How far off the rails does he have to go before he gets impeached?

Then they get blacklisted and can't get near him again. It's gonna have to be a group effort - DJT can't stay away from a microphone, so offer one up like bait. Phrase the questions so he has to answer in an absolute - prove he is full of BS over and over, even if you wind up reporting from Nome.

True. The shortcut I use is that I assume everything they say is a lie, and I'm right about 90 % of the time. Good enough. If they say it, I expect the opposite is probably closer to correct, and while admittedly this lacks rigor it keeps my from spending all my time down a wonkish rabbit hole.

Trump's Middle East strategy is more likely to result in regime change in America than in Iran.

Rich fks don't care as fuel isn't even a line item in their household budget; it is de minimis and lumped under transportation (w/Lear Jet) - but it's a regressive expense - the poorer you are the big % of your budget is consumes. You drive a old Tercel for the high MPG, but maintenance eats you up.

Gee, it would be nice if DJT hadn't cut the legs out from under the voluntary transition to PHEV and EV automobiles.

Yes, we do. Assuming the Dems can sweep the 26 elections, the presidency in 28 I'd like to hear what the plan is to keep this madness from ever happening again. Checks and balances have failed, the admin is a runaway train. If you're thinking 'ah, once we are in control, then WE can run amok'. Nope.

Cheap sucker punch by DJT. Grrrr. The first duty of the prez is understand and honor words and intent of the US Constitution and be a president for ALL the people. It is not a zero sum game Donny, but you act like the kid who was always picked last, but now have some clout and are out for revenge.

Let me know when AI develops empathy, morals, ethics, a conscience and is not just a role playing sociopath algorithm. It's a tool, a powerful, possibly dangerous, tool.

Apparently there is a fictional world inside DJT's head where he lives out this fantasy of himself as victim/hero with all the world arrayed against him, yet he wins all battles. Clinically, I'm pretty sure there is specific name for this, but to the rest of us it is just cuckoo, cuckoo.

"State Rep. Steve Holt R-Denison said the bill would require Iowa’s private universities to admit students based on merit."
Steve, you're saying from birth everyone has the same support, health, nutrition, social standing, education, experience chances - no need for programs to level the field.

I know I can't type fast enough to keep up. Sounds like a job for A.I. 🤖 Might burn up some circuits.

Conundrum. Sit there in stoney silence while DJT baits you? Actively protest and look whiny? Funny hats etc are childish. No show - do empty seats say anything to MAGA Joe? 100% Dem absence? The left and middle don't need convincing. What would convince sane R Sen&Reps that DJT has lost his bite?

We're in the same mess here - healthy, wealthy state that can't balance a budget😡. Makes no sense. Assuming you've combed the budget for waste, fraud, and boondoggle pork, then clean up the tax code and raise the progression on the upper brackets and capital gains till it balances.

Astounding to me that anyone gives this guy one ounce of credence. Only his dyed in the wool cult members could possibly still cling to his ongoing barrage of BS and not realize they've been bamboozled. I hope he melts down during the State of the Union and goes completely off the rails.
