America will NOT return him to office. I’m obviously no authority on it, but it won’t happen. Even if Biden is a year older and they don’t like Kamala (which is still confusing), voters who aren’t MAGA true believers won’t go through that again. There were millions of voters in 2016 who simply wanted a change, a real curveball that could have real impact on their lives. It didn’t happen, and instead corruption was far worse, nobody was really operating as potus those 4 years (trump famously stayed in his bedroom until 11:00 a.m., barely read anything and golfed more than any other potus), and Trump did nothing to actually help his base. Trump at his zenith of political power LOST as the incumbent by over 7 Million votes. Then, the insurrection, sexual assault verdict and multiple indictments. It. Ain’t. Happenin.
I remember a lot of people confidently making the same prediction in 2016 after the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape came out, among other things. I'm not taking anything for granted unless he keels over dead prior to Jan 6th, 2025.
That painter dude adds them in along with muscles and Abraham Lincoln telling Trump he’s the greater president as he rides his unicorn Pegasus that breathes fire.
MtP was a 🤡 show before that interview was an outrage. She let's the firehouse of lies spew and never stops the tape to correct. Was some deal struck? Olbermann says she was present at a dinner on Mil. Prior to R debate with Lewandowski and others.
"Welker never debunks the abortion fearmongering lies of “after-birth abortions” nor pushed back on this in person. Instead, Welker edited in an addendum in the broadcast that kinda conceded the point of Trump’s lies.
WELKER: One important fact we do want to highlight: abortions later in pregnancy are exceedingly rare."
In defense of Welker, she did air the disclaimer right after Trump lied about it, so if you were watching the show, like I was, she was basically calling him a liar. If Dems had any brains, we'd use his flipflopping abortion lies against him in our advertising. Luckily for Trump, we won't do that.
Even screenshots of him are gag reflex inducing. I wish they would default to a network call signal, or a kitten, Bugs Bunny, anything other than the greasy orange freak :)
On why he didn't send help to break up the January 6 riot: TRUMP: I assumed that [Pelosi] took care of it […]
So....America, this is the guy who wants to be your president again. The guy who, as President, saw a crazed armed mob attack the seat of the US government, and "assumed that [someone else would] take care of it." True Leadership!!!
I don't think any of his statements are the slam dunk admission of guilt they are purported to be. They all have so much squishyness to them, his attorneys could reinterpret them in court.

Now you are really whispering the sweet talk. “…he keels over…”
I prefer "God Emperor of MAGAkind" as a title for him, suits him better than "MAGA King". All he's missing is golden armor and a flaming sword.
He already looks just as decomposed as the God Emperor, at least.

Peter Baker: disingenuous hack or ninnyhammer?
YES!
A: Regardless, he is SO overpaid.
Apologies, I'm not able to respond to comments due to something called ublock origin. Thanks for the kind feedback!!!
You can tell ublock to proceed despite its misgivings. You can also tell it never to warn you about substack again.

I think it’s a great idea to have to Trump face a “tough, independent interviewer.” When can we see that happen, corporate media?
How about never, is never soon enough for you. Because that’s exactly when it will be.
Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, and George Stephanopoulos all would've shamelessly kissed $hitler's ass, too.
The corporate media exists to enforce kleptocracy for their billionaire masters and white trash supremacy.
Those soulless, lying whores would say anything for a buck--and that goes double for Peter Baker and the New York Slimes.
Could we get Dan Goldman to be a guest host?
Sorry dear writer but you wrote 'Trump, like a busted sewer line...'. HE IS A BUSTED SEWER LINE!!!!
"Donald John Barron Trump."
`
Barron Tiffany Princess Queen King.
It's almost like he's desperately trying to overcompensate for something.

Please , don't besmirch the legacy of Bugs Bunny by association with TFG.
I apologize! Also, huge thanks to Robert for instructing me how to avoid UBlock :)))
"It cannot be that a person can run for president of the United States...without ever being challenged by a tough, independent interviewer"
You're right. Can we get one of those? Cuz so far, we don't have one.
Perhaps someone from the foreign press?
Peter Baker would tongue bathe TFG in a heartbeat if he thought it would be an "exclusive" interview.
I'd like to see one of these long interviews with Trump, with Mehdi Hassan doing the interrogation.
Agreed. Jonathan Swan chewed him up; Mehdi would spit him out.
In bloody chunks.

The buck stops.. somewhere over there, I dunno.
His pocket.
I've liked Kristen Welker for a long time and I'm deeply disappointed in her, and by disappointed I mean she can fuck right off back to local news.
I like the Megyn Kelly career path.
it's cute that Welker apparently thinks that he won't make everything about himself.
Apparently NBC has never seen or read any Trump interviews. WTF?
She sucks.
I don't think any of his statements are the slam dunk admission of guilt they are purported to be. They all have so much squishyness to them, his attorneys could reinterpret them in court.
And even a mediocre prosecutor should be able to reinterpret them right back....
He didn't say he ordered all the fake electors. He said it was his opinion the election was rigged.
Just playing devil's advocate. The click bait headlines all weekend "OMG he admitted his guilt" seems a bit of a stretch.
