“Then it was Jamie Raskin’s turn. As always, this indispensable member of Congress did went straight at his target, armed with the facts and more intelligence in his little finger than is possessed but the entire Republican caucus.”
Thank you Mary. I look forward to everything you write. I sincerely hope that there are enough sane people who will see Donald for what he is and not vote for him.
I totally agree with you. I too hope there are enough sane people who will see Donald for what he is and not vote for him. A vote for Donald is a vote to destroy our democracy and undermine the very fabric of our Constitution. Mary Trump, thank you for your efforts.
Mary, thanks gif fighting the good fight! I wish Christie would endorse Biden. But maybe he did with his character comment. Raskin represented great state of Maryland-the bluest state in the Union by the numbers!
DJT was a real MONSTER as a kid, I've read. A BULLY that basically picked on other kids, derided, insulted kids & teachers just because it was " FUN ". If he had KILLED a student ( or at least put one in the hospital ICU ) just because Papa Fred could smooth things over & clean up the mess, I WOULD NOT be overly surprised.
You must be exhausted keeping us all up to date on what's been going on with Trump and the Republicans. I hope you get some R&R soon, even if only for a day. And thanks for keeping us up to date.
I feel the same way. I no longer trust the GOP. In fact, I have lost faith in SCOTUS since they overturned Roe v. Wade - because they took away a woman's right to choose for every woman in America and returned us to the 1950's when women were considered less than a man.
IF those of us who truly believed in US democracy & the values of TRUE Americans stood up & held the GOP & their fake patriotism accountable, I mean, STUCK THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE, NO COMPROMISING, we could make a change. As long as we started with the non - MAGA Republicans & just let the Libertarians stew in their own juices......& we told the Evangelicals to get out of bed with them / get the HELL out of Dodge.....
Never thought much of Christie when he was in grovelling mode; but he is a very savvy and intelligent man. Of all the R candidates, he was the only one I could have accepted if forced to pick.
I hope he hosts Meet the Press & beyond. He spoke up & out against the Madness that is don the con trump. For that he has redeemed himself while the gop has turned into fascism 101.
TFG has EVERY INTENTION of being a combination of an iron - fisted dictator such as Qaddafi or Ferdinand Marcos or even South Korea's late president Park. WE CANNOT F--KING ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN !
Yeah, well; can't expect saints in politics, I guess. Just saying I'd pick him as the least awful example of Homo sapiens sapiens currently on offer from the R team.
UGH... That guy Gosar is apparently not much more than a little boy in a man's suit... talk about fumbling and bumbling... and having ZERO FACTS. Epic FAIL.
Yet another one that when I listen to him I wonder how anyone could vote for him. His own siblings have spoken out against him. Sorta like RFK Jr's siblings speaking out against him. Another nut job. His father his rolling over in his grave.
Oh Ms. T, you are amazing 🤩 I've recommended your book to Uber drivers and whenever possible, will be trolling BACK on your behalf out on the interwebs. GO MARY!!! 🙏💙❣️
Both books are great. Mary is a fantastic researcher and superb writer. Even if you don't read much (especially non-fiction), I think you'll find her work welcoming and inspirational.
I put my dissertation off for three years (spent teaching, which I loved) and then wrote it in a summer. That part was fun--it was getting the footnotes formatted that almost did ME in!
You are a shinning star and the sharp edges of your stars were made to torment the sadly impossible relation of yours!!! KEEP UP helping our Nation stop this crazy situation!
What a hoot to see you on a roll! Maybe I’ve missed other similar posts from you as a newer (paid) member, but as a fellow psychologist who spent 30 years conducting criminal risk assessments for use in the courts in determining disposition, I can totally agree that you are reading him perfectly. Rock on!
“Then it was Jamie Raskin’s turn. As always, this indispensable member of Congress did went straight at his target, armed with the facts and more intelligence in his little finger than is possessed but the entire Republican caucus.”
I love this! He is the best!
Raskin is totally awesome, I agree!!
How about Raskin for president in 2028 ?
With Katie Porter as VP!! We can dream, can't we?
I Would Say AYE to both
A joy to watch him at work!
Jamie is not just a national treasure. He is an intergalactic treasure.
I’m glad you are charged up with positive feelings today. Sometimes it’s hard to muster even a modicum of confidence beyond an audible ugh.
I agree.
Thanks, Mary. 💙
Thank you Mary. I look forward to everything you write. I sincerely hope that there are enough sane people who will see Donald for what he is and not vote for him.
DJT will say " pay no attention to the man behind the curtain ! ".
Only it’s a trillion times more malignant…or is it?
He would NEVER put himself behind a curtain! Not Donald The Camera-Monger.
I have NO IDEA what in Perdition's flames I was thinking.....
You were correct, Daniel. We need to look behind the curtain to see who is pulling T💩p’s strings. He is a useful puppet.
I totally agree with you. I too hope there are enough sane people who will see Donald for what he is and not vote for him. A vote for Donald is a vote to destroy our democracy and undermine the very fabric of our Constitution. Mary Trump, thank you for your efforts.

Sorry about the typos
More important that you write Kathi
The question is…can he feel shame? He is a soulless dementor. He will continue to blunder ahead until a court finally stops him for good.
He's like a hybrid of the Jagannath & Frankenstein's monster, with a dollop of Bizarro.
Ha! That’s a great mix…but still more appealing than his current visage!
Oh, Julia, a squid that crawled out of its tank, crawled out onto the highway & then squashed by 2 18 - wheelers would look DIVINE !
Ewww!
A squid is still smarter than Drumph…
So is a dead tapeworm or flatworm.
LOL!! :DDD
Frankenstein’s monster exhibited at least a modicum of kindness. We have not seen this in DJT, and never will. Don ups his level of cruelty.

Amen. I no longer trust the GOP. About as far as I could toss Mt. Kilimanjaro.

I am so proud of my "brothers," Rep. Moskowitz and Rep. Raskin!
They are both awesome. They tell it like it is and don't hold back.
Great work Ms Trump! I love your newsletter and am proud to continue being a subscriber. Thank you
Should that be Dr. Trump??? I believe she has a PhD. :)
Thanks, Mary... Have been listening to news all day. It was our hope too that Christie will back Biden... wouldn’t that just drive tfg nuts? 🤭🤞🏽
Never thought much of Christie when he was in grovelling mode; but he is a very savvy and intelligent man. Of all the R candidates, he was the only one I could have accepted if forced to pick.

Savvy and intelligent, yes, but still a narcissist and sociopath.
Yeah, well; can't expect saints in politics, I guess. Just saying I'd pick him as the least awful example of Homo sapiens sapiens currently on offer from the R team.
Omg Mary this was not just brilliant today, but so hilarious !! Thank you thank you thank you
Jamie Raskin and Jasmine were...on fire !!
I think perhaps the most humiliating one in the House was on Mr. Gosar at the end,
when Jamie Raskin asked on what facts was Joe Biden guilty :

UGH... That guy Gosar is apparently not much more than a little boy in a man's suit... talk about fumbling and bumbling... and having ZERO FACTS. Epic FAIL.
He looked like a deer in car headlights when he saw Hunter Biden enter the room today. Priceless !
Yet another one that when I listen to him I wonder how anyone could vote for him. His own siblings have spoken out against him. Sorta like RFK Jr's siblings speaking out against him. Another nut job. His father his rolling over in his grave.
Priceless!
Best part of my day is here. Looking forward to reactions as we move, well, forward.
Me too ! I really appreciate the responses of all you "Mary lovers". It's a great neighborhood to be a part of . . .
Oh Ms. T, you are amazing 🤩 I've recommended your book to Uber drivers and whenever possible, will be trolling BACK on your behalf out on the interwebs. GO MARY!!! 🙏💙❣️
If any of you "Mary lovers" have not read her book -- GET IT ! You will find out her REAL reason for not liking her uncle from a young age .
Both books are great. Mary is a fantastic researcher and superb writer. Even if you don't read much (especially non-fiction), I think you'll find her work welcoming and inspirational.
I’ve read both of her books and will always refer to anyone who has a Ph.D as “Doctor.”
Thank you, but most of us don't stand on that ceremonial address, bluesyfish!
:) A Master's thesis almost did me in, can't imagine having the fortitude to do a dissertation! Eek!
I put my dissertation off for three years (spent teaching, which I loved) and then wrote it in a summer. That part was fun--it was getting the footnotes formatted that almost did ME in!
You are a shinning star and the sharp edges of your stars were made to torment the sadly impossible relation of yours!!! KEEP UP helping our Nation stop this crazy situation!
We love you Mary. Your reporting is very complete and factual. Thank you for being a faithful soldier.
You are singlehandedly rehabilitating the Trump name.
