As he loots his Ponzi scheme masquerading as a car manufacturer.

Wrong on all counts.

Unfortunately, tyranny can make the false the true. The old conman knows all is left to him is his rapidly eroding power.

It seems he has never even glanced at the price sign for a gas station either. Never mind pumping his own gasoline.

Some years ago, Frank Rich commented on "the Republican Party's seemingly endless supply of closeted gays."

The old conman may be one in an old Republicon tradition.

All this time, I thought Putin was threatening the old conman with the pee tape. It's nothing compared to a pic of a pseudo-billionaire BJ.

If true, I can't see the MIC or the intel community tolerating a CIC controlled by a foreign power for much longer.

I figured as soon as the thing was sure to pass, the vote in favor would be unanimous. No point in voting no and incurring political risk. The Cons will let the Senate or the old conman's veto kill it.

I assume Elno has his own box set after DOGE rampaged through all the government's files and data bases. When he's had enough of the old conman, it will be all over.

It might not be wise to let Trump determine the age of consent

Exactly.

It's not likely the old conman can hand out $600 billion without Congress.

I wonder how the right-wing evangelical preachers are planning to spin this one. I suppose some Old Testament patriarch provides an example, forgetting whether he was instantly struck down by lightning.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the President of the United States.

Apart from malevolent, dishonest, grasping and ignorant, the old conman is just plain embarrassing to the country.

So, Biden, Clinton, the old conman and Satan can share a cell.

Be sure to set enough by to pay for your lifetime medical bills.

I assume Elno has the box set.

When the billionaires finally get tired of the old conman, he'll be gone in a day.
