I doubt that any of his followers who bought that T-shirt would be aware that the additional island at the top is Greenland.

Right, because if you're going to share state secrets with the Russian ambassador in the Oval Office, "security" is no longer a concern, either.

Are those wrinkles? I thought they were scars.

Here is a passage from one of many books that I have about the plot to assassinate Hitler, stating that he, "was a man whom few people genuinely loved. He was idolized by millions, but idolatry is not love. It is perverted faith, expressed by fawning."Does that sound like any contemporary political figure we know?

Oh, c'mon -- we all know you're really LQTM (laughing quietly to myself).

All the more reason to support every Democratic candidate for the Senate. Even getting Pete or Kamala or (goddess help us) Handsome ol' Joe in the White House won't mean squat unless the Dems have a majority there.

And this from the season 7 episode "The Ticket" from The West Wing: "Forget about a four-year term. The presidency is eighteen months -- that's your window. After that, there's midterms. No one on the Hill's got time to deal with you -- they're too busy trying to get re-elected. Then suddenly . . . you're running again."

That's Leo McGarry (the late John Spencer) explaining the political realities to up-and-coming Democratic presidential nominee Matt Santos. It's as true today as it was when that episode was made 14 years ago. Winning the presidency is good, but little will be accomplished without having both houses of Congress.

His supporters can't tell the difference. And too racist to care.

Epic troll *by accident*

An epic troll: we should praise Tom Cotton for pranking the PeeResident and making him look stuppid, and express to be pleasantly surprised that he's one of us. Steven Colbert can issue an invite.

Plus, now all the players in all the governments worldwide the he alienated are just running out the clock. Avoid and ignore the WH, dealing with lunacy is impossible. Wait for the next election.

Let me get this straight:

The Trump Administration successfully lobbied Denmark to block China from building three military bases in Greenland.

And Trump’s next move is gratuitous insults to Denmark’s Queen and Prime Minister.

So Tehran Tom is tired of his moniker and wants to be called "Greenland Tom" now? Sorry but I still prefer the first one.

It's how he rolls. THEY should feel PRIVILEGED to do things in His name! Why should he be grateful to them or Trump forbid, POLITE to them in return?

The Big Con is crumbling. Even though most already knew they just had to see the degree of dereliction that comes with El Trumpo before they could truly believe.

Why didn't he offer to buy part of Ukraine? Sure they would have to work out that silly title dispute that's been going on, but hey, Crimea recently was transferred between countries for peanuts, so I hear.
