Trump is a personification of our culture, a reflection of the rejection of norms such as accountability, responsibility and honesty that have been disintegrating since the 1960s.

...yeah, you're right, but who cares. <sarc>

If you remember the same was said of the 1960 hippie era...

The flappers and jazz music, and the beat generation...

Possibly much of what you perceive is simply because you are older and wiser...

Perhaps. From here it looks like the standards for what has to be hidden are SO MUCH LOWER.

Perhaps it's just more difficult now with media hunting for bias...

Is there anyone that didn't know "Happy Birthday Mr. President"...

Terrific Bill! I guess the “grandest larceny” will be the Biden crime syndicate and their deals with Russians and Chinese. Can’t wait for that!

Yes. I'm sure you are aware you'll be waiting an eternity for that analysis. The deranged one only has Trump in his sights.

Just like we’ve noticed for months, the president we voted for and hoped would change the death throe we saw coming from Biden has turned out to be nothing more than the most viscous of conmen. No wonder he’s worried about getting in heaven! Haha, but unfortunately the joke’s on us. We pay the price.

Ed, the orangeman has been schooled for decades in this fiat money world. His view isn't about honest anything since it is plain as the orange hair on his head, honesty is for losers - his focus is the "Art of the Deal" and no matter how many pay-offs he receives the jigs just fade away. And, the sad part, others are learning how to play the game. If you learn to play it right, there is no penalty for anything or, if misfortune lurks there is always the "Pardon". Not what we minions voted for but - given the other choice - probably the lesser of two evils. It won't matter anyway since 2026 is shaping up to be when the 4th Turning hits hard. Hold on tight.....it is going to be a doozy!

What did you minions vote for? Kamala?

Absolutely not. And it wasn't because she is a democrat or the Orangeman's BS about MAGA since he has turned that into Make America Go Away. With Kamala - you had no more idea who might have a say than when Biden was president. Both clearly unable to actually look like they are in charge - even though anybody wide awake know it is those behind the screen that pull the levers.

Vicious?

Really?

... Trump is no more corrupt than most other politicos.

Perhaps better organized...

Is it me or....?

it seems those with conceit and egos at par with DJT are most vulnerable to TDS.

I already read or heard all of that in the TDS legacy media. Wil you also be sharing all the Biden and Clinton crime family scuttlebutt in future columns, BB, or do you assume your audience has already savored the reports of Hunter's paintings colored by his own feces sales to favor-seekers and selling President Autopen's influence cheap to Chinese and Ukrainian bargain hunters? It does seem that all or most of our politicians and their extended families are for sale or rent quite cheap these days.

If I hadn't read all the names Bill identified, I would have sworn he (Bonner) was describing the previous President - "you know the guy.... What's his name." As if old "nearly gone" had any cognitive capacity remaining. Yeah, what a competent President that guy was - NOT!

It is more accurate to say that crooked people beget crooked money, not the other way around. Yes the very existence of so much crooked money proves to be a temptation too great for many, so we ostensibly end up with a greater ‘supply’ of crooked people. But the crookedness was already there, in the heart of Man.

The big question remains. No matter which party is in power, at what point does our debt reach before "our hell on earth" moment arrives? No matter who or what party is in power, we can rely on Bill and the democrats explaining how it was all Trump's and his voter's fault.

Bongo Bill, intrepid reporter for "Mother Jones" and shill for the Democrat National Committee, gives us another mud-raking update from the leftwing news media. Somehow, he missed the new evidence on Trump's Russian Collusion scandal reported by the "Progressive Nihilist Enviro-Nazi Tribune", not to mention the story from "The Antifa Times" about how Trump set up his Butler assassination in order to help him win the election by getting the sympathy vote.

And Bill, Trump must be getting kickbacks from the businesses he is deregulating and from the nuclear industry and from other energy companies he is allowing to develop our energy sources! I'm sure you can find a leftwing media outlet to give you some quotes on this as well. You're slacking, Bongo. How about giving us the whole story about how Trump's every move is destroying our country and way of life. Get off the stick (or get on the stick as a friend use to say because he always got those sayings backwards) and get this information to us past the guards at the mental asylum you seem to be inhabiting. 🤣

I am told we are in a 21st Century war with China.

Ecological, economical, space, geographic (China Sea), technological and biological.

In war, allies are a necessity.

And what better unlikely allies to have in the Middle East than the Saudi's and Israel.

“Scale of dragon,tooth of wolf,

Witch's mummy, maw and gulf

Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,

Root of hemlock digg'd in the dark,

Liver of blaspheming Jew;

Gall of goat; andslips of yew

silver'd in the moon's eclipse;

Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;

Finger of birth-strangled babe

Ditch-deliver'd by the drab,-

Make the gruel thick and slab:

Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,

For ingrediants of our cauldron.

Double,double toil and trouble,

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” From another Bill, Shakespeare. Some stew, eh? Avoid a slurp of this gruel, for he who does becomes a fool.

$ 1.8 million got that guy out of prison and zeroed out restitution? WOW! How much

did Biden's handlers make with thousands of auto pen pardons? How about a little research on those folks.

Even as Bill exposed the Trump corruption, I assumed the Trumplican cult members would still make comments defending him. I wasn't disappointed.
