Good afternoon Mary, you might be interested in this note today in Der Spiegel on the Trump circus:

"In the United States, the erosion of democratic norms is unfolding in full view of the world. Qualifications, experience, expertise – who cares!? The incompetence of the current team running Washington is impossible to miss. President Donald Trump, ‘war minister’ Pete Hegseth, Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., FBI Director Kash Patel, foreign-policy special envoy Steve Witkoff, Elon Musk’s ‘DOGE’ crew – which last year was supposed to aggressively slash government agencies despite lacking any real subject-matter knowledge. The list could go on. Despite serious doubts about their qualifications, though, Congress waved most of the candidates for top government posts through, showing just how firmly Trump has the Republican majority in Congress under his control.”

“It’s becoming clear that the number of people in this administration who plainly don’t understand their jobs is breathtaking. Hardly a day goes by without unbelievable blunders spilling into the news from within the government apparatus. The war in the Gulf has thrown this into stark relief.”

What really pisses me off is that a DOGE contractor/employee was able to steal our Social Security information. I’ve heard nothing about this individual facing any legal consequence. Why? What good is our information to this individual? Did he sell it? Our information was confidential. Apparently it isn’t any longer.

Let’s simplify this. Filthy wealthy people are above the law and until that changes things are only gonna get worse and worse and worse.

When they say plausible allegiance the last words are liberty and justice for all. That’s a lie.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Pedo Piggy and the Muskrat that pretends to be God are both good examples. They’ve gotten away with way more than most.

Maddox Mache's avatar

Yeah. One of them should have offered to pay TSA.

Michael's avatar

That is a good reason to vote them out, not that you would need one anyway. This is the only way to rid them, vote them all out.

Hound's avatar

We don’t know how rigged the voting is going to be by Trump and his fellow Nazi Elon Musk.

Democrats had better get their asses out and vote. They need to start registering the ones who aren’t and they need to start showing up because if they don’t they can all go fuck themselves And if they don’t show up they should keep that makes them part of the problem

Skitealwedrop's avatar

There’s a reason that pedo piggy bitches about rigged elections every fucking day. Musk is pro at rigging, stealing and manipulating data.

Michael's avatar

Why would the felon child want all the power for the voting? That alone should tell you how he plans on rigging the election. I am not to sure how old all the members here are, but cursing should not be posted in socials like this. There is no reason to curse at me, I am not here to argue.

You said it. What good is it?

Sandra's avatar

Is it true that Starlink (Elon Musk) tabulated votes in las presidential election?

Maddox Mache's avatar

Of course. I say demand an investigation of the last three presidential elections.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I’m sure they’ll find the election results were manipulated by Musk and his band of criminals.

Maddox Mache's avatar

Of course. I think we should investigate the last three. Why stop at one?

Laurent Bruning's avatar

Supporting you from the Netherlands, Europe. Because I know enough of your people personally to be perfectly good people.

Sara Butler's avatar

You’re exactly right with your post and the song is quite catchy. I’m sure you’ve heard the song that Bruce Springsteen wrote right after Alex Pretti. Minneapolis I think.

I can’t go out to march, I’m in a small town and have literally no money or gas and I have multiple sclerosis and it’s been kinda rough lately with maybe the weather changes, maybe it’s stress, maybe it’s just life playing tricks on me. Whatever it is I’m definitely there in spirit.

Claudia Kinsley's avatar

Hugs for you, Sara! Where your heart is matters more than where your feet are.

I'm another one who was there only in spirit.

Knowing you are with us in spirit is SO VALUABLE. Just keep believing in what is good and right.

Sara Butler's avatar

I’m always holding the light and hope for everyone who needs it. I’ll keep doing it until it’s not necessary anymore. I’m in it for the long haul.

Sharon Bouchard's avatar

Do you ever watch Parkrose Permaculture over on YouTube? She just did a two part piece on Pajama Pants resistance, and it's all about things those of us can maybe do if we have physical limitations.

Sara Butler's avatar

I haven’t heard of her until now I’ll check her out. Thank!

Maddox Mache's avatar

Well the MS means you aren't virtue signaling.

Sharon Bouchard's avatar

The husband and I can't walk today, bc old people stuff, but we will be able to drive and honk in support. I can tell you from participating early on that it really matters to the marchers if this is all you are able do.

Sky Blue's avatar

Fantastic idea, Sharon!!

Very very much appreciated!!

Only if we band together in SERIOUS NUMBERS!!

Empowerment, joy, conviction. You are a catalyst for the nation. We’re on your side. ❤️🇬🇧

Laurent Bruning's avatar

I wish all these people could go to Washington together, that would make a mark. But I understand that's easier said than done.

Sharon Bouchard's avatar

That's where other nations don't get how resistance always looks different here. It's the geography. We can't just go to the Capitol and protest in gigantic numbers. Who has time and money to get there to do that, and where are millions of us gonna find a place to stay? It's a logistics problem.

Trump and family must be investigated and if appropriate- return all money made from Trump’s time in office. He’s a grifter, ripping off the people, tearing down democracy, ruining the economy and destroying the health insurance access. Not to mention using ice as his armed militia against US citizens and non citizens, an illegal war in Iran, blocking the Epstein files to protect himself. Covering up ICE agents killing Americans, selecting incompetent cabinet members. He doesn’t even seem able to read. His health is much worse than we’re told.

His mental decline alone is severe enough that he must step down from the presidency now.

Some of his ideas are solid ones however, the planning implementation and follow

is absent or managed by incompetent officials.

The rose garden, the garden for Jackie Kennedy, the East wing, the Kennedy center- he’s ruined. Having the east wing torn down at night is a clear example of his evil, self importance. The “ballroom” is a Trump- look at me! I’m the game show host in the White House.

Release the Epstein files. Stop ICE militia. Clean up and humanize the immigrant “concentration “ camps! Get out of Iran. You’re killing Americans.

The tacky “gold” is cheap, insults the American people and is so much nonsense and waste of money.

Trump and family must be criminally charged and punished accordingly, with facts.

Charlotte Thompson's avatar

Well said, I agree 100%.

Debi's avatar

Precisely! They are stealing from us to line their pockets - NOT ACCEPTABLE - EVER!

Maddox Mache's avatar

Now I like that idea. However, let's not cherry pick. Let's do the last three administrations and investigate the elections too. I bet trump cheated!

Don't Call Me Granny's avatar

Keep it up. Canada sees you.

Sharon Bouchard's avatar

We remember our friendship too. I have a Canadian flag in my yard for reasons. 🇨🇦

Don't Call Me Granny's avatar

Thank you for that. Sadly, you won't see many US flags here anymore.

Sharon Bouchard's avatar

There's not much reason to fly an American flag in Canada at a time when our government can't even be decent for half a second. Once we flush these fools down the toilet maybe we can get back to normal. I sure hope so.

Mimi Iannillo's avatar

Loved it. The percussion has the beat of Celtic music. I’m disabled without a car. I so want to physically be at the big rally but can’t even walk far. I do however, protest through my writing.

This government has to go! All are useless piles of worthless flesh! They broke oaths that may have never been sincere. It’s on We the People to destroy the evil of this administration. Not with violence but by these huge marches. I stand with Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, and all of our great Representatives, Senators, blue people in Congress, strongly protesting against the filth that is this administration! May God stand with those still fighting for freedom!

It should be No Tyrants. No Kings just flatters his narcissism.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

True. No FELONS Day would really piss the conman off. 😊

Maddox Mache's avatar

Narcassists make it their mission to publicly go after people they feel have wronged them. It's not normal to do to family members. It's a sign of a toxic person.

Don 2.0's avatar

What about Trump ISN'T toxic? He's a walking, talking cesspool.

Maddox Mache's avatar

Is it? Have you noticed that Mary never responds to any comments on her social media? She never reads any of it.

I digress. I find it interesting how people will say the most unkind things and then when a person reacts and dishes it back, they play victim.

Mary is an example, however, he's said very little in response. I have searched high and low for his comments about Mary. She has dedicated her time to publicly smearing a family member and trying to destroy him. This is behavior of a cluster B individual who has experienced what they perceive is a wound.

His responses have been to say what she is doing is disgraceful and that she was never exactly his favorite. That's it.

A narcassist would do exactly what she is doing in response. They would dedicate their time as she is to trying to hurt who they feel has wronged them. He isn't doing that. She is.

In fact what little he has said it's clear that he's trying not to say very unkind things that may hurt her. Odd behavior for a narcissist. Wouldn't you say?

Mary has publicly bragged about members of the Democrat party, and media approaching her for dirt on Trump to "take him down" starting during his first campaign. She said she didn't remember the files she had in storage until his second campaign. If you aren't paying attention this is called conspiracy.

Furthermore, if he is such a bad guy, why did she have to look so hard for "dirt". After all that searching high and low all that could be found was one payment that they counted 34 times as fraud, because it was a settlement agreement prior to the election.

To be clear, the fact that she was threatening to go public while he was running for office is called extortion and you guys applauded it. This is another example of virtue signaling.

You applauded again when Carroll extorted him as well. Let's be clear about what went on. Carroll smeared him to sell a book along with some other men. He want the only one she made claims against.

When he responded he was found liable in a civil suit because she lost income due to him challenging her narrative.

Shall we look at the evidence? There was no DNA evidence. Trump offered his DNA and the judge said there was none. A law was created to bypass the statute of limitations to file the suit. It had happened over 30 years ago. This is a prime example of why statute of limitations exist.

Carroll did know what year month or day this event occurred. This means that Trump was not given a fair trial. That's why they went after him civiially. In order to go after him in criminal court the accused must be given the opportunity to account for their whereabouts on the day in question. He was not given that. There were no wittnesses that saw them together that day. There is no CCTV footage to back up her claim.

Let's look at what she said happened. He asked her to try on lingerie for him. What could go wrong there?

In the dressing room he kissed her. She pushed him away giggling. He kissed her again. She didn't say no. She didn't say stop. She giggled. He digitally penetrated her. That's according to her.

Then he left. She then had to do the walk of shame and proceeded to call it rape.

What about grab em by the pussy? He said women throw themselves at very wealthy men to the point you could grab em by the pussy. No lies. It's true. While it might offend you, it's still true.

Don 2.0's avatar

God damn Donald Trump doesn't answer his niece because she's right, he's wrong, and he can't afford to confront her and he knows it. Trump made up "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to disparage his critics who, however, are free of it. Instead he and his supporters reek of it. As the original Dear Abby used to say, "Wake up and smell the coffee."

Maddox Mache's avatar

I'm not a Trump supporter. That's your first mistake.

Helena Sasso's avatar

Honestly where I live in an all white area of CT and very small town I don’t feel safe outside nevermind at a protest especially as an Original Native inhabitant to these lands….its extremely unsafe for us (my young daughter and I) and has for a long time as we have been saying the same thing for 500 yrs to a deafening silence of the Euro-settlers bringing their dysfunctions over from across the waters from the British Empire only to bring it here and replicate it all!

Sky Blue's avatar

I am sorry, Helena...

But your energy and love for your family moves us ALL forward!

Thank you!

Maddox Mache's avatar

Wow. You said that with your whole chest. Mind blowing. That's called racism. You are the racist.

Don 2.0's avatar

Heather, Helena is not racist for calling out the last five hundred years or so of colonialism.

Helena Sasso's avatar

I’m simply calling our truth & level of oppression as dark skin Native peoples on this continent

Maddox Mache's avatar

I often say I'm polka dot. Race isn't a real thing. Everyone in my family has dark skin, black hair, brown eyes. Everyone except for me. This is because my family isn't white. Then I come along with white hair, striking blue eyes, and very fair skin. I spent my entire life not fitting over an anomaly. News flash. Indian woman can give birth to white children and so can black women. However, white women can't get give birth to a black child, or Indian. Not unless the father is black or Indian. You getting what I'm laying down? For all your claims of the evil white people, they could not exist without you. A woman of color gave birth to white people. That's a fact. It still happens. I'm an example. I know a black woman who has a child that was born looking like me and her father is black. So, this is a very small minded view to group people this way.

You are welcome to feel or believe what you want but I'm telling you, the days of treating white people like this and expecting permanent guilt and moral debt are coming to an end. It's time to move forward. The white liberals might placate you for your vote, but they are playing to you. They are lying and it's called virtue signaling. They are using you. Have a good day.

Helena Sasso's avatar

What you wrote is all very trivial and simply rhetoric and there is no sense of understanding on your part at all of our lived experience for the past 500 yrs since the Doctrine of Christian Discovery arrived on our shores, therefore, will NOT be continuing this thread!

Maddox Mache's avatar

How very cluster b of you. You didn't experience it. If you want what someone else has, either earn it, or declare war and take it. Otherwise, the constant victim act is getting you no where.

Don 2.0's avatar

Heather, Helena is not racist for calling out the last five hundred years or so of colonialism.

Helena Sasso's avatar

Thank you 🙏🏽 for your understanding and solidarity!

Maddox Mache's avatar

Don, you may be accustomed to getting away with being manipulative with otherv people but I'm not the one. She is speaking of present day and labels a group of people as dysfunctional and unsafe. The elephant in the room is white people.

What you are doing is called virtue signaling. It tends to be a common theme among the left.

Furthermore, understanding history doesn't equate to permanent guilt and moral debt. You are enabling toxic behavior to glorify yourself as a good person. Stop it.

Incidently, my mother has half Navajo. We steer clear of these types of men and women in our tribe. They cause drama, and always play the victim. They are very racist. They are very unkind to "half breeds" such as my mother. You encouraging abusive behavior.

Lastly, the white side of my family didn't colonize. They conquered. If native Americans want it all back, they will have to declare war as is the custom and come and take it. We aren't playing weak minded games.

Don 2.0's avatar

Heather, you apparently believe you know me. You don't.
