He is all "salesman," and nothing else. He is all about cheap APPEARANCES in the now; he dwells entirely within and is limited to the most superficial of appearances; so he belches out toughness, bigness, and then always thinks about it only later as reality comes calling.

(At least, . . . that's what everyone's saying!)

Dean, I wasn’t sure if you were old enough to get the reference. Thanks for the reply.

I love a good laugh, but what they call TACO, I call market manipulation. It started with the on and off China tariffs during the first Trump administration. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

Not arguing, but TACO means money to them. TACO means big, clucky, clunky, thin-skinned filet of chicken to us.

it's one thing to amuse ourselves with "TACO" shtick, but the real effort has to be directed with mobilizing the sane and informed part of America( MAGA is a minority lost cause mostly as they are indoctrinated zealots impervious to informed argument )to recognize the bizarre and dangerous quest of DJT to become the Czar of America with all that means for the destruction of our Constitution. "TACOS "may prime the pump but the facts must be laid open for all Americans . Voting rights suppression must be exposed and fought in the courts vigorously . By election day 2026 the majority of Americans must be ready to put sanity, and compassion back into American governance . Democrats and Republicans alike must look into themselves, remember their humanity, and put America back on track.

The is fighting back against the Dark forces, and grinding out VICTORY AFTER VICTORY. The Heroic, Strategic attack today by Ukraine shows the Courage and Resiliance that should serve as a model for Americans that work to derail Trump. We must keep Pressing the Fight. #UkraineWillWin #AmericaWillSurvive

The TACO stuff may get on tRumps wick but it won't stop him. His loyalists will tell him that it's just a few dems trying to tarnish his "big beautiful" name and he'll buy it because not to, means he will self combust. Tee-hee.

Whack jobs turned wearing a diaper, a maxi pad on the ear, & a garbage truck into opportunities to celebrate being in a cult, so they sure don't have any grasp of dignity, nuance, or irony. By the same token, they think the crap Felon47 says are jokes...are somehow funny on some level rather than being straight-up lies or just cruel punching down on people. What a bizarre, humorless world to live in.

It’s not the world of the majority of human beings. Like tRump, their solution to not being loved is to condemn others for caring! It’s why humans developed irony to protect themselves against those who hate so unabashedly. There are many people like tRump in the world, maybe even in one’s own family. You just say ‘Oh he she is just a crazy a so and so.’ When it becomes a real life or death problem is when we refuse to call it out in elected officials. Then the country becomes a danger to itself. LONG LIVE A DEMOCRATIC AMERICA……and keep a smile on your face!

Thanks Dean, for giving me a good laugh on Sunday. I truly needed your humor, along with your great writing. I love seeing DonOld punched in the face, like he does to people all the time. He can dish it out but certainly can’t take it! Keep on fighting and putting the pressure on, it’s working! 👊

Love your frequent takes on the high number of people punching the TACO in the face. He's such an embarassment to our proud country, and such a rotten example to our children. My warning to all other nations in the world is, if it can happen in the oldest democracy in the world, it can happen in your nation, too. Learn from our flaws, esp. capitalism gone wild, a supreme court that enables that, and a legislature bought and owned by the billionaire oligarchy. Chief among our flaws unrestrained capitalism.

It's really upsetting to see "taco" used in a negative way, especially when it's associated with a villain. As a Mexican American, I find it offensive because tacos are a deeply cherished and important part of our culture. I can't help but wonder why anyone would think that's okay.
