So, BREAKING NEWS: donald f. trump is still a giant ignoramus.

Remember, folks, you heard it here first.

A lunatic who has no idea what the War of 1812 was about.

I mean, in many ways, nobody has very much idea what the War of 1812 about, but the impressment of American merchant sailors by the British Navy was part of it.

I would think this was outrageous and appalling if I thought there was even the slightest chance that it had truly happened.

Sen. John Cornyn flips on the filibuster to pass SAVE America Act as Trump weighs endorsement Cornyn, who spent years defending the filibuster, is locked in a competitive GOP runoff in Texas against Ken Paxton, who has aligned with Trump on the issue.

There is no such thing as an elected Republican with principles. As long as donald f. trump is POTUS, everything is transactional for all of them.

how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not

He really hasn't any backbone or any conscience at all, has he?

If Republicans had any sense, they would be worrying that Democrats are ACCURATELY DESCRIBING Trump's immigration policy as overly sweeping and indiscriminate.

If there is "a lot of popular sentiment" that about 4.5 million Muslims, or less than 1.5% of the population, are going to "impose Sharia Law in America," then our biggest problem is that a lot of Americans are either stupid bigots, or weak-kneed politicians who won't stand up to stupid bigots.

Maybe it's just the corner of Bluesky that I'm reading this morning, but I'm seeing a lot of people misspelling "supersessionism."

(And I'll add that I think it's past time for the lexicographers at @merriam-webster.com to add "supersessionism" to their dictionary.

It infuriates me every day that #LindseyGraham is neither the worst nor the stupidest person in American politics.

If trump will not sign any other bill that he would be willing to sign in the first place, is that so bad?

And does Congress pass any more bills anyway?

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Trump on January 22, 2020 when the CDC confirmed the first US covid case: “We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine.”

While Trump bravely persevered through another round of golf despite bone spurs.

He has plenty of time. He just doesn't put it to any use at all.

"...for many decades, until they surrender or, more likely, totally collapse."

I guess "many decades" is technically not a "forever war," but....

Donald Trump lowered our Flags to half-staff for Charlie Kirk but not for the 6 troops we lost in Kuwait.

I hope he has something similar smack in the middle of his back.

Wait, I'm confused. Is he nominating a "[h]ighly [r]espected United States Senator," or is he nominating Markwayne Mullin.

(Side note: Mullin nomination, if successful, does help clear the path for Ron Johnson to become the dumbest person in the Senate after Tuberville leaves.)

Yep, this tracks

Once Tommy Tuberville leaves office, Ron Johnson has a really good shot at becoming the biggest idiot in the US Senate.
