There is talk of Mexico next, then Cuba, Greenland, and more. The mob has taken over our government and they are running a protection racket on whatever they set their sights on. "Nice country you got here, hate for anything bad to happen to it." It's a protection racket.

Donald is losing what few fans he had. Hi of China is complaining loudly. The American people see him and his billionaire buddies as being like the buzzards around here. The sky darkens with suits as they circle around what they think is a pile of money to be made. They feast on people's lives and livelihoods.

Donald's bubble and blood vessels are going to burst soon. Then there will be unelected evil like Miller and Musk and Theil to deal with along with Bondi, Hegseth, and the rest.

Join ICE and get your student loan paid off. Everyone else gets their paycheck garnished.

Donald empowered those people. The backwoods psychos. The undereducated masses. The disturbed young people. He empowered them. He rewards them. He pardons them.

Our government plots disaster and destruction while we try to sleep. How will they top what they just did? How can they sink any lower? They will figure out a way.

So I wonder why Stephen Miller isn't speaking German? I'm reading a book about a family's experience in 1933 Germany & Miller is saying the same thing in his interview with Jake Tapper that the Nazis were saying about the way they were going to run the world back then. Almost literally the same.

Lil Marco has deer in the headlights vibe. Donnie's 'reign' mirrors Maduro's.Tinpot dicktator grabbing oil for billionaire oil Barrons. (Not a misspelling). Whole damn family is corrupt, Donnie showed them how, why, where and when. He's just like MBS. How long til he has a woman journalist (who dares ask him a simple question) killed for retribution?

Except Mary L. Trump who tells us exactly how uncle don-roe doctrine got to be the prick he's always been. She's likely the ONLY trump worth listening to, and watching. We OWE you, Mary, grateful for your candor, diagnoses, honesty. Something the rest of the family is ignorant of.

It very clearly never has been about drug trafficking. I started thinking that it was likely about oil, which the orange felon has stated, but now I do not think that is really it either, at least not completely. From everything I have read about the oil in Venezuela, it will take hundreds of billions of dollars, and at least 10 years to to get the infrastructure for extracting it and processing it functional. There is currently a glut of oil on the global market and prices are low. So we do not emergently "need" the oil.

I think the actual reason is expansion of power and control. Now I see that the MAGA cult is saying "our Hemisphere" rather than "America First". Putin's dream is a world controlled by him, his orange felon buddy and China, and the orange guy is trying to make that a reality. That was apparently also part of Project 2025, and it is definitely part of the recent National Security memo, that was Putin approved. The Danes are saying if Felon 47 goes after Greenland, it will be the end of NATO. The stability of the entire world has been disrupted, and too many people are still not paying attention.

I watched Rachel Maddow last night and she was pretty much saying the same thing. If you pull back for a a more full picture, you can see that it’s been about T using the military at his sadistic pleasure here and all over the western hemisphere. First it was the military in our cities, and as that has continued, we now see 2026 becoming, it seems, the year of displaying military might in Venezuela and beyond.

During Saturday’s abhorrent press conference, someone in the press mentioned Cuba (I don’t remember the exact context), and there was no refuting the idea of going there next. In fact, Rubio said, “You heard it here first.”

Ain’t no oil in Cuba, far as I know.

There’s also the Curtis Yarvin/Peter Thiel push for “network nations,” in which the “nations” are networks led by tech billionaire CEOs. This could be part of the mix, part of the big effing plan.

There’s a wicked brew in a giant cauldron with a giant fire underneath and it needs to come to light way more, and soon.

Mary, I am glad you are back safe and still have a Passport. Keep in mind, Trump has friends way down in El Salvadore who control a prison where, they say ICE can deport people to. He's friends with the Honduran underground and the MAGA Capitol Police killers, standing by. I used to believe that somehow the Constitution was keeping us safe. That was when those taking the oath were honest! This sworn liar is doing everything to nullify the Constitution so he can be MAGAs King!

Trump also pardoned Ross Ulbricht, a fellow “entrepreneur” who ran a billion dollar drug empire he received 45 years for running … just like Juan Hernandez. I actually think Donald admired them! After all, they didn’t have oil.

Listening to you on your podcast too. We will benefit from your perspective and encouragement to vote for Dem's in the midterms. Fingers crossed we will have check and balance restored in 2026. If you have any sway with the Democratic Leadership please ask if they can listen to their base and end any enabling, no delay in investigations and charges when possible of this current criminal regime. Retire and get out of the way if lacking courage. Shout out to Zohran Mamdani!

Add Nicaragua to the list of nothing makes sense in America any longer, and we will likely never know the truth. Praying this goes better than Iraq and Libya. Would be nice for once that we learn from our mistakes. Welcome home Mary. Glad you had a good trip.

I think we've seen enough to know that this lawlessness will continue to escalate unless ALL of us in the opposition get out in the streets and on every possible media site and stress that Trump is in violation of his oath of office and all moral decency and MUST be stopped. Keep up the overwhelming resistance and demand that Congress put the brakes on him. When the dems gain control of both houses of Congress he must finally be IMPEACHED and REMOVED from office. Hopefully he has committed enough state crimes to be convicted and jailed, along with his henchmen It must be done after he is out of office so he can't use the pardon power. All the polls show that the vast majority of citizens are not in favor of Trump's "agenda". Make it clear that any elected officials who support his criminal behavior are also guilty of aiding and abetting his crimes. We choose to keep our democracy and we CAN'T let this go on any longer!!!!

Let's state the obvious. ICE is Trump's personal thug army. Arresting illegal immigrants is just a cover. Trump sends them in just to terrorize American citizens. If they really were going after immigrants, then why do they refuse to wear identification and wear masks? What possible justification do they have for that? Just like Hitler's Blackshirts, they are just trigger happy bigots with no training, whom are told that they don't have to obey any laws or any rules. It would be interesting to find out what Kristi Noem's vetting process is for these guys. " Do you hate all minorities and do you want to shoot and beat up people and get away with it? You're in." If we continue to believe their cover fantasy, a lot more people are going to be hurt and die.
