Joe, I’m not sure I understand your thinking here. A lot of people in MAGA right now feel deeply betrayed. For whatever reason, they couldn’t see the other stuff—but this time, something broke through. It’s a step in the right direction—an awakening. Two things can happen at once.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
So true. It's the twilight zone, and that's why so many people still can't see it.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks!

My answer has always been that it's what I do best; it's something I've been fortunate enough to make a living from—art. The world is pretty bizarre, much as good much is not so good and some in somewhere in between, but we are still human and art is important. IMHO

He shows a little tiny bit of compassion for a second, and then, of course, he shifts it back to how he's been saved. All about him. People wonder why we think he's not well — clearly, he's not well.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
That's great. It's so easy to feel discouraged. It shows we're still human, which is actually a good thing, but of course, we must keep fighting the urge not to let it steal all our joy.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Nothing beats angry political protest songs. That's a good thing, but I guess yes, it gets tiring—you know, only singing about the horrible stuff. But it's hard not to sing about it. Talk about it. Scream about it.

Wow, wow, wow. I haven't read the article yet. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. What should we expect next? There are very few people I trust anymore, and you're still one of the few I think is actually doing a great job and is hilarious in the darkest of days.

Lately, I—and so many of my artist friends—have been feeling out of step with the world. We’re all artists in one way or another—shaping, expressing, surviving. If you’re feeling disconnected, you’re not alone. Keep creating anyway.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Back at you. Thanks for being a voice of reason during these strange, bewildering times in America.

It's not a problem at all. I just really like this song. I forgot about it for a while, and I'm disturbed that Trump decided to use it without permission. You're fine, Lila! There is nothing wrong with making an observation!
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Also, although it wasn't originally written about Vietnam, it became an anthem for some soldiers returning from the war. I find this song really inspiring. But yes, that lyric is a little strange when you first look at it.

Chat GPT helped explain what that means.... → The cause of their sadness is the absence of universal compassion. They’re grieved by how rare it is for people to truly love and care for each other.

It's good to see you. You're brave to speak the truth amid the madness, and the good news is he hasn't arrested you. I think he's onto someone else from CNN today, I don't remember her name but she got the madman rant.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, but in Trump's reality TV show brain, he definitely fits the part. (sadly)
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
I understand what you mean. Sometimes, it's helpful when it comes to the "crazy" stuff Trump does every day.🤣
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
If you're curious, just type into a search engine, 'Trump parody bomb Iran song,' and you'll be able to see the version he shared, it's disturbing propaganda.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, and that was way before 9/11; everything changed the reality of the world we live in, so that's the last thing you want to do— basically POFUS said to take a country and level it to a parking lot..Those are humans. (he is not) WTF?
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Then yesterday, he released a parody song that was completely disgusting and inappropriate on every level about bombing Iran. It does not honor the brave who served this country. It's ugly propaganda.

Oh my goodness. This is really embarrassing. He's already done enough with his ridiculous revisions of anything that doesn't promote his brand. It's about time he becomes a real president.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
The reality TV show host gets to create his own version of reality because there are millions of Americans who have decided he's the only one telling the truth. That's the most frightening part of all this, George.

He is certainly expressing thoughts that many Democrats appear hesitant to articulate, which is refreshing. Let’s see what unfolds, hoping for the best, Mike. Thank you for all you do.

I just opened up Blue Sky, and there you were with the dumpster truck fire(you need a bigger one)🤣. I was thinking of you and wondering what your thoughts are about Trump's full-on QAnon/Pepe image. I'll have to tune in at 4 o'clock. Thank You Sir!
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
It looks great to me. I'm an artist, and sometimes I use old ephemera in my mixed media work.🤣 I'm sure that has nothing to do with anything that you're talking about. 🤣

After looking at the artwork and the title, I knew right away it would be JVL! 😒 (I've been feeling this ever since we elected him the first time, then the 2020 madman insisting that he won; I knew we were doomed). Something's wrong with society to get to this place. How deep is the rot? 😟

Trump wrote an executive order, and he changed the definition of "ethical leadership." He'll probably put it in a dictionary; perhaps he'll name it "Donald."
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Most likely, he doesn't because he is a narcissist and not capable of actually facing reality, unfortunately for us.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
We feel embarrassed by his behavior. Leaders are laughing at him, not because of his plane, but because of his ridiculous behavior most of the time.

It's a good thing that you're not a visual artist; we are only entitled to five pencils. Trump also said he was "artistic"; he can put many an artist out of work. I mean, look at his beautiful taste in White House decor... you're great at what you do Tom. You know how it is everybody's a critic!

Thank you, Jim. I've been enjoying your interviews. I will check it out, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are on Pope Donny 2 Dolls?
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
When I first saw that, I thought to myself, "I wonder what Paul thinks about this. How disturbing!" I will check out what you wrote. Thank you again for your service and for always speaking out.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
One of the biggest problems we face is that people don't see the truth; many insist that Trump is a really good person. Because of the actions of those in power who have allowed this to happen, they somehow think, well, he can't be that bad. People are fighting, but they need to do better.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
However, sometimes we use humor because if we don't, we will go insane. This is a very stressful and difficult time for many of us. Take a look at this reporter's face; he, too is disgusted, but if we don't laugh, we'll cry 24/7.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Many of us have been speaking out against him and taking action to try to stop him for years. Trump supporters are a separate entity unto themselves. Please don't lump us all into one group; most of us are completely on your side and have been disgusted by what he's been doing with Canada.

Interesting, I didn't recognize his name at first, but something told me it had to be one of the people he was interviewing, just based on what they were discussing.

He still insists he won the 2020 election. He's also winning in the polls because all the polls are fixed by the deep state, and everybody knows that.

Some refuse to look. I believe many choose to look the other way because facing the truth—on its own merits, without attaching dear leader—might just be too much to Behr.

Jack, you have a remarkable ability to simplify what appears to be incredibly complex. Yes, I think that's our current situation, but what could we have anticipated? We elected a criminal.
Sue Zipkin (@suezipkin.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you for the clarification.❤️ I knew it sounded familiar Trump would probably tell you he did make a deal with Czechoslovakia.🤣

It's a lovely song, but I noticed you have Czechoslovakia in your song. You're going to have to revise that one...LOL

The question is, did she do anything illegal, or did she just follow the law that Trump doesn't like? She is entitled to due process, and we are entitled to hear more about what exactly they are arresting her for. SICK TIMES!

We all appreciate what you’re doing, Senator Murphy. Now, if only you could get more of your colleagues to follow your lead. You’re one of the few who speaks clearly and realistically about what’s happening—no fake version of fascism from you. Many still treat this moment as normal politics.

It’s astonishing that people see this and think it’s normal. They actually believe it’s legal—and that’s what’s so frightening. They don’t understand due process. It doesn’t matter if the person is the worst human alive—rights still apply. That’s the whole point of democracy.
