Rational people can’t understand how Trumpers can remain devoted to him as his legal issues, moral and ethical failings, unrelenting lies and clearly apparent mental health problems accelerate.

One big reason is that most MAGAs never hear about them. They’re glued to Fox, and Fox is unglued from facts, reality and any sense of journalistic integrity. For example, Fox never once mentioned the $83.3 million dollars in damages a civil jury assessed Trump for serially defaming E. Jean Carroll after a jury had already found him liable for sexually abusing her.

I guess Fox just decided it wasn’t newsworthy.

Yes, we have a crisis at the border. No one denies it. No one. A bipartisan deal that would significantly improve our ability to control our bodies is reachable. And the proposed deal includes a heavy dose of Republican demands. So let’s do it, right?

Nah, Trump is trying to tank the deal. He’d rather prolong the immigration crisis so that he can blame Biden on the campaign trail for not fixing it. He demands that Biden fix this even as he prevents Biden from having a chance to fix it. Trump cares not a whit about the issue. He seeks only to exploit it.

And while we’re on the subject of border exploitation, what a piece of…work…Greg Abbott is. Abbott appears ready to ignore a SCOTUS decision that reaffirms federal sovereignty over immigration and border security issues, as is clearly stated in all legal precedents. But that won’t stop Dunceton Abby, who clearly is angling to be Trump’s running mate.

But at least Abbott has succeeded in “eliminating” rape in Texas, right?

The Republican National Committee scrapped a proposed resolution that would have named Trump the party’s “presumptive” presidential nominee, rendering the outcomes of remaining GOP primaries meaningless. But only after the RNC realized it was a bad look. Trump initially supported the idea, of course, until he realized he could appear gracious and small-d democratic by insisting the process play out.

Then he threatened anyone who contributes to Nikki Haley’s campaign with recrimination, ostracization and excommunication. How statesmanlike.

Israel had every right to defend itself and retaliate against Hamas following the October 7 attack. But under the direction of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has turned its “defense” into a wanton, merciless, unjustifiable campaign to slaughter Palestinian civilians—including children—in mass numbers. This “eradication” is a war crime under international law. Yes, the U.S. and Israel have had a “special” relationship since Israel was founded in 1948. But The Biden Administration must now make it clear to Netanyahu that America will not be a party to, and will not tolerate, these atrocities.

This is now a matter of OUR national security. The conflict is expanding, and Sunday claimed the lives of three American troops in a drone strike in Northeast Jordan. This could quickly fission out of control in the region—and beyond.

Say “no” to Netanyahu.
