Trump should’ve NEVER been allowed to run for President after January 6. We didn’t stop this from happening when we could’ve and should’ve.
He's a fascist and a convicted felon who does not believe in law or democracy. We're all watching him break more laws over and over and nobody will arrest him for anything. He has never been held accountable for his long list of crimes. He should be in prison, NOT in the White House.
How did we get here? We have a lunatic running the country in to the ground... Do you remember when Trump on the campaign trail said: “I care about your vote, I don’t care about you, I care about your vote” and MAGAs CHEERED? 🤦♀️
When facts don’t dictate your thought, and the lies of a single individual do, you’re in a cult. The Republican party no longer exists, it is simply the MAGA cult. And if you did NOT vote for Kamala Harris you are fully responsible for everything that Trump MAGA GOP dictatorial regime is doing. Period.
This "Don't blame me, I voted for her" t-shirt goes everywhere with me 👇
Yet statistics indicate that - “Based on polling conducted in late 2025 and early 2026, an overwhelming majority of Americans—approximately 75% to 89%—support the full release of all remaining Jeffrey Epstein investigation”.
So the vast majority of Americans have NOT been silence. Quite the contrary.
The trump DOJ and republicans in congress are complicit in the massive, ongoing coverup.
And Trump is frantically trying to control the midterm elections because he knows exactly what will happen if Dems take control.
He’s even illegally “wagged the dog”, costing taxpayers $billions and thousands of lives in the process. The corruption is exhausting !!! But we must remain diligent.
“Most Americans want the Epstein files released, poll finds”
Thanks. I simply will never, for the life of me, understand how any man with a mother, a sister, female friends and colleagues and/or daughters, or any self-respecting woman could possibly vote for the perverse sexual predator who’s occupying our WH!
Project 2025 is only 52% complete The people in power led by your evil uncle will erase the women’s movement that many of us older women fought so hard for
I'm almost 74 years old and I've fought against misogyny (sexual discrimination, harassment and assault) my entire life. I'm sick and tired of it. Yes, not all men behave this way but I'd like to know when do they stand up and speak out against the men who are misogynists and who prey upon women? Again, some do, but it's a very small percentage, and they aren't loud enough.
Mary, this is one of the most important commentaries out there. I would hope everyone reads it, but I know the tyrumpists will never see it. But keep up the good fight. Enlightened female power is the greatest hope we have.
I read Ivana’s book which disappeared from libraries and bookstores “mysteriously”. Ivana did get a great divorce settlement from her husband, though. The book described how she had laughed at his haircut, and Trump was furious. He raped her violently, then left. Ivana called a sister for help, and her sister took her to the hospital. They divorced after this incident. Ivana did not press charges, but she is the only wife who left the marriage very financially secure. Was her fall down the stairs which resulted in her death Trump’s revenge for her writing the book?
TRUMP GIVES THE FINGER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN HIS ENVISIONED SOARING PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI
In his ostentatious self-glorifying towering monument to himself, America’s most reprehensible President intends to bequeath to the American people this soaring monument to his megalomania, emblazoned with his name on top, which will no doubt be in bright lights.
As reported by CNN, “[I]n the nearly two-minute-long video shared by the president on Truth Social, a skyscraper dominates the Miami skyline with the Trump name prominently displayed near the top of the structure. Visitors are depicted entering the building through a golden arch adorned with the presidential seal. Once inside, the imagined interiorfeatures exhibits replicating White House landscapes, iconography referencing Trump’s political career, and a host of aircraft on display” [which will include the grifted Air Force One that Trump induced Qatar to “donate” to his library.]
Needless to say, this self-glorification will be replete with exhibits displaying every gold plated fixture and ornament in his Oval Office and throughout the White House, in addition to his ornate and gaudy Mar-a-Lago estate. It is also expected that his purloined Nobel Peace Prize will be prominently displayed as if it were legitimately awarded to him by the Norwegian Nobel Committee rather than extorted from the true winner.
“Eric Trump, the president’s son and head of the library’s foundation, touted the renderings on X Monday night. ‘This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.’”
It is expected that references to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, and all other such light-weights will be minimized, if mentioned at all.
As CNN continued to report: “References to key moments in Trump’s political ascendance also appear in the video. Visitors are pictured riding a golden escalator, much like the one Trump glided down when he announced his first presidential campaign. And inside a massive auditorium, a towering golden statue of the president with his first raised is seen on stage, mimicking his reaction following the July 2024 attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.”
It is expected that many tapes of Trump’s pronouncements will be included, though perhaps not the “Access Hollywood” tape on which he is heard bragging:” It’s like a magnet…I don’t even wait. When you’re a star, they’ll let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” or his comment that “I run the country and the world.”
In addition, it is expected that clips from Trump’s soap opera “The Apprentice” will be displayed as educational tutorials to enable viewers to learn how he implemented the principles in his ghost-written book, “The Art of the Deal”. Alongside these clips will be analogous showings from episodes of “The Three Stooges” to better place Trump’s oratory in context.
“‘The Trump Presidential Library will be one of the most magnificent buildings in the world and a living testament to the indelible impact President Trump has made on America and its people,’ White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement.”
No monument of any kind would be needed to remember what Donald Trump has done to our country, and the world.
I really hope they never get started on this. They made a mistake decades ago in letting presidential libraries appear to be monuments to presidents. The lunatic Trump sees that he has carte blanche to do any vainglorious garbage to exaggerate his worth (proper monument would be a sewage treatment plant, at best).
I never did believe him because I can see through him excuse the profanity, but he is an incompetent more than likely pedophile racist piece of S—t God help us GOD HELP US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Misogyny is a global issue. Look at the Arab world. Of course, there are SOME great dudes out there. You (me too) are friends with some. But, many of the misogynistic men in this country, also hold sway over many of their women, 51% of whom voted for Donald in 2024!
That was sobering. Don't forget the Colorado Supreme Court found Trump guilty of violating the 14th Amendment and was thus ineligible to run in 2024, so the Roberts court is responsible for this and the people responsible for the Roberts court are Leonard Leo, Mitch McConnell, and a cabal of oligarchs and CEOs.
The question isn't whether people believe Donald now. The cult members are so divorced from reality that of course they do, but they are far from the majority of Americans. The question is how do we stop him, hold him and his enablers accountable, and ensure nothing like this happens again? More than that, how do we not only get people to understand the level of misogyny that is endemic in the US, but make it unacceptable to continue it?
We haven't even reached the level where they will start requiring white women to have babies. Black and brown are unwanted. But the goal is to try to keep the white race in the majority and the demographics aren't pointing that way just now.
How they will go about this is anybody's guess, but it is definitely a primary goal of white Christian fascists.
Excellent commentary. We know we live in a sick system. Now can we focus on the cowardly Congressmen and women who could, but don’t, put an end to this charade? Our next rally should be No Cowards in Congress.
Mary, I agree with nearly all that you say. But one should not equate limits on “gender affirming care” for children with endorsement of conversion therapy. One is a complex issue that is a misnomer (“gender affirming care” is often not actually affirming of gender nor appreciative of or advancing the health of children) while the other is pure evil quackery when actually inflicted on, especially, children.
You’re a legal scholar, so I defer to you on the meaning of today’s ruling (my expertise is a physician working with psychological trauma in children), but my understanding of today’s SCOTUS decision is that it was not so much an endorsement of the practice as a rejection of the language of the Colorado bill which, in their reading, limited free speech. I can see no such claim if the law forbid the actual practice of something called “conversion therapy” and the medical/psychological state boards deemed it malpractice, which they should. A license for anyone advertising or practicing this should be pulled. They should be liable for malpractice claims. The harm they do needs to be codified as criminal.
When will people figure out that being gay or trans is not a life choice? Some people are simply different. And, why is it anyone's business what people do in the privacy of their own homes?
I am different. I have what is called the RED Head gene. It us not my sexual identity that it affects. It affects how I react to drugs including alcohol. Doctors are treating me for cancer now and a drug that works wonders for others, simply does nothing in my body. Two years on a drug that made me sick and icky did absolutely nothing! My oncologist who is an expert on dna, has never treated a red head gene patient. So, two tears wasted and we start over on the 3rd! All kinds of different in this world...
I am so sorry. And yes, far far too often doctors apply algorithms instead of seeing that each patient is their own story and needs to be seen and heard as such,
What we tolerate in silence becomes the system we live under.
Trump should’ve NEVER been allowed to run for President after January 6. We didn’t stop this from happening when we could’ve and should’ve.

That's an important point, Merry.
Thanks. I simply will never, for the life of me, understand how any man with a mother, a sister, female friends and colleagues and/or daughters, or any self-respecting woman could possibly vote for the perverse sexual predator who’s occupying our WH!
In close to 60 years, I had never heard my aunt curse. Not once. Then Trump '24 happened, and that changed.
MLT, that was excellent. Thank you.

Sadly, EL, there are too many of ‘us older women’ (apparently not you and me) who voted for this administration.
