The gravest threat to our country today is the FACT that our president, Donald J. Trump, has dementia. He'll never get better. He WILL get worse. And the question of what happens next becomes more pressing every day. Why isn't everyone talking about that?

Let's go over the reasons why Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison—and why she absolutely deserves to remain there, unpardoned, with no immunity.

You can watch the video or read the captions.

We'll do this slowly so everyone can follow along. (1/4)

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

The president of the United States, begging for a prize like a daytime TV producer campaigning for an Emmy.

He practically placed ads:

"For your consideration: A tough negotiator who ended seven to ten wars in his own imagination. A legend in his own mind." 🙄

Yes, so embarrassing.

Thank you, Congressman Raskin!

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Resilience, thy name is Nutmeg. 😍 🥰 😘

We could learn something from this little lady.

This is our dog Nutmeg.

She will be 12 this month. She lost her eyesight gradually a couple of years ago. We knew she had cataracts from her milky eyes, but one day we realised they had got pretty bad. (How we realised how bad they had got is another story I will post on here at some point).

Seriously, MAGA: How did you see it turning out well, when you voted to give Donald Trump and Republicans another turn?

They're doing everything shitty they did the first time, only worse, with military occupation of our cities as the rancid cherry on top.

Anyone else sorta remember a Saturday morning cartoon featuring Wolfman Jack?

I do—but I don't recall it being in the 1980s.

Can't imagine why it wasn't a hit—TODD wrote a song about Wolfman Jack, it don't get cooler than that, baby!

I sorta remember this show. Or maybe it was a different Wolfman cartoon?

Anyway, I can't believe it wasn't a hit—TODD wrote a song about Wolfman Jack, you don't get cooler than that, baby!

He is SUCH a little turd.

No other word suffices: Wrung dry of nutrients. Stinks to high heaven—but he can't smell it. Using that nasal, "Let's be reasonable" voice, dripping with insincerity.

Sometimes I hope he's right, there IS a heaven—and we get to watch him evicted for using that voice.

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

She was shocked.

"Well, I wouldn't want ... SOCIALISM." she breathed.

You might be amazed at how easy it is to frighten rural right-wingers with that word.

I own horses and board them at a place that also gives lessons. One night a girl took a bad fall during her lesson. Helmets are mandatory but I could see her bell had been rung pretty hard. She didn't have ...

They look like couch potatoes NOW.

Wait until Kegbreath gets his hands on them! Push-ups! Pull-ups! Wind sprints! Burpies!

90 days of that, and ICE agents will look like ...

... couch potatoes, only wearing trusses and knee braces.

Like many ridiculous theories, that one came out of Vietnam.

Because some Democrats had a problem with sending our young men thousands of miles away to fight in someone else's civil war.

What strategy?

Collecting a paycheck and benefits without working for them isn’t a strategy; it’s gold-bricking.

Get back to work, ya slackers.

The only way Sec. Kegbreath could be a bigger joke is if we found out he wears lacy bikini panties and bra when relaxing at home.
