You might like my new book - “The Nice Formula - How to Save the Human Race from Itself and from Artificial Intelligence”.

It explores what currently threatens our future—and, more importantly, what we can actually do about it.

I don’t know why, but seeing quotes from "Moron à l’Orange" in print, seems even worse to me than hearing them. He thinks of himself as a genius, and I would agree if the word “genius” is defined as “a raving, incoherent idiot”.

Donald's ego is like a pus-filled cyst on the face of America: Massive, ugly and infected.

You just can't look away.

He's so surrounded by his bacterial sycophants that he doesn't realize the elections have just lanced it.

Over time, this infection will drain away, and the country will heal.

Maybe it will even become America the Beautiful again.

But the fact he was here will always leave a scar.

Great last line!

LOL! My sentiments exactly. Pretending he was on the ballot gave him a resounding defeat. Don't you just love it?

Mary Trump is a national treasure!

Regarding Thomas Markle, Kash Patel says the FBI would "use every single resource at our disposal to protect innocent kids – any predator who targets children will have zero safe haven in this country or anywhere they try to hide".

Maybe he should apply the same enthusiasm for the men in the Epstein files?

When it comes to the FBI, I've assumed all my life that JEdgar Hoover was the worst possible FBI director. I am now questioning that assumption. As Malvina Reynolds sang decades ago, "There's a low below the low you know."

Thank you, Mary, for your excellent observations and reporting on your mad uncle Donald. I would like to refer you to the old reporting from Greg O'Lear, which you might not have seen.

#Trump is and has always been a #Mobster, owned by NYC Mafia, Israel, Moscow and Saudi for many years, by the FBI & CIA as well.

He WAS a #MOB stool pigeon informant TO DA #Giuliani in NY the late 1980s. That's how they first met!

Thank you, Mary. You are so very witty and I can always count on you eliciting a lovely belly laugh from me. 🙏👊

Steven Miller is Trump's alchemy of Hatred and White Supremacy as vindictive punishment for the Electorate's misbehavior during the Midterms.

The punishment will continue until Trump and his family and his businessess and his Associates and any or all of his Affiliates (various and sundry) are granted infinite past present and future impunity and immunity forever and ever and on into perpetuity, or eternity, whichever comes first.

Is Trump perhaps elevating Stephen Miller to take the fall for his cataclysmic decline? So many Nazis and Nazi sympathizers blamed Göbbels and Göring (and Eva Braun?), etc., for Hitler's fall. I don't believe that Trump is that clever, or that Miller is that stupid, but these are very strange times so I'm wondering . . .

You are correct, I’m afraid, that the Dracular* Stephen Miller, is still in a position of power, that we need to fear. (*I just now invented the adjective “dracular”, but I think it fits, right?)

I still remember back in I believe it was 2016 when your uncle ran for office the the first time around. I decided to get involved with the opening of ballots because it was a BIG General Election. It might have even been in 2020 election during Covid anyway, many of the ballots I opened back then had his name on the ballot and many of them vote for him and nobody else down the ballot. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. Next came 2024 our past Big General Election between him and Kamala Harris. He told all of his followers that they would never have to vote for him again. Maybe just maybe they got tired of promises made and promises not kept. No matter how you look at it he wasn't on the ballot this time and for many of them since he was the only one they would vote for if he was and no one else in the down ballot they didn't feel the need to exercise their right to vote. And that was yet another reason why many of them just decided to stay home. But I'm glad the Democrats didn't and it taught a lesson to us all. If you want change the best way to do that is to vote like you life depends on it because We the people of the USA, when we speak and VOTE can truly make one heck of a big difference!

This is a fascinating insight into a significant segment of the U.S. electorate. It seems they either know nothing or don't care about down-ballot races -- even though the winners of those state and local races are likely to have a stronger influence on their lives than whoever gets elected president. OMG, we have so much work to do to pull our aspiring democracy back from the brink!

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. The guy behind January 6th isn’t going to let this “betrayal” go, he probably isn’t able to conceptualize “let it go”. And giving another psychopath like Miller more access and power? It’s going to be bad……if it’s allowed to get bad.

I don’t know where all the sleeping Republicans had their heads shoved but it’s time to pull them out, wash them off and just shutup so the ELECTED officials can do what the Republicans refused to do, all in the quest for power.

It’s been like watching a movie and waiting for the good guys to show up and banish the bad guys. We never saw what happened after the credits rolled…..the credits are rolling, please show the world that the US still has a backbone and does understand what truth and justice are.

(Start building a little cell, spray paint it gold, put in a fur lined pee pot and monogram the door with DJT. Saves time, right?)

"Pretend I’m on the ballot." Sounds a lot like "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!" Thank you Will.

Thanks Mary! You just crack me up. I just hope with our huge blue wave, that Dem leadership will focus on affordability AND accountability; without the latter, the Republican criminals will just break the law again. There must be JUSTICE!

Amazing, or maybe not amazing, how cult members never stop climbing a hill they’ve already died on.
