As predicted.

NEW: Four years after GOP lawmakers in Georgia enacted one of the most aggressive anti-voting laws in the country, new evidence filed in federal court shows that Senate Bill 202 has drastically deepened racial inequalities in voting access in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go.

*Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

Using "satire" to make the point that you want to defecate on half of America isn't what we should expect from a adult, well-adjusted president.

Mike Johnson is the weakest, most useless Speaker in history. And he isn't remotely a follower of the teachings of Jesus.

I showed a relative the video Trump posted of himself taking a literal sh*t on the country, and she immediately stopped wavering and filled out her ballot “Yes” on 50.

Talk to your people! Many of them are not terminally online like you are.

That goes doubly for those of you in NJ and VA.

I'm sure that Trump being *obsessed* with undermining Venezuela has NOTHING to do with the fact that it competes with his authoritarian pals in Russia and Saudi Arabia in selling oil.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

ICE increased weapons spending by 700% — including purchases of chemical weapons and guided missile warheads.

ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans.

Pay attention.

Bottom line is well adjusted adults do not act like this; more to the point well adjusted children wouldn’t either. Trump saw a vulgar AI video, and decided that vulgarity represented his position.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.
