“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.” Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel – at Pennsylvania, USA
“Donald Trump hates when people make money off of him.” J. D. Vance
😂.
Of course he does. He wants himself and his family to be the only ones making that money.
If you think raw bigotry like this coming out of the mouth of the President of the United States is ever remotely acceptable, you might want to look into your soul.
And please don’t insult anyone’s intelligence by claiming Democrats are “dividing America.”
We know he’s mentally ill, but how do you explain the people who greet these barefaced lies with clapping and cheers?
Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine? They don't even need approval"
If a Democratic president did this, congressional Republicans would be in a white hot rage as they raced to denounce the action.
Now: Silence from these sheep.

From @Bookreporter my review of Julie Orringer's beautiful novel LUNA, PHOENIX, QUEEN: bookreporter.com/reviews/lun… @AAKnopf
Lots of Republicans here in PA-10 finally are fed up with Scott Perry’s lies about January 6 and his slavish support of Trump’s War and his disastrous tariffs. That’s why they’ll be voting for @JanelleStelson for Congress.
Multiple Republicans tell @AP they won't support Scott Perry:
"One Republican voter, Terry Wallace, a retired Army colonel, said he had voted for Perry before the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters but won’t anymore."

So true. What’s with the “poor Katie” nonsense. She’s been conning many people for a long time, and she thought she could bluff her way through this job, too. When your boss is the ultimate con man, that doesn’t work
1/2 of a Scaramucci. Wow.
At this very moment, Anthony Scaramucci is preparing to hand Katie Zacharia the crown for shortest tenure ever for a WH Press Secretary. He will be go back to a normal life now.
And @jrpsaki is saying, "told ya so!"
@Scaramucci
When Trump is gone, leaving only wreckage behind, his cowardly enablers like Kevin McCarthy will disclaim any responsibility. May there always be people like @SarahLongwell25 around to shame them. . .
“Russia Hoax?”
Not a hoax.
I practiced law for 41 years, including 9 as a law firm ethics counsel. Never, did I meet anyone who did not understand that in the US you can’t call yourself an “attorney,” “lawyer” or “general counsel” without passing the bar and being licensed. She’s an idiot, a liar, or both.
Remember when we had presidents who would offer public condolences in the wake of a mass shooting.
Our mob boss president doesn’t even try.
Rep. Scott Perry claims he was “just responding to constituents’ concerns” when he challenged the results of the ‘20 presidential election.
A blatant lie.
Within days of the election, he was promoting baseless conspiracy theories and continued to do that through 1/6/21.
Conversation in a health care provider’s office this morning:
Me (to young assistant): Not to get into a political discussion, but are you going to vote this year?
Assistant: Is there a presidential election this year?
I wish, but my true reaction to that Q & A is: 🤦♂️
For years to come, historians will turn themselves inside out trying to explain how a country of 350 million people could find no one better than this racist thug to be its leader.
The emperor lost his clothes a long time ago. If he hasn’t gotten the message yet, it looks like American voters are getting ready to give it to him.
🤦♂️
