Marc Elias is right about everything.
Thank you for all of your important work defending our democracy from Trumpian tyranny. I made my first donation to @democracyforward.org this morning.
And maybe like the 17th century scientific revolution. Nullius in verba, with Trump's crackpottery taking the place of Aristotle.
My estimate is that about 3/4 of the accounts following me fit into those two categories. One telltale sign is following tens of thousands of accounts.
I'd make another donation to Democracy Docket.
"Donald Trump brings his deviancy into the Oval Office and flashes it for all to see and hear - his vulgarity, his profanity." Few can lambaste crackPOTUS Trump as eloquently as @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=tCfM...
I'm glad to see that @jonathancapehart.bsky.social quit the Washington Post. He joins others, such as Jennifer Rubin, Ashley Parker, and Josh Dawsey, in rejecting Jeff Bezos' censorship and subservience to crackPOTUS. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zTus...
And he even lied when said he did those two things.
Every streetlamp Seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning From Memory in Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber @briantylercohen.bsky.social royally skewered Trump but didn't note his ironic choice of music. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YMfE...
"The coverup that is being executed at the DOJ makes Watergate look like a ladies garden lunch in Foster, Alabama in 1965" @therickwilson.bsky.social captures the essence of Trump's corruption. m.youtube.com/watch?v=WnOV...
Insightful and revealing reporting by @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com - The existence and location of the Epstein birthday book is a potentially serious blow to Trump's lawsuit against the WSJ. m.youtube.com/watch?v=oLep...
All of the photos and videos of Trump and Epstein, along with Trump's skyline doodles, remind me of Luke 12:2-3.
@maddow.msnbc.com never fails to infuriate crackPOTUS and his imperial cult with her wit and insight. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uzg...
@lincolnproject.us skewers crackPOTUS Trump with this parody of Kendrick Lamar's #NotLikeUs. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LHhY...
Whenever I feel like I'm not doing enough to help preserve our democracy, I make a small donation to State Democracy Defenders Fund. There's no better way to help than that.
There is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops. Luke 12:2-3 on the Epstein files
Unfortunately, same here. So I made small donations to State Democracy Defenders Fund and the ACLU to help them fight that fascist crackpot Trump.
This is part of a current exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art. The artist is unknown, but it's clearly #antitrump protest art.
And here's the end of today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. Trump's birthday parade was weak and minuscule compared to this and the thousands of other protests across the nation today.
This was the scene about 1 hour into today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. The crowd had grown substantially by then.
Here's the beginning of today's #nokings protest in Arlington, TX. I was right in the middle of it. People were still arriving. The peaceful and boisterous crowd eventually stretched for several blocks in both directions.
I'm heading over to join the #nokings protest in Arlington, TX.
It's early, but people starting to come out for #nokings in Arlington, TX.
"Any one of us could be the next one on the floor in handcuffs in the ragingly thuggish, unconstitutional government now run by the stupidest, most dangerous president this country has ever had to endure." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I'm ready for No Kings protests. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhil...
"Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived... What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him." @governor.ca.gov No Kings protests are the best way to do that. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQQ...
Crap like that is why I quit the WP and Amazon Prime last fall.
“Learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.” Matthew 24:32 CSB This will be a summer of massive anti-Trump protests, and our sprawling fig tree (25' x 15' x 12') is a daily reminder of that.
"This is not a feud; this is the world's 2 craziest, most dangerous rich people, each trying to find a way now to completely destroy the other...All out madness has broken out in Trump World with Donald Trump at the center of the madness.." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=g5vv...
Apparently Elon Musk never saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre before casting himself as Leatherface. The film's closing moment perfectly captures him flailing at Trump's agenda when it failed to deliver the money and power he so ruthlessly craves. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zclw...
"And as of tonight, Donald Trump remains cowering in abject, silent fear of Elon Musk. The proof that Donald Trump is terrified tonight...is that Donald Trump has remained absolutely silent about Elon Musk's attacks..." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=HpYM...
"Elon Musk is the abomination that the Republicans in the Senate and the House and that Donald Trump deserve." It's hard to disagree with @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pR7K...
Our weekly Tesla Takedowns continue in Souhlake, TX. The world's richest guy has one of the world's poorest characters, and he's not going to get away with killing the world's poorest people. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/b...
"You have every right to believe, as a result of that single post alone, that Donald Trump is completely deranged and has no idea what day it is or what country he lives in." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on "the still breathtaking stupidity of Donald Trump" m.youtube.com/watch?v=krMu...
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre quickly became a cult classic film in the 1970's. The film's denouement, in which the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface mutilates himself and spins violently out of control, has a striking similarity to Elon's RUD in Trump's orbit. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zclw...
"Tonight Donald Trump humiliated himself once again by showing how irreversibly stupid and flawlessly ignorant he is of the actual words of the Constitution and their meaning." And then @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com gets brutal. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2vyj...
"Donald Trump has already lost his trade war, and he is relentlessly stupid enough to continue..." "Donald Trump is a loser, who is going to continue to lose, and he is going to continue to hurt Americans while he's losing." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com strikes again. m.youtube.com/watch?v=BwvB...
"But obviously this is a president who hates intellect, who despises the symbol of excellence in the world of higher education." @tribelaw.bsky.social on "the threats that this deranged president is making in these ludicrous tweets" Scholars resist crackPOTUS Trump. m.youtube.com/watch?v=x_DE...
I always do too. My own father served in the Marines for 28 years and was awarded a bronze star and two purple hearts. And he couldn't stand Tr*mp back in the days when the guy was only tabloid trash talk.
This was President Biden's 2024 commencement address at West Point. He showed a strong command of history, tradition, and facts. He delivered it with energy and humor. This is the antithesis of Trump's pathetic crackpottery. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UQUf...
"But right now we have a man who is corrupt, who is dangerous, who is putting America in enormous jeopardy in almost every single dimension, and he's not well. Trump is not well." @therickwilson.bsky.social I never tire of anyone lambasting crackPOTUS Trump. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mAQM...
All well written and well done. And your closing thought applies literally to his corrupt crypto banquet this week.
France 24 does a fine job exposing Trump's crackpot conspiracy theories about South Africa. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mti6...
"Joe Biden has never said one thing as outright stupid and factually incorrect as what Donald Trump says every single day about almost everything." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Joe Biden has cancer, but Donald Trump is a cancer on the soul of our country. m.youtube.com/watch?v=9GWM...
This was the warmup as I was just arriving at yesterday's Tesla Takedown protest in Southlake, TX. For me it was a great warmup for raining on Trump's birthday parade on June 14.
I was thinking exactly the same thing about the New York Times this morning. Trump's endless crackpottery is amply displayed every day, and yet much of it goes unmentioned.
There were indeed false prophets among the people...Many will follow their depraved ways, and the way of truth will be maligned because of them. They will exploit you in their greed with made-up stories... 2 Peter 2:1-3 CSB Peter understood the maga imperial cult as well as Paul did.
"Two hours before the Supreme Court heard the case today, the stupidest president in history decided to tell the Supreme Court what to do on social media." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com then analyzes that "historically imbecilic" post. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5OVC...
There's something wrong with the guy on every dimension of human experience.
"It takes Trump-level stupidity to create a political dynamic like that. One feature of Donald Trump's stupidity is that it apparently shields him from feeling humiliation no matter how much humiliation is heaped upon him." The indomitable @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=YEnY...
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
"And the obvious corruption of Donald Trump's sure-to-fail corrupt scheme to get himself a 747 will also live long after Donald Trump gives up on his mad dream of his 747 built for a dictator who funds Hamas." The inimitable @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=hChT...
"This payoff is as ugly and stupid as it looks...but it offers a perfect companion piece to Donald Trump's 2 dolls declaration..." "Yes, he's very, very, very stupid, but not as stupid as all you people on Wall Street think he is." @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com m.youtube.com/watch?v=9dHN...
I'm always glad that you shine the light of the Gospel in your posts.
In my case I'm guessing he got the information from the Clinton campaign or wherever they shared it. I probably don't get anything from anyone anymore because all of my contact info has changed since then. But at least Beto's campaign acted responsibly.
Beto O'Rourke was doing that a few years ago, and I complained about it as potentially alienating voters. They quit spamming me, but I'm not sure if they backed off anyone else.
"We don't have any questions for Donald Trump about a moment like that. Because we know that the man's brain is broken and full of poison and always has been. He is a hateful hunk of stupidity and bigotry sitting in that chair." Classic @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=24tG...
Our cats' garden of paradise includes self-service catnip.
As expected, Canadian Prime Minister Carney humiliated Trump yesterday. No one has analyzed that with more insight than @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wBvH...
It's likely to be another humiliating day for crackPOTUS Trump. Canada's Prime Minister Carney will surely put him in his place if he starts his fascist 51st state spiel. In the mean time, I'm planning to be among the millions who rain on his June 14 military parade. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/w...
And now he's denying that he did it. Thank you again for all of your posts showing his true nature. I can echo the words of 1 Peter 5:8-9 for all of your work.
"... among them, Marc Elias, a longtime opponent of Trump, who is the only lawyer the president has named who was willing to appear on 60 Minutes." His candid assessments are always insightful and inspirational. m.youtube.com/watch?v=U1QS...
This bald eagle also couldn't stand that vulture Trump. So it sought refuge atop a juniper tree on our small blue island in this orangish red Texas neighborhood.
Things go badly with popes when, instead of earning men’s commendations by good deeds, they extort praises with threats. Such popes cannot be praised without lying; From Julius Exclusus by Erasmus (1514) CrackPOTUS would earn the same rebuke from Peter as Pope Julius II did in Erasmus's satire.
As always, Paul was right about Trump and MAGA: They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served what has been created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen. Romans 1:25 CSB
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served what has been created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Romans 1:25 CSB Paul had a profound understanding of human nature, but even he might be taken aback by Trump's and MAGA's endless crackpottery.
And unwittingly Elon brought the chainsaw that may help with the task of toppling this self-described king.
To celebrate the crumbling of Trump's 146,880-minute Waltz, I enjoyed this sparkling performance of Chopin's Minute Waltz by Latvian pianist Jelizaveta Vasiljeva. The piano's tone is just gorgeous. m.youtube.com/watch?v=MTXp...
Come now, you rich people, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you. Your wealth has rotted and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded... James 5:1-3 CSB Bernie Sanders couldn't have said it better than James. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/b...
These people are...waterless clouds carried along by winds...They are discontented grumblers, living according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage. Jude 1:12,16 CSB When it comes to Trump's cabinet, Jude won't let you down.
Bad words are welcome when it comes to the guy. My wife has some downright obscene nicknames for him. I think the words of Jesus in John 8:7 apply perfectly here.
My sweetheart of 30 years painted these Easter eggs this year. If I'm lucky, she'll illustrate my next anti-Trump protest signs.
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain’d, I stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition... Walt Whitman's words, from his celebrated Song of Myself (32), express my conviction that cats are more decent than Trump.
By standing up for Canada, Mark Carney is performing a great service for American democracy. CrackPOTUS will be no match for him whenever they meet. m.youtube.com/watch?v=hg_f...
After shopping at Amazon for almost 25 years and being a Prime member since its beginning, I quit last fall when Bezos started selling out to Trump. I haven't spent a cent there since then and never will again. I'm as revolted by Bezos as I am by Musk. He deserves it. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
I always love how Norm Eisen defeats Trump with overwhelming humor.
The curl of her lips The ICE in her stare All innocent children Had better beware She's like a spider waiting For the kill Look out for Cruella de Vil - Lyrics from One Hundred and One Dalmations Puppies everywhere agree with the 101 Dalmations about the identity of Cruella de Vil.
"The Lives of the Twelve Caesars" by the Roman historian C. Suetonius Tranquillus is still worth reading today. Trump has much in common with the worst of the Roman Emperors. This text from the venerable Loeb Classical Library features both Latin and English. penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Rom...
Instead of outrageously laying their hands on Tr*mp, they should be saying and doing what Jesus did in Mark 8:33.
I give thanks every day for his healing. He started twenty centuries ago, he continues today, and he always will. That's why this verse is among my favorites.
Fort Worth Texas showed up today!!!
I was way too slow and got there just as the march was starting.
I'm on my way to the 50501 protest in Fort Worth, Tx. My sign reads Disabled Americans stand up for Democracy www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
Here's another digital billboard near SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA. It's also visible from nearby apartments. The sponsor is a venture capital firm called Fifty Years.
Resistance to Trump and Musk is coming from all quarters. This is a digital billboard near SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA. It's visible from nearby apartments.
He even used openly to deplore the state of his times, because they had been marked by no public disasters...and every now and then he wished for the destruction of his armies, for famine, pestilence, fires, or a great earthquake. Suetonius, Vita Caligulae Trump seeks to destroy Biden's good work.
He often inveighed against all the senators alike... Angered at the rabble for applauding a faction which he opposed, he cried: "I wish the people had but a single neck." Suetonius, Vita Caligulae Caligula's words could be Trump's reaction to Bernie Sanders's and AOC's Fighting Oligarchy Tour.
I happened to be reading that chapter just about the time you were writing, and was wondering if you might mention it sometime. Here's my answer.
He added to the enormity of his crimes by the brutality of his language. He used to say that there was nothing in his own character which he admired and approved more highly than what he called his shameless impudence. Suetonius, Vita Caligulae A busted Trump is as cracked as Caligula's bust.
When a different man than he had intended had been killed, through a mistake in the names, he said that the victim too had deserved the same fate. He often uttered the familiar line of the tragic poet: "Let them hate me, so they but fear me." Suetonius, Vita Caligulae Trump is like Caligula too.
Einstein's 1915 General Theory of Relativity is an even more striking example. It languished for over 40 years before becoming the foundation of cosmology. Now without it the global GPS system would fail in 2 minutes. Cutting funding for scientific research is idiotic. Elon is no rocket scientist.
Trump's ignorant defunding of scientific research is detrimental to society. This short article illustrates that point with an example from the history of physics. www.wired.com/story/why-th...
They're also for sale on Amazon.
There's a photo of FCC chair Brendan Carrr wearing one. There's also a rumor, probably false, that Tr*mp issued an order to start wearing them.
"To many men he offered his friendship or announced his hostility, according as they had applauded him lavishly or grudgingly." Suetonius, Vita Neronis From his cabinet choices to his extortion of large law firms, Trump has another trait in common with the Nero of legend.
There's another manifestation of idol worship, the Tr*mp lapel pin, that's been seen on at least one of his cabinet cronies. That might be worth mentioning in your next anti-idol video.
And on that you succeeded. I was lucky enough to see it on YT when it first came out this morning.
I think this is the very best video on your channel. You really delivered your message perfectly.
"Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 CSB
People definitely need more daily reminders. Paul was right about everything when it comes to Tr*mp.
I'm still baffled how anyone can ignore everything that Paul wrote and wordhip this idol. Photos of folks laying hands on him are an outrage and look like a satanic ritual.
