In other news, retiring NIH Director, Doctor Anthony "the science" Fauci will be replaced by the creator of the new oral treatment, retired billionaire Politician Dr. Donald J. Trump.

Trump was unavailable for comment, but his lap dog Vlad was interviewed. Vlad related that Trump had celebrated late last night and was feeling "ruff" this morning. Trump will be assisted by Billionaire Bruce Wayne, a driving force in viral bat mobility.

Also good to see were the protests by the Russian people against Putin's war.

The increased accountability is heartening and I hope it leads to a decline in Trumpism.

Talk about A Hard Days Night….

I, for one, am doing the Happy Dance

Short of a jumpsuit matching his tan, I’d take him having an affliction leaving him uncoordinated, unable to speak, and in diapers.

If he dies, he just becomes a martyr to his cult followers

As the musical group Earth, Wind and Fire put it, 🎶Do you remember the 21st night of September 🎶

By the way, Trump has been Master-baited by Judge Dearie!😂

Great commentary Mr. Rather. I hope justice does prevail. Trump is always finding a way to dodge his crimes.

White people have stolen much wealth, access, opportunities positions and rights for the past 400 plus years, they have no concept of accountability and justice. He along with his accomplices and enablers need to all go to jail.

It felt a logjam just opened up. I was THRILLED to hear all three of these tidbits. THEN, Judge Dearie literally telling Trump to put up or shut up, was the icing on the cake. It saddens me that there are judges like Cannon mixed in with true judges like Dearie and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. How low can you go? Apparently not low enough in America and we all know this was happening prior to Trump as well.

I’m thinking some ketchup and cheeseburger has hit the wall @ Schmear-a-Lago.

When Trump was elected and the MAGA cult grew, everyone derided South Carolina congressman Jim Clyburn, a student of history, when he said the events occurring in the U.S. were eeringly similar to 1930s Germany. Many of us felt the same way. The Big Lie sealed the comparison for me. Is the following quote from Mein Kampf of the Art of the Deal?

“The size of a lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one...."

The best explanation to explain MAGA is this from the 1930s:

“The essence of Propaganda consists of winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it.”

You can guess who said that.

If Trump is not charged with a crime for stealing highly classified material, there will not be one country in the world that will trust the United States with confidential material...except, of course, Hungary. Turkey and other fascist regimes.

Just reading his makes me feel hope. You did leave out that he can just think about declassification and that’s how it works. The mind of a two year old.

Hope he gets everything he deserves, no more, no less!

Sure Trump commits fraud, but Wall Street commits this amount of fraud weekly and some of them do it daily. #Citadel

Ever hear of Dark Pools and Payment For Order Flow ?

Maybe the AG should put her big girl pants on and get to all of the scum, not just the politically motivated scum that puts her in mainstream media services.

Titantic references. Not enough life-boats. Women and children first. Errant Captaining. A dystopian future. The boat sinks.
