Is there anyone he's not fighting with? Apparently it's more than an act. It's his nature. He's going to be one tired, sick, lonely old man. The sooner the better for our nation.

He already is a tired, sick, lonely old man, attended to by people he pays to tend to him, and clinging to the mannerisms that worked when he was young and brash. But they aren't working anymore, and the signs of his physical and mental degeneration are being managed by people he also pays. One has to ask what they all get out of propping him up. For some, I suppose, a distorted sense of fidelity, but others surely see some kind of future reward. Or perhaps they simply are following a script they can't see beyond.

I keep thinking of Shakespeare's plays, set in his past but telling a story of his own time, It is as if we are seeing the plays about our time as they play out. I grasped the meaning of Shakespeare's plays, and saw them so many times I could anticipate the endings. Not knowing the ending of what we are going through is killing me. Just when I think I kind of see a glimmer... off he goes again. I hope so much for the kind of ending in which the protagonist is carried away in chains, raving mad, his entourage tears itself apart with infighting, and, as the curtain begins to fall, we see a group of people, once at the fringes of action, come onstage talking passionately about recovering democracy.

Yeah, actually, I think something along those lines could happen. I think it is actually starting to take shape, and we are the ones getting ready to enter the stage. Millions of us, beginning Saturday, carrying our signs.

You've covered some of the motives behind the actions of Trumpkopf's acolytes. Then there are the cases of Russel Vought and Stephen Miller, who are propping up TrumPox merely as a tool to enact their own agenda. Evil people all of them.

It's a great reminder of the imperative that we continue to Rise! Resist! ✊✊✊

The next nationwide rally is this Saturday, June 14, yes >that< June 14, be there or be square!

Let's ruin Chump's B'day. We need 3.5% or the population, or around 12,000,000 people to be present. So bring all your friends and families. Spread the word as far and wide as possible. Let's all get out there with a Howard Beale spirit and yell "We're as mad as hell, and we're not gonna take it anymore!".

P.S. Stay the hell away from D.C.! Don't give him an excuse to declare martial law!

There was a de-brief of the 6/14 march that said 1.75 percent of the population marched. We are halfway there. But we need to keep calling senators, phonebanking in other actions, sending money to Dems, and protesting. The main thing is to not lose faith. My 40 year old daughter says that her 20-24 year old team members at work are freaked out about our current government. I tell her to encourage them to do these things, and to VOTE! Being scared about the present is the current state of this young generation. I feel so sorry for them, but we went through Vietnam,Watergate, Iran-Contra, George W bush, Weapons of Mass Delusion, and all of the other lies and deceptions and thefts of our tax dollars. We have to give the kids the strength to get on with the fight.

Let's get real. Trumps biggest donors are owners of media conglomerates. Their marching orders are to use their power to distract, misinform and mislead. Yes Biden was frail -- he probably had the life sucked out of him -- and FDR was in a wheelchair Americans never saw, and he likely had cancer in his last year; and JFK was hooked on cortisones and amphetamines. The self-important media thinks they manage the public's right to know. But only one President launched, celebrated and pardoned a civil insurrection against the government he had been elected to lead. The media has failed all of us by executing a blatant coverup and campaign of distraction to service their benefactor Trump. Jake Tapper, unlike Terry Moran, reaps the rewards of this corrupt system by being protective of the powerful.

If the “people [Biden] paid to take care of him were running the show, at least they were competent to do so. Unlike Trump, Biden didn’t live in opposite land, where Trump continues to appoint the least qualified, least experienced, and if possible, the most devoted to destroying their own department or agency.

Biden was old, frail, and tired more easily, and earlier. But he didn’t say embarrassing things to leaders of foreign countries who were our allies. He could string together entire paragraphs of substance. Not in that one debate, but never was he a raving lunatic bent on destroying the country. Biden didn’t dance to the tune of Vladimir Putin, or other dictators, or to the tune of the Heritage Foundation, and the other religious nut job power clubs. (Ironic, isn’t it? For a man with no affiliation to an organized religion, no understanding of the scriptures or mission of the religion he was raised in, and more recently, claimed to care about- at least enough to pay them back for their electoral support.)

No, Biden was far, far more competent, even as he aged, than Trump ever was. Of course, Biden went to college (even to the classes), and actually *graduated.* Ditto with law school. He can read, and did/does. No surprise that Biden was smarter and more qualified to be president.

Get real! Biden did more for the American citizen than anyone before him. He fast tracked vaccinations for Covid, brought inflation down, put more people back to work and had the best recovering economy in the world. If djt had not told Mike Johnson to kill the immigration bill, he would have that under his belt also. I don’t care if he was a propped up old man at least he had competent people propping him up!

I'm watching a counter-protester at a No Kings rally. She's carrying a large Trump banner when Hegseth has said that women shouldn't be allowed to serve in the military even if they're qualified. She's calling protesters stupid and fascists. Like good little Nazis, these MAGAs can't see what's happening. Meanwhile, Mike Fanone is walking around like the hero that he is.

False equivalence? Ageism on top. Seriously flawed attempt to same wash two very different aging leaders. Let’s look at their goals ffs. Greed is just not ever going to be good.

The emperor could not be more naked….his ego is so openly and comprehensively toxic that the lesson should be clear. This leader will do nothing for anyone but himself.

THE FINAL SOLUTION

- [ ] Step one for Hitler was to discredit and control the media.

- [ ] Step two was to silence scientists and government employees.• Hate crimes against minorities grew to the highest in their country’s history. Clashes between parties became so extensive that Hitler ended civil liberties

- [ ] (Step three), giving “law and order” as the cause. Those who opposed Hitler were ridiculed and threatened.

- [ ] In Step Four wealthy supporters purchased media outlets, employing only those faithful to the ruling party.

- [ ] In his final step (Step Five) Hitler declared that the only way the country could be unified was to restore "traditional" values. Minorities including gays, the disabled, Jews, Roma, and people of color were considered “inferior” and sent to death camps for slaughter.

No one listened when the ambassador sounded the alarm. This is written by an American Ambassador in Hitler's Berlin 1933-37.

If anyone feels confused by how so many people could go along with "Hitler's Final Solution", this is exactly how it happened.

In America, under the direction of a deranged occupant of the people's house, we are between Step 3-5...
