tRUMP is a disgusting vile piece of trash that only deserves severe and harsh punishments for his traitorous life of crimes against this country.....

And we just started paying for it at the pumps. Just the beginning. Iran is not going to give in. They actually have smarter leadership than anyone in our Executive Branch. And I hate their leaders. Just facts. This war will hurt us beyond our imaginations. Too bad no check on him other than our lower courts.

he certainly doesn’t deserve grace, or anything close to it.

Bob's avatar

He has no grace and deserves none.

Dr.David's avatar

Republicans, White Christian Evangelicals and MAGA will continue to give him grace until the stock markets crash 20% or more. Economic warfare and a major economic collapse is the only thing that will stop them from giving their unwavering support to that POS.

Steph's avatar

unfortunately… most of the people invested see a stock market crash as an opportunity.

we are in different times, my friend

There is a version of this moment that could have been managed. A president who privately despised Robert Mueller could have released a terse, two-sentence statement of condolence, said nothing at all, or simply let the news pass.

Rivals do this routinely in democracies. Silence, in politics, is a form of statecraft. Donald Trump chose the opposite.

… Democratic activist Jamie Bonkiewicz got over 44,000 likes on X for this post: “I better not hear A SINGLE FUCKING WORD about the tweets I’ll be posting after [Trump] goes.”

And we will never forget, MAGA Nazis!!! Apart from the unforgivable disrespect of Bone Spurs' post on Mueller's death and service record, what a great way to undermine the military when he sent them into a needless war. Good luck getting new recruits after this fiasco, Numbnuts.

Trump is a POS and folks are surprised he smells like shit. If you haven’t read the Mueller report, you should. Remember that investigation was launched because an Australian official was drinking with a couple of Trump weasels who kept telling the Australian how much money Trump was getting from Russia. He took it seriously enough to report it to the FBI. Witch hunt my ass, if they hadn’t investigated it would have been dereliction of duty. In reality it was the beginning of the destruction of our country. If not for Bill Barr Trump would and should have been prosecuted. Read Mueller and think Trump is a criminal he needs to be prosecuted for a myriad of criminal acts. Only a pedophile would hide anything to do with that investigation. He is as bad as it gets. Human garbage.

Will this be the breaking point for our military leaders for them to not obey the orders that would escalate this ilegal war?

Elaine Lueras's avatar

The Military will do what they are told. Do not expect them to go against the 🍊 Fat Boi.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

There is no denying that. The time to act has come and gone. Soon weapons will point in and warehouses will fill, not with produce but with people. Then what?

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

I would say no. That should have happened. Why do you think suddenly now? I think the only chances are (a) when nuclear weapons are front and center or (b) when the military must choose to fire on US citizens or lead them to freedom. Or maybe neither.

Elaine Lueras's avatar

Unfortunately, true. Despite how 🍊 Fat Boi is a 5x draft-dodging cowardly moron and wipes his ass on Veterans, you can be sure there are military commanders who are all in on 🍊 Fat Boi's and Greaseball Hogsbreath's war plans.

In 2020, the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election that validated many of Mueller's findings. The committee was chaired by none other than Marco Rubio.

… Netanyahu: " ... I ask the leaders of the free world: what are you waiting for? Israel is fighting not only for itself, but for all of you.”

Liar. You started this war to avoid prosecution for your war crimes and corruption. Get on your knees with Bone Spurs and BEG. I want to watch NATO allies tell you to go pound sand. And good luck undermining Ukraine more than you and Putin already have: you need Zelenskyy's affordable and innovative drones to save your sorry asses whether you admit it or not. Zelenskyy holds all the cards now. Start grovelling, cowards.

On Scott Bessent:

This guy was one of Jeffrey Epstein's money men as is Kushner! Amazed more people aren't picking up Bessent's key current role in obstructing the release of the banking money trail documents. Maybe perhaps because it leads back to him and his friends?

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

Why is the Treasury Secretary involved in war decisions and why front and center, when all he does is mumble incoherently? Why don't nations boycott in retaliation? Why don't we?

Catt woman's avatar

Every time Bessent opens his mouth he proves he is even dumber than he looks. Ditto for Sean Duffy.

Oaktown's avatar

Q - So you don’t think there’s anything wrong with a post saying, ‘Good. Robert Mueller’s dead’? Bessent: We should have empathy for what’s been done to the president and his family.”

Oh, now we see: you only condone empathy for a corrupt, demented pedophile who has looted our tax dollars for himself and his useless, grifting family, not for the damage you've done to our national security, economy, treaties, allies, and the American people.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

Someone needs to ask Old Scotty here exactly what has been done to Orange and his family. Because enquiring minds want to know.

Chapter and verse, dude.

Bessent may have been replaced by a pod person.

Jerri Peake's avatar

Bessent is a soulless, heartless condescending robotic bootlicker who has looks like he has a stick up his a$$ that goes all the way to his head. He responds to every question with a cliche or platitude, and makes me want to scream at the TV.

Oaktown's avatar

That would be an improvement. Sad.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

If so, would there be a noticeable difference? He's definitely some kind of alien.

Delinda Angelo's avatar

I live in Riverside County, California, where Chad Bianco is our Sheriff. In addition to his theft of our November ballots, his sheriffs pull over people and then within a few minutes, ICE appears and takes the drivers away. This is NOT okay.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

Bianco is one of, if not the, highest paid sheriffs in the entire country with a clearance rate of 9%. He should be out there actually solving crime, rather than creating crimes so that he can solve made up shit.

Kevin Robbins's avatar

Bessent: “We should have empathy for what’s been done to the president and his family.”

I suppose in that case we should also have empathy for what’s been done to Ayatollah Khameni and his family. Trump was treated like the criminal that he’s always been.

Day 23 of the Republican War in Iran, the latest in a series of Republican wars in the Middle East.

Bessent: a man without loyalty, with only one goal: buying his way into someone's, anyone's political administration. What a zero! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Bessent

In 2000, Bessent hosted a fundraiser for Al Gore at his home in East Hampton, New York. Also in 2000, he donated $1,000 to John McCain's presidential campaign. In 2007, he donated $2,300 to Barack Obama's campaign, and in 2013, he donated $25,000 to Hillary Clinton's campaign. At the time, he was said to be a Democrat who supported liberal causes. After Trump was elected president in 2016, Bessent donated $1 million to Trump's 2017 presidential inaugural committee. In 2023 and 2024, he donated more than $1 million to Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. In February 2024, Bessent hosted a fundraiser in Greenville, South Carolina, that raised nearly $7 million for Trump's campaign. In April, he hosted a Palm Beach, Florida, fundraiser that raised $50 million for the campaign. In July, Bessent was a key economic adviser to Trump.

When someone like Bessent is finally called to account for his collusion in this regime’s murderous corruption, he’s the one who’s going to wet his pants and cry like a baby. “Really bad framing, Scott”.

That entire schtick was shit. “Framing” is another word for “you have to believe my spin on all this because I’m a man.” Then Bessent mentions the Merde-a-Lago search when defending Trump’s obnoxious comment on Mueller. It’s not long enough for that jackass to forget that Mueller had ZERO to do with the documents case. He was gaslighting.

Amy Cohen's avatar

He really is a weak and stupid man. When he had no other answer- which was the case with nearly all questions - he’d return again and again to “your framing is wrong”.

ajay ess's avatar

he is uber wealthy (and getting wealthier by the day) like all the trump criminal and corrupt gang of water carriers.

Amy Cohen's avatar

So won’t it be fun to see them all lined up at the dock of our very own Nuremberg and to impound all the wealth they’ve stolen? Maybe pay off our debt while finally giving the American people the health care they deserve.

beautiful comment :)

If there was any Russian influence in 2016 it was to help Trump get elected. When COVID began, we were told that testing materials were not available. That was because they'd all been sent to Putin.

Susan's avatar

Trump is a vile, empty, horrid disgusting person with no morals, no feelings, no thoughts, no empathy, no respect, no love, no caring, no kindness. He has only evil, cruelty, selfishness, ugliness, self-pity, vengeance, stupidity and a major lack of intellect. To every person who voted for him you are the exactly same ugly way, just add poor.

ajay ess's avatar

yes on all levels....well said!!!!!

and as for the people who voted for putin-style-dictator trump and the putin-style-rubber-stamp-repugnican-congress….. well they can all rot in hell.

yes i constantly get people saying ‘well i’m not going to turn my back on my grandparents’, or ‘my uncle is a very nice person’, or ‘my friend has always been part of my life’ etc etc etc ad nauseum…..well, why not think of them as actually having zero in common with you and your values – because that is the fact of the matter. 1 of you is not being true to your values...you decide if it's you or them....

Being a trump voter is more than just wanting an end to wars, or wanting the inflation rate to come down etc – it is about accepting and supporting ‘hatred of others’, bullying and demeaning American citizens, weakening EPA and other environmental laws putting everyone’s health in danger, taking away ACA healthcare will cause many people to suffer or die, supporting the trump ICEstapo will ensure regular americans like alex pretti, renee good, ruben ray martinez, the blind rohinga man Nurul Amin Shah Alam will DIE – and all of that is OK to them? They’ll continue to vote for the putin-style-repugnicans and the putin-style-trump-dictator?????….

imagine you had married a jew in nazi germany and your grandmother gave his/her name to the nazi gestapo who hauled him/her off to a concentration camp, never to be seen again….you’d still love your wicked horrible fascist racist grandmother??????

until your grandparents, uncles, friends all admit they made a mistake by voting for trump, why the fcuk are you pandering to them???? you have to be stronger than them - family does NOT mean love - and in this case it means the exact opposite. they despise you and your values, and you let them, and YOU ‘change’ the subject when it comes up, because you are unable to stand up for your so-called values!!!!!

yeah, make whatever fcuking excuses you want, you are part of the problem that is propelling this country along a dark-putin-style-path, and verrrrry little will be capable of being reversed. when trump’s putin-style-billionaire-oligarchs control all the media, and most large corporations, it will NEVER become free again

Fuckerberg just bought a $170 million mansion in Indian Creek, FL, right at sea level; probably trying to escape the threatened CA Billionaire Tax. May the oceans rise and kill them all off and deposit them and their mansions back with the fishes.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Thanks for the updated info Ron. Bessent saying people should have empathy for Trump and his family is hilarious as Trump totally lacks any kind of empathy.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I about puked in my mouth when I read that from Ron! 🤮 The family of evil grifters deserve ZERO empathy! WTF?

Bob's avatar

Hearing him say it was enraging. Along with the fact he tried to tie the search of Trump’s golf motel with Mueller, the gaslighting jackass.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Yes, I was livid too! I'm exhausted from all this crap!
