The r-word-in-Chief is ineligible for a third term. Never mind the bastard old man would fall asleep during his own inaugural address. I know the moron likes to yank the chain of leftists, but the SOB is so delusional that he actually believes his sh*t. https://t.co/HeWuJCN3O5

What he did was bankrupt his own company 3 (actually 6) times. He got his ass kicked in the 2020 election. You have to be mentally ill to believe Trump's sore loser rhetoric.

The Felon-in-Chief has no "right" to rob taxpayers no matter how he tries to gaslight and launder the stolen money. The imbecile thinks that he can gaslight citizens and get them to thank him for stealing from them. He is the most corrupt POTUS in history. https://t.co/WX23yQ43pJ

A classic example is Trump's tariff wars on steel and aluminum. Not only is the "gain" small, limited and temporary at best for domestic metals producers and workers, but American companies using metal face higher prices passed to consumers. Never mind imported canned food.

Trump's crass partisanship underscore his failure in 3 elections to win a simple majority of votes. The GOP failure i most large American cities isn't relevant in our federal system of government. Trump has done zero to shore up senior entitlements or control spending. https://t.co/BbSlqZQR9v

The fact is Trump's policies of illegal tariffs and anti-immigrant zealotry have harmed domestic growth, and manufacturing jobs have decreased in both Trump terms. https://t.co/v0mdHr2kzr

Watching Jon Stewart critique Trump's inability to tell a joke at the WHCD is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Watching Trump get lost on the way to the punchline or interrupt a joke to deliver one of his predictable insults is so sad; Trump is his own parody..

I have been a staunch supporter of Rand Paul; in fact, I supported his 2016 Presidential bid. But I have zero tolerance for his crackpot obsession with Fauci. I fully support Faici's refusal to fall for Paul's transparent perjury trap at a Senate hearing by pleading the Fifth.

Trump's war on Iran is not a moral government expenditure. His claim on taxpayer funds to underwrite war crimes unapproved by Congress is disingenuous. https://t.co/attJgdqRED

Quinnipiac has Trump's approval rating down to 32%, for his war in Iran down to 28%. Keep in mind those figures INCLUDE the GOP's partisan support. He's running out of time before midterms to address upcoming grocery prices/tariff hikes and gas prices. pic.twitter.com/EYhFiI9ohO

We wonder if Rnd Paul is as interested in Trump's diary say, around his Epstein weekends or Stormy Daniel days, as he has been about Fauci's diary. Trust me, we geeks have boring diary secrets.

Today's news that second-quarter GDP growth declined will no doubt get a positive Trump spin. Trump will be alarmed by the widening trade deficit, but some of that may be due to trying to anticipate new Trump tariffs. But the data don't support Trump's fantasy of low inflation. pic.twitter.com/zO4yzU026L

I regularly rotate organ meats into my diet. Walmart has good prices on chicken gizzards and livers. But organ meat is more of an acquired taste, and it's going to take ranchers a while to rebuild their cattle herds. pic.twitter.com/VkFYcbRBDd

I'm no Biden apologist. I voted for someone other than Trump or Biden in 2020. But I never liked bashing of predecessors, including Obama's Bush-bashing. Trump's exaggerated scapegoating of Biden is just a weak deflection from his political malpractice, of trade wars, etc. https://t.co/zhBWhvlVZs

I'm a Never Trumper, but this poll doesn't exist. At most, CNN might, say, compare Obama and Trump, but it's not like a historian ranking of POTUS. There have been even worse Presidents like Lincoln, Wilson, and FDR.

How Do You Do It? - Gerry & the Pacemakers
COVID news items include:
Blog hits over 10K page views per day, well above normal. I reached a 40+ month target again with a July essay on Trump and sports. X/Twitter followers increased slightly over last week; still, no popular new tweets.
It looks like ESPN has abandoned its first-hour free for WWE PLE's on today's first night of SummerSlam. I tracked results on an Internet website, I'm mildly surprised they kept the belt on Liv Morgan, expected Lesnar to job the rubber match with Oba Femi, and was relieved to see Punk retain against Rhodes with Orton's attack on the latter. It isn't my being a Punk fan, but I haven't been happy with Rhodes and Uso hogging title oxygen. I haven't been happy with booking recently, especially involving Breakker and Giulia.
Hallmark finally ended its Christmas-in-July promotion. It seems Great American Family is extending theirs, maybe over the weekend? I really haven't watched many GAF originals. They did carry 3 older Hallmark titles: the 2 "Mrs. Miracle (Doris Roberts)" movies and "Let it Snow", an older Candace Bure film.
