If they demolish Medicare it will be catastrophic. Utterly vile, these people. It's almost as if they don't care if the elderly and disabled die.

And that's the real problem. Large numbers of educated people too afraid to speak out about his lunacy. Seem to recall that history doesn't speak kindly of such people. How did it ever get to this in a supposedly strong democracy? Why don't the press confront Repubs & ask them to explain his words?

The man baby is hallucinating in public. Nobody will tell him the truth that he has jeopardized the summer crops in central California - not anywhere near the wildfires. In their lust for money and power; Nobody has the guts to tell him the truth. Disgusting.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "The water comes down from the northwest parts of Canada, I guess, but the Pacific Northwest. And it comes down by millions and millions of barrels a day and uh, I opened it up. It wasn't that easy to do. But I opened it up and it's pouring down."

Something I’ve always wanted from the NYT, but that I can’t remember it ever doing, is for the newspaper to show some professional indignation about being grandiosely lied to.

For what it’s worth, Democrats did refuse consent on Vought. They tried to filibuster him, forced Republicans to jump through hoops and used up all 30 hours of allowed debate time, with an all-nighter on the Senate floor, and all 47 Dems voted NO each time. That’s about all they can do procedurally.
