Have you ever seen such a string of lies? Anyone who believes him DESERVES what it will bring them. We already know there are a lot of stupid people out there.

My concern is for all the people who DON'T BELIEVE this insane BS, but will be directly impacted by what occurs as a result of those who fell for the bullcrap.

Yes, the repercussions of a stupid, malignant narcissist w megalomania and loads of dunning-Kruger followers has been allowed to do to the country what he did w his casinos, his “university “, his steaks, his vodka, his old post office hotel in dc— bankrupt failures. How long till the recession?

Very grim summary of DJT on our TV this evening. They say he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Seems like he’ll bring everyone down with him.

Americans are losing their health insurance, can barely afford to pay for gas, and the Trump family is making money from doing business with our country getting $ from foreign countries. And Republicans are too scared to speak up.

So well written, Mary ❤️. You are a truth teller.

Your piece captures something many people are sensing but struggling to articulate: it’s not just the immediate damage of everything he’s doing, it’s the normalization of it. When economic strain, legal overreach, and public messaging all begin drifting in the same distorted direction, people start to question their own perceptions. It can feel like a controlled version of reality is taking hold.

What’s most unsettling isn’t only the criminal actions themselves—it’s the lack of urgency from the institutions meant to respond. When those in power don’t confront these issues directly, the burden shifts to the public to keep asking hard questions and refusing to accept misleading narratives. The longer we stay in this skewed realty, the harder it will be to get out. Time is running out for us. I just hope we make it to the elections, but I fear they aren’t going to let that happen easily. I do still believe something will give.

Ghostlyair59 - Much of the current mess can be traced right back to Elon using DOGE to reduce or eliminate many of the personnel that were tasked with oversight, to the point where most oversight is no longer. Felon47 lies, his cabinet backs up the lies, the GOP congress backs up the lies and all of the GOP praises Felon47 for whatever lie they are currently discussing.

I'm in total agreement with you regarding how twisted this all has become. Our government that we are supposed to respect (and hopefully trust to some degree) to represent us and protect us has become THE MAJOR PRODUCER of creatively invented mis-information, distorted information and total lies. I absolutely agree with you that the current skewed reality is quite unsettling. One feels as if you are walking on a floor that is not stable or solid that promises to trip you up or cause you to fall with every step,so you must be paying full attention constantly.

It does feel as if there is an alternate reality, but not always sure whether that is the horror/fantasy land created in Felon47's demented mind and accepted by the GOP as their reality - or is the real world being transformed into a level of horror/fantasy as a result of the constant lies and BS from the current administration? It is very disconcerting to watch our government turning reality and fact and truth upside down for the personal gains of a very few people.

Oh, don’t get me started on DOGE and Elon. There’s so much chaos going on every second of the day, everyone seems to have forgotten about that absolute mind blowing blip in time. I look forward to the day I wake up and not have to think about what Donald will destroy today.

You and me and a LOT of other people. As long as that whole bunch of these scum suckers is gone, I'll be better. Just keep fighting the good fight and I really think we shall overcome. Hope I live long enough to see it.

OMG, that FOX segment was ridiculous. Gaslighting at it's maximum.

I wonder how many service members will stand up to the World Idiot and help send him porking - er, packing.

Debi's avatar

Freudian slip? 🤣🤣

Can America really go down by means of a cheap con man and jack leg?

Steve Doll's avatar

If it can, it deserves to for allowing it to happen. Perhaps those of integrity, compassion and reason may raise something better ans stronger from the detritus.

Speaking about Congress and chickenshit gop losers leaving town on Friday night, boy that’s a new one…nobody ever thought of that one. Let’s count the dear leader wars that have not been ‘won’ BY HIM but were started or encouraged by HIM.

The boy has everything going in the WRONG directions what a fuckup just putting it mildly because in truth he has fuckedup astronomically.

Such powerful writing, Mary. Thank you.

So ~ really? Congress can just ——leave ? Better f***ing be without pay, insurance, dignity and respect for the ones making that decision.

Are they really that cowardly ?

Seems so.

F***ing so

Why is this SC negro supporting trump and republicans? I hope he is the first negro gotten rid of with the orange moron’s ridiculous racist ways. I hope the two of them are roommates in hell.

Are any of the GOP even capable of telling the truth?

Is there something chemical, possibly a controlled substance, added to the GOP water that makes them incapable of speaking the truth? Maybe there is some chemical additive the GOP all take that causes them to believe they are actually living in the alternate reality Felon47 has invented in his demented mind and insists is real?

BTW - Are those GOP congress persons being paid while they leave town, violate their oath and fail to actually represent their constituents? THEY still have their wonderful medical coverage, right? The GOP Congress has barely done a thing for anyone but themselves and haven't done the job they are supposed to be doing, so why are they getting paid?
