This where I come to scream into the void.
One of many low lifes, according to Epstein’s wingman. And yet, oddly, not getting paid for it.

Ways We Should Consider Amending the Constitution When We Get out of This Mess

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust.
He has proven these points virtually every day since.

Unfit for Office
Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

My favorite part is that the President has said a threshold for being appointed Fed Chair is a willingness to cut rates, and now suddenly everyone he talks to says the Fed should cut rates. He interprets this as confirming the wisdom of his policy judgments.

Q: Does the White House have a response to a judge ordering the immediate release of Kilmar Ábrego García from ICE detention? Will you appeal?
