A disastrous Friday, you say? I love that for him lol

Mia's avatar

Il love it for him as well, the disaster is for the American People!

Mike Hammer's avatar

He’s building a new bunker for a reason. I’m sure he’s terrified as he is unhinged following Tuesday’s smack down.

Betty Wilusz's avatar

Yes lock Him up ! lock them all up lock them up!

Anthony Lamb's avatar

It's called the Epstein Ballroom !

Barb Willison's avatar

I wish he’d be gone before midterms.

Sandra's avatar

Yeah, I think he knows the writings on the wall. But if his dementia progresses it may not matter.

Martha Vance's avatar

Exactly what I've been thinking. He is building himself a hiding place with no intentions of leaving .

Gloria C.'s avatar

I agree with you100%. I think that's the main reason why he tore down the East wing.Because we know he's renovating the bunker

Well, but maybe he won’t want to leave the bunker; but wouldn’t he miss his lavish meals, beautiful women dancing in wineglasses, his champagne parties with his billionaire friends, if he were actually LOCKED INSIDE FROM THE OUTSIDE!! It would no longer be his choice to leave. The big Fuck!

Of course, he will have his sycophants with him. After awhile, well, do I dare say “Lord of the Flies” comes to mind.

Martha Vance's avatar

I think maybe some of the rich donors have bought their way in with him in case of maybe a war ?

Roberta Houle's avatar

We could only hope lol. Get them all in there and lock them up!

Martha Vance's avatar

There's already a huge bunker underneath where he is building the huge ballroom . It's already equipped with everything, movie theater, medical ,over 130 rooms , etc.

Where is all the tariff money?

GingerLee's avatar

I guess Project 2025, Federalists & Heritage Foundation really do not understand what it means to have a democracy and a constitution... what is their end game with this rapid destruction of our country... there's at most only 400 oligarchs and possibly not all are willing to loose their power and money on a one trick pony.....

They understand it just fine, but they’re all tethered to the Koch brothers Nazi agenda that’s been fomenting since the late 70’s and was strong by the time Reagan got elected in 1980, and they got to him and launched their war on public education and many other issues, and haven’t missed a beat since. Then they went in the backdoors of every statehouse in the land peddling their canned legislation to destroy unions, Right to Work(as a slave), and all the other disastrous bills they introduced that helped get R’s in so many legislatures and governors offices. Then they bought up as much media as possible, got on the boards of important media and corporations to further their agenda. Trump was their foil, and they liked his love of Putin, and so they knew they could push him into office with all the lies and trumped up BS (pun intended) he spews. Both brothers are traitors, and when David Koch died, Charles was hell bent for leather to make sure their Nazi agenda got implemented. They tried to white wash the internet and get rid of all the family history about their grandparents running one of Hitler’s concentration camps, when granny hand picked prisoners to be killed so she could make lamps, furniture, jewelry, and other things out of their skin to both sell and keep. Both grandparents died in prison following WWII. But their father, who grew up in the big house on the grounds, went to Russia, where Stalin welcomed him and set him up in the oil business and he and his wife immigrated to America to carry out their plan to make America a Nazi nation. Of the 3 sons they had only two were willing to carry out their parents plan, the 3rd brother (an artist, poet and writer) left the family and moved to NYC to get away from it all. THIS is why history is so important, and the truth really matters to prevent it from ever being repeated. We will get through this if all Americans wake up and unite. Together we’re unstoppable! Tuesday’s election results show that it is happening and will only get stronger by the day! E Pluribus Unum

Sarah. What a great summary. Thank you. I have known about the Koch brothers, and it’s interesting that they’re not mentioned often enough as the initiators of this current catastrophe. And I read a lot, subscribe to too many substacks, lol, both Canadian and American. It is interesting considering the Koch brothers do own most of the media. I appreciated the historical references of Nazi family and their involvement in camps as well. What vile people! 🇨🇦

Cindy Myers's avatar

Thanks for the info on the Koch nazi family .

Mia's avatar

Fantastic comment, thank you!!!

Carrie Paola's avatar

Awesome summary. I didn’t know about the Koch Brothers until I read Dark Money by Jane Mayer. What an incredible and eye opening book. A must read for all Americans.

Great stuff Sarah!!

Jax's avatar

He’s just the puppet. An expendable asset. They have been implementing this plan since they lost the civil war. They’re playing the long game while the rest of the government thought they were playing checkers!

Johnetta Johnson Nur's avatar

Yeah, what’s their end game⁉️ #conspiracywonderer & inquiring minds want to know⁉️ #avidexplorertpm 🔥💕🐉

Robin Brenner's avatar

The end game seems to be, IMO, destroying us. Every action they're taking, including trying to break and destroy Blue states (guess they don't approve of or want Blue states' 70% contribution to US GDB!), tells me the only end game is to destroy all that's good, successful - and profitable - and turn the country into one big autocratic Red state. But what will Red states do without Blue state federal taxes? I don't know!!!

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”Orwell, 1984. This is what the Fascists want. Never forget it.

Not killing us out of necessity,

just because they can!

Trump is responsible for the government shutdown and the state of our country and our economy

Smoky Mountains's avatar

Americans proved on Tuesday that Democrats aren’t the problem or the cause for this REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

Thank God for you guys and all the independent voices not afraid to speak,..

His worst week are getting worse!

Carol Gamm's avatar

Thank you for all of your hard work. You have helped to keep us going through these difficult times.

Barbara Counts's avatar

Hey ,what's the bunker for? He's afraid? Of what. His impeachment coming up. Forcing him out right after midterms.

uRNangel423's avatar

The bunker is for his starting the next WW! He and his cabinet will next a place to hide. That’s why he subtly suggested to start nuclear testing again, and since that was said, Russia & China along with the other nations with capabilities will start testing again also. It’s all part of the plan.

Renegade Crone's avatar

To hide. After he starts some major, as in violence, shit.

The republicans just approved a $178B budget for DHS in September. Take some -or all- of those dollars and do something constructive with them like pay for SNAP and ACA subsidies.

Janet Wilson's avatar

Those face gaiters must cost a fortune...

Roslyn Trotter-Harmon's avatar

I am so tired of the lies, deceit, hypocrisy.

Erika Fultz's avatar

Perhaps he'd be able to stay awake if he weren't up at 3am, rage tweeting.

JP MEYER's avatar

They freaking live in an alternate universe than the rest of us. I have to wonder what psychologically allows them to be such stupendous and outrageous liars.?!

Sophia A's avatar

It's a con for money 💰

Cindy Dore's avatar

What kills me is that they are the party for no abortion and yet they will not care for children after birth, be it healthcare or food, or day care. They are so horrible.
