He’s a sick SOB. We have to stop the madness. So scummy and creepy. It’s out of hand and the more desperate he gets the worse it gets

Anyone notice how much the United States and its leadership resemble the last years of the Roman Empire: gaudy, disgusting displays of wealth, self-aggrandizing monuments, sycophantic political figures, greed and graft to the moon and beyond while the ordinary people get poorer, military actions to control the people and grab wealth for the empire, spectacles of brutality for entertainment. And, by the way: the empire fell.....

VOTE like your life depends upon it simply because it DOES!

We must vote each and every Republican out of office at every level of government. No exceptions. If they never spoke out against Trump then they support him. Release the TRUMP-Epstein files.

A complete abomination much like everything this corrupt and ghastly administration does.

Oh for the Love of Country and God (however you see Him) --- how do we get him where he belongs? in an orange jumpsuit serving time doing no harm!!!

Oh goody, I can't wait to see Trump vs RFK, or better yet Putin vs Hegseth. Other likely matches could be brought in. That way they could prove once and for all that they are all lacking in Grey matter, for everyone to see. Colorful diapers could be worn and that would send ticket prices soaring. What a boost for the economy.

Another Trump desecration is slipping under the radar - heʻs going to gild the 4 bronze horse statues near the Lincoln Memorial with real 23 carat gold. Massive waste of money. https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/trump-administration-spends-5-million-to-coat-horse-statues-around-lincoln-memorial-in-gold-leaf/ar-AA24lw6t?ocid=socialshare

Any republican ice gestapo could exhibit their cruelty to applause by immoral ignorance.

Mr. Rather,

With respect (meant sincerely), why not disparage MMA fighting or its fans? As mentioned in another comment (and maybe more than one), this is twisted behavior and it is illegal to allow chickens, dogs, and other animals to fight like this. It is brutal and extremely violent. It is, in my mind, not human. I'm deeply sad for people who engage in this, whether as fighters, spectators, or promoters, and I believe they are--inside or outside the cage--unwell. It is a symbol of the basest of humanity, a monument to human depravity, the epitome of human malice, a beacon of moral bankruptcy. Simply disgusting.

He’s just doing this to amp up his base (what’s left of it) and to compensate for the tough guy he is not. A waste of taxpayer dollars. Get out and VOTE.

Twisted that is OK for humans to pound the brains out of each other in a cage, or power-slap each other to senselessness. Of course in contrast, this is illegal to fight chickens, dogs, etc. for sport.

Brutalism as a symbol of our republic, which some of us are fighting hard to keep; brutality as the modus operandi of drumpf's evil and idiotic sycophants and followers. How it the U.S. under drumpf different from the Germany of the 1930s and 40s? I think the sane ones among us need to stand shoulder to shoulder and sing Bette Midler's wonderful anthem "All You Fascists Gonna Lose."

Mr. Rather: your commentary is spot-on as usual. From my own thoughts after reading this Steady post: mmmm, Pretty sure Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was supposed to be a cautionary tale.

Beyond perverted, but, that is what the Church endorses. Republican Party has gone Mud Wrestling. Next there will be Kid Rock kicking RuPauls ass.

Are they going to cover the whole shebang with a giant circus tent?
