Yesterday Trump said his favorability was at 60 percent.
How could he be so delirous? Because Natalie Harp only feeds him news that portray him as Christian Bale?
New CHANGING AMERICA podcast with radio star Thom Hartmann on how "furious" his callers are, Trump-Putin, Roberts-Fascism and how MSM are blowing it.

Trump asked a female journo re Acton's mom, "Why won't you believe mother about her daughter?"...then yelled over her answer. Ok #47:
*what about Hegseth's mom below?
*why aren't I surprised that a man accused of rape would side w/a family condoning rape of their 12 yr daughter?
Is there a more inspiring cinematic version of how American progressive partisans should be standing up to the Vichy government pretending to love America while they destroy her?
Viv la America!
Trump's a reactionary oligarch who merges self-love & self-delusion.
BUT...he was a bz man who liked landing on his feet by adapting to market realities.
Here's a very outside-the-box Plan B for President Houdini if GOP crashes Nov 3.
"DEAR DONALD" : bit.ly/4sr58PG
We're not Silver/Cohn/Cook/Sabato but would like to simplify 2026 w/12 days to go:
Dems need a net 4 seat gain to win Senate:
LIKELY pickups are 2: NC & OH.
VERY possible pickups are 6: MI, TX, AK, MA, IA, KS.
MAYBE 2: NE/FL?
Can they win 2+ of them? Probably..not certainly.
This is a crystal clear example of Trump's "reasoning" when facts-don't-lead-to-conclusions but conclusions-lead-to-facts.
It's a version of 'the Black guy did it" -- since Muslims are a convenient scarecrow, blame them in the expectation that truth won't catch up to myth.
President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that foreign leaders — including those “on the other side of the Atlantic” — were seeking to exploit France’s tense social climate for political gain following a weekend of street violence and looting.
Protests over soaring living costs have led to widespread rioting and looting that have drawn worldwide attention and shocked many French citizens. U.S. President Donald Trump has used the violence to rally his political supporters, making unsubstantiated claims that Muslim migrants are responsible for the unrest.
Final Performances:
*While selling out Ukraine, Don lauds Vlad as 'humanitarian" for releasing U.S. captive.
*while collaborating to deny Starlink to Ukr, Musk shows off flying car and - like J.D. Rockerfeller handing out dimes - promises to give a share of stock to all kids.
Also, in a tight re-elex w/Gen. McClennan in 1864, Lincoln was under pressure to end Civil War by a cease- fire that allowed Confederacy to keep slavery. He refused.
Trump brags he's in the party of Lincoln. But compared to Abe's big decision, #47 is proving to be no #16.
I'm so pissed.
We're supposed to stay civil with a bully who incites violence agst Omar, calls Abdul "Mohammed", says black female reporters are scum/stupid, sells pardons for $$ and can't talk without bragging or lying.
Other than SMiller neo-nazis, aren't his ppl ashamed?

Update from "Breaking Bad" news for DJT: shorturl.at/stH8V
*w/3 nasty docs out on A.I./Musk + hatred of data centers, will fury at tech rise?
*To salage Nov, will #47 try final Oct Surprise - deport Omar to excite racists? invade Cuba? big bomb on Iran? Something...
WARREN vs. BESSANT not a fair fight.
D and R Senators alike would privately tell you that Warren is about the smartest Senator on fiscal and macroeconomic affairs having taught it for decades.
TIMELY SUBSTACK as News is "Breaking Bad" for DJT.
Will his late losing streak -- Inflation up...Zacharia/ Guilfoyle/Firing Squad all fired...#47 serial loser in court... Zelenskyy gives Trump/Putin the finger -- move swing undecideds in this final lap? shorturl.at/stH8V
After the Guilfoyle debacle, it'd be awkward pre-midterms for Trump to fire his new press-person...but how can someone survive being a proven liar in her first public appearance?
Maybe a no-apologies White House can assert she's the perfect pick for the lying-ist POTUS ever?
.@KatieZacharia is not a lawyer and has never been licensed to practice law. The @WSJ reports this evening that she took the California Bar Exam but failed.
Nevertheless, Zacharia appeared on media programs for YEARS and repeatedly called herself a lawyer.
Here's a super cut:
Correction Box: should have been "jaundiced eye," not "mind." Whatever.
Phang and Wagner brilliantly defrock Alito's and CBS's "interview."
While nauseating, they show how he justifies his right-wing thinking and decision-making...bringing to mind the legal axiom, "to the jaundiced mind, all looks yellow."

"Racism hurts everyone." - Heather McGhee
With that powerful explanation, Heather details in our CHANGING AMERICA podcast how Dems in 2026 can rally a multi-racial coaltion to win back America.

Thanks to The Roberts Six, Trump is partly right.
They decided after 250 years to give significant criminal immunity to presidents just when we had a budding fascist.
Perfect timing by Justice Balls-and-Strikes!

What a thug.

on late cheating to escape losing on 11/3 & why he's likely to repeat historic descent of prior GOP thugs like McCarthy/Nixon/RoyCohn going from powerful to pitiful - from toast-of-the-town...to toast.
