Trump is putting on a Foster Brooks performance but with inebriation replaced by sundowning.
A Trump quote without his face or voice - Trump without Trump. The quote is unedited and 100% accurate. This is from the McDonald's Impact Summit on November 17, 2025 - The drip drip water.

If Neal Katyal writes himself a cameo in the “West Wing for the Supreme Court” TV show he’s working on, do you think he’ll play a liberal lawyer who writes fawning op-eds about conservative judicial nominees, or a BigLaw partner defending child slavery
A Brief History Of Awful TV Shows About the Supreme Court
The concept of “The West Wing for the Supreme Court” might be the only thing more upsetting than the actual Supreme Court.

In the new Emerson College poll of Arizona voters, Trump has a 9-point net negative approval rating overall and a 17-point net negative rating on his handling of the economy (in a sample that is +5 Trump on self-reported 2024 vote).

Republicans continue to hide the Jeffrey Epstein files.
But these extremists have zero interest in making healthcare affordable for everyday Americans.
Shameful.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.
on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/fkMmsR4
The simple truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.

I really don’t get how the Republican nominee became a third party, while the loser of the Democratic primary is the legitimate general election opponent.
If anyhthing, he won by a much smaller margin. Like with the Trump victory being won bc of wasted votes on 3rd party, he won bc the existence of Sliwa acting as the role of a 3rd party siphoning off votes.
Like with Trump, he too will eventually be defeated. 2/

My gut says that there’s a real chance the groyper right wins their internet war with the last remnants of the old-school GOP and completely seizes the comm apparatuses, and there’s a decent chance that takes them out electorally because that stuff does NOT play well with the general public.
Ben Shapiro was just ratioed by Nick Fuentes on X after Shapiro called out Tucker Carlson and Fuentes for their antisemitism.
The neo nazi right is fully taking over the republican party.

This is one of those things where pundits will see a poll saying "Americans want to be healthier" and decide that the Democrats should campaign on all broccoli no ice cream
Like, guys, voters clearly have a revealed preference for conflict!

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."
Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

Thank god nobody who cares about Ronald Reagan is alive to see this.
"Instead of educating people about Reagan — the usual goal of a presidential foundation — the Reagan Foundation bent the knee and is trying to change truth and history in order to support the ideological whims of the current regime."

Reporters know any attempt to shame Johnson is a waste of breath.
Reporters must stop accepting this. Options:
-Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others)
-"It's your job to be informed"
-"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?"
-"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often"
-"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
