And THIS is why they all wear masks, so the assailant can't be identified and held accountable.

Since it’s Stephen Miller who is controlling Trump, he’s the one who really has plenary authority. Nothing to worry about there.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

And, of course, projection, like this post today in the comments section on my GoComics page:

"democrats seem to only believe the false narratives put out by the lame-stream media leftwing politicians. that's not really being informed. many hate the president because their TV told them too."

I've been getting that same "argument" for over 20 years. It was presented in Hannity's first book and parroted ever since as if it means...something.

Got this email today. Trying to reason with Trumpers is a fool's errand.

"You do realize that the Confederacy was the demonrats, right? And that the Republican party was founded on being anti-slavery? Or are just you trying to edit out history you don't like?"

Precisely the purpose of the president's threats.

"Oregon officials say the atmosphere outside an ICE building that has drawn daily demonstrations since June has grown worse since the president’s threats."

"The president, without providing evidence, said Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker should go to jail for “failing to protect” immigration agents."

Protect them from people recording the ICE agents brutally attacking innocent people with brown skin?

Wasn't saying you were being fooled. Just having fun. I'm hopeful, too. Just not getting the hopes too high because of all the times we've been disappointed over the past decade with anything regarding Trump.

Yeah, but a lot of republicans put themselves out there against Trump, like Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham, in the wake of the insurrection. Just hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. But like the McCarthy Era, this has to end some time.

I'll believe it when I see it, as I thought the fever had been broken after Jan. 6, only to see a quick relapse.

But always hopeful that it will finally come around.

In every one of the clips I've see of Pan Bondi "responding" to Democratic senators at today's hearing, I kept expecting her to say, "I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER!"

Once...just ONCE...whenever they have someone like Bondi called in for a hearing and "testifying" like this to shoot back with, "JUST ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!"

WHITEHOUSE: Do you know if the FBI found photographs of Trump with half-naked young women in their search of Epstein's safe or premises?

BONDI: You're trying to slander President Trump when you're the one who was taking money from one of Epstein's closest confidants. I could be wrong. Correct me.

"Nearly two weeks after her election, Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., has yet to be sworn into office."

Well, if this is somehow legal, when the Democrats regain control of the House, the new speaker should just refuse to swear in any republican.
