“The Criminal and Ruthless Donald Trump”
At left is one of the dozens of reasons that we need to get rid of Trump immediately.
Is There “Something Wrong” with Trump?
Obviously, but can it be scientifically and accurately diagnosed by some guy with a JD degree? No. Good on Pritzker for backing off on this question.
We need to content ourselves with the obvious:
a) Trump’s entire adult life has been shaped around his criminal tendencies and his callous disregard for anyone but himself.
b) This selfishness should have disqualified him from any governmental position. As some astute person said recently, and I paraphrase, He would be fired immediately if he were hired to manage a Subway franchise, or as assistant mayor of some town in a remote part of Kansas.
c) At this point, he has begun to lose his ability to express himself in a clear and lucid manner.
We live in a country that has lost its soul — and its mind.
Huge?
I’m not sure.
Minnesotans approve of Trump and Lindell right about where they place value on getting dog crap on their shoes.
Examining One of Trump’s “Assassination Attempts”
It’s weird that no one talks about this anymore (did we talk about it at all?), but how likely is it that the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in which he was supposedly hit in the ear by a round from an AR-15 didn’t leave a scar? Not even a scratch?
Why can’t some teenage cub reporter follow this down and show that the likelihood of this actually happening is like rolling a six on a die 1000 times in a row?

Fascism Has Come to America–Or Has It?
According to Trump’s head of Homeland Security, we, the American people, have two choices: stay silent against ICE agents’ grossly illegal and sometimes lethal violence against innocent people, or face “more bloodshed.”
This is what fascism looks like.
Yet, too many Americans are children or grandchildren of our brave ancestors who risked (or gave) their lives to defeat Hitler. I’m betting against Trump and the despicable people he’s nominated to top positions in his administration.
“All of This Could Have Been Avoided”
Yes, the call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger could have been the end.
But what about his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6th? His 34 felony convictions? His adjudication as a rapist? His profiting billions of dollars from his office? His accepting bribes for pardoning his wealthy donors convicted of fraud or those who beat up cops at the U.S. Capitol?
Most failed democracies didn’t have dozens of different opportunities to prevent their demise.
We have no one to blame but ourselves.

World Civility
While human civilization is far from perfect, most of the world’s people are kind and decent. Sure, there are rogue countries led by the most horrific dictators imaginable, yet all but one of the developed nations on Earth support their citizens with universal healthcare.
Of all the countries that played in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the United States is the only one that lets its people go through bankruptcies and die of treatable diseases because they can’t afford health insurance.

Americans Aren’t Happy Right Now
The most significant mistake Trump’s making currently seems to be a blend of his indifference to the wellbeing of our people and his broadly discredited, though constantly repeated claim that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
Each day, more U.S. voters are waking up to the facts that they’re unhappy and that this country is failing, big.
There’s a limit to their patience.
The End Game for the Trump Era
It’s hard to disagree with most of this.
That said, how long the damage will last is an open question. If Trump can be removed from office and then totally discredited with criminal prosecution, there is a reasonable chance that a) congressional Republicans will try to pretend none of this ever happened, b) a large percentage of his base will recant their loyalty, and c) virtually everyone around the globe will breathe a huge sigh of relief and let the world move on.
Twilight Zone Episode on Social Media
I suggest that it would end with essentially what we’re seeing right now. Instead of being used to spread harmony and scientific truth, it’s used to promote hate and divisiveness, while forwarding disinformation on important scientific matters on climate, vaccinations, and so forth.
Right before the closing credits roll, we learn that the most powerful country on Earth has elected a criminal sociopath, who’s destroying everything that its people had spent 250 years building up.
