The future does not exist to Donald Trump to any more of the extent that he can experience it himself. I believe the malevolent force that exists in Trump would as soon burn the whole thing down as he himself winds down with age. That's a dangerous perspective for the most powerful man in the world.

Bill Burr didn't get that huge check to go to Riyadh and do his act; he got that check to come back here and talk about how "normal those guys over in the Middle East are", and about how "they're just like us". Those are Bill's exact words on his latest podcast. Burr himself was bought, not his bit

This should be THE STORY. The Speaker of the House acknowledges that the president is fundamentally unwell. His response is itself insane. The idea or even the fact that folks on the other side may be unwell is the point.
None of them are the president.
None of them are the president.
He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.
But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The sheer malevolent pettiness on display daily from this president is disqualifying for any position of power, from proverbial dog catcher on up.
We heap shame on ourselves and our country every day we allow it to continue.

There are a lot of people out there who made promises about today to the rest of us that they did not keep. I won't say we're angry at y'all, but we are all very, very disappointed 😔
But since you are essentially starting your stay here with us over again, a little humility might be in order.

The Politics of Identity/Grievance is now so strongly ingrained that when the entire world witnesses an extreme internal fracture, the Party of Tyranny continues to take aim at the proclaimed enemy, unconcerned that the world can see their violent lie.

Maga is now actively reveling in the nastiness & violence. What we're seeing from maga is what we see from late night comedians when they tell the audience to "hush" with one hand and ask for more applause with the other. This will play right into their hands, as if Kirk was the necessary sacrifice.
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Capitalism at its most efficient:
The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

Reminder: Here are the 20 Democratic Senators who voted just last week with every MAGA to continue arming Netanyahu. Don’t hold your breath for them to condemn Netanyahu for using the weapons they gave him to murder the Al Jazeera journalists.
