Not sure what years are being shown on the paper the Defense Secretary is holding up. It looks like the last three years are up which might include 2021 and January 6. Which could mean Trump is partly at fault for the trend.

Exactly. That whole shitshow was meaningless when nobody questioned Trump about his absolute pardoning and rhetorical support of the perpetuators of the most violent day in DC history since the War of 1812 -- January 6, 2021.

Stephen Miller : Mr. President, when you go out for your press conference just ignore the questions and focus on what riles up your base :

Crimes committed by black and brown people and transgenders

and act tough like you are a badass...MAGAs eat that shit up

Trump : got it... black and brown crime, trans, and act tough... I can remember 3 things but just to be sure should I have notes ?

Again, it cannot be an emergency if the rate has been falling. COURTS, where are you?

See, this is what all those stays from SCOTUS were about. Are the DC courts going to invest time and effort into enjoining this thing only to see the Supreme Court brush it aside without half a thought?

It's been about chilling litigation and this is why I say it's not a court.

Courts ? We don't need no stinkin' courts since SCOTUS granted Trump absolute power.

Courts are so yesterday...duh

Today's press conference was the first time I've wished that if we have to have an autocrat, could we at least have one as smart as Xi?

I had not considered which autocrat I would prefer over Trump, but I agree with your choice.

XI is addressing climate change and using soft power to build alliances across the global community. At 73yo I may live long enough to see China replace us as the dominant geopolitical superpower.

No potshot intended, just anecdotal observation - in this clip, trump reminds me of my grandfather in the early stages of primary progressive aphasia (a form of dementia). Word misuses, blunted affect, word finding challenges, strange tangents (it's not a "weave", it's an attention issue) all the while appearing grossly fluent in other moments. My grandfather was also a hands-talker, but it became much more pronounced as the language capacity faded.

I'm an eternal optimist, but I'm encouraged that NOBODY appears to be covering today's press conference favorably. Most coverage seems to be like your comment -- Trump is a fading, mentally-diminished demagogue narrating the world as it only exists inside his diminished brain. A few people seem to be talking favorably about his policies without referencing what he actually said.

I really hope we get to the point soon where even Trump's defenders (including those on this board) don't take him seriously. Unfortunately, we're only 1/8 of the way through this term, so everyone who voted for him will be tagged with the insanity we experience from this point forward. But maybe even those people start to see him as the mentally-compromised geriatric he is, rather than the demigod they have assumed him to be.
