Something is being planned that will require use of force to stop civilians...normalize and position the troops first. Be prepared; literally anything is possible at this point.
They're doing the most important work they may ever do. Period.
Keep going; I think 9 is the limit for dead characters per Act. 🤣
Just today on CNN, the female anchor stated that Maxwell was imprisoned for "her involvement in Epstein's crimes." No, she was imprisoned for HER crimes of child sex trafficking. Man, that pissed me off.
Can anyone tell me what the Federal Circuit courts are for now? Are they powerless and just a waste of time and money?
I'm sorry, but this has opened up many opportunities for bombs to fly & the more bombs, the more chances one will (even mistakenly) hit some place that does result in boots on the ground, subs in the seas, and theological-driven nukes in the sky. Watch for a misdirected bombing that opens it all up.
And then there's the fact that all things go through him to inform policy. Trump only hears and trusts what Miller translates for him. This is the one 'person' who has been close by his side for 10 years.
Come on; don't fall for this B.S. Elon is trying to rehab his image to get Tesla back on track. Trump and Musk are likely on the phone laughing at all the fools talking about this rather than anything of substance and DJT is likely investing in Tesla. Musk is the same racist oligarch he always was.
These people will never, ever, NOT EVEN ONCE do the right thing...and we have an entire generation that grew up with this as the role-model for success. How do we ever undo this?
Well, it's obviously the thing we need to worry about the most. FFS.
With all the corrupt, constitution-breaking, democracy-ending, oligarchical dumbfuckery going on...this shit makes me so angry. The degradation of the Office of President is complete, and the world knows it; we'll never be the same.
And here's the kicker. Canada's mini-MAGA conservative leader gave a gracious, intelligent concession speech (gasp).
Every single one of the Canadian major party leaders spoke with more humility, grace, diplomacy and intelligence than this f*ing dufus can ever comprehend. Canadians seem to be pretty damn smart.
I feel terrible for Jagmeet and the NDP party. They got caught in the middle of a referendum against Trump. They'll be back as soon as this far-right lunacy disappears. Believe it!
He is not trolling; he's serious. He took a step back during Canada's campaign season, but now will step it up again. I think he sees the writing on the wall that Liberals will win and he will do anything to amplify the anger and frustration of the losing party-typical divide and conquer strategy.
😢
I know my son is on a tiny dose of T and it changed everything within a couple weeks of starting. And now, if he goes a week overdue for his shot, he starts backsliding with his mental health. 3/3
Voice is a huge issue, but it seems that everything about 'passing' becomes less of an issue after starting hormones. Have you researched Dr. Ivanka Savic's studies? She is likely the world's leading expert on the subject. It's brain-biology, baby. 2/3
If there is any way possible to start hormone therapy, do it as soon as possible. The science now shows that the feelings of gender dysphoria are absolutely neurological and that those feelings stop, for many, almost immediately on introduction of cross-gender hormones. 1/3
Or we haven't heard about it yet.
A few words from a Canadian friend. It's heartbreaking to see where they are and know where it leads. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I know...there was more than a little sarcasm in my comment. I do actually believe the court will get it right, but there's zero chance it will make any difference. I've been predicting rigged elections and riots in the street because of them, so Trump can declare martial law and stay president.
Not even waiting for accountability anymore...just want him to die. Accountability for his minions, though.
I trust the courts will see this in the 'contempt' hearings.
As a mom of a trans son...I think you could make these books into heirlooms. Start by writing a 'teaching' letter to your great-nephews and tucking it under the front cover. Teach them well and ask them to add their own letter for the next generation...and so on. Now THAT's an heirloom.
They don't know what's going on! Right-wing media shows none of this & instead goes to extremes to cover it all up. Disgustingly, the ONLY thing they will understand is what happens to their own wallets...so WE need to make sure we boycott their businesses, products, services and stocks.
Look back to Charlottesville where white men marched in the streets carrying tiki torches, chanting "blood and soil, Jews will not replace us." Trump called them very fine people. THIS is not about antisemitism, or anything protestors are saying or doing. It's a Muslim ban. Period.
Literally all of them, plus avoiding the doctor even for serious issues because you don't want to deal with it anymore.
Well, every penny we pay in tariffs will be given only to those who kiss the ring. They finally figured out how to get blood out of a stone (taxes from dirt-poor people). We are ruled by a mob boss now, and if you're not 'in the family' you get nothing & can't even keep what little you have.
It was my parents...and all 4 of us kids got our hair cut by mom. I had my first hairdresser appointment at 16, after I got my first job. My school pictures are something to see. LOL.
That's the generation I grew up in. For us, it meant we never saw Dad because he worked 2 jobs to sustain our 1200 sq ft home with 4 kids and a stay at home mom. He worked days as a union man at Ford and nights as a baggage handler at the airport. When Dad was home, he was sleeping. He died young.
Ya, that's a step beyond anything I deal with...to stick by Trump even though you're Canadian and he's threatening to take your country....what kind of crazy is that?
Although I understand why the court CAN justify a stay, I do not understand WHY they would when the regime admitted he was sent in error. Every day this man is there, his life is at risk - while the regime plays legal games & SCOTUS lets them. There is zero regard for humanity in Christo-fascism.
By talking about trans-athletes, of course. Not a joke.
Ok, so we need to figure out what to do about this. The more this presidency falls apart, the more the right will talk about this non-existent "issue". It's distraction and fear-mongering... which works. Thoughts?
I'm struggling to forgive; but, I have to remind myself that I can't let them take my morality. It will take time.
Although for all the wrong reasons, I now have at least 3 MAGA family members who have had the blinders ripped off. Suddenly, they can't even stomach hearing him talk. They see the vitriol, lies, and manipulation for what they are. It seems that once seen, it can't be unseen.
Ugh...I've thought about that monster lying in state at the Capitol, as sycophants line the streets and media talk about him as a brave maverick; global leaders at his funeral, and all the rest of the f'ing ceremony. I want him in exile, with his death reported a week later on news chyrons.
Let's say 'negligent' instead of 'reckless'...it has more of a crime-y ring to it.
Well, there was no official big red TOP SECRET stamped on the top of the Signal TEXT chain. I totally understand why our highest national security officials would need the big red stamp before they could identify classified material. FFS.
The way the right is attacking Jeffery Goldberg, he is going to need protection. At the same time, the incompetent, dangerous, lying MF'ers will weasel out of this. God help us all.
I want to know how much government business is being done via Signal. How many records are lost forever, so there will never be accountability or transparency? How can we know what damage has truly been done, what back-door deals have been made, and so on. We'll be paying the price for decades.
Truth doesn't matter. There will likely be phone calls behind the scenes...so maybe war plans won't be shared on unauthorized devices anymore. But they will never testify, never apologize; people will believe them, and on we go in this downward spiral of normalizing abhorrent and criminal behavior.
No - but you already know that. The whole damn government is being run through Signal; no paper trail, no accountability. No wonder they can't give judges the information they're asking for - it's all on Signal and deleted without a trace.
Been following you for years & this is my first reply...it is that worthy. 🤣
DEEPLY disturbing that a judge has to tell our government people have protections against torture. I'm old enough to remember outrage at torture techniques used against Al-Qaeda after 9/11.
I wish people could understand having a transgender child. After a brief (still supportive) period of figuring things out in my own head, it became obvious he is still the same kind, funny, artistic, smart person he always was. He just became 'brighter' - like sharpening the focus on a telescope.
They called Harris a Marxist...HARRIS, who campaigned with Liz Cheney. We just need someone to inspire us to vote. AOC has that ability and has proven she also has the ability to listen, learn and adjust. I (a moderate) trust her to strike the right balance. We already have the majority, if we vote.
I followed you so that I could stay informed on the court orders and watch for any that get ignored. I appreciate your reporting (and more than that, the courts holding), yet harbor more than a bit of incredulity in the ability to enforce orders. I don't reply to you with that incredulity, though.
Until such time as those of us revolted by this are in the streets by the millions, this IS us. We watch in horror, we lose sleep, we boycott, we do everything except the one thing that can make a difference; we MUST spend the summer in the streets so the world takes note and may one day forgive us.
Maine didn't cave; still standing strong. The university simply replied that they were in compliance, so they could get their funding back. They were in compliance because, like almost all universities, there are no trans athletes. Like always, he's claiming a victory for nothing.
Ok folks, this regime is not planning to 'win' elections anymore. It's full-on dictatorship.
Cutting Social Security. Even then, it will take strong Dem messaging to tell them who is responsible and that Dems will stop him if you win back the House. That's the whole message now...it's his fault and you will stop him from hurting them. Say it again & again.
Let's be clear on what 'justifies' a 20 year sentence in a slave prison in El Salvador: 9 incidents so far - 2 were purely graffiti, 3 involved setting vehicles on fire, 4 included shots fired at empty dealerships. NO ONE injured. Should it stop? Yes. But much worse happens after a Superbowl win.
He's going to kill all of the people on this planet. The planet WILL strike back to save herself.
People with empathy can spot a psychopath from space...and will fight to protect EVERYONE from them.
I would have voted for the head of cabbage over this.
I hope this for your country too; but, sadly, it takes more than hope. Stay vigilant. When friends and family buy into the propaganda, don't be afraid to be impolite. It just takes one good cult leader & it can happen to you.
Only posting to say thank you. I have nothing to add - perfection.
Today was my husband's birthday; I made cake, had my kids over and had a day of contentment. Yours is the first post I've read today. My heart cracked...not your fault...it's reality that broke it.
What's happening is an extreme Muslim ban. Nothing less. We're not even allowed to show support for Muslims.
Came here to say this.
Also please keep at top of mind the almost daily threats to Canada's sovereignty...from the WH lawn, the Oval office, the press room...all the official places. This is not a joke and there is a madman in charge. Americans need to start planning what they will do WHEN an attempted annexation happens.
Except they are going to make us...remember the $400 million for armored EVs & the $11.4 billion in subsidies?
I like Raptors...Canada's only NBA team is the Toronto Raptors. Raptors are cunning and fierce, like Canadians.
JFC, I'm sick of this 'have all the cards' crap...we can have ALL the cards and be stuck playing solitaire forever, while the rest of the world changes the deck.
In my long career in charity work, I found the poor are the most generous.
Not to mention they dropped an investigation into the crypto-guru who 'invested' 75M dollars into Trump's meme coin...$56M of which went directly into Trump's pocket.
And the second was destroy USAID which was investigating Musk's cancellation of Starlink in Ukraine...that USAID paid for.
Arm wrestle you for who gets to write it :)
We could be spending money on ads to run on Fox and in swing states NOW - not when there are so many that it's all noise. Make ads that educate on the ways the Trump regime is sabotaging the Constitution (I can easily name 3) and scare some reality into people or get media talking about it. FIGHT!
Pete, hope you see that the most important issue for the Democratic base and the Never-Trump Republicans is the survival of our democracy. I know it might not be the thing that non-engaged voters care about, but if WE don't have Dems inspiring us to fighting for OUR lives, WE won't engage. INSPIRE!
I prefer that to being called demons and vermin. Besides, they are the opposition party and are supposed to oppose; as long as they don't call up Putin or Netanyahu and start making deals to sabotage the current government...oh, wait - someone did that and no one called it a shadow government.
I'm not a typically religious person, but confess I spent an inordinate amount of time praying for a proper smiting.
Maybe 'the Butler' could do it?
We were one inch away.
Canada (and the rest of the world) NEEDS us to stay and rebuild the country into some form of democracy over the next generation or two. Sadly, this generation won't see the fruits of the critical work ahead of us. America as we knew it is gone - grieve and start again. Otherwise, the world suffers.
America as we knew it is over...we need to QUICKLY acknowledge and grieve this fact and then figure out how to rebuild. None of you reading this will see the rebuild, but we need to start doing the work for our grandchildren. That's the assignment.
I've been shouting this...every single thing he's doing is setting the stage for martial law. Whether it's implemented due to domestic unrest or a war, martial law is the only way he can stay president long enough to actually complete the destruction of democracy.
We're being isolated as a nation; but more importantly, as individuals within it. We are 'sheltering in place,' trying to defend against the attacks that impact us as individuals. As long as the 'propaganda-tank' keeps rolling over us en-masse, people will not figure out what has caused the pain.
Don't let them take our pride, dignity or morality and don't just give it away by fearing them. We need to be braver than ever.
That is a beautiful cover...in all ways. No matter what they take from us, they can't take away our pride, dignity, or morality. Don't let them take it and don't give it away by fearing them. It breaks my heart if your extraordinary accomplishment has been tampered - even slightly - by this fear.
Twice
Not to mention that he apparently thinks farmers have masses of vacant fields to plant more crops. Anyone know a farmer who doesn't already maximize their crops? I know a bunch, and they don't have any room in their fields to plant avocados, especially in the northern states (yes, that's sarcasm).
Reaching that point in my life changed everything. Don't forget it's a daily practice type of thing & that it's okay to change your opinions and make mistakes in the process. Forgive yourself immediately when that happens (it will) and keep moving forward.
I took a peek over on the bad place, just to see what garbage was being spewed. Sadly, replies to Zelenskyy's post were anti-Ukraine. WE know that's because most of what is left over there are MAGAts, and I hope Ukrainians realize that. Wish they were here to see what most Americans think.
It will take all of us.
Where the constellations reveal themselves one star at a time...one of the most beautiful, poetic lyrics of all time.
I'm about 50/50 on martial law coming. IMO, they are doing foreign policy in such a way that war is inevitable unless everyone bends the knee. With war, comes martial law and suspension of elections. If not, there's always good old election rigging: Musk + all the gov't's data = what could go wrong?
It's ALL extortion...tariffs, Ukraine, Canada, Panama, Greenland, New York, freedom of press, Republican congress... everything.
I guess I just have a hard time letting our local economies die. But, I absolutely refuse to support or appease Trumpers. What are the purchasing options for you 'blue-dotters'? Honest question that needs to find an answer.
Americans can do it too - temporarily, until the message is delivered. Our wallets are actually more important than our votes for the next year and a half. Support local, flea markets and farmer's markets, but stay out of the corporate marketplace. Make OUR money talk louder than theirs.
Right wing media isn't covering any of it. They praise DOGE for uncovering billions in fraud and there is zero about rule of law, Constitutional governance, or global alliances. Half of the country is brainwashed. Here is Fox News this morning. How do we fight this? www.foxnews.com?msockid=21c8...
Yes, I heard a little yesterday. Still, they never say Trump is wrong and needs to reverse course...it's more that they condemn Putin. And, you are correct that it's not nearly enough to even make a dent in the right-wing media-sphere. Watch if this 'deal' is made, they will celebrate Trump's win.
If we've switched sides, I don't want to live here. It goes against everything I believe in & it will be near impossible to regain the trust of democracy-loving nations.
I should know better, but am stunned that no Republican senators are opposing him on this subject. This truly is the end of Constitutional governance and is a complete change in alliance. Republicans, are you really just watching silently as we join the 'Axis of Evil?
I also cried for both ...and a few other times, including the John Belushi skit in the cemetery. That one was the exact definition of irony - in the literary Greek tragedy meaning.
I felt that to my core...well said.
It will take massive failure of the country economically and geopolitically...and at least a generation to recover from that. So you and I won't see it, but there is a possibility it will eventually be better than the pre-Trump era. It's a fight for our grandkids at this point.
