Why? The answer to your question is simple. People believed the con. They thought he was going to do something. "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs!"He was going to "Get rid of them." Guess who the "them" is today? It's us. Welcome to the new and improved "Equal Opportunity Financial Slavery" courtesy of the orange maniac. That's why.
He's deteriorating. Falling apart daily. Resorting to cursing because he doesn't have enough of a vocabulary to express himself--nor has he ever! He's a bumbling idiot who packaged and sold himself as a genius. He's "low I.Q." as he likes to label others. The nerve!
For all his flabby orange bluster, he is not a well man. I am reminded of Steve Jobs. Rich as rich could be--yet he was rendered a pauper when the Grim Reaper showed up. Not one of these oligarchs can buy health or time.
So, although they're flying high at the moment, I must say I delight in watching them deteriorate before my very eyes. Not "Christian," I know, but, oh, so satisfying.
We are human more deeply than we are of any religion. We are both dark and light.
I don't think taking the high road is always possible, nor necessary. Our intention is not to harm. I think schadenfreude feels very good and bolsters our momentum, inspiration, and unwillingness to jump off a cliff.
Of course. 😅Being dumb as a bump on a log is consistent with these embiciles. Followers every stupid last one of ‘em. Following an orange Judas Goat straight to the slaughter.
His dreams of becoming the conquering hero will never come to fruition. Just look at the people linking arms and taking to the streets to oppose what he and Project 2025 are trying to install.
At this juncture, I’d suggest it sure sucks to be them. What they do not see, nor are they contemplating, is what options they won’t have once TSHTF and the cult leader is deposed. They may flee to Putrid’s land of nightmares, but I doubt he’s any more interested in “saving” them than Dumpster The Dummy is!
The combined MO appears to be “Use ‘em, abuse ‘em, and dump ‘em.” Just look at how he treated Michael Cohen. That alone should have told anybody with even one-half of a working brain cell that he was evil to the core.
Road signs all over the dang place, yet people fell right into his waiting lair. When his imaginary throne topples, I’m not going in among the rubble to search for survivors like we did in Oklahoma City.
That, as we’re all aware, was the handiwork of a white guy—not a black, brown, red, or yellow, or a gay of any “persuasion”—a white guy. The haters need to soak that up, marinate on it, and quit being so gosh dang gullible. Evil does not discriminate. It is an apex predator and, as TV ads like to show us, “… The [item] is available in all shapes, colors—and sizes.”
They think power and money and false superiority will last forever because they think they are above "common humanity." They are so much lower than.
I think people DO see more than they admit, but they feel powerless and ashamed. No one wants to be a fool, so I do think this is part of the continued unwillingness to admit they were duped, conned, used, and thrown away.
"It can never happen to me" is such a common refrain; we've all said it for one reason for another. And the truth is: everything is impermanent. And another truth is: anything can happen at any time.
I appreciate your erudition, always Ed.
And yes, white guys also stormed the capitol. White guys are not going to go pick strawberries or slave in 100 degree heat putting on roofs.
Whites are not street smart; I say this as a white who has gotten a street education affiliated with the carceral system. And as painful as it's been, I wouldn't trade it for my university degrees. It's what most white people are afraid of: knowing that we all are capable of everything. It's right there in front of them and they still refuse to see it.
You are so correct: Evil is an apex predator. And it resides deep in the bowels of this dictatorshiT.
Always look forward to reading your comments Ed, thank you. Good to be in this shitshow together.
Thank you, Beth. Yes, we’re in this foxhole together and the more “togetherness” people discover, take hold of and cling hold to with all their might the stronger the Resistance will be!
NO ONE, literally no one is getting better from these insane tariffs. Not the American people, not the world economy, not the free world (currently engaged in fighting back against a brutal dictator).
This is all a SCAM. The entire GOP has become a scam.
Somehow I do not see the residents of Alaska agreeing to be gifted to Russia. I think there could be major war with the orange menace if he tries to pull that one off.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek there. I can't for the life of me imagine either of these ladies even WANTING to run for office again. They will both get slammed at the voting booth. Assuming we can vote.
My thoughts exactly! He tends to tell us the truth once in a while, usually when he doesn't mean to. Ceding Alaska back to Russia as part of the "land swap" is probably simmering in his reptile brain. Only trouble is, Putin will play him like a cheap violin, Trump will sign over the deed, and get absolutely nothing in return for the US or Ukraine.
Sure can see that (@$%wad*^%stain) gifting AK & teaming up to invade Canada. Felon47 has been very clear about his intentions to be a conquering dictator.
Some time back, Putin did say he wanted Alaska back, and of djt did say something like 'we can work something out'.
Not sure how Canada would feel about having Russia on it's back door step, or even how the citizens of Alaska would feel about suddenly being Russians.
Perhaps the orange subconscious is speaking when he repeatedly states he's going to Russia. So......... let the pilot TAKE HIM THERE! .... ONE-WAY-ONLY ticket. ("Just trying to follow orders, Sir.")
Haha yes! Excellent idea. He loves and worships Putin so much, I’m sure he’d survive there…until he drove Putin batty. But hey, I hear they have really nice prisons there!
Christian nationalists preach it is okay for the husband to beat up his wife........she should just smile and do the GOP mantra of "thoughts and prayers.".....the fascist right propaganda now covers up the high prices as being patriotic.
How much longer can this tidal wave of lies go on before a catastophy of MAGGOT proportions grinds this shitstorm to a hault.
Any man who hits me will be shot. Weaker sex? Nah. Better self-defense weapons. Don't harm me and I won't harm you. Violate that principle and be prepared for the consequences.
McAnkes Orange Clown is declaring war on US citiizens..........ICE has already gutted..destroyed and stolen the money from a restaurant........Next up will be looting peoples homes and mass rape of the women
When will it be time for patriots to arm themselves....organize their own defense organizations and make preparations to fight back.
The day will come when all the abusers including Trump, the entire administration, Scotus, Ice and other so called police will have to answer for their behavior while they were apprehending human individuals. The physical, mental and psychological abuse they have been causing every day since this administration decided to round up, beat up, torture and at times unalive another human will someday need to Atone for their sins against the God these Christians in name only CINO, profess to know.
I hope you’re right, but he’s never been punished for anything. I’ve never believed in hell, but now I’m wishing it is real. What we need now is an Army. 👹
That's all good and well for believers in such things as is their right, but justice is needed on this earthly realm and it needs to come soon and needs to be harsh.
I don't care if they are a trump supporter or not, no American should have to suffer such a price increase for a much-needed life-saving medication! That better not happen with the cost of my daughter's insulin!
Point well taken. I give the benefit of the doubt to the ones that now, in retrospect, that they do regret their vote; they had no idea it would turn out to be this awful. For those people, I sympathize when it comes to the matter of needing a life-saving medication and now being impacted with that due to their choice to believe all of the lies that he spewed on the campaign trail.
Nice Ben! Thanks for keeping us updated with the latest while Ron is taking a much needed and well deserved vacation this week! You are much appreciated! MEIDAS MIGHTY STRONG!!!
Why does the MAGA Supreme Court continue to bow down and bend the knee to the felon, pedophile in the oval office. It's time they practice the oath they took for 'we the people', in the USA before we are mere ink spots in newspapers. You all did not take an oath to protect and pamper the oval office inhabitants.
Justice Roberts can RESCIND the Convicted Felons Immunity and make him accountable for all of his illegal and destructive orders and actions... Unless he wants his hands to be just as Bloody as the Oval office child who is on a swift path of retribution because his feelings have been hurt.
They are bought and paid for. They don’t want to give up their cushy jobs. They’re wallowing in the “prestige.” They don’t care any more about truth anf honor than the hand that has fed them 👹
So, if "paying more till it hurts" is Patriotic... why did the Republicans just give the Billionaires a tax break???
Billionaires pay 6% taxes. Me, you, everyone else? How about triple that.
This is so spot on and an excellent point!
And why did they vote for him to lower the price of eggs?
Why? The answer to your question is simple. People believed the con. They thought he was going to do something. "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs!"He was going to "Get rid of them." Guess who the "them" is today? It's us. Welcome to the new and improved "Equal Opportunity Financial Slavery" courtesy of the orange maniac. That's why.
While he profits by the billions

I was being sarcastic of course ... cognitive dissonance rules, so illogic escapes them.

Appreciate your comments as well. Much obliged.
And when your spouse dies, it's goes up again!!!
NO ONE, literally no one is getting better from these insane tariffs. Not the American people, not the world economy, not the free world (currently engaged in fighting back against a brutal dictator).
This is all a SCAM. The entire GOP has become a scam.
STOP IT!
Do you suppose Trump kept saying “Russia” because the territory he’s proposing be given up to Russia is part of Alaska, not Ukraine?
Somehow I do not see the residents of Alaska agreeing to be gifted to Russia. I think there could be major war with the orange menace if he tries to pull that one off.
Putin is a rabid perpetrator of violence. He doesn’t fret about killing civilians and destroying infrastructure. (look at Ukraine).
Will Murkowski go along?
I did hear that she "has concerns"....
Right???? Exactly!!
No, no, no. You're thinking of my upstanding Senator in Maine ... SHE's the concerned one!
Actually I WAS speaking to Murkowski, who DOES express "concern" but just not as much as Collins. They both talk big till they have to vote.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek there. I can't for the life of me imagine either of these ladies even WANTING to run for office again. They will both get slammed at the voting booth. Assuming we can vote.
Oh, you could be right! He does occasionally say "normal" things..... he did similar re Canada & Greenland, etc.
My thoughts exactly! He tends to tell us the truth once in a while, usually when he doesn't mean to. Ceding Alaska back to Russia as part of the "land swap" is probably simmering in his reptile brain. Only trouble is, Putin will play him like a cheap violin, Trump will sign over the deed, and get absolutely nothing in return for the US or Ukraine.
Probably his way of saying ef you to Murkowski
For her impeachment vote, no doubt.
Sure can see that (@$%wad*^%stain) gifting AK & teaming up to invade Canada. Felon47 has been very clear about his intentions to be a conquering dictator.
Some time back, Putin did say he wanted Alaska back, and of djt did say something like 'we can work something out'.
Not sure how Canada would feel about having Russia on it's back door step, or even how the citizens of Alaska would feel about suddenly being Russians.
djt won't give up Alaska as long as it stays Gardian of Pedophiles and as dumb as Sarah Palin just sayin 🙄
Wondering same. Will the military stand up to that or will they cave were it to happen.
But Alaska has the oil.
Maybe he thinks that he can sell Alaska to Russia, and then get Canada as a state, so the flag will still have 50 stars.
<<<<SARCASM>>>>>

If only there was a viable brain cell among them....
Nope, no viable brain cells. We have low intelligence, zero common sense, and definitely no math skills in this regime.
Plus the Christian Nationalists having a propensity for falling for charlatan saviors. The perfect storm!
No hearts either. Tin Man and Scarecrow for real. No wizard.
Ah! But Trump has his Rasputin.
Oooof! Nice one!
Any man who hits me will get hit back!

I hope Ron is taking a well deserved break, as you all should. We need you all healthy and rejuvenated by self care.
Truth…. They can’t handle the truth!!!!
I’m pissed that I am now paying double taxes for less services.
Me too!😬😬😬😬😬😬

True, Mary! I look forward to their trials.
That's all good and well for believers in such things as is their right, but justice is needed on this earthly realm and it needs to come soon and needs to be harsh.
Well said!
I don't care if they are a trump supporter or not, no American should have to suffer such a price increase for a much-needed life-saving medication! That better not happen with the cost of my daughter's insulin!

🍊 Pedo sucks
FDT
Pretty sure he could fit the tariffs, his entire administration, his new ballroom blueprints and his dead ex wife in his ass with room to spare .
don't forget the plane with the engines running!!!!!

He won't do it
A big thanks to you for keeping our country and the world informed on what’s taking place. Never, ever apologize for speaking truth to power!
Agreed.
