I love how you write. Despite how dreadful everything he does is, I soooooo enjoyed your telling of it here. Your language skills and reportage, psychology insights, family background and wonderful sense of humor help lead us to the terrible WHAT things he’s doing but in a more personal and entertaining way than the front news pages or TV reports. Breath of fresh air. Thank you!

I agree completely. Well said - by both of you.

Thank you, Bonnie. SO glad Mary’s doing her thing!

His promises are worthless as are his threats. The majority of Americans would gladly trash his ass in person with their bare hands and face the consequences gladly.

A person who can't really do anything and doesn't actually know anything should not be allowed in our Government.

It does get worse every day. They evidently spend lots of time thinking up ways to screw things up more. Donald thinks that it is all his and he can break it if he wants to.

We cannot let him continue.

A felon shouldn’t be allowed in our Government.

Well, good idea!! That would eliminate all GQP/MAGAT Cult gutless eunuchs, wouldn't it?

Mary, please share your Rx for sanity. You say it straight like it is. Painful to see so clearly. Bracing, however, to come up from diving into the pool, with the blue sky and clouds, ready to tackle reality.

Here it is: It's in Latin, a quote from Horace, one of the greatest of Roman poets: Magna est veritas, et praevalebit. It means: The truth is mighty and it will prevail. I believe in the truth, the absolute truth, the straight, no pussy-footing, no weaselly euphemisms, truth. The truth only hurts when it is supposed to. Other than that, it doesn't hurt at all.

Plus, I come from a long line of very direct women. I am more direct than my mother. I have a daughter who is even more direct than I am.

George Ferrick's avatar

Brava!!! I love and support very direct women! (Married to one)

Velovixen's avatar

My kind of women!

It’s kind of hard to see when you’re diving in a cesspool of muck and criminality.

George Ferrick's avatar

Indeed. So it seems. Trump and his minions are in the cesspool, and contaminating the waters. But we need these other bracing pools and reservoirs of fact. truth. courage and action.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Exactly! “Fact, truth, courage and action”. Well said, George!

George Ferrick's avatar

Onward!

Adelante!

Avanti!

It’s time for Congress to grow a pair.

BTW, this was posted on BlueSky...the real reason why Donald couldnt attend:

"Most Caribbean countries have restrictions on entry. Bahamas will only allow felons who have *completed* their sentences. A total of 38 countries will not allow felons to enter."

Jordan Plant's avatar

Good point,

Enough of the people in the United States of America sometimes forget that we are not the only Country in the world.

I did not vote for this, did you?

Gary Hanks's avatar

The incompetence is staggering.

Kari Boyd McBride's avatar

This is brilliant. Thank you.

Let’s tell the truth about Senator Foghorn Leghorn. He’s actually a graduate of Magdalen College, one of the most prestigious of the Oxford University colleges. He also attended Vanderbilt and the University of Virginia Law School. Don’t buy his act.

William Burke's avatar

Geez, I thought he was just a simple country law-yer.

I know that it is a performative act for Sen Kennedy; everyone in this regime are ghouls and should all be impeached.

Uncle Clusterbuck's avatar

"Fox State News" is actually TASS Americana News. Donald is a worthless soul that with it's sheer mass of blackness, should fire the pits of hell for eternity.

I had a Brother who was in and out of jail several times. He was a grifter too. I know how hard it is to deal with this when you are trying to do the right thing. Thank you for your courage in the face of the destruction of our Nation.

Our drugs have not decreased but instead doubled. In one example: If a drug goes from $45 for a 90 day supply to $145 that does not mean my cost has reduced. Seems the President and his regime do not understand the problem.

djw's avatar

Oh, yeah, you just don't understand the math! That's a 600% reduction for sure!

It’s difficult to laugh while we’re being screwed.

As you say Mary, ridicule is the best tonic - toxic to the narcissistic grifters and a delight during-these-times-of -darkness for the rest of us who need/deserve the succour.

“They are grifters, cowards, and opportunists hollowing out this country in real time, and they deserve to be treated exactly as they are.”

Roslyn Reid's avatar

Honestly, Mary, I almost peed myself reading this. Which I guess is better than tearing one's hair out.

BTW, backyard chickens are subject to zoning ordinances. Are they allowed in Rollins' neighborhood? Yeah right!

Richard's avatar

I agree with you 100%!

Gayle Peterson's avatar

Foghorn leghorn. One of my very favorite characters (not Kennedy, of course) but you made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the chuckle in a very dark time.

Linda Laz's avatar

Dang. I was hoping I had not heard of just ONE of them, but NO! I knew about every single one of them. I need to cut back on my news intake except for you, Mary.😳
