Well Trump is doing his best to kill off all those survivors.


Well at least those who were at D-Day. And the ones in nursing homes and veteran’s home with his piss poor pandemic planning.

Next thing you know, they’ll insist that the parents with children there be charged with child endangerment and the children sent to appropriate places of confinement. Anything to prop up their shameless craven lies.

This is a complete fabrication that would make Baron Munchausen blush with fremdscham.

McEnany described groups of “rioters” who had grown violent and were launching bricks and water bottles at police officers.

Protesters were given three warnings, the press secretary said, before members of the National Guard, park staff and other law enforcement …

Churchill, in securing Britain as a combatant (as opposed to a German conquest) in 1940 likewise secured his place in History.

Trump’s place in History is guaranteed Infamy on a Legendary scale.

OMG she’s just perfect. The only famous personage from history I’d compare Trump to is Baby Huey, a big stupid lummox who stumbled around fucking up everyone’s shit. And even so, BH didn’t actually mean any harm, so the analogy fails soon enough. Trump is sui generis. The comparison to Churchill, Kayleigh, is, uh, inapt.

If Trump can’t handle peaceful protesters, then how will handle his drive down Pennsylvania Ave if he cheats to win a second term? Will they just try and CGI the whole thing?

George W Bush went to the pile of rubble and spoke from the heart to the city of New York and the entire country. We had just been attacked. Donald J. Trump seems to be at war with American citizens. He used force to clear out peaceful demonstrators which included family and clergy, so he could have his photo-op at an historic church. It was/is an abject failure!

Every journalist at those pressers should each bring a spare sock, and once the liar starts to lie, take a bag of sand and pour it into the sock. Then once she has lied enough to warrant it, the disgusted journalist should heave the sock at her; try to leave an imprint. I suspect that each journalist will have a slightly different threshold of disgust, but I’d be OK with it if they all heaved their sand socks at the same time.

So why not just heave the bag of sand? In the event that they want to, you can repeatedly swing the sand-sock like a club.

Deranged Donnie’s vile treatment of the protestors and faux-concern for a local church is definitely historic, but not for the reasons he had been hoping.
“A photo-op that will go down in infamy …”

It’s on video, both from above and in the crowd. America knows what happened…when the administration starts lying this boldfaced to the people then we’re in a very dangerous place. They think it’s fine to do it, and that attacking Americans was just fine too. This alone really should be grounds to throw these bastards out of office.

Erik Larson’s new book “The Splendid and the Vile” talks of Churchill being a tireless worker. Interested in how things were done in the cabinets. And a man who knew how to give a fucking speech in English.

No doubt that is what the GOP will try for Trump’s nomination convention.

They gave him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. I think like the other Nobels that one will elude Trump.

I might compare him to “Baby Doc”. But Jean-Claude DuValier was much smarter, I think.

Yeah, but the Rethuglican cowards in the Senate still lack the cajones to do it.
