Once again, Cadet Bone Spurs, by skipping the Super Bowl, shows his true color. While a case can be made for orange, his true color is YELLOW.

My idea to prevent any excuse for Bone Spurs to use the Insurrection Act: Two weeks before the November elections, everyone stays home -- no protests no rallies. Don't give him any excuse to call out armed forces on American streets. The only thing we should do is VOTE these bastards out of office.

Ratings for CBS's coverage of the "new" Trump-Kennedy Center were in the toilet. On the other hand, what would Cadet Bone Spurs know about art and culture anyway. The poor guy, who claimed to be a "stable genius," couldn't even write his own book.

"For 250 years, the essence of America's democratic system, drawing on thinkers going back to Cicero and Cato, has been that no one is above the law. Public officials' first duty is to put the law before the satisfaction of their own selfish impulses. That concept is alien to Trump." David Brooks.

Trump wants all immigrants to take a Civics test. So says the guy who doesn't know the difference between an intelligence test and a dementia test. An intelligence test tells you how many marbles you have. A dementia test asks "have you lost your marbles." Trump would flunk all three.

Audrey Hepburn once said "Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Not career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status." Not exactly what Kirk thought about empathy. He said it caused a "lot of damage."
