A Sunday bad news break for you, Brett:

By Mr.Wayne

I once drove Uber on the night shift. You meet all kinds. Drunks, lovers, tired nurses. At 2 AM, I picked up a guy from a hospital.

He got in the back, looking shell-shocked. Didn't say a word. We drove in silence for ten minutes. Then I heard a sniffle. I glanced in the rearview.

He was staring out the window, tears streaming down his face. "Rough night?" I asked quietly. "My wife," he choked out. "She just... the cancer. She's gone."

My heart stopped. I turned off the meter. "I'm not taking you home yet," I said. He looked up, confused. "What?" "You can't go to an empty house right now. Not yet."

I pulled into an all-night diner. "Come on. Coffee and pie. On me." He hesitated, then nodded. We sat in that booth for three hours. He told me about her laugh. How they met. How she hated peas. I just listened.

When I finally dropped him off at 6 AM, the sun was coming up. He shook my hand. "Thank you," he said. "For not making me be alone in the dark."

I didn't make a dime that night. But it was the most important drive of my life.

The 47th Presidency of the United States of America will go down in history as the Pedophile Presidency, including the entire administration, with the backing of the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) and the MAGAt 6 Supreme Court Justices!!! 💀

For sure if history is reported accurately and the people who want to rewrite history are out of government!

Jean Conley's avatar

"Guardians Of Pedophiles." LOVE IT! Perfect name for that party!

This althlete has worked for years to earn this right. No one could predict that we would have a corrupt, cruel and insatiable administration and president that have been trying to ruin the USA. So that said, anyone with any morals have the same feelings of embarrassment for our country.

You show compassion and God Blessed You for that

I hope Hess opens up a can of whoop-ass on Trump now that he has a BIG megaphone.

A true random act of kindness. I’m sure your cup was fuller than your pockets. You lessened that man’s grief when he needed support. Way to go. We need to hear stories like this when all we’ve been seeing is man’s injustice toward others.

Virginia Ruth Cheney's avatar

You are such a wonderful man❤️. I hope God pays it forward when you need kindness. Kindness is such a wonderful gift to give.

Jan Bartlett's avatar

Gif bless you every day for the rest of your life.❤️

I support and believe in our constitution. Our President and his administration should also. This is not right, we should not be living this.

Debra Pisciuneri's avatar

God bless you! You are truly a good person ❤️

C Giza's avatar

The wonderful thing about acts of kindness is that we don't always know where they will eventually land, but we can see them being passed on in other ways. You may have sent him on his way to a peaceful life. Or perhaps his family members/friends continued the "kindness spread" when they heard what had happened. Kindness builds peace and more good will, Hate decays and destroys.

My checks (Yes. I still occasionally write checks) are imprinted with the phrase "Practice random acts of kindness".

Thank you for getting and spreading the message!

Hunter doesn’t represent Plump or ICE, good for him. This is America, even pedophiles have the protection of the 5th. But if Ghislaine Maxwell implicates Plump she has no chance of a pardon. In MAGA world they’re preparing to steel midterms. If the democrats overcome voter suppression, MAGA MIke will refuse to swear in democrats and lose the speakership. Dr Oz is charlatan selling snake oil as a cure to cancer. That fact that he is used as a spokesperson for Medicare is disgusting.

D L May's avatar

Some men have courage to speak up- he has more courage than any MAGA legislators or SCOTUS MALE Justices. Nor even past President Bush.

Bush used 911 to create Homeland Security to strip us of our constitutional rights so he’s just as bad. And Amy Barrett just votes with the conservative judges likes she has no will of her own. Once Plump is gone we’re still going to have to the Supreme Court Mitch and Plump stuck us with. Hopefully I’ll still be alive to see it reformed in some way.

johnson can't refuse to seat elected officials in 2027. There is no speaker of the house until there is an election for one. The position doesn't carry over. If the Dems take back the house there will be an election of a new speaker. maga mike will be done.

MAGA Mike refused to swear in Aadelita Ggrivalda because he knew she was the final vote to release the Epstein files. What’s to stop him this time? Plump could declare martial law or issue an unconstitutional executive order. Plump doesn’t want to be impeached. That’s if we even have a fair election. What’s to keep him from deploying ICE at polling stations to arrest black and brown “illegals” to keep them from voting? What’s to keep MAGA Mike from claiming election fraud and refreshing to strip down? Neither of them is going to fairly give up their power. MAGA Mike and his holy Christian wife spend way beyond their means. Without the speaker bonus their children may have to go to public schools. She may have to work.

I think the consequences of her even looking like she might speak up are far worse than losing the chance of a pardon. It is possible she lives as long as her lips are tightly sealed. I wonder if she has any loved ones she might need to protect.

Jim siberry's avatar

She does…Trump . Her job is to protect Trump.I'm expecting a full pardon within days of her appearing before Congress.Especially if she pleads the 5th and refuses to implicate Trump.

Diane's avatar

I think her pardon must wait until after the midterm elections. If vote suppression succeeds in protecting the Republican control of Congress, then she will be pardoned. If the Dems win control of Congress, I think he might still pardon her in a temper tantrum of defiance. Or his tantrum over the continued prominence of the child trafficking and sexual abuse reports plus the election loss may result in him banishing her to real prison or worse. When he is feeling cornered &/or a loss of control, he lashes out in ways that defy logic.

Mary's avatar

If that happens, get ready to add it to the list of issues We the people will be protesting!!

Just another Hunter to demonize for Trump and his Stooges.

Mike Hammer's avatar

After what Trump just did with the Obamas do we need any further evidence that’s he’s the worst human being on the planet?

Camille Kelly's avatar

We don't, we use common sense and gray cells to think and reason, but MAGA's on the other hand...

Nancy Bainter's avatar

Don is such a weak, pathetic, selfish, and toxic piece of protoplasm. My suggestion for good health and fabulous humor: stay away from him and his blathering insanity; he’s imploding because of his own depravity with Epstein and Maxwell. Just enjoy the Olympics and the Super Bowl!

Try not to use Don’s last name for three days! It’s not hard and we all know who is in the WH and who is MAGA’s herald. Why give his family name breath?

Dementia donnie!!! No caps for his name, ever!!!

Nancy Bainter's avatar

P.S. Wild Bill, thanks — we called our wildly creative buddy since 1972 Wild Bill. He never disappointed! We said goodbye to him in September 2016 and I am constantly reminded of him as I go my own way. I had to shout out to you.

Thank you, Ben. The staggering coverup of the Epstein class in our country-- all the way to Trump-- is horrific, sickening and cannot be brushed aside. I'm grateful for you for working for accountability and justice.

Helen K Kreller's avatar

Trump is the most vile and truly evil person. Hope the Epstein files helps push him out of office for life!

The Nazi Republicans Should Not Be Allowed To Govern For At Least 10y

The current Nazi Republican political movement guided by Project 2025’s white supremacist agenda has shown who they are This Christian Nationalist movement that the Nazi Republicans has fully supported really started in the Reagan years and finally has evolved to show its true racist, homophobic, xenophobic, fraudulent, dishonest, anti social safety net and pro wealth So greed is the Nazi Republican policy, pure and simple, NOT governing Americans are showing that they are completely against money in politics and they’re voting against politicians and AIPAC’s who are pushing their dollars to buy elections

By polling the American electorate is overwhelmingly opposed to such a government power grab by the greedy wealthy, aka oligarchs, and the only thing left for the Nazi propaganda machine led by right wing media channels such as Fox is to throw as much money as they can to try to influence the electorate But over and over again this “bribery” will not work as Musk found out in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race

Cheeto and his Nazi Republican allies figured they could buy their way to dictatorship with the help of oligarches but WE the People have different ideas about resisting big money in politics

Ann Bowen's avatar

As to the Aipac issue, I just read an article that said they realize their toxicity, so are using shell pacs to put money into elections, e.g. Women for Chicago. We will have to encourage people to be aware of who takes pac $$ and who doesn't. If we could discourage this behavior among candidates, we could get elections back into the hands of individual voters.

It's a delicate balancing act for the athletes to say anything. Though I did not find anything he said disparaging - he was diplomatic about it and unjudgmental. But Trump is using his bully pulpit to ruin his chance for endorsements. If he wins he'll probably demand his medal because no one deserves it more than him because he skis so beautifully at Mar-a-Looting. People with tears in their eyes come up to him everyday, 'sir how do you ski so well'. /s What a moron.

So happy the athletes are speaking up about our seemingly endless battle with this regime!! Good!

Those were excellent questions. I can see why she wouldn't dare answer them. Trump is up to his eyeballs in this, it's going to come out someway.....I hope! 🤞🤞

D L May's avatar

Yet that got elected even though many had so much data to attend to regarding their nefarious or immoral behaviors. All they had to do is get up and say a few marketing lines and people suddenly believed how great they were. My goodness, he would never share his taxes, hung sriund with a sex trafficker, much on internet about how how he likely Russians did money laundering duly his casino, filed bankruptcy ? 6 times? Many Russians bought condos or apartments at Trump Tower after he filed bankruptcy at his Casino. I read these reports on Internet articles or video news reports from way back. Do others never read or do they just deny because they want to do what he does or what???

Besset=bull cocky,will his wifey go along with his charade, or be honorable and dignified like Melinda Gates? I sure would like compensation for Trump's DOGE boss, Musk, exposing my personal, confidential Social Security information.
