Only difference is, trump is handing land to putin that trump does not own, I don't think putin and netanyahu or even Kim Jong Un has ever done that. but trump did openly state, he wants to be like Kim Jong Un, because the people get on bended knee for him

That’s a damn shame when you can’t even be bothered to draw from your own corrupt playbook, but instead draw from some else’s.

Correct, Elijah! But I think it's called Project 2025.

Nope. Israel is defending itself against murderers, r@pests, and other garbage called Hamas. Trump wants money & power & has been making multi-million $ deals to benefit himself & his family all during his terms.

netanyahu PERPETUATED a war to stay IN POWER and OUT of PRISON.

DJT has been the beneficiary of the corrupt MAGA 6 Supreme Court justices that has increasingly shown their true colors of being pro-public corruption (for Oligarchs such as Koch et al). DJT hates checks and balances, which has been widely reported by those in the room during his first term. At the present, we have 2 guard rails: ballot box and the lower federal courts. There are groups who have been successfully fighting Trump in the lower and appellate courts. We have a lot of work to do, starting now.

The Supreme Court is a fucking joke at this time as they are also working for our criminal in the W/House

Is there any depth of immorality, greed, or unconscionable depravity to which this decaying monster will not crawl?? Sliding ever further downhill into an unimaginable hell, lubricated by the slime of his evil toadies?? 😈 😡🖤

Correct. There is no bottom to felon Trump’s depravity, nor that of the Republic Fascist Party which is supporting his criminal enterprise. Thanks for sharing.

Eyes wide open, a critical mass of the American voting public shoehorned this execrable man into the highest office of the land. Rarely in my life have I assessed any other human being as utterly without redeeming value. Unfortunately in this case, I have lived long enough to experience it in my own country. We have chosen an individual to lead us who is turning the nation into a veritable cesspool of corruption. It will take years, and perhaps generations, to regain simple human decency as the defining feature of our body politic.

Mary, this is so factually compiled and carefully written. It is an indictment of a criminal yet his cult still belive he is making America great and joke about the victims. This is truly dangerous! Be very careful.

Cheeto has his tentacles in every facet of our institutions, social media, TV networks, world affairs, celebrities. Nothing is exempt from his influence or interference. Now he has created a sudo “war” against drug traffickers from Venezuela. Only to distract our attention from the Epstein file’s. Unfortunately we may never know the truth. He is an old demented man, totally out of touch with reality. Lies , Lies , and Lies openly with no pushback. He is a racist, think about it, making up stories about immigrants. Sending ICE into our city’s, places of business, to only round up alleged illegal immigrants, deporting innocent citizens to ICE facilities in Louisiana. All of this done in only 10 months of his presidency. What will the next 3 years hold. We have become de-sensitized to his actions. As long as you can go to the grocery store, get coffee at Starbucks, etc. most people really do not give a crap what is happening to our democracy and country.

I appreciated your words that Donald surrounds himself with criminals as he is one himself.

Roger's avatar

Mary, your comments on what Donald has done to dismantle the DOJ were urgently needed. He is destroying institutions and it's writers like you that bring attention to the action. As his "lame duck" term continues, I believe we'll continue to see an erosion in Congressional support for him. Thanks for all you do on this.

I am curious to know the orange felon's medical records, there is definitely something wrong with his health. He is repeating himself more, slurring his words more, falling asleep more, even talking like a child more, and his eyes do not look the same. I think he should release his medical records and the Epstein files at once.

He has Dementia and Alzheimer's. Why else would they do an MRI of his head. He is taking more meds, to help slow it down. It won't stop it, just gives him more time to do his damage.

Djt has been hateful & sadistic for decades. Now, that dementia is making him worse. 250 years fighting for democracy & then we get a traitor for president. Thanks Mary for your posts. I look forward to watching or reading posts.
