While Trump's bullying has often been effective, there is a least one organization that will not cave: The New York Times. @peterbakernyt.bsky.social , himself a target, has some thoughts on why others have been susceptible to the lawsuits.

What happens when a schoolyard bully becomes the President of the United States? According to Susan Glasser, @sbg1.bsky.social , it's turned our to be remarkably effective. With some cowardly billionaires as well.

Along with everything else, the unchecked corrupt activities of Donald Trump and his family still amazes me. Back in the quaint old days, it was a major "scandal" that Hillary Clinton did really well on an $10,000 investment.

One of the mysteries of the Epstein affair is why @realDonaldTrump is still fighting so hard to cover it up. What has been revealed is bad enough, but @sbg1.bsky.social Susan Glasser wonders, is there something else he is so desperate to hide?

Sharing today a great conversation I had with the two best journalists working today, Susan Glasser @sbg1.bsky.social and @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. Beyond the day to day outrages, a major transformation is taking place in Donald Trump's America.

The despicable, violent, immoral @ICEgov thuggery is completely rejects the teachings of Jesus. But it is cheered on by right-wing evangelicals. (Shame on them.) @JohnFugelsang.bsky.social thinks he knows why.

@JohnFugelsang.bsky.social's great new book, "Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds" has a description of Jesus that MAGA's would not recognize.

It has always amazed me that 80% of Evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump in 2024. @JohnFugelsang.bsky.social has an explanation. Hint: it wasn't Trump's adherence to the teachings of Jesus.

@JohnFugelsang.bsky.social says that after a large faction of Evangelical Christians failed to stop the expansion of Civil Rights, Jerry Falwell (who had founded segregated schools),turned to abortion as an issue to rally his supporters.

I think we are the two perfect people to deconstruct the hypocrisy of "Christian" supporters of Donald Trump: me, a former seminarian, and @JohnFugelsang.bsky.social , the son of a former nun and former Christian brother. Let's begin with Mathew 25.

Come for the analysis of how the media should function in Trump 2.0 and get sharp thinking on the Bari Weiss/60 Minutes outrage from just this past weekend. She's giving the White House veto power over 60 Minutes. Not good.

"Thank you, Susie! For me, it's the first present under the Christmas tree. Just in time for the holidays, Susie Wiles has given us all a gift: a peek behind the curtain into the personalities and workings of the Trump White House. And it ain't pretty."

“'No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review,' the suit states. 'And no president is legally allowed to construct a ballroom on public property without giving the public the opportunity to weigh in.'”

A lot of us have memory problems as we get older. Not remembering names, for one. But Dr. John Gartner, says on the Pod, Donald Trump's memory issues are of a lot more serious than that.

Last week Donald Trump went to a Pennsylvania Casino (irony is dead) to speak about "affordability." We learned nothing about that, but Dr. John Gartner, says we did see more signs of Trump's dementing on display.

Sleepy Don. Dozy Don. The Nodfather. All terms to describe Donald Trump sleeping on the job. But according to what Dr. John Gartner told me on today's pod, the sleeping in an important clue to Trump's mental state.

We can all see Donald Trump descending into more and more appalling and erratic behavior. Dr. John Gartner, says this is closely related to Trump's increasingly clear dementia.

Remember when someone collapsed in the Oval Office and Donald Trump just stood there frozen at his desk? Clinical psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who has long studied Trump's cognitive ability, has a great insight.

In my newspaper column, I wrote about the crazy late-night screed from Donald Trump. @pbump.com said it needs to be read out loud to understand just how bonkers it is. So we had an AI voice read it. And now think what you'd do if your grandpa did this.

"These are still perilous times. Every day, Donald Trump
does something more outrageous, more destructive, more un-American-and gets away with it. However, I see glimmers of hope in two places: Trump's political problems and personal problems."

"The man who is literally begging to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize has thus launched a war which is clearly illegal under the Constitution. Congress must stop quibbling about the 'double tap' and condemn Trump’s entire illegal war."

There was a fair amount of movement of Hispanic voters to the GOP and Donald Trump in 2024. But will the thug tactics of ICE change that? @larrysabato.bsky.social has a prediction.

Though not officially on the ballot, Donald Trump will have a major impact in 2026. And not in a good way for the GOP. Could it even help flip the Ohio Senate seat back to @SherrodBrownOH.bsky.social? @LarrySabato.bsky.social explains Trump's problem.
