More winning: Trump announces what we've all suspected: he's not a smart president. He's starting to sound like Forrest Gump: "I'm not a smart president . . ." Trump declared that a smart president would not allow the dollar to weaken on his watch, not knowing that the dollar literally has weakened 10% since Trump took office, which is the worst performance since 1973. Trump said if you have a dummy (in office) that could happen. Well, it did happen, and it happened to you, you big dummy! Trump Inadvertently Admits He’s Not a ‘Smart President’
People are claiming that every time the president tells a lie, "Donald Trump the Cat" has his nose grow. Things are getting strange around here. And, no, that's not Melania's breasts that Donald Trump is checking out. I mean Donald Trump the Cat. They also say that Donald Trump's eyes grow green with envy if he sees a woman with larger breasts on television. I mean Donald Trump the Cat again. Remarkable resemblance, no?
Ahh, old footage. Can't get enough of it. Is it possible that someone once asked Donald Trump if he was a sexual predator in an on-camera interview, and he mouthed the words, "It's true" in response? Let's ask Snopes . . . Investigating claim Trump laughingly agreed with being called a 'sexual predator' on 'Howard Stern Show'
Because 500 million Europeans need 300 million US folks, err money, to protect them from 140 million Russians....yeah, you're free to volunteer your services to the defense of Europe, or are you just going to run your mouth waiting for someone else to do it?
One wonders if the Trump administration would do something to protect child-molesting priests. Decide for yourself. Trump intervenes to help block law requiring priests report child abuse in confession
Catholic priests would go to jail before they would reveal ANYTHING they heard as a confession of crimes in the confessional.
The privilege between priest and confessional is pretty clear, kind of like client-attorney privilege, journalistic freedom of the press, etc. Govt cannot expect to pierce that privilege where it’s expressely forbidden (although we see them more and more trying to threaten journos, and now this admin even threatens public defenders, so it’s something else they’d take this type of opposite hardline position to protect predators). It could never be used in a criminal case I don’t think, not sure that’s what Washington state was after, but surely Child protective services could be expected/required to get involved if abuse is reported? I think in this case, perhaps the ruling is correct in a technical legal sense. But the Catholic Church’s position itself is DISGUSTING, especially with their history of scandal and covering up child sex abuse. Are they kidding!? So their “win” here further enshrines their ability to shield sexual abusers and ensure children will continue to be victimized perhaps YEARS after it could have been stopped. Ummm… congrats?
More winning! Trump expert Michael Wolff has 100 hours of audiotapes from interviews with Epstein and other evidence supporting Trump. The secret recordings that could blow open Trump’s true relationship with Epstein Trump fans should be impressed with this evidence of Trump's presidential qualifications: President Bone-spurs is also President Stain-shorts. Very presidential, dare I say dignified, indeed.
Treasury officials report strongest non-pandemic gain in business equipment production since 1997. (With apologies to Marxists)
Good news, we got back a convicted triple murderer and released him into the public. And all we had to do was send a bunch of people convicted of literally nothing (including immigration violations) to a gulag in a foreign country and then send some of them back to an oppressive government that wants to harm them to get this fine, upstanding citizen back into the US, where he will face no consequences for his crimes.

The Donald is winning at the polls. In fact, there has only been one president who has polled worse than Dimwit Donald Trump six months into a term. You might guess it was Richard Nixon, with the Watergate scandal rumors sneaking up on him. Not so. It turns out that the only president to poll worse than Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States, six months into a term was Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. Yes, Trump is THAT freaking pathetic of an excuse for a president. Although, for a pedophile, he's polling pretty well. Trump seems to combine the worst qualities of Richard Nixon (enemy lists), Herbert Hoover (poor people? that's their problem), Jimmy Carter (malaise economy), Andrew Johnson (demagoguery), and Bill Clinton (life dedicated to under-age skirt-chasing). I just can't figure out why he's polling so badly. Guess Who Was the Only President Less Popular Than Trump Right Now? | The New Republic
