Great analogy : greed ~ insanity. DJT is propped up by billionaires. One hand greasing the other, as it were (all puns etc are intentional). It’s ironic that someone like Bezos, for example, has the gall to offer his employees financial advice to better manage their (paltry wages) money. The insanity of Russia as a good guy would have my old school Republican parents rolling over in their graves. The fact that this mentality is inches away from the bomb button scares the hell out of me.
I often wonder what my Republican parents would have thought of all this. I think my dad would have hated Trump, because my dad was Antifa — he fought in WW2, and was a sensible man.
I made that image a few years ago when the gym Jordan scandal broke. I am old enough to remember when that would have brought down a politician, but these days it's just a Thursday.
I’m right there with you - I’m so despondent today. The SAVE act is back in the news. It’s specifically designed to hurt women voters-it would be my breaking point.
Thinking together is up now. We regularly get to deal with things we would not have thought possible, and any day it might be too late. Maybe get people who are sounding nuclear alarms talking to each other?
Canadians are suffering, too! Sheesh. Best ally in the history of allies, best neighbor in the history of nations, and you get this kind of nonsense. We Americans will need to have a formal Apology to Canada Day when this is over.
Thank you. This used to be a special and unique relationship between the two neighbouring nations. Open borders.
Now those in Canada who are ‘woke’ are deeply frightened at what trump, I mean Stevie, has planned next in retribution for our PM Mark Carney’s standing ovation.
I believe today's Carney-related temper tantrum was more tariffs. Whatever is holding up Mother Nature from finishing her work with this guy, I wish it would stop.
We Americans will someday need to issue official apologies and Apology Days to three-quarters of the world’s leaders and people. (Wild-ass not even back of envelope math, trying not to count the leaders and populace of our new allies in Russia, Belarus, Hungary, and China) I fear that day might be far off because the end of tRumpf (natural causes or late night flight to Qatar or Russia) won’t be the end of Trumpism, the oligarchs, the Heritage Foundation, MAGA fanatics, and their like. It will take decades to rid America of this deeply rooted pathogen that has seeped and leached its way into the minds of the people, our culture, our institutions, our government at every level, and our businesses and financial system.
Not yours to call. It's just an opinion, and it doesn't serve to state it as fact. Just continue fearing as you think about it taking so long.
You know, we, who are the majority now, who are getting mightily pissed off, just might topple things with such force that we become a dedicated humanity to righting all the wrongs. Maybe the severity of how bad this is drives us to the severe redoing our civilization needs to be able to continue. .
"There has got to be another word for “speech” in this case, but it eludes me right now."
May I suggest "bloviating drivel"?
"face-anus dribble"?
"Messy BM Leaks"
Effective, yes.

My mom loathed Trump. She hated how he treated his wives and wondered how with all his money his hair could look so horrid.
I think he likes his hair!

The image of Gym J. as a bug is outstanding...so is the rest of the essay. 👏👏👏
Thanks. :-)

Then … hell , everything else!🤦♀️
I've seen that. We can't let that pass under any circumstances.

Charles. As a Canadian, could I demand the full cost of my subsequent therapy bills upfront too?
