In a par-for-the course exploitation of office, Trump hedges against a market crash - and not a single right wing media outlet covers it.

What else is there to say about Donald Trump’s speech last night? The lies speak for themselves.

He doesn’t give a damn about you.

Last night was basically what we have seen before, except this time the GOP lacks anyone willing to do anything but dutifully stand and clap like its Kim Jung Un’s birthday.

"I hope I'm going to be remembered as a peacemaker," Trump said.

You’re going to be remembered as a Fascist Bully, as the person who destroyed American Democracy.

Putin started the Ukraine war. Trump will be responsible for WWIII. Trump insulted the people of the United States and endangers Europe. Screw Trump’s doublespeak. He won’t write history, we will. Start writing it NOW.
Slava Ukraine! Long live Europe! Screw fascist Trump and Putin!

We are truly in distress. Impeach Trump, we get Vance, impeach Vance we get Mike Johnson, impeach Johnson, we get Chuck Grassley. We need an alternative solution . (I wonder if any of them are going to be present at the next state of the union…)

Trump picks abjectly unqualified people as his lieutenants, drops them in critical government agencies and departments, and hands them sledgehammers. Spineless Republicans in Congress standby while an unelected billionaire with no knowledge of the workings of government let’s loose a wrecking ball.

"Since Donald Trump took office a little more than three weeks ago, outlays have averaged $30bn a day. Compare that with the same period last year under Joe Biden: federal spending back then came to about $26bn a day. "

Can we agree to stop calling republicans conservatives? A conservative wouldn’t trample on the law and the constitution, and blindly take a wrecking ball to a 250-year-old democracy then go “Whoops! Who knew there would be unexpected consequences?” They have the predictive capacity of gypsy moths.

If most Democratic leaders are afraid to stand up to Trump (exceptions, Chuck Schumer, AOC,…), we need a bottom up approach. He can’t deport 100M of us. Ideas anyone?
