Not one adult in Trump's inner circle is willing to tell him that Portland isn't burning.

Not one Republican senator. Not one Republican Member of Congress.

Cowards and opportunists all of them. And not a single patriot amongst them.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

New in PN: He's never "just joking"

"Trump is an aspiring autocrat with obvious physical and mental issues, but Johnson and his Republican cronies are insulting our intelligence about it."

He's never "just joking"

And Republicans know it, even as they play dumb.

I think maybe Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is a little too thin-skinned to keep calling himself a "Jersey Guy"

whyy.org/articles/new...

Ciattarelli said he will sue Sherrill after being accused of opioid deaths

The Democratic candidate for governor accused her Republican challenger of making “millions by working with some of the worst offenders and saying that opioids were safe.”

Every time that a Democratic politician is being interviewed, the first thing they should do is demand the release of the Epstein files.

Mike Johnson claims Lee Greenwood is a more appropriate performer than Bad Bunny for impressionable youth.

Lee Greenwood is in recovery for cocaine addiction. He got a deferment for Vietnam because he was a teen father. He's been married 5 times to 4 different women.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
