO, widespread propaganda is one of the key factors in the downfall of the US. The right made deliberate decisions to control the narrative and began attacking the media as liberal about 50 years ago. That was not actually true, but the lie worked and they managed to destroy the credibility of media. Even today so any people will accuse the MSM of being liberal. That is absolutely crazy. Then Fox Noise came about and slowly turned up the heat on the frog in the pot. Today, it is so far out of control that Fox is tame compared to OAN and Newsmax. That's not to mention idiots like Alex Jones and qanon. I know lots of people who fell for Fox and that was all she wrote.

Forget his plethora of crimes, his disdain for the constitution, his cabinet of imbeciles, his constant grifting, his complete lack of empathy and his subservience to Putin, because just the utter embarrassment of this jackass representing you on the world stage, should be reason enough for Americans to exile trump permanently to a padded cell.

Yes. Every week I tell myself the situation cannot become worse than the previous week's outrage, but tRump never fails to rise up to the occasion and prove me wrong.

Ron Filipowski reported earlier today that a senior official from a foreign country (who the journalist did not name) said something along the lines of Trump being stark raving mad and don’t Americans notice this. Canada is moving on without us and I imagine so will other countries. This will not end well for the US, but we’ve known that for a while. We will persevere, never surrender to this fascist deranged cult, and hopefully we can pick up the pieces and rebuild when the time comes. Let’s aim to prevent this from happening again.

By the way, Filipowski quoted Jim in another part of his piece today.

The biggest worry IMHO is what he'll do before someone "stages an intervention," whatever that would be.
