The felon is visibly deteriorating, his erratic behavior only emphasizes the danger he poses to democracy, but both Mamdani and the former military members stood their ground and won the day. Succumbing to the felon is definitely a losing proposition, it would be good if corporate media followed the example of these courageous people and printed the actual truth, instead of trying to placate a man who sees capitulation as weakness, not cooperation.

Yes, but most Republicans are either part of his cult, cowed into submission, or LIKE what they can gain from his unhinged failure to govern—while Corporate Democrats are either cowed into submission or LIKE what they can gain from his unhinged failure to govern.

There are Democrats with the moral courage to stand up to Trump—those are the ones the Neoliberal Clinton Democratic Party Machine HATES.

No, I'm not saying there's "no difference between the two parties"—but there IS a difference between Zohran Mamdani...and Schmuck Schumer.

I think you can predict Trump. For example, Putin beckons and Trump goes running to fulfill his ridiculous "peace" plan wishes, and then shares it out with people. Actually Russia leaked it first, just to cause a stir and to force Ukraine and Europe to have to sit down amidst other things they need to take care of and hash through the ridiculous document. Next we know he is going to waffle on each position he takes, and he will go back in another direction, then he will go back towards Putin, whom I hear is dangling crypto investments in front of them if they can bully Zelensky into signing this bill. I have learned that I love having an adult speaking for a country, and we don't get that with Putin or Trump, or any of the Republicans in Congress.

If Mamdani had been a woman he would have gotten a very different reception from Trump. Trump hates women! Women hate Trump. Those who do not are filled with self loathing.

I think it important to note that all this talk about “street smarts” and “3-D chess” are just part of the con. Trump is a schoolyard bully; a knee-jerk, not a thinker … he just lurches from one blurt to the next.

Flip, flop, etc. They can’t claim that Trump didn’t actually mean that the Democratic politicians who were brave - not only have they all have served our country well in their years of military service, but they were explicit in their statements regarding the dangers in following illegal orders- when Trump continues to post exactly what they are saying he didn’t say! What a cluster ****

...Or realistic, if you know better than to trust the kind of people who sided with Rancid Andy Cuomo even AFTER he begged Trump for help over Zohran Mamdani!
