A decade into our collective Donald Trump nightmare,
most of the reality-based population has given up on hoping MAGA voters will wake up and see the light.
We’ve come to realize that he could eat a live kitten on TV and they, unwilling to admit his critics were right all along,
would argue that kitten was “antifa” and liberals are the ones who are stupid for not seeing the threat the kitten posed to our safety.
I predicted this miserable state of affairs back in 201…

The chance that Trump's ballroom will actually be built is rapidly disappearing.
Perhaps it could have if Trump had delegated the management of the project to someone competent,
but that’s not what he does.
Instead, the famously lazy and disorganized president decided to blow off his actual governance duties in favor of micromanaging a construction project he is incapable of handling.
Finishing the ballroom in the next three years would be difficult for anyone,…

Donald Trump is worried that Republicans aren’t as afraid of him as they used to be.
Despite his self-billing as a dealmaker,
the president has only ever had one tool to control his party: fear.
GOP politicians have been afraid of career damage and literal physical harm if they crossed him.
Trump is not above reminding elected officials that he has unhinged followers who are known to be violent.
But as his approval ratings fall and the 2026 midterm elections …

Antifa,

The president recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a “domestic terrorist organization,”
which is not a legal designation.
His memo was so thick with lies that it would take a week to debunk them all.
Antifa is not “a militarist, anarchist enterprise,”
nor does it use “illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism.”…
