"The president is morally sick. ... The post is deranged, pathologically narcissistic, crude, stupid, and cruel. No human adult outside a psych ward expresses such thoughts. To have them at all is evidence of a twisted soul. ... the United States has muddled along with other dim presidents. Where Trump occupies a category all his own is in his breathtaking moral depravity."
~ Mona Charen
"His multiple emotional and psychological issues — the malignant narcissism, the pathological lying, the utter, sociopathic absence of empathy, and yet also an almost childlike manipulability — would be disturbing enough in an unemployed drifter. Manifested by the most powerful man on Earth, they amount to a global emergency."
~ Andrew Coyne

"If a prominent liberal is killed, the president can mock them, blame them for their own death, and make it about himself. No one will be fired for celebrating. No one will be investigated. No one will lose their visa.
That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
The mourning requirements were never about principle. They were a loyalty test dressed up in the language of civility. And now Trump has made that impossible to deny."
"If a prominent conservative is killed, you must mourn publicly and appropriately. Quoting their own words is not allowed. Pointing out the consequences of their rhetoric is not allowed. Criticizing how their allies respond is not allowed. Failing to show sufficient grief is grounds for termination, investigation, deportation, or FCC action against your employer."
"What I find more interesting is the response — or the lack of one — from the people who spent the fall building databases of Kirk critics and demanding mass firings.
Where is Libs of TikTok declaring 'THIS IS WAR' over Trump’s callousness? Where are the calls from JD Vance to show basic human decency? Where is Pete Hegseth directing staff to identify anyone who celebrated or mocked this family tragedy?"
"Vile. Reprehensible. Evil. These words somehow are not enough to describe Trump’s comments. Even worse — his post was amplified by the White House across their official accounts. They were proud of the remarks."
"What we received instead from Donald Trump was something far darker.
This morning, Trump published a post mocking Rob Reiner’s death. He did not merely withhold condolences. He weaponized the moment. In a statement that defies decency, Trump claimed Reiner died 'reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.'”
Repulsive.
I’m at a loss for words. I didn’t know I could be more ashamed of my president than I already was.
There is no bottom. It's just unending narcissism and hatred.

Here is my Ukraine peace proposal:
1. Putin is sent to The Hague.
2. Russian soldiers leave Ukraine including Crimea.
3. Russia returns all kidnapped Ukrainian children.
4. Russia releases all Ukrainian prisoners.
5. Russia pays damages for everything their war has destroyed.
6. Russia pays damages to Ukrainian families who have lost family members.
7. Russia pays damages to every person who has been tortured, abducted or otherwise criminally mistreated.
8. Ukraine becomes a member of the EU.
Remember that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley
Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal
Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz
Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics
Every MAGA accusation is a confession
I am begging my fellow brits to understand that every initiative to "tackle the immigration problem" or "crack down on benefits fraud" is designed to do exactly two things:
1) make your life worse, for the benefit of those already better off than you
2) ensure that you place the blame on people who are powerless, instead of questioning why the people with the power to improve things keep making them worse (while you inexplicably cheer them on and demand that they do it even more)
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

THIS IS THE INSANITY YOU VOTED FOR!
we really really (REALLY) are in a moment of great cultural change and now is our chance to create out of nearly whole cloth the world that we want to live in

Fascists being unable to force the resistance to riot has been clarifying *for both sides*.
Non-violence is the great weapon of every resistance movement.
**there is a reason why all our narratives say it doesn't work**
the only way they can stop us is by convincing us not to resist
