Thank you for stating the truth, and putting it out there. If TDumpers still follow him and continue to drink the Kool Aid after what he just posted, our country is in far worse trouble than I originally thought. Please MAGgots...listen to reason and read the truth. Quit burying your head in that sand...the world is watching. TDump spiraling down a one way hole, is not what POTUS should be putting out there. What country isn't looking at the US thinking that they're glad he's not their commander in chief?! God please help us...and as for Canada and Mexico, the American people apologize for a leader of the free world, that has truly lost his mind and is hopefully going to be ousted out of office soon.
He is seriously, dangerously, demented…. It’s unbelievable he is still where he is… I can’t help thinking, in watching his obvious decline, that it’s a symbol, a metaphor… much of the world has pursued, with a kind of demented passion, consumerism, and corporate advancement at the expense of individual and communities. We are witnessing the decline, alienation and disconnection from reality this leads too. Surely the world needs reawakening and inspiration, a different kind of leadership. Many have been saying this for some time. God help us if we don’t put our collective thinking caps on and collaborate to rid the world of such creatures as Trump, and others, in positions of leadership, where power can be abused. Go well.
It's so difficult to understand for those of us who feel this way. The press talks about the divide in this country like it's a political one. It isn't. It's a moral one. And even a spiritual one. It's not a schism that can be filled by policy.
He keeps us on our heels because he’s a lunatic, not because he’s an unbeatable general and strategist.
Yes it’s the element of surprise, randomness, and chaos that destabilizes and enrages some of us while it mesmerizes his MAGA base due to their now addiction to the constant novelty and engagement through his truth social postings. It’s that addiction of the MAGA base that keeps Republican lawmakers in line.
I've been saying that he's insane for a number of years now. It's actually the ONLY explanation I can find that keeps me from going completely mad myself over his entire existence. I studied the man in the early 80s after my first visit to New York and I couldn't believe he had the support of anyone. So, it's still unbelievably baffling that their are so many individuals who are like minded individuals all these decades since. I'm not naive about my neighbors, but I'd like an explanation for how a madman's tantrums have become our new normal. I used to say it was the Jerry Springer era of Pop Culture, calling it the Springerazation of my neighbors. Now, I'm completely wiped out and clueless. Are We Peasants really this damn lazy? Or, as a survivor myself, is it due to Pedophiles are good people? THIS is how far we've come from the beginning, by electing a thrice married adulterer!!! SMFH in disgust that everyone is cool with this story too.
Thanks for putting into words what I want to say when anyone says “Donald is doing this as a distraction.” No. No he’s not. It is just the way his increasingly disordered mind works. He isn’t using Kerrville to distract from immigration or immigration to distract from tariffs or Epstein to distract from all of the above or all of the above to distract from Epstein. He is simply stupid, drug addled and losing grip of reality.
Also I think your explanation of the reason for his flip flopping is spot on. It is whoever speaks to him last. Someone bitched to him about farm workers getting deported, so he says “we need to do something about that”. It explains his zig zagging on Ukraine. And so much else. Fortunately Donald 1.0 had some normies in his circle of advisors like Mattis, Tillerson, hell’s bells even Barr and Sessions look like John Marshall compared to Bondi or Gaetz.
I am pleased to re-stumble upon your prose. I think I've read you some time ago. But, thanks now, for your hilarious takes on serious subjects without diminishing the impact of the cruel insanity our US is experiencing. The felonpotus does indeed have a rotting "brain". Your assignment to find any other president's quotes, anywhere, and compare them to the gibberish of fpotus is exactly what should have been done by corporate media 10 years ago. Certainly after his first regime was over, when his unhinged, rabidly retributive, non sequiter nonsense, inchoately incoherent, rants accelerated. That the obvious contrast was and is ignored by too many is reprehensible. Are we in a mass psychosis of denial? I wonder.
Trump is evil. Also he is a thief and a cheat but not a smart one. He isn’t healthy and the weight gain that I’m observing is not going to help. If we keep the pressure on, he will undoubtedly break down physically. Dementia will follow. It will be interesting to see what happens when he can no longer serve his role as pretend president.
Bandy Lee who you direct us to and 21 other psychologists and psychiatrists broke the “ Goldwater rule “ before the 1st Dump term. That is how obvious his mental illness was then and I agree with you Mr. Bastille he has decompensated to an even more alarming degree since then. I read an article that was commenting about how this Epstein files thingey has caused a “ narcissistic collapse “ which will be devastating for all of us as it plays out. Expect more crazy.
"Is Trump evil? Maybe. I don’t even know at this point. He’s too crazy to evaluate."
LOVED this piece. I think your suspicions about Susie Wiles are spot on, too.
Think of Susie as the Project Manager at work, but instead of a GANTT chart, she's got Project 2025 in TODO list format.

thanks for keeping it real sir. your work helps me maintain my sanity.
How dare Trump fire the Secret Service agents who participated in Trump’s fake assassination attempt.
So typical of Trump—getting rid of evidence.
Move to Florida as punishment 🤣

Trump is melting down over Epstein. Keep on the pressure. Share every story, meme, and cartoon and keep up the pressure!

When I read this: "What does a nation do when its president has proven in a very public way that he’s insane?"
It brought to mind:
"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey "
In this particular case, Joltin' Joe reminded me of Mr Biden even though I do remember Joe DiMaggio.
