Rational people don't see the trumpery (look up the word) because there is a well-organized propaganda campaign manipulating what they see and hear as news. We all get our information from some news source; we are not there to see for ourselves. I am not as concerned about the antics of the clown in this circus as I am about the 'ring master(s)' planning to drop the Big Top on our heads. The clown is distracting us.

His current act-up in the court room, 45 has either literally lost his mind, he is counting on some form of a coup before he is forced to pay the money awarded by jury and judge, or his behavior is just that said distraction. We are talking about him, not the Federalists, rich supporters, Project 25, etc.

Are we all being manipulated as much as the FOX folks?

Can't stop fox, but surely mainstream media should be reporting tfg in a way that informs the people that are not taking it all in as the very real threat that is the truth.

No more acting like he needs to be given so much benefit of doubt. Even those not paying real close attention, know that things are not normal.

All the playbooks on how to steal a Democracy shows us what is going on. I believe things are going according to his desire. But, beyond all his devious and even diabolical plans are some things being helped along and lot just randomly falling in line. He has developed a some evil ways in his 77 God-for-saken years that he knows well. Putee and his ray cone were his favorite models

Tell me how much Puteee, xi. Bibi and Iran are just going along. Add the GQP and that is a conspiracy that I could finally go along with. I have went from not believing JFK theories to agnostic.

But. then everything has been turned upside down in the last 8 years and we have to turn our whole way of viewing our world. He means it and we cannot act like all is well, as if he didn't mean it or like Susan saying he learned his lesson. More like the closing remarks from Adam

Schiff told us, he did it and he will do it again just like green eggs and ham, he will do it again and again.

I hope that was not just a rant, but I will end just in case

Do you think the red spots on his hand everyone is wondering about are an allergic reaction to his own speech?????

We know who Trump is, and what he is. It's no mystery. If you're a professional journalist (that leaves out all of Fox News), then you know all about him. So why say and write those dumb things? That's the question for me. Does the Times really want Trump to win again? Do the cable news orgs? Is it all about ratings and the bottom line?

Right wing attacks on public education began in California under Gov. Reagan. He ended tuition-free college education for California residents. Critics at the time wrote the Governor thought the 60’s youth rebellion against Vietnam War was caused by students educated at California’s community colleges and universities.

Later, California’s Proposition 13 passed, and property tax revenues dedicated to fund schools, colleges and universities was forever “capped”.

In 1980, New Mexico’s right wing state lawmakers successfully passed legislation which repealed a law which invested property tax revenues in the state’s public schools, colleges and universities.
