I’ve wondered, too. Is it driven by an obsessive hatred of Arabs and Muslims? The Christian Right’s fetish for armageddon? Oil? Kickbacks?

The road to today was littered with “Trump is nuts, but he’s not nuts enough to do that.”

Casual fan here. I thought it was some kind of bullshit, but now I declare torpedo bats to be clever and cool. Won’t help my Mariners, though. Amazing how much they can’t hit.

Also blasts, blisters, bombshell, claps back, epic self-own, goes viral, melts down, mind-blowing, mocks, rages, rips, scoop, shocking, skewers, slams, staggering, stuns, and trolls.

I’d seen the headlines, but most — like TPM’s — haven’t included the name Brent Bozell. He’s quite reprehensible, even by Trump standards. Young folks might need an introduction.

What is it lacking?

Plush carpet and air conditioning. No, it’s working fine — fun for me, and a handful of others don’t seem to mind.

That’s what I’ve been doing for a year or so…

Medium has a paywall, which tends to keep me away, but Substack pays Nazis to post there. This makes the Substack platform distasteful for those who dislike fascists.

25th Amendment, babe.

Exactly and it’s astounding — no Dems have filed impeachment papers against Trump in 2025. Al Green has said he will, but he hasn’t yet, so the total is still zero. Infuriating.

It’s not for me, but it sounds cool for those active on both sites.

Hakeem Jeffries, is that you?

Exacatactly.

I can only speak for myself, but there’s nothing the Democratic Party could do to make amends for doing nothing since the election.

If voting is allowed again — which seems an increasingly large ‘if’ — I’ll vote for a candidate who speaks to me, but never again for a Democrat just because they’re less awful than the Republican.

I’m sure it was meant as sarcasm, but it’s obviously true.

In addition to being cruel and stupid, much or most of what Musk and Trump are doing is illegal and/or unConstitutional. Yet no Republicans and only about three Democrats in Congress are willing to say so. This happy bipartisanship will doubtless continue after Trump drops the pretense, dissolves Congress, and cancels future elections.

If nothing stops him now, what would stop him then?

I’ve never noticed that pattern.

What, you think he’s going to ease up?

Fun fact: Pinkerton is tanned, rested, and ready to go.

“Look, I know I’m too old to be president. I’ll be managing things a bit like Trump is now — heavy delegation to people I trust. The main differences is my people aren’t bloody evil. And I’ll have AOC as my VP.”

I’d vote for that.

If there’s an election.

Added ‘blister’ to my list of headline action! verbs! only bullshit sites use.

backlash, blasts, blisters, bombshell, calls out, claps back, goes viral, melts down, mind-blowing, mocks, rages, rips, scoop, skewers, slams, stuns, trolls, weighs in…

Any others?
