Not sure the ancient Greeks never came up with this but a nation ruled by assholes would be a "proctocracy"

Trump is exhausting himself doing all these campaign stops. He's doing them because he wants to pretend he's running for President again. Hearing huge crowds cheer for him is the only part of the job he likes. He desperately craves the love and adoration.

And apparently your preferred alternative for Democrats to run on is "Democrats are bad" Jeez Louise!

“Republicans are bad” can't be what Democrats run on. We need Democrats with a real vision for healthcare, childcare, and housing.

Trump on Somalia: "Remember I made the statement? Shithouse countries ... all they do is go around and kill people all day long. Pirate ships. Kill people. I'm surprised they can pirate the ship"

"In all relevant documents, and everything else"? I guess he wields powerful command over irrelevant documents.

I want Abdul to win because I don't don't want months of liberal-leftist infighting. I'd much rather spend that time gloating and discussing all the ways we're going to stick it to Trump and Republicans come January.

"The liberal media" says basically nothing, but they'll ask every Democrat across the country 20 times to comment about a podcaster in Hollywood that 98% of Democrats never heard of until "the news"/GOP chose to make him into "an issue" for Democrats.

Kushner and Witkoff have been to Russia 7 times under the disguise of negotiating the war. That’s not what they are doing, they are negotiating for Trump and themselves. Not one transcript has been released of those meetings.

MacCallum: The Cheesecake Factory comment goes exactly to why Democrats lost the middle class, why they lost blue-collar voters. Because it's kind of a guns and religion clinging kind of comment and it turns a lot of people in this country off

You don't need an explanation for Trump 2.0 other than that people just got really, really stupid in 2024. A society where the hawk tua lady got endorsement deals and a podcast was obviously not one that was taking things seriously.

Trump's towering stupidity leads him to think the country is his company. Not the government, the country. That's why he says odd things about where the money goes and who makes it. Worse, because his companies were always scammy, he doesn't know how actual companies work either.

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

The media is tisk tisking Obama for making a crack about Cheesecake Factory but Trump bragging about "making a fortune" while gas prices are sky high will be sanewashed into "Trump declares the economy is strong in fiery campaign speech."

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'Cause Greenland has a lot of oil. We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher' ... we're making a frickin' fortune"

The actual vehicle for this would be left wing outlets deciding to be pro-Democratic party propaganda rather than what they do now, which is constantly tell their listeners the Democrats aren’t doing anything and are just secret Republicans.
The Editorial Board@johnastoehrOct 24
The only way to change these people is ruthless propaganda. That's how Fox did it. Dems gotta do it too.

Obama: So I've been doing a long time. Some people might say a little too long. One of those people is Michelle Obama. But she gave me a hall pass this weekend. And when you've been campaigning as long as I have, you can tell when an election comes along that just feels a little bit different. An election where people are so ready for something new, so hungry for something better, that everywhere you go, change is in the air.
