IS THIS TRUMP PERFORMING "KAYFABE?"

 

Or is he in the throes of dementia and not able to censor his disturbing thoughts?

The comments below...

 

were in response to the New York Times' scathing editorial today, urging voters to reject Trump and his enablers in Congress. Trump told his MAGA cultists to pretend he's on the ballot. The NYT agreed with him and strongly advised voters to give him an incontestable message.

Here's the comment to that editorial and a follow-up comment to it:

Julio Wong El Dorado, OH · 7h ago 

This election should not be limited to a repudiation of Trump, It should be a repudiation of the Republican Party as a whole - specifically, its acquiescence to Trump; its embrace of anti-democratic and unconstitutional norms; its abandonment of truth, justice, and the social contract; and it’s corruption. Republicans up and down ballot are complicit in America’s recent decline. And they should all be held accountable at the ballot.

Jim Brokaw California · 4h ago @Julio Wong -- This! When a member of Congress takes office, they swear an oath to the United States Constitution - Not the president. Not a political party. They swear an oath to the entire nation through the Constitution. The position of being a member of Congress carries with it certain Constitutional duties and certain Constitutional privileges and powers. The Republicans in Congress have grossly and negligently broken and ignored their oaths of office by failing to do their Constitutional duty diligently and for the United States rather than their president, their party, and their own political careers. For this failing the Republicans in Congress all deserve and have earned defeat. Not all will fall in defeat in this election, but to the extent that many do lose, that they suffer the consequences of their negligence will perhaps be instructive to those who remain - and it certainly will be a restorative to the entire nation.

EVERY DAY...

 

we wake up to news about another slimy, unethical action taken by the criminal POTUS.

Here's the Trump administration's latest in dishonorable behavior:

Bishops lament White House meeting that produced photo with Trump, say session was "manipulated" and "exploited" October 26, 2026 / 8:14 AM EDT / CBS/AP

" ... We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president, not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House. 

 "I did not go without reservations. I wish I had heeded them," Grob concluded. "Please know that I have heard these concerns, understand how I caused them, and I apologize for any damage my actions have done."

Last week we learned that Republicans Ramaswamy, Trump, and Vance were okay with and even enthused about a political ad that exploited an opponent who was raped as a young girl and whose mother sided with her daughter's rapist over her own flesh and blood. I thought that was the bottom of the sewer.

But in the most Trumpian "Hold My Beer" unscrupulous and devious way, he "trumped" himself by running a political ad these clergy never agreed to nor would have participated in.

In his rabid, malevolent deteriorating mind, even deceiving God's emissaries on Earth is not off limits.

I shudder to think what this depraved man will do next.

Shout-out to Vivek!

 

Thank you, Vivek.

There was a real fear that voters would grow complacent and tune out all the noise in the final weeks of this election. Thanks to your ad and the fallout from it, people are mobilizing everywhere to take back their country.

So thank you for the ad. And thank you for not denouncing it -- but instead spending $4 million on an ad buy to run it on television. And thank you to everyone who fell into line defending it. The polls are reflecting it in Ohio, Georgia, Texas, Maine and on. 

You've done a great service to this country by helping to expose the filth underlying this administration and its supporters. 

And to think -- not long ago you were running the Doge program with Elon Musk. Now people are asking you if you're going to have to move out of Ohio.

Please keep it up.  —

YOUR SUNDAY MOMENT OF ZEN.

SATURDAY NIGHT FUNNIES

 

A break from the squalor that is currently residing in our White House.

This is what happens...

 

when a country gives a stupid, immoral  man power:

Dear America,

 

Your president is a disreputable, exploitative, unethical, morally bankrupt coward. In this nauseating post, the POTUS is actually taking the side of a mother who did not protect her little girl from being raped by her husband, her daughter's step-father. Would anyone ever dream that a POTUS would actually do something as hideously craven as this?

The Republican Party is now and will be forever associated with excusing and amplifying people who side with child rapists.

I would prefer the company of a sewer rat to his.

There are good Republicans who are not MAGA. Governor DeWine is one. So naturally Trump savaged him in his post today, because Trump is a horribly damaged human being. And our country suffers daily from his depravity.
