Former Republican lawmaker Joe Walsh said, “Any one of these from a previous president would have rightly caused widespread open speculation from the press and the public that something was genuinely wrong with their brain,” he said on X.

“There should be coverage of Trump’s cognitive decline. Massive coverage,” the ex-congressman said. “Because it’s an issue. A huge issue.”

  • Photos of Trump portrayed as the pope
  • Photos of Trump as a muscle-bound Jedi (or Sith).
  • Trump quote: “I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy.”
  • Trump was asked, “Your secretary of state says everyone who’s here, citizens and noncitizens, deserve due process… Do you agree?” The president then replied, saying, “I don’t know… I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know.”

    All the people behind trump don’t have the 40% cult followers to back them up. Look at all of the republican elections, they’re the ones getting blamed.

      I genuinely appreciate your optimism.

      I submit that once they’re finished dismantling our institutions and rule of law, they won’t need popular support anymore.

      We’ll see. I hope I’m wrong.

        Trump is better at it this time, but he did all of the same shit his first term. Look how quick Biden fixed it or got it going back on the same track. Was Biden perfect? Nah, but he was a great president. We can’t get despondent.

        Someone posted a Bush article and a Reagan article, they were pretty horrific. They just hid it better. We’ve been down this road before. I’m not saying it’s going to be a good time, but we can fix this.

          How can we fix it if checks and balances are gone, the legislative branch is steamrolled by executive order, and judicial rulings can be completely ignored by the executive branch?

          There may not be elections anymore going forward.

          It’s not despondency, it’s realism. They’re working the Nazi playbook. This is how liberal democracies die.

            You’re not wrong, but democracy is dying, it’s not dead. We have to fight for it by protesting, voting and volunteering.
