I don't know how we get through the next two weeks without something big breaking. Honestly, I'm not even sure we make it through Friday. Too much has come out in too short a period of time, and Trump is clearly freaking out. Something's gotta give.

He's gonna quit.
Yea, his health. Can't wait for him to die.
I think this heat dome over the next few days is just going to add to the pressure.
Not in the mood to be getting my hopes up.
Y'all say this, and I truly don't get it. Like, why are you online right now scrolling through political shit? Honestly asking. Is it a masochistic thing? Do you like feeling sad about the world? I truly don't understand this mindset. It makes absolutely no sense to me.
This is a slightly nicer than your deleted reply. :/ Not sure why a mild reply deserves such bite, Charlotte. The algorithm is a mix. This post is in a wave of other non-“political shit.” Being realistic about the chance of Trump facing consequences isn’t masochistic. It’s been a decade of this:
Because nihilism is entirely fucking useless. Truly. Emotional vampire bullshit. If y'all are that pessimistic, get the fuck offline and go touch some grass and breath some fresh air. I'm serious. Stop bringing that shit around everyone else. It's not helping. At all.
Being politely cautious isn’t “nihilism.” It’s not even pessimistic. Talking about bringing negativity around everyone else: You’re just being reactive and mean at her and us for what? Originally, telling her to fuck off and now this? Jeez. Fine: Revel in your anger and hate. Account muted.
I’m a scientist. The data show that he gets away with an awful lot of stuff and that his base just doesn’t care about his crimes and lies. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he finally gets snared in something that changes MAGA opinions. But I’m skeptical.
"The world fucking sucks. Better go online and read more about how the world fucking sucks." This is honestly how y'all sound. No kidding.
I think we’re all just a bit overwhelmed by all that is happening and there’s a sense of helplessness. We want to be informed, hence the going online part. But we feel as though every five minutes it’s something new and equally horrific to five minutes ago… and five minutes before that, Ad infinitum
Then just get offline until good news works its way to you instead of finding anyone with even a little positive take and shitting on them with your pessimism. Fucking hell.
Whoa. Sorry if you’re having a bad day but I’m not shitting on anyone. Some of y’all need to chill.
I'm hopescrolling!
karma is a bitch. i hope she slaps everywhere as needed
I was just telling my husband this. His back is against the wall and that makes him extremely dangerous.
The other day Mueller She Wrote put out a call for those 1000 FBI agents who have seen the documents to contact her, and apparently she's getting responses and they're dropping details:
I’m feeling the same vibe. Definitely.
I so hope you are right but feel like this should have happened so many times already. I don’t trust the norms of reality anymore.
I think some dominoes are definitely teetering
Hopefully it’s Trump that gives out!
Agree
Calm, you’re just used to having the rug pulled out from under us every 2 weeks. We will see the ripple effects soon enough. Don’t beg them on!
🤞 Hope you are right. In the meantime, little things will keep adding up. And some may become significant. Thx to everyone seeking Justice
🤞🤞🤞 Every day it's something more bizarre than the previous day. Something has got to give. 🤞🤞🤞
Those secret trips to Montana by Vance... ayup.
Feeling similarly. 🫶🏼
Can’t wait.
I'll believe it when I see it. That putrid human gets away when everything.
🙏🏻
🤞🏼
🙏
Even if something does happen, replacing Trump doesn't do much for us. A president Vance would be just as wicked, and less labile, more focused. Reminds me just a bit of Bush and his insurance policy, Cheney.
I’m ready for the karma porn channel - where it’s all comeuppance all the time
Well, stress isn’t good for old men’s hearts. Especially overweight ones. Stokes also happen regularly.
If Epstein was "offed" and that somehow got out, and Trump world was behind it, that would certainly qualify as "big" :-).
Girl, I relish every li’l bit of good, hopeful news! Riding the roller coaster of despair & outrage is exhausting. I am thankful for any peaks of light shining through then tiniest of cracks in the regime’s armor. I also appreciate any moments of schadenfreude.
Oligarchs got from Trump and Congress the biggest tax breaks, the Genius Act, cuts in services and healthcare for most Americans, & their own military. Their need for Trump is gone. Now to insert their boy Vance! Why are the Epstein Files news NOW? Who is pushing this? Who is Vance meeting with?
Agreed.
Ghislaine's 12/25/61 has nat Mars at zero Cap. You thinking she'll go public with tr Sat-Nep-Aries? An ethical sacrifice on behalf of victims? That center-cannot-hold vibe is undeniable.
It's interesting. When she was convicted, she had SA Saturn at 0 Aries, squaring that Mars. Now SA Saturn will square her Sun, exact at the end of August. Transiting Saturn is repeating the SA pattern, now joined by Neptune....as tr Uranus squares her natal Uranus. 🤔
That is some cyclical tie-in. Prison is so private. Years ago I read "The Cloister Walk" (Kathleen Norris) and found it very moving. We've read that G. works out. Hopefully more than that.
Something’s gotta give—like maybe a weak vein in his head.
There will be violence
May it be his heart.
God, let that something be Trump’s heart 🤞
I feel like we aren’t getting though August as the same country - there are so many scenarios that could play out, good or bad, but my only gut feeling is that we aren’t emerging from this next month anywhere near where we thought we were as a country. I think it’s going to all come to a head.
*through!! Not “getting though”! 🥴
I wish! I’m so sick of the pedofile(?—can’t even spell it!) business—just let it be over!
You know they like dropping on Friday so everyone scrambles
🤞🏻 I really hope so!
Has anyone gamed out getting Michael Wolff drunk off his arse and borrowing his Epstein interview files for just a wee bit?
I’ve been hoping for this for months….just a matter of time
This seems different cuz Trump has been unable to change the subject, even with poignant posts about bringing racist team names back. The larger media also seems to be pursuing many new angles. I feel bad for the victims. We’re rooting for this to harm Trump, but these ppl have already suffered.
But this actually might give them some solace that the SOB pedo is finally paying a price.
Can it please be some karma? I need even the littlest bit of hope. And small pinhole of light at the end of this god awful tunnel. Just a little karma....
Maybe a stroke???
I hope you’re right.
Hopefully, tRump is what gives. Him stressing out to collapse is the necessary outcome.
📌
Welllll, about the Epstein files: Joe of @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social stated that NBC's position is "There is no there there." and that the whole thing would just die away. Nothing said about the AI Obama video.
Charlotte goddammit. I have a vacation planned next week
I sure hope so. I have stocked up on way too much popcorn that cannot go to waste.
I just remind myself daily that my parents, who lived through the depression, and my dad, who survived three and a half years in the army during WWII, were always convinced everything would be okay, as long as you lived in the U.S. I refuse to fall into despair.
I guess you mean big news breaking, but I at first thought you meant something would fracture and go right off the rails. That’s a genuine fear of mine. When the big news breaks, what happens next?
Good, let it give!
You know that when the political\legal death blow comes he’ll have some advanced notice before we do. That’s when he’ll take the unhinged to level million. We won’t even notice cause he’s already unhinged at level 2000 and we don’t know the difference. It will only be visible to us in hindsight.
I keep thinking the same and then everything just ratchets up. I hope you’re right.
Something breaking, well for him, it "Depends".
Oh, I sincerely hope so!
Something big already happened… Trumps AG was caught in a blatant lie over the Epstein files and Trump failed to quash it with his usual rhetoric that it’s nothing and if it was anything, it’s a hoax. They will release a highly scrubbed and heavily manipulated set of files.
... 'brace for impact' ⚠️⚠️
You do know the purpose of that position, don't you?
You may be on to something. I am shocked by what I am seeing on the Far Right, in MAGAland, with some of the most vocal Influencers taking a stand against Dear Leader. More please, an avalanche more.
from your lips to the Fates' ears!
Just have to interject with the fact that Sherer is my maiden name. I don't see it spelled that way often.
Neither do I! That's really cool.
I think this, too. Something soon.
Nah. We always think that. And nothing ever shakes loose.
When he fired Comey in season 1, I thought it was only a matter of time before he was cooked
It does.. but that will take time. VOTE in whatever election is available to you, and stay ready for 2026. And guard our local election systems with everything you’ve got.
Actually, things shake loose frequently, but there's such an avalanche of shit, whole fucking landslide of bullshit, that the bits of accountability get lost in it. In any case, I'm allergic to fatalistic takes. Have fun with that.
Im saving up my hope bank for elections in 2026 and stopping this madness then. I’m not wasting time thinking some miracle is going to drop. It’s more exhausting having hope and constantly getting disappointed. So yeah you can have “fun” with that.
It's possible to hope for and work for more than one thing at a time. I don't see this as waiting around for a "miracle", this is strategic. The focus on this topic is clearly freaking them out, so the longer we keep it in the news cycle, the more mistakes and unforced errors they make.
We won't have elections in 2026, so you're wasting your time having hope on that. See? Any of us can do this. Any of us can be relentlessly pessimistic. It's very easy to do.
Its the whole “trumps panicking” “something’s got to give” “not going to make it to next week” BS that I am reacting against. You think it’s being hopeful and I disagree. I get my hope from different things like cases that will hold people accountable, or a gov race in VA. You do you. Whatever.
Except this body issues and his twitching over the Epstein files are reasonable signs for hope in this area. He could well collapse in the next weeks/months. Best to be prepared for that possibility at any rate.
*his body issues
But friend, why do y'all feel the need to look at the ways other people hope and go out of your way to throw ice water on it? I don't get that. I don't understand that.
Because it's not about hope, it's about being right. It's the mindset rotting America, "if you don't think the way I do you're beneath me and it's my proud duty to belittle you until you agree with me". Unfortunately it's not unique to the Right anymore. I'm going to blame Elon, because it's fun.
Somebody has to be an optimist and that person is not me so thank you for your service 😉
I mean, you kid, but truthfully: imagine having thousands of people ask you to perform emotional labor for them on a daily basis.
Yeah I see your point. That’s pretty exhausting. For what it’s worth I hope you’re right. Omg we need something to happen.
That post was so reminiscent of what we went through in trump 1 thinking every week it was going to break. And for four years nothing did, as much as lots of social media types built entire followings on that type of hopium posting. I’m just trying to be realistic, and yes, hopeful.
Okay, well, with all due respect, maybe you should unfollow me. If something I post makes you feel that kind of weird PTSD from the first Trump term, you should unfollow me. I'm serious.
Thanks I will! Not sure how I ended up following you in the first place.
I don't either. I wouldn't think you'd appreciate my work. You seem pretty down on the world. Good luck to you.
Do you think we’re gonna somehow get stuck with Vance at the helm after this shit show?
I still think it was all pretty much Thiel's and Andreessen's plan all along: Ride the maga circus to office, then either orange man strokes out, they 25th or impeach him, and then their sock puppet Vance becomes prez.
And didn’t Vance make a pilgrimage to see the Murdochs last week?
Shhh, it’s supposed to be secret
The Epstein mob are retreating already. E.g, C Kirk is now saying he trusts his “friends” in the Admin to do the right thing. I was hoping this would be his undoing but it seems their are taking back control of the voices. Though, Vance scares me more…
I’m going with full on quadruple down: arrests of the Clintons, Obama, and Bidens, all wrapped up in a big investigation written by Grok xAI bow. Every MSM will run with it, and it will become the new truth.
Lawrence O'Donnell coming in and unexpectly doing a show on this past Friday, with a combination of his usual brilliant savagery--and a little twinkle in his eyes--gave me the sense that people who know more than I do are expecting even more very big breaking news imminently.
I feel he was used to be the front of all the damage. He will go and Vance will be pres. Nothing to impeach Vance over if the Dems take back any control He will run 28 as an incumbent.
Hopefully the rumors about his visit to the Murdochs are true and JD "Eddie Haskell" Vance is undermining Frump while whispering fawning platitudes in his ear. Then when the last Trumpaloons in MAGA who still believe Donnie's innocent get wind of his treachery they'll be after JD.
The best firing squads are the circular ones...
In MAGA’s case it’d be ideal
The problem with that scenario is that the next person in line after JD gets destroyed is the Speaker of the House…
My best-case fanfic story pitch is that as the walls tumble down in the administration the Speaker goes before JD, but there's the frightening possibility they'd find a WORSE speaker. Hopefully the Rs would be so splintered from infighting they'd have to pick one that enough Dems would vote for.
I mean, each step down my fantasy storyline makes it less and less likely but we might as well dream big! Only those of us who could already smell the brimstone wafting off Miller would've believed a prediction about Alligator Auschwitz 6 months ago.
At least it opens up the possibility of fighting through to something better…
Hoping you picked “two weeks” as a joke 😊
Praying the big breaking news swings the Democrat’s way. It’s been terrifying and exhausting that every freaking news break over the last 7 months has been a blow to democracy and decency.
Not if Vance is installed.
Just please give us satisfaction! There have been too many years of ugliness from this ugly trump regime. Someone has to turn this around… And fast!
