Happy birthday, Copper!
He's 8. A good boy. Major treats later.
We adopted each other 1 year ago today. Beagles and Buddies rescue spoke to resource guarding, separation anxiety. I understood him before I met him.

This isn't really my area of - um - concentration but I'm curious - if a sitting president poops his pants within the oval office, shouldn't the feces be preserved pursuant to the Presidential Records Act of 1978?

Happy birthday to my mom. She was a wonderful person. She passed last year. I miss her. She would have been 89 today.

It's important for us to remember that besides being a narcissist, sociopath, grifter, thief, sexual deviant, traitor, sadist, and serial criminal, he's also an idiot.

Here's exactly what each of 9 banana leaders is thinking as they smile, make small talk, and shake his hand:
"What a moron."
"What a fool."
"What a moron."
"He'll be dead soon."
"I feel bad for America."
"He's a psycho."
"What an idiot."
"Whoa - what's that smell?"

This is Trump's LEFT hand ... his good hand.
Is it because he's hemorrhaging support?

It's high time for the indoctrinated to awaken. It's high time for his dysfunctions to become universally acknowledged. It's time for the myth to finally fizzle.
He's nuts. He's distrusted. His cognition is greatly diminished.

A cranky 79-year-old Floridian man with limited vocabulary, whose face is painted in orange pigment, hand is bandaged, pants are girdled, and hair is indescribable, desperately seeks to distract from his misfortunes to regain grandiosity by bullying other world leaders who make fun of him regularly.

We released the film #UNFIT in 2020, a few months before the election. It largely introduced malignant narcissism and gaslighting into the lexicon and warned about ... so much of what we're seeing now.
This was a :30 spot we were able to air one time during Fox and Friends.

Wow. All I can say is that consciousness of guilt must be impossible to contain when you have immunity, unbridled cravings, dementia, a desperation to reverse decline, and an overarching need to feign grandiosity while you think you still can.

A vibrant Trump showcases his remarkable stamina at his golf club yesterday. The SS is stationed outside, ready to break the window if Trump's head goes limp so he doesn't drown in a beverage or the soup. His name is on the table both to delineate where he should sit, and to remind him who he is.

This is a good day to once again note that there are no other world leaders who have both nobly defied Trump's extortive quid pro quo blackmail and fought bravely to thwart Putin's murderous aggression. He's in a tough place and nobody can say how things will transpire. But Zelensky is a rare hero.

Trump has never before used the word "withering," nor does he know what it means.
Which is pretty ironic for a guy with such withering cognition.
