Yesterday's picture of the president, vice president, secretary of state and secretary of defense standing together pretending to be a group of "experts" was the most ironic picture I've seen in--forever. These are the four who are running the world right now! Lower case letters for their positions is intentional!
Trump leads like a squirrel crossing the street, and the rest couldn’t come up with one spine and three brain cells between them. It’s going to be a long 3.5 years…
And John — watched your sermon at UUPF Sunday. Very nice - thank you.
Once again I am so impressed with you. I love the way you write, and I just listened to your voice. You must really impact thousands of people! Thank you for trying to help me put all of this into focus. I did get one piece of good news this morning that the Senate Parliamentarian has removed the public lands for sale from the big beautiful bill as they like to call it which is anything but big and beautiful. But our public lands are again safe and I thank God for that. I put in so much time in making calls and writing letters and just plain begging assistants that I got taking calls for their senators to take the time to listen to me and promised me that they would be sure to pass on my message and now I know they did! Our National Parks, our State Parks, monuments, ski resorts, mountains, deserts, beaches, Tribal lands, her once again safe! They are there for our recreation for playing and enjoying nature and all of its peaceful and tranquil loveliness! I'm sorry I'm crying I'm just so happy for this one piece of good news! I pray that we get more soon, that Trump will be indicted or impeached and that he and his regime will be indicted and impeached for all of their fraud and lawlessness! Maybe that's too much to ask for but I we did get one thing removed from that bill today. We have to keep working to try to save more! John thank you for your words!!!
Such important advice! We need to stay focused and organized and prepared to reassemble our democracy as soon as the opportunity presents itself. We can outlast them if we keep the faith. Maybe we can even build it back better than before. And stronger. We know who the enemy is now and what he will do. He has played his hand and we are smarter than him. Keep fighting!
You are so right John. So much going on and all of it has the potential to inexorably change our country. I am in Europe right now and every day I am encountering people from all over who know that we Americans are not all Trumpers. And they express fear and bewilderment about Trump and they express sympathy to me.
“A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.”
General Mark Hertling was on yesterday with Nicole Wallace and he went through everything that Trump said after the bombing.
He said first of all, Trump’s use of the word “ obliterated” is nothing but hyperbole.
It’s not a military word or doctrine word that they would use.
Then he said he winced when Trump was announcing what a “ victory” it was and that everything was destroyed when there was no such evidence.
He indicated that there was literally no time to collect evidence on the ground to be able to announce anything and claim this victory.
He pointed out there was no monitoring of anything and how prior to the attack on Iran they had purged and fired so many key people leaving everything vulnerable.
He said the military both the Air Force the Navy had targets that they knew they had to hit, but did not know the whole scope of the mission and how Trump turned into a“regime change” the very next day.
He also said the military does not do regime changes very well.
Then he is posting things on his true social platform that he owns instead of announcing anything through the Pentagon.
And signing everything on this social media platform that he owns
“ Thank you very much, President Donald J Trump president of the United States of America”
He announces a Cease-fire with all these twisted crazy conditions without the countries agreeing. Then back-and-forth all night Again on a social media platform that he himself owns.
While talking about and wanting for himself to receive the Nobel peace prize.
Corporate media is trying to make this normalized like it’s actually something good going on and that he might know what he’s doing!
None of this is serious. It is crazy making..
There is nothing but cognitive dissonance going on.
Nothing serious or grasping and understanding the gravity of what he is messing around with.
We are sitting inside and witnessing the mindset of a megalomania, malignant narcissism and psychopathy.
All serious personality disorders.
Yet the Republicans are initiating at taxpayer expense an investigation into former President Biden to divert from talking about Trump and how they have been compliant and complicit violating their oaths to protect the constitution in the United States of America from treasonous behavior, enemies foreign and domestic. A fascist authoritarian dictatorship movement falls into all these categories.
Any of these members that actually have law degrees should be barred and their law licenses taken away. The schools they received their law degree from should be speaking up and disowning them.
It is so hard not to get completely disgusted with all the lies, corruption, and incompetence of those running all the departments of our government. They try to make the world however they think trump wants. Never the actual statusof the real world. Then they cant even agree on what false picture they want to create for him. Constantly contradicting themselves and Trump. It feels so hopeless that anyone will actually speak the truth or try to do anything in the best interest of our country, or the people who live here. Despite any protests or public actions.
Has anyone heard anything about four CEO's getting military rank just below Generals? I saw a video of this on the weekend. But these days one dosn't believe only eyes.
Our country is quickly imploding under the direction of the biggest imbecile on earth. His loyal "subjects" are running the show and they know how to manipulate this pathetic demented asshole to the detriment of We The People. The tail is wagging the dog. Because Trump rules with his gut (doesn't read anything), he will make one giant blunder after another, which is frightening to think about with domestic terrorism on the rise and Iran contemplating how they will retaliate on us. The white rich Christian nationalists think that they know best for our country and have thought this for a very long time and have planned for it. All the stars aligned for them this year - Supreme Court, Senate, House, and red states. They like to keep the poor, the immigrants, the non-whites, the women, and the LGBTQ communities under water. The white rich stay above water and rule. The good news is that this type of rule has historically collapsed and the people ultimately win. Unfortunately, a lot of suffering will occur before it changes for the better. John is correct - stay focused and don't allow the distractions to take us off course.

I saw that photo too. The Four Horses Asses of the Apocalypse. The ineptitude and betrayal to their oaths is epic.

I call it the Big Bullshit Bill.

Just like Netanyahu, anything to distract from his troubles.
We can't let this stop us from resisting!

Again this 8 year old article is relevant :

I've called our Senators. They are both Democrats so I can't imagine they'll vote for this shameful bill.
Republicans can pass the bill with 51 votes. Due to the Reconciliation process they don't need a 2/3 majority.
It is so hard not to get completely disgusted with all the lies, corruption, and incompetence of those running all the departments of our government.

This is what sane leaders and countries are doing at this point :
