He painted his own ass into a corner on that one. Let's not let him get out....

“This New Year offers us a chance to come together and prove it”. Stay defiant. Keep resisting.

As the SCOTUS under revisionist Chief Justice John Roberts works hard to destroy the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and nullify all the rulings following it, we know Donny craves the return of Jim Crow.

The funny thing is, much of our progress in areas such as the arts and technology since the 1950s can be credited, in part or whole, to non-whites and immigrants. When Donny 'purifies' America we'll become a stagnant pool of water, dank and smelly.

Lumps of beautiful, beautiful clean coal.

With the horribleness of everything, it is easy to miss that the energy "policy" is three words long and makes absolutely no sense: "Drill baby drill". Or when that isn't good enough, attack or threaten to attack Venezuela.

Thanks to all of you. Still wondering what it would take for so many Americans to decide that Trump is a disaster in progress and for the MSM see itself for what it is.

I was scared of Ghosts when I was really young. Those ghosts that lurked under the bed. ---Then came Casper the Friendly Ghosts--and then came growing up. But frankly I hope the Ghosts of past, present and future haunt the White House, the Supreme Court, the Republican House and Senate. Will things change? Not sure, but I live in hope that the Blue Ghosts will help point the way to change. Thanks Lisa. Always enjoy your articles for helping to point the way. Take care.

You'll forgive me (I hope) for being a lump of coal in the Christmas stocking, but despite reading more than a few articles about how Trump is fading, we have this: Trump is still the president, Hegseth is still secretary of defense ordering war crimes, ICE goon squads are still arresting nonviolent immigrants, and Dems are giddy about an election in which their candidate lost by 9 points. And, worst of all in my opinion, who knows how many people will die because of a whack--job lunatic running our health department. What I want to read about is how we stop these authoritarian creeps from doing their damage in the here and now, and not pin our hopes on the ever-elusive Epstein files, and an election 11 months out. Because I still don't see anyone actually stopping Trump from taking a wrecking ball to American democracy. Like I said, I'm a lump of coal. Sorry.

I completely agree with you. I am tired of all the prognosticating as well. With gerrymandering, the electoral college, the corrupt Supreme Court, the unmovable 35% who love the fat fuck, and the lack of creative thinking and spine in the Democratic Party, I feel like a lump of coal as well.

Thank you for the article. We have three years to put up with this administration. Hopefully those years will wind down quickly. I’m sure the Democrats will have their hands on this.
