A simple game of self-respect.
You flick a switch and the world goes out.
Nobody jumps as you expect.
I would have thought you would have had enough by now...

Trump is our Hitler. Or our Hitler-want-to-be. The margin between the two grows thinner every day we let a soulless sociopath govern us.

Underaged girls who -- whether they consented on any terms -- engaged sex in with any significantly older man were raped, by legal and moral definition. My language works. It isn't your language. But it is accurate. And the opinions of any specific cohort do not make that language less so.

1) Sorry to attend to details, but Trump is and was not 19 years old at the time of the cited incidents. So what you wrote is simply specious.
2) The fact that he was so much considerably older than the victims is what wholly affirms that with a minor's consent or not, it is decidedly a rape.

underaged modifies it with the same precision.

The relentless carnival of misrule that is now America cannot be explained as merely maneuvers to distract from calls for documentation to be released regarding the president having fucked underaged girls. This hellscape suggests photos and film involving live boys, dead girls and small mammals.

If we are talking a small tactical nuke, odds are higher. The president's call was for obliterating an entire civilization. I'm going to stand pat on my guess.

It's hard to compass this reality, but I am having dinner with my son at 7 p.m. and before we look at a dessert menu there is a non-zero chance -- perhaps as high as 3-7%, given the mental and moral capacities of our president -- that a nuclear war will erupt. So maybe no dessert. Or maybe three.

To mark our president's 8 p.m. deadline and nuclear rhetoric that speaks of obliterating a civilization.

Where black is the color, and none is the number.

One thing we know is certain. If the President of the United States is in fact so untethered from morality and reality that he undertakes a nuclear strike tonight, the genocide will not have been viewed by the U.S. Speaker of the House, who will be unable to comment further.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:

Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

He has nukes.
He is a damaged fool.
Stop him.
Remove him.

I actually fear the worst. I think he's entirely capable of using nuclear weapons. And I fear that Hegseth has removed those who might question the order. These men are unfit, if not insane. So much so I will be perversely relieved if conventional ordnance merely murders thousands.

It's so sick.

George Will, who I loathe politically but who can turn a phrase or tso described football as the worst of America: Violence punctuated by committee meetings.

An argument can now be made that we would have been better off without our revolution. We'd now be a commonwealth such as Canada, and decidedly more functional.

What's the over/under on the first date that Donald Trump cracks the 30% floor for approval of his presidency in a major poll?

And for extra credit, what will be the precipitating disastrous event/soulless remark/moral degradation that knocks him down to 29% or lower?

Our president also coached the Venezuela national team to victory in the WBC. Regrettably, he's too modest and self-effacing to claim credit for it.
