Remarkable is one of my favorite words which I may never use again after this report. Sad commentary on the state of America and the main stream news

It's a remarkably effective word when not used as a sane washing device.

I laughed so hard at first I thought this was satire. Sadly it’s real. But the resemblance between trump and Robert Redford is uncanny! 😏

I've reached the point with satire that I always include an alert that it's satire because it's gotten so hard to tell the difference. He's even ruined satire. Unbelievable.

It is grotesque that people allow this mentally ill, evil POS to run America. Shame on all of the enablers. Shame must be like a drug for them. They lap it up.

Ass kissing , ball fondling , boot licking I could go on, but sane washing? No that “ship sailed”. That Sir was a master class in mandatory visit with Grandpa just as the sundowning kicks in. Calm congenial Trump after 5pm. Look at the difference between that so called interview, and whatever that speech to the republicans was on Jan 6 . Even his voice is different. He’s a medicated dementia patient, that much is clear.

The NYT has completely destroyed its own reputation with sane washing the felon. I don’t subscribe to media that spins politics so that an insane, demented man appears ‘normal’. He is nowhere near normal, he has never approached normalcy even when he was a child. He threw stones at his neighbor’s young child. I would have definitely lost my cool if I happened to be that parent.

The owners, the Ochs-Sulzberger family, probably get money from trump under the table. It's one of Trump mentor Roy Cohn's oldest tricks. Unless maybe there's a cleaner explanation for why he hasn't tried to put them out of business.

Love the snark. Hate you have a subject like this to write about. I’m so devastated over these last few days. 🙄.

“Remarkable” IS a flexible word!!! 👍🏻

Final thought- How have we become a country in which the only limits on an elected official’s behavior is his own morality. Why not more hue and cry?
