33% approval: Good -- that's low and getting lower. Bad -- it's still much higher than it would be in a sane society.

Specifically, we should demand criminal prosecution of all who publicly stated that they had evidence implicating 2 men they named as vandals who had damaged the reflecting pool. There was NO vandalism and NO evidence to suggest vandalism. They are demonstrably guilty of deliberate slander.

Religion prizes faith over facts: 🔷 Bible-besotted Christians do not question their faith in the Bible when its self-contradictions are listed. Apologists reassure those who waver. 🔷 MAGAt's do not question their faith in Trump when his crimes are listed. Right-wing media reassure those who waver.

They trust Trump. Everything follows from that. This is why we must recognize that MAGA is not a political movement; it is a religion. And religion prizes faith and magical thinking over facts and reason.

I think it is worth asking this, continually, repeatedly: MAGA... What is it like to live with no sense of shame? No regard for morality? No interest in truth and facts? No concern about America losing the respect of the world?

Well, that's what America is about, right? That's why we had a revolution to gain our independence, right? That's what Jesus wants, right? 🙄

Why is Trump having his toadies attack Dr. Anthony Fauci? 1. It provides another distraction from Iran, tariffs, Epstein, etc. 2. It invents a scape-goat for COVID. 3. It panders to the anti-science knuckle-draggers of MAGA.

Dr. Fauci also has >1000 citations on PubMed--that is, >1000 papers published in peer-reviewed medical journals. That is an incredible record of professional accomplishment.

MAGA reply: "We are proud to be poorly educated if being well educated means doubting Donald Trump."

The cowardly news media are covering the witch-hunt against Dr. Fauci as if it were a legitimate inquiry. No! THIS is the story: To distract attention from his idiotic war and his Epstein link, Trump got his toadies to attack a renowned (>1000 papers in peer-reviewed journals) physician-scientist.

It seems obvious that all claims about voter fraud are based on DHS officials digging a lump of shit out of their asses and presenting it to the public as authoritative information.

Even if we survive, it will take a long time to repair the damage Trump has done to the nation; especially, damage to America's reputation. Why should any nation trust us given our unwillingness or inability to impeach a convicted felon who committed graft openly and subverted COTUS at every turn?

Meidas headline: "NBC News reports Trump is privately furious with aides over the lack of an endgame in the Iran war" It is normal that infants soil their diapers and parents clean them up. There is nothing normal about the Infant-in-Chief shitting on everything and expecting others to clean it up.

Exactly so. And one other group wants it: Corporations looking to lay off as many paid employees as possible. So we are ruining the environment for the benefit of the rich and powerful who want to deceive us and/or to get rid of us. Yeah, that makes sense. Yay, MAGA.

We sometimes look at new products that come onto the market, and we ask "Who ordered this? Who needs this? What kind of person would even want this? What good is it?" I am no luddite but I now ask these questions about an entire tech industry: AI. Who needs it? Who wants it? What good does it do?

MAGA, please tell us: What is it like to live with absolutely no sense of shame?

I'd like a reporter to ask Moses Mike Johnson: "Are you claiming that God supports the party of fascist pedophiles and pedophile protectors who spend their days defiling the teachings of Jesus? That's who God supports?"

Oh... So God loves Republicans... you know, the party of Nazi pedophiles who spend their days defiling the teachings of Jesus. Good to know.

Do AI assistants accomplish anything besides eliminating paid employees? Maybe 1 in 10 times, AI is helpful. Mostly, I waste hours trying to explain the issue and asking to speak with a person, and then holding on ENDLESSLY while being assured that "the next available agent will be with you soon."

Don't assume a "blue tsunami" based on Trump's dropping approval ratings. Hate-driven MAGAt's may be unhappy but they will still vote for him. In the MAGA religion, all this is just a test of their faith (cf. believers may grumble at God during times of danger and sorrow, but they remain faithful).
