"... the charisma of wilted chard". "Team Predator!" 😂😂😂 Another great column.
I agree ...we ARE all scarred for life. My faith in my fellow citizenry is at an all time low. I know many are ignorant, as evidenced by their voting to make Peter Theil and his pals even richer... (WTF??) but I always hoped they would understand the difference between right and wrong. Child rape and abuse should be in the "wrong" column. Keeping my fingers crossed for a more civilized society.
It’s frustrating. A lot of us knew he was depraved way back, ten years ago. I never imagined any of this stuff, though. None of this stuff was on anyone’s radar ten years ago. If it had been, would he still have been elected? His cult probably would have said the 5,333 references to Trump that now come up on a search on the DOJ TrumpStein webite were because they…. see? That’s why I ask if he would have been elected. I’m not sure even the cult can explain away 5, 333 references.
Try starved for entertainment in a not very entertaining world.
I got that from Neal Gabler: https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/cp/172043194"...the American people got bored with their politics, and they hungered for something more entertaining, something with more juice, something that kept pace with the speed of the culture, something that gave them the impression of action."
We could be tossing around ideas like this, that would help us understand him and ourselves.
I was kinda hoping after the first round, wherein a million people died from his depravity and incompetence, people would have had enough of “entertainment.”
If the felon leaves office, for any reason, a certain portion of the electorate will be “on the loose”. They won’t have a leader any longer, and they will probably stay home from the polls and feel sorry for themselves. They can go climb back under their rocks, and that will make all of us happier and less stressed.
Yeah. That’s where they were before all this. Reading Weekly World News instead of listening to Steve Bannon podcasts, though, so the situation is more dangerous now.
I watched a utube thing that talked about children being sexually abused and then they grow up all hurt and angry and sad and the list goes on. So there’s a whole lot of people out in the world who are hurting badly and never got the help their souls needed. So here we are with a bunch of humans sick in their soul and some bodies that just don’t get what they need to thrive. I think that explains a lot of humanity. And now we know that the world is run by people who hurt others and laugh about it. This needs to change, but how? I feel bad for my grandkids.
We have compassion for those who try to end the cycle, and not for those who continue it. Seems simple, but it isn’t as long as adults continue to look the other way when it happens.
Hey, why don't we talk about how to get all of them out of there? Let's see, that could be Trump firing all of them and then resigning for some better deal he got.
“America is a centrist nation. But if centrism means acceptance of anyone involved with Team Predator, or a “unity” government that avoids accountability, that’s not centrism. It’s moving the Overton window into the realm of endless moral decay that will result in a final reckoning that will destroy what is left of us.”
The Overton window has been moving rightward since 1980. But that drift was the Republican long game, not tRump 1.0 or 2.0. tRump and MAGA just shattered the window and yanked it to the right. Imagine a home remodel where a normal size window gets removed, a much larger hole demo’d to the right by an unguided sledge hammer and chainsaw. Moved fast and broke a lot of shit. Change the plans and make the rules as he goes along.
There’s no patching of stucco over this remodel. This country will need to be taken down to bare studs. All the MAGA dry rot removed, tried, convicted, and incarcerated. The oligarchs and their renovation plans run out of town. Rezoned out of the country.

Can I lead a chorus of ‘Hallelujah’ now?
Be my guest!

Yeah, usually the pendulum swings back. It never did after Reagan.
