Another reminder! A proper non-biased, apolitical education system that actually teaches critical thinking skills is sort of required if we want to continue to live in a democracy. Of course, the red hat knuckle draggers will figure this is a political post. QED

I am surprised they chose to leave the comfort of Trump's colon long enough to sit at the table. Of course, they are just kissing his ass from the outside ... my mistake. Was confused a bit there for a moment.

My admiration to the reporter who asks Trump how many millions he got in return for that pardon. Selling pardons is quite the cottage industry at the WH these days.

No argument there! I am not convinced they are even aware of the optics.

Definitely have reached the "Weekend at Bernie's" level. Really bad optics for the GOP keeping this clown in power (and has been for years, I might add). Even the dim bulbs out there are now taking notice. His last marble is rolling across the floor.

Cluelessness seems a common thread amongst Trump voters. I think it is axiomatic: if they voted for Trump, they are, by definition, clueless. And this extrapolates to family relationships and how they work. Like Trump, they are accountable for nothing. It is always someone else's fault.

Let's start with her blood, sweat and tears ... harvesting veggies in the Imperial Valley. She is just occupying space and making screeching noises in her current position. Make her do some real work.

I would hope this would remind some of our elected GOP what integrity and sacrifice are all about. Not holding breath but we can hope. I know it is an overused phrase, but I will use it anyway. Thank you for your service, your integrity, and country before self.

Attempts to understand this administration should be accompanied by the Bennie Hill theme song "Yakety Sax" playing in the background to fully appreciate the precision of a well-oiled machine. In this case, it is Hogsbreath that is well oiled. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcq_...

What is so sad is that this on-going chest-beating anti-drug business of taking out small boats and their crews is more than likely a Trump-manufactured distraction from his collecting millions from drug traffickers in payment for their pardons. Selling pardons is big business in the WH.

Nicely done, sir. And you are correct. Probably need to add a zero or two to that 40.

So original. Expect a complete set of Melania-endorsed Christmas ornaments to go on the market soon to separate the Red Hat Brigade's money from their wallets. I understand that if you had invested in her meme coin, you lost your socks. From $14 a year ago to 11 cents now. The grift will go on.

Seems they are running out of rubles to deal with the unexpected. Works for me! Just hope the trend continues at a steeper rate to minimize casualties in Ukraine.

Trump is making noises about revoking citizenship of some US citizens. Start with this Russian asset. Then revoke his own. The treasonous conman felon pedo neuron-challenged president hates this country and the people in it who are not surgically attached to his ass. He is in it for himself. Period.

Definitely, for those not officially in the "regime", lots and lots of money. If part of the regime, Trump is paid by their obeisance to him.

I am a skeptic. Trump only pardons those who kiss ass vigorously. And Hogsbreath did not get his moniker for nothing. However, I can hope.

"Weekend at Bernie's" comes to mind. Wonder when Miller will trot in a body double.

You mean, liberating the cult's money from their pocketbooks. The fact that the company is not based in the US is a nice touch.

The Epstein files must be much worse than just bad. That combined with his polling dropping as fast as crap into his diaper probably helps. He will burn down the world to save his ass. So glad he has access to the nuclear football. I can sleep easy.
