In a shocking turn, the New York Times published an opinion piece under the headline: “Is There a Smart Way to Cede Power to Donald Trump?” Let me repeat that.
The bastard has no bottom. It will take centuries for America to live this down, if there still is an America, and not just a gigantic smoking hole in the ground.
How in the world are we taking seriously a person who is this sick? He is absolutely the sickest person I have ever seen. Can Americans not tell the difference between sickness and health? Because if they can't, *they* need serious intervention.
I’m with you, Paula! We are being punched in the face every day. The degradation of our nation is shocking. All of this chaos from the likes of a lunatic!
Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell have become a liability now to the billionaires who are really running this country. I wouldn't be surprised if both get Epsteined.
how very like a black kettle calling other kettles black
he needs to be out of power and in a cell - have his hair shaved off and given a knee length ORANGE tunic with 24/7 cc for the whole world to tune into - with of course a sewer drain and hose he can be hosed off with and a healthy diet of bread and water
Your country needs, needs, needs universal healthcare, it would help so much to have people get the medical care they need without fear of bankruptcy, it is sooo harsh to imagine being afraid of the cost of healthcare versus getting help, it is NOT socialism, it is societal well being and prevents people from falling prey to cults that offer an exploiting sense of security.
The legacy media and newspapers are trying to influence the public to accept fascism as a normal life for Americans. We aren't falling for the bullshit no matter how Trump tried to rebrand himself. He has released a child trafficker.
We all knew the felon would do it to cover his diapered ass. He is doing what his pals putin and Kim Jong Un would do to stay in power. He is trying to redistrict some states to rig the elections in his favor, like putin did.
I was responding to Wendy Arnold saying " he has released a child trafficker " meaning Ghislaine .. I thought maybe I'd missed something!!!
Sooo happy to see the CEO of that prison program for servicedog training to publicly announce that Maxwell will NOT be participating in that program as they do not place puppies with abusers!!!
No puppy for you bitch!! Does not deserve that love 😸
When I looked up the camp it said that it is not even fenced in and they have had inmates just walk off before, so , yeah, in a way he might have put her somewhere she could go awol pretty easily. I think she is a liability to him tho and we will learn of some dreadful accident or ?? in the near future. Or maybe he's going to help her out of the country and pay for facial reconstruction and her silence. But how do you trust her really?
Couldn't she sell her story and double cross him? So nah.
She's prob a goner... meanwhile Ghislaine will prob snuggle up to that young woman doing time in that camp for selling that fake medical app,or device was it ? White collar criminals in there.
And sadly, none of the victims of Epstein / Maxwell /orange guy will ever see justice til we get back in power.
I agree. It's like a kick in the stomach to see what Trump did for their abuser. Thank goodness the puppy trainer is protecting the puppies. I'm very sad for all who have been hurt by Trump.
“It’s not clear to me that the colleges have done something wrong by agreeing to cede power to a man who was so vile, so traitorous, so un-American, so anti-American, so unfit, so corrupt, so incompetent, so unhinged, so wrong, so grotesque…”"
I agree with that characterization of trump, but Leonhardt didn't say any of that.
The point is that Mary Trump misrepresents the entire article in her quest to paint Donald as the fascist dictator that he no doubt is. With that being said, though, we gain nothing by stooping t his level and spreading slander and lies in the same way he does.
The article Mary refers to is actually a very complex and thoughtful discussion about the position that Harvard, Brown, Columbia, and others find themselves in due to the current administration's efforts to control their curricula. The point is made that, when faced with the withholding of massive amounts of federal research aids and grants, these institutions are now forced to make a terrible choice between the long-term and the short-term: Do they agree to sacrifice some of their independence in order to regain federal funding, or do they decide to do without the federal funding and maintain their independence? Either way, enormous damage is likely to be done. Also on their minds is, how trustworthy of Trump? If we make an agreement with him, will he honor it, or will he just come back at some point to extort more money from us? These are very real considerations, and I applaud the Times panel for discussing them at length.
At no point in the article does anyone suggest simply bowing to Trump, as Mary implies. They all realize that this is a terrible situation caused entirely by a terrible president who delights in breaking the law and trampling on the Constitution. The very real questions here, however, are about weighing the damage to the present and future of these institutions, the vital research they perform, and the current and future students they serve. It sounds to me like Mary read a headline she didn't like, found a couple of out-of-context pull quotes to rile up her audience, and called it a day. Very disappointing from someone we all know can do better. Yes, let's call out the Emperor for having no close, but let's not lie and deceive to do so.
If the institutions can afford to survive without uS Govt $ then the correct thing is to stand up against tyranny. The ones who can't ??? reassess after the midterm& 2028.??
They are in a tough position.
We are in a tough position.
On top of this is the fact that the gop has changed student loan funding. So really only wealthy students will be able to get a secondary education.
The many many harms he is doing to us as a nation make me sick especially since they all pretend to be Christian . The ballroom plans are one thing, but to be sure there's construction going on in hell making room for this batch who def will need their own "special place in hell"
"The point is that Mary Trump misrepresents the entire article in her quest to paint Donald as the fascist dictator that he no doubt is" does she misrepresent it??? I guess I will have to get copy of it
I have only seen excerpts. Does she need to paint him? He paints himself!!
I am just glad she is part of the community. I cannot truly know how it must be to be related to Hitler 2.0 so I'm not going to rip her apart for her efforts to connect with us day after day after day.
I didn't miss the point of the article, but I might have missed the point of why Mary Trump says that Leonhardt says things he didn't say. Maybe it was meant to be satire but if so, I don't get it, even after repeated readings. (I also don't get why you feel the need to be snarky.) And it felt very misleading to me (I actually went and listened to the podcast precisely because she seemed to be literally reporting what had been said). The right generates enough fake news for both sides; we don't need to do it too.
My quote was from the transcript. I later went and listened to the video, and she didn't say "He continues:", which completely changes the context. So the transcript is wrong (and problematic), and somebody (Mary Trump, presumably) should fix it.
Her entire take on the article she criticizes is misleading and deceptive.
We criticize the Right - and rightly so - for believing everything they're told without critical thought. We can't allow ourselves to do the same thing. Read the article for yourselves and see if you agree with Mary's analysis.
Everything Trump says is a lie. Just turn his statement around and you get the truth of what he says. He said on the news today that those 5 seats in Texas belong to him because he won the votes in the last election. So he has a right to have those 5 votes.
The bastard has no bottom. It will take centuries for America to live this down, if there still is an America, and not just a gigantic smoking hole in the ground.
He's got a fat bottom
Fat head too!
BOT
Fat Bottom Boy instead of Fat Bottom Girls

It's a coup, so his status is just a maga figurehead
Agree it is a coup. In my lightly populated corner of NE California, I belong to a group entitled Stop the Coup.
If that's the best figurehead they can come up with, I pity them.
Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell have become a liability now to the billionaires who are really running this country. I wouldn't be surprised if both get Epsteined.
Except Don't pity Evil !!!
I was trying to keep it civil. I actually meant a lot more than I said. 😀
Thank you, Ms Trump! I've been following your comments for some time now and every one of your posts has been spot on! Keep it up! Resist!
how very like a black kettle calling other kettles black

Wow Mary: You continue to be the spokesperson for sooo many of us…having been close you see and speak it first!! Thanks…
Thank you again, Mary. I appreciate that you're putting yourself in danger from him and that you remain standing strong. I take your words to heart.
Your country needs, needs, needs universal healthcare, it would help so much to have people get the medical care they need without fear of bankruptcy, it is sooo harsh to imagine being afraid of the cost of healthcare versus getting help, it is NOT socialism, it is societal well being and prevents people from falling prey to cults that offer an exploiting sense of security.

Wait, she is free now or just minimum security ??
She should watch her back
Maxwell was recently transferred from a federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas
Illegally….
We all knew the felon would do it to cover his diapered ass. He is doing what his pals putin and Kim Jong Un would do to stay in power. He is trying to redistrict some states to rig the elections in his favor, like putin did.
Yes,No one will say who got the special exception for a sex perv trafficker to be transferred to a white collar spa puppy camp !!!
Everything this bullshit regime does is pathological and illegal.
Once again we are the laughing stock of the planet, except no one laughing as this guy has the nuclear football...⚛️

Just like Rush Limbaugh getting the metal of honor
he got cancer too

karma baby

I just assumed she messed up some punctuation and never meant it as a direct quote. I’m kinda surprised by the reactions.
People are so on edge these days and who can blame us?

‘Maybe it was meant to be satire but if so, I don't get it‘.
Yes, it was meant to be satire.
My snarkiness was not appropriate for you and I apologize. It was mean and unnecessary.
We are not heading toward a Dictatorship. We are there ,now.
That's what I thought of when I saw them giving Trump those medals. Did they know that Trump folded a medal up and stuck it in his suit jacket?
Mary, you are amazing. I am 80 and no money for paid subscription but please keep safe. We need you to keep telling the truth.
We do
Everything Trump says is a lie. Just turn his statement around and you get the truth of what he says. He said on the news today that those 5 seats in Texas belong to him because he won the votes in the last election. So he has a right to have those 5 votes.
Trump will be hanged…but not soon enough
The various PR campaigns to clean up Trump are an embarrassment to America.
I pictured a litany of asswipers following him around but fear I'm mixing metaphors
Liars lie and then keeping on adding to the lie till the House of Cards collapse…
I liked FOTUS (Felon Of The US) but now I’m going to POTUS (Pedo Of The US).
A rose is a rose
