The economy is hot, all right. We've burned through more of our money during the felon's terms than usual.
He either lies or projects, always. The guy who incited January 6 is accusing Democrats of sedition?? Really??? If this were a movie, I'd laugh at the absurdity. However....
An aside: We've begun watching the Ken Burns documentary about the American Revolution. It is fascinating and heartbreaking all at the same time for many different reasons: the construction of our country and its government, but at tremendous cost to indigenous peoples. We're learning a lot, good and bad, about our roots. I hope everyone will watch this.
I am sure I am not alone in my longing to see this administration end, but sometimes I wonder HOW it will end, or IF it can end. Three more unendurable years of Trump is unimaginable. The road to peace and freedom is not by way of he who is leading us down the Highway of Hell. Each and every direction he takes has its own sign post; Chaos, this way, Cruelty, that way. It’s an endless roundabout on the road to our ruination both physically and morally.
I’m waiting for him to change the name of any city that sounds like it opposes him, or has the name of someone he hates. How about Norman(Norm Eisen), Oklahoma, or Clinton, Arkansas, or, better yet, Washington, DC?
We’re in Pottersville, Folks. In this holiday season, I’m wishing and hoping for some miracle of our collective mind to reimagine Bedford Falls where the citizenry stands united in truth and justice. My heart is longing for some modicum of civility, decency and compassion to return; for our Congress to do its duty without the hot breath of this authoritarian breathing down its neck. I pray for the restoration of the UNITED States of America.
Steve, it is so obvious that Trump is literally losing his mind as his autocratic hold is slipping. And yet, his cabinet continues to spread his lies. Isn’t it time to take the country’s temperature on activating Article 2, section 4 of the Constitution? What good can we gain if he is impeached and the rest of his people remain? Our country would still be in great peril. The people are winning now, but the country is still in harms way internationally— intelligence has been stripped no one seems to have their eyes on cyber crimes, and the economy is going to breakdown with our nation possibly facing another major recession or even a depression. Stopping greater harm daily is consuming all our resources. His illegal shooting of boats, his brutal ICE and Border Control people keep getting more violent. Is it time to move to a larger, wider change and stop this entire regime? Your thoughts?
It is obvious. And the larger change depends on either overwhelming mass protests and/or Democrats retaking control of Congress in the midterms. He’s losing, but increasingly dangerous.
I agree that he is getting more dangerous daily, hence my fear of looking to 2026 to get legislative clout by taking back Congress. It feels so far away given the damage he does daily. I will continue to work for mass protests in the hope of making change sooner rather than later. It angers me that in order to make change we need to be “lawful” whereas he breaks every law and ignores the Constitution in order to reek his havoc. Thanks.
'He's should remember, we revolted against a king once b4 & now have the Declaration of Independence AND the Constitution of the United States. This wanna-be king can also be removed, legally with the ballot or, a psychiatrist deems him mentally unfit.
That he is calling for hanging of a few who reminded us our service members, by oath, do not follow ILLEGAL orders is sooo reprehensible. Then his cronies repeat leaving out the word 'illegal.'
I once read something like, vote in numbers to large to leave any doubt about outcome. God save the UNITED STATES, please!
I needed a smile. "bordello-style oval office" is so spot-on. That phrase encapsulates the rest of this excellent piece.
And to those congress members who know in their bones what their oath to serve the country means and are selflessly willing to shore up courage of those in the ranks: Huzzah!
Thank you for continuing to call Trump’s bullshit exactly what it is. His continual attempts to sanewash his lunacy and gaslight the world into believing his own delusions are only helped by media “toning it down” and presenting both sides as equally valid arguments. And most importantly, don’t back down. Only a truly immovable object will eventually end Trump’s own foolish belief that he is an unstoppable force.
Truly an amazing presentation you’ve given us today. Thank you.
The many imbedded links are helpful and comprehensive.
We feel the effects of the economic crush imposed by his anger and his ignorance - in my family.
The horror of THIS week for me is his reaction to the six who urged our military to refuse illegal orders.
I’d like to share that excerpt with their names as I am so touched and proud we have citizens standing up staring squarely back into the eyes of the creature attacking our country from within.
Excerpt:
“The six Democratic lawmakers who participated in the video—
I think the hungry squirrel is on his head where it prevents any rational, informed or learned thought. He lies because that’s all he’s got. Sorry, Chump. You’re a loser.
We’ve gotten to the point where we must accept that people voted for him as the liar and criminal he is. It’s not a case they didn’t know. We’ve told them enough. They don’t care.
So to solve this problem of what happened to people that they would want this we must look into our schools as they formed their minds as they prepared them to become citizens. Or did they prepare them to become citizens?
Read my memoir of my teaching days A Graver Danger and you’ll see how we got to this point. Our only way back requires that we know how we got here!
The more Mr. Trump opens his mouth, out comes these sbsurd and ludicrous dishonest, and treacherous deceits - which I might add, is believed by many Americans. We are the generation that education failed due to cost and student loans. We are the generation that bought far right Christianity, and we are the generation that lacked any global experience. Due to this, many of us also lack any sense of analytical ability to decipher right from wrong, and misinformation from reality. Read today's Substack "Disinformation and Manipulation." by egraham.substack.com.
This is the exact message to repeat from the highest hill, in big cities and the smallest villages. Trump lies incessantly and his acts benefit the few, mostly including himself and his family. His boys crypto businesses have garnered billions while the general economy is cratering. He is mean, vindictive, cruel, selfish and possessed with the opinion that only he can solve our country’s ills, most of which are figments of his warped imagination. His “successes” are limited to destroying the fabric of our society and chipping away at The Constitution and our rule of law! “No more” we must say and seek to drive his negative numbers so low that the only person approving his Presidency iwill be himself.
Every time I hear of another group of National Guard folks being shipped far from home, I wonder, how much is this costing us? Millions and millions. It's awful. Does Trump think no one is paying attention to this waste of money and person power? Pammie and Kash seem focused on capturing Americans. I imagine many terrorists see a huge opportunity emerging.

It is truly fascinating and horrifying, too. Would current citizens be able to do what these men and women did?

Me, too. How or IF this can end. We are in THE REALITY SHOW FROM HELL.
Wow! Beautifully said!
Thank you, Richard!

Bless them

Thanks.
Thank you for all you do for us and our country
The fulminating fatman
The liar in chief
The ponderous proponent of pubescent perversion
When Boebert and MTG join with Bernie and AOC it’s clear Trumphuk’s days are numbered!
I think the hungry squirrel is on his head where it prevents any rational, informed or learned thought. He lies because that’s all he’s got. Sorry, Chump. You’re a loser.
He has finally, formally disproven the "pants on fire" theory of falsehood.
They are, instead, filled with poo.

He claims to have discovered a new WORD? “Affordability”.
