"Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at" - projection

"They are no good at governing, no good at policy" - envy (e.g. the economy being the "envy of the world")

"no good at picking winning candidates" - fair (but taco had all the help in the world from an obedient press)

Hey Donald, psssst, Tommy Tuberville is the schifty guy you should be looking at for residency problems.

And this, from Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts:

"Unbelievable. Just days after the tragic flooding in Texas, NOAA is demanding that public TV stations remove equipment from towers that is critical for these stations to send weather alerts. Trump’s ideological crusade against public broadcasting will cost lives."

This letter will shut down the NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts in the state of Nebraska. I wonder what other states have received these letters?

August Johnson, I believe Texas voted for these people if I am correct. I know Indiana did....however, I didn't and I know a few others that were smart enough to not vote for them....however, there are very few smart Indiana residents!

Every accusation Trump hurls at Democrats is PURE PROJECTION. This is how he reveals all his darkest impulses. It’s pathetic.

I have to comment on the final cat picture. Where does the cat begin and end? It's a whirlpool of catness.

Why in any deity’s name is a woman the only person punished for the Epstein scandal ? It was all men who raped, traumatized, and humiliated underaged girls. 🤬

And I can report first-hand knowledge of Good Trouble demonstrations around CMU yesterday, although they were kept off campus. Still, they could be seen and heard.

Thank you, TC. I hope they don't kill Ep's woman/friend. I am sure that she can take all of those guilty down in a heartbeat! Hopefully, she is well protected. Is she in the USA or another country? Everytime I see the video of Ep and Taco googling the young girls makes my stomach turn.

I believe that Maxwell has petitioned for a pardon? She will either get a pardon (probably) or die mysteriously. She's rolling the dice.

What mystery? She'll commit assisted suicide, just like Epstein did.

In re: Federal Reserve, what would happen if Trumplethinskin tried to fire Powell and Jerome just said "No, I'm going to serve out my term." Are there enough votes to impeach, convict, and remove him? Is that even an option for the Federal Reserve chair?

About that photo of the back of TACO45/47’s hand…I was in the hospital back in 2018 for a long treatment for sepsis in my right leg. I had to have a 24 hour antibiotic drip through an IV line on the back of my right hand, but because my blood pressure was erratic because of the infection, the veins on the back of my hands and upper arms kept collapsing. The nurses spent time trying to find a new area for the main line for the IV unit and soon my lower right arm looked like a combat zone, all puffy with blood bruises here and there. Probably that’s why El Lardo has to slather his orange-brown clown makeup to hide the IV drip damage? With his apparent health problems, I would not be surprised that Fatboy needs medical intervention to keep up the facade of physical health after years of abuse and neglect of his body, much like Hitler did after 1943-4 when the walls started closing in around him and Nazi Germany…

That name for Bill is good, but I still like Olbermann's nickname for him "Bill-O-The Clown."

Swollen ankles. A sign of not only an enlarged heart, but clogged arteries and high/low blood pressure (depending on the person and medical history).

So Trump was actually asking the GOP congress for advice about getting rid of Powell. What I think he was actually doing was trying to curry their favor and soften up their persistence and insistence about the Epstein files. Cheap ingratiation.

Speculation here about 47 having congestive heart failure, or possibly kidney failure, dovetails with my intuition that he'll be gone by the end of the year. And you can bet he'll go out on a sympathy note and a demand for a Peace Prize. (Obama sticking in his craw might be what finally does him in, which should earn Obama a second Peace Prize in my book.)

I've seen that look in the first cat photo. Nothing cuts like a dilute calico torby who does not believe her human just did THAT!!
