You're giving too much credit to the MAGA faithful. They might be rumbling now but their personal identity is so intertwined with their orange jesus that I think he'll keep most of them in the fold. He has shown there is nothing he can do or say that would shake the cult. Epstein? Please. They knew full well, like all of us, that Fat Don was all over that shit. They don't really want to know the truth, like most things with them, running on "find out the truth" is nothing more than a pithy campaign slogan. The actual TRUTH, they will whitewash it away or ignore it. This hiccup in MAGAland will be short lived.
Nail-on-the-head, Michael. MAGATS admitting they've been duped, that they've "seen the light"? That they might now begin to question Trump's every utterance, every decision, every policy? Never, in a million years. Every one of them is beyond the pale, incorrigible, irredeemable, lost.
The guy down the road from us, here in the rural Deep South, ALWAYS had 3 or 4 flags in his front yard, and other than the US flag, all hate flags. He once had > 20 hate flags at once in a circle in his backyard.
But about a month ago, everything vanished except a single US flag in the front yard, and it remains that way to this day. I may never know the reason, but it's a great, unexpected sign!
I'm the only local lib, and THIS will tell you just how afraid they are of our guns (at least when they're in a crowd):
"...my far-right neighbors and many relatives (yes, my family has been in this very South Carolina county long enough to have received a land grant from the king) went all-out celebrating on the day after the Kyle Rittenhouse “verdict” was delivered in November 2021. To the far-right, Rittenhouse’s self-defense acquittal (while being too young to legally own the assault rifle he used to murder two unarmed, peaceful, legal protesters, and maim a third) was a loud shout to each Trump worshipper that killing Americans they disagree with politically would forevermore be deemed “justified”, and they seemed dedicated to giving Trump all the credit. To honor what they saw as their new “Kill at Will” freedom, several dozen armed white men alternately spent the entire day (until several hours into night) shooting their many guns in the closest possible field to the “local liberal”, while staying just within the law. (I’ll let you guess who that particular liberal is…)"
I have more examples, but they're much of this type, but without ever observing legal distances for shooting firearms near a residence as they did in this example.
Maybe bake a batch of cookies and pay him a neighborly visit. He might be ready to chat. You never know until you meet someone. A smile and a plate of fresh cookies can work wonders. Yeah, I know. I'm naive.
This whole past decade has been hard on those of us that believe in a higher power that maintains the cosmos in perfect equilibrium, even with a Trump present. (It's a really BIG place.)
I hope you're right, Suzanne, and I believe that you are. As a child I always believed it possible for EVERY religion to express truth, and I still do. I guess what concerns me is that most T-cultists believe in Trump now more than they do Jesus. Perhaps this recent "issue" will return a few to the Mount, in time to hear the Sermon and once again to at least consider the Golden Rule (and to help some immigrants.)
The urge to be divisive can be very small, but it's just as insidious. Attacking someone's character so as to avoid answering a question, with the hope that the question be forgotten, is a prototype of this approach. Bridging the gap between different perspectives is a different stance than wanting to win an argument, and the balance between these two different actions should be maintained. Probably the most difficult challenge is to explain your perspective to someone with one that is different - it can be done....but not if stoking fires is one's primary approach.
Maybe when they see masked up Ice-Gestapo taking away grandma's wheelchair.....or a gang of horny Maggots drag his daughter into the streets to be gang-banged......go to the hospital for an emergency and the place is dark and boarded up.......just maybe Trumptard, Foxwashed braindead morons will see a flicker of light
Nah. They'll say the Dems did it to make Trump look bad, same as they blame J6 on "antifa". With delusional thinking, evidence against the conspiracy is just more evidence OF the conspiracy.
Maybe in the past that would happen. Most people have video recording devices and using them in the Gestapo raids. This Epstein thing could be a game changer......Maga hats going up in flames??? Never saw that on the horizon.........
It will happen, particularly to those whose entire identity is wrapped in MAGA grievance. There is nothing - NOTHING - that will persuade a true believer to admit that they might be wrong. It would mean everything they are, everything they stand for, and everything they've fought for is wrong, and they've wasted years of their existence that they'll never get back believing in bullshit. That's not even cult-think. It's delusional-think.
MAGA is a bunchoif ignorant man baby racists parading as Christians and patriots. The sheets are no longer shameful. They wear them with pride. Raping little girls? Meh Just marry them if you get them pregnant or better yet.. abandon them and their progeny. Just more little girls to be abused. Sick bsstards and the women who support them? They cover their eyes and wait for the fists to fall their way until they can pull a kid in front of them for a shield and on and on it goes. The subjugation of women for the sport., amusement and empowerment of men
I agree. Bannon, Carlson & the other close Trump sycophants are just using him to position themselves under the umbrella of power. They know they don’t have what it takes to appeal to MAGA on their own so they’re willing to debase themselves in order to remain under his shadow. It’s the only way they can pick up Trump’s MAGA crumbs. Without him, they’re absolute nobodies & Trump knows it.
It looks to me like the only way they get out of this is to let Pam Bondi show a fake list. He only told her to expose the ones she thought were accurate. Well that’s pretty clear. They don’t want the rest of them out there.
I believe there are many who practice intentional ignorance... a way of manipulating others and financially profiting while they can. Especially in relation to climate change and fossil fuels. The data is available. Free access at respected, long time online sites , ie Pew Research, Pro Publica, Inside Climate Change and the Carnegie Endowment who are widely known to the stock market and investment pros. Europe is and has been more educated, more aware than Americans, who've been dumbed down. Who are exhausted and overwhelmed. If anti DJT movement is successful, we stand a better chance of enacting positive change.
Silly me not having faith in MAGA after they voted for the convicted felon, rapist, insurrectionist and conman three times. But sure, I'm the negative one. GTFOH.
There will be at least one more. If MAGA isn’t subdued at this next midterm election by electing enough Democrats and perhaps what few Patriotic Republicans there may be left who resist the chaos, criminality, corruption, and outright ripping apart of what has made this Country truly great for over 2 1/2 centuries, it could very well be our last free one.
The Orange Cheeto’s Blatant Plan for Election Subversion
Yesterday Cheeto unabashedly claimed that the Nazi party was gerrymandering in Texas so the Nazis would pick up 5 Texas legislative seats in the upcoming 2026 midterms(https://bit.ly/4kJXnyG) The mid decade redraw is pin ootentially illegal but being forced by Cheeto’s DOJ in order to target areas which have sizeable Latino and Black populations
The obvious mockery of the Voting Rights Act is beginning to show Nazi attempts to secure some election wins Cheeto sees the rope tightening around his neck with the Epstein file fiasco….word has it that they will release the client files in the next couple of weeks….and his highly unpopular ICE detention of immigrants in concentration camps Not to mention the loss of health care for 17m Americans and loss of food benefits for another 10m
But get ready folks This is just the beginning of how Cheeto and his Nazi sycophants are going to try to rig the 2026 midterms
Everyone who cares know that he is totally ignoring the rule of law in our country, but it used to be that you didn't go to the rooftops to shout that you wanted gerrymandering to benefit yourself personally. The fact that he's doing that is another very bad sign of what's to come: he's going to rig the election in broad daylight.
The one thing autocrats want is to have people feel isolated and alone in this plight but you are not alone Join Resistance groups gaining traction across the country Pramila Jayapal's Resistance Lab or recently launched Indivisible project launched yesterday One Million Rising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4496VWDjwS0 Join the Resistance!!
100%. The Orange Fuherur & the Nazi are back NSDAP 2.0 with all the usual add ons, Concentration Camps (Alligator Auschwitz) Blackshirt ICE & Rounding up opposition members (Des) & attacking Blue states. Miller-Geobbles.
We know...this is a multinational thing, Israel is all over it. Get men with lots of power and money, wine and dine them, get a little girl in their lap, video it and then blackmail for all kinds of things, like presidential immunity...wonder why the republicans are all bending over backwards to placate the felon rapist...he's at the very top of the scheme..
This is going to take more than text outrage. Whatever transpires is going to take Courage and Money. Is there any Leadership among this group of Outraged Americans? Because that’s what it’s going to take and don’t forget $$.
This outrage shouldn’t just die out but the energy here can be used for A REAL CHANGE promoted and led by REAL AMERICANS such as those who have fought and died for
Right!? Especially when they kept saying Dems wouldn't release it bc their names were in it. If it's going to implement your so called enemies then why wouldn't you release it and persecute them? 🤔
And Democrats might very well be there. But certainly Republican names are there as well. And Republicans ran with the story while Democrats did not. So they now have far more to lose.
Trump is looking like he's on his last legs. To the extent he is active, it's because others are pulling his strings. The problem those others face is that none of them could win an election. The solution is to cancel the next election.
He looks like a total redneck idiot with the kerchief thingy on his head - until he speaks & you realize he is on the ball & a real good & decent human being ! One of those instant prejudice things that we all tend to do to each other ! Years ago people were much more wary of having a 'look' that might stereotype them, mothers would nag their teens about 'appearances' - but in this day & age it's 'anything goes' which makes it much harder to decide who you are dealing with !
Tennessee Brando comes off even more of the same if you aren't from that subculture. Especially since he's a wrestling fan. But he's worth a watch as well.
The short version is if elections don't happen there will be violence, and even the GOP understands this. My personal take is elections can be messed with massively in autocratic countries, but it usually takes a more mature autocracy to pull that off. Also the fact we run elections at the state level is somewhat protective. My last take is voter suppression isn't a new thing at all. I ran a precinct on GA for a couple of decades. The Good Ol Boys still mostly run things here.
I really don't see them following giant Toad Bannon, or the Fox pundit milk toast. They believed the 🍊 A$$'s TV persona that the producers of The Apprentice now regret creating. ie Master of the Deal, NOT, Trash Talker, YES, political outsider, somewhat. But they watched as he touted how much he admires the Richest of the Rich, made fun of the disabled, called Veterans Losers, had the Capital attacked hoping they'd kill his VP and still they voted for him. They are a quagmire of everything wrong.
These people are close in enough to know the post Trump Era will come sooner than the legacy media realizes. There's a limited time for them to be able to prop up Trump, and once a cult leader dies the only way a cult continues is if the leader can be replaced by an idea.
It will still take a while for the conspiracy theory crowd to wind down. They'll still be fed propaganda, and it will take a while for many of them to come out of the cult.
I am more concerned about the Christian Nationalists in the long run. They won't give uo easily or deprogram themselves much. We can hope their kids do.
Did you read his autobiographical novel HILLBILLY ELEGY. I highly recommend it because he is another one to worry about—an honest to God FIGHTER AND A TOUGH GUY. Not to be trusted at all…
That is ridiculous. He earned his position through hard work when the likelihood of becoming Vice President was made better as people got to know him through his Autobiography.
Vance has all the appeal of a dose of clap. In any circle you can name. I coidl worry about who's pulling his strings, but he'll be temporary. And when he's out of office just wait his wife will come to her senses and leave with the kids too. Because he obviously doesn't care about his family either.
How do you know that? Have you read his book HILLBILLY ELEGY? Before such judgement it would be good to learn about this man first and the book is excellent.
🙄 If you want to know who a person is, ignore what they say and watch what they do. I see what you just did, but it might be a one off so I'll get mosey along and continue cleaning our my spice cabinet. Have a blessed day.
Maga just doesn't learn. Even if the Epstein files were released and Trump's name was in it, they'd stick by him. They are fully indoctrinated. Look at how much Trump's already screwed them. It just doesn't sink in. Their skulls are filled with concrete.
Agreed. If Trump is in those files, they will just say the Dems or Biden manipulated the files to frame Trump. I can't understand why Trump isn't doing the usual: Deny, Lie and Deflect. He's trying to deflect, but the more hysterical he sounds, the more it sounds like has something to hide.
Yes, I remember that. There's "politics as usual", but the current deliberate lies and being in the gutter that the gop is doing is now their regular behavior. One can only hope that their base will eventually wise up to it. I'm starting to doubt it.
The other sleazy trash can anti-American grifters also know that Trump is a very physically sick man. WE can see the edema in his legs, ankles, and neck. I imagine they know for certain he has congestive heart failure or something like it. They know he’s weak in all the ways.
But Michael, the MAGA faithful around here are already calling it a Democratic hoax. "Another Democratic hoax. Just like Russia Russia Russia." They don't give a shit; they just trust trump like Jesus
Bannon?! President?!! Not a snowball's chance in hell! (BTW, that's the first time I've used that phrase. :-) ) He is a pile of filthy clothes and whiskers. Power behind a throne? Probably. Bongino: ditto. Physically unattractive. Tucker Swanson? God forbid that he should become prezzident.
You're giving too much credit to the MAGA faithful. They might be rumbling now but their personal identity is so intertwined with their orange jesus that I think he'll keep most of them in the fold.

maybe crazy moved out and sentient moved in?
It's possible, but I suspect he's still as racist as he ever was.
Maybe he realized that Democrats have guns, too.
Here, that might not really matter so much.

Suzanne,
This whole past decade has been hard on those of us that believe in a higher power that maintains the cosmos in perfect equilibrium, even with a Trump present. (It's a really BIG place.)

Standing against racism, hatred, and fascist rulers isn't divisive. If people don't want to admit the truth, it's a bridge too far.
Honest people abandon clearly false beliefs.
There are no gods.
Maybe when they see masked up Ice-Gestapo taking away grandma's wheelchair.....or a gang of horny Maggots drag his daughter into the streets to be gang-banged......go to the hospital for an emergency and the place is dark and boarded up.......just maybe Trumptard, Foxwashed braindead morons will see a flicker of light

Once they do that, MAGA will shut up
I have no faith in your opinion. No one knows what these morons will do, it remains to be seen.
How very rude and hypocritical.
Don’t like it? Blow it out your ass.
Don’t like it? Lump it. Screw you and your opinion.

Yes. Jess Piper says it loud and clear. Give the Magats a month and they will all be folded.
They think Jesus has washed away all Trump's sins.
And I think you need psychiatric help, STAT.
And I think you're rude.
OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH. Quit the negativity and give it a chance if you have the nerve to stand up not for one individual or another
One Party or another but the good that comes from honest, intelligent protesting the nightmare that has become Our so called Leadership.
Silly me not having faith in MAGA after they voted for the convicted felon, rapist, insurrectionist and conman three times. But sure, I'm the negative one. GTFOH.
How very rude and hypocritical.
Faith is stupid.
So are your opinions.
This isn’t news. The news is what are citizens going to do about it? Now? Not at the “next elections”.
Many in the MAGA actually believe that Trump is the only one on earth who doesn't lie. Sound nutty?
There will be at least one more. If MAGA isn’t subdued at this next midterm election by electing enough Democrats and perhaps what few Patriotic Republicans there may be left who resist the chaos, criminality, corruption, and outright ripping apart of what has made this Country truly great for over 2 1/2 centuries, it could very well be our last free one.
Not sure we have had a free election in a while. All the gerrymandering and corp money has seen to that.

The question keeps on coming up: If there is nothing there, why won't you release the files? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING???????????
We know...this is a multinational thing, Israel is all over it.

Because Republican are scared of their own shadows. They are all cowards. And they are frighted to death of Trump.

Why?
Baffling Why?
He’ll, half of the list is probably Republican Senators and Congressmen!
A certainty, Geatz ?
This is exactly it.
It makes sense why Mike Johnson said "Their little secret"
I think DONvict IS raking in billions through blackmail !
Right!? Especially when they kept saying Dems wouldn't release it bc their names were in it. If it's going to implement your so called enemies then why wouldn't you release it and persecute them? 🤔
And Democrats might very well be there. But certainly Republican names are there as well. And Republicans ran with the story while Democrats did not. So they now have far more to lose.
And donors. Don't forget the donors, both right and left.
Dems didn't release it because they couldn't ... the files were sealed.
INCRIMINATE
Exactly!
I don't care who's on that list, even if it includes a Pope. They are wrong and need to be punished.
Exactly right.
Definitely!
He's a Peado
Trump is looking like he's on his last legs. To the extent he is active, it's because others are pulling his strings. The problem those others face is that none of them could win an election. The solution is to cancel the next election.
Oh if they cancel the next election I expect Texas Paul's take on that on how YT channel in the past day or so will be accurate.
Can you summarize "Texas Paul's take"? Don't know who that person is.
Texas Paul can be located on YouTube. He's bright, big-hearted and at first glance appears to be a "good old boy". Enjoy his commentaries.
Love Texas Paul. He doesn't mince words.
He looks like a total redneck idiot with the kerchief thingy on his head - until he speaks & you realize he is on the ball & a real good & decent human being ! One of those instant prejudice things that we all tend to do to each other !

I really don't see them following giant Toad Bannon, or the Fox pundit milk toast. They believed the 🍊 A$$'s TV persona that the producers of The Apprentice now regret creating. ie Master of the Deal, NOT, Trash Talker, YES, political outsider, somewhat. But they watched as he touted how much he admires the Richest of the Rich, made fun of the disabled, called Veterans Losers, had the Capital attacked hoping they'd kill his VP and still they voted for him. They are a quagmire of everything wrong.
MAGA ARE THE SWAMP !
These people are close in enough to know the post Trump Era will come sooner than the legacy media realizes. There's a limited time for them to be able to prop up Trump, and once a cult leader dies the only way a cult continues is if the leader can be replaced by an idea.
Be fearful of JD Vance! He is the MOST ambitious man in D.C.
BEWARE!
Oh his backers are a problem, but he hasn't got a hope in hell of getting popular with anyone.
He doesn't have the personality to attract maga. None of the regime does. Maga is Trump and when he goes they are rudderless.
It will still take a while for the conspiracy theory crowd to wind down. They'll still be fed propaganda, and it will take a while for many of them to come out of the cult.
I am more concerned about the Christian Nationalists in the long run. They won't give uo easily or deprogram themselves much. We can hope their kids do.
He doesn't have the cachet that he needs to pull it off.
He certainly is!!
Did you read his autobiographical novel HILLBILLY ELEGY. I highly recommend it because he is another one to worry about—an honest to God FIGHTER AND A TOUGH GUY. Not to be trusted at all…
He's not a tough guy. Vance might be vp but he's really a nothingburger. He's not going last long at all.
That is ridiculous. He earned his position through hard work when the likelihood of becoming Vice President was made better as people got to know him through his Autobiography.
Vance has all the appeal of a dose of clap. In any circle you can name. I coidl worry about who's pulling his strings, but he'll be temporary. And when he's out of office just wait his wife will come to her senses and leave with the kids too. Because he obviously doesn't care about his family either.
How do you know that? Have you read his book HILLBILLY ELEGY? Before such judgement it would be good to learn about this man first and the book is excellent.
🙄 If you want to know who a person is, ignore what they say and watch what they do. I see what you just did, but it might be a one off so I'll get mosey along and continue cleaning our my spice cabinet. Have a blessed day.
HOPEFULLY
A GOOD IDEA
These are sick people covering up for a pedophile!
Maga just doesn't learn. Even if the Epstein files were released and Trump's name was in it, they'd stick by him. They are fully indoctrinated. Look at how much Trump's already screwed them. It just doesn't sink in. Their skulls are filled with concrete.
Agreed. If Trump is in those files, they will just say the Dems or Biden manipulated the files to frame Trump. I can't understand why Trump isn't doing the usual: Deny, Lie and Deflect. He's trying to deflect, but the more hysterical he sounds, the more it sounds like has something to hide.
He lied in front of the WH! Biden, Obama, Hillary did it!
What a dumb, ignorant, mentally deranged unstable person!
He learned that from Hillary " it's a right wing conspiracy"
It WAS a vast right wing conspiracy ... what sort of moron would like the two?
Remember Newt Gingrich? He was a real turd, but now he's like Trump-Lite.
Yes, I remember that. There's "politics as usual", but the current deliberate lies and being in the gutter that the gop is doing is now their regular behavior. One can only hope that their base will eventually wise up to it. I'm starting to doubt it.
It's always "fake news" or a democrat conspiracy. The gop is one sick party.
Alsays have been
Republicans are responsible for 99.9999% of all US
Problems.
I highly doubt it. Most of the comments from the right have turned from "Release the FILES!" to "Well why didn't Biden do it."
THROW THESE AWFUL PEOPLE
OUT LOCK STOCK
AND BARREL
The other sleazy trash can anti-American grifters also know that Trump is a very physically sick man. WE can see the edema in his legs, ankles, and neck. I imagine they know for certain he has congestive heart failure or something like it. They know he’s weak in all the ways.

Not sure if this is up to date.
I agree, he looks like 🍊💩!
Puffy n 🍊!
But Michael, the MAGA faithful around here are already calling it a Democratic hoax. "Another Democratic hoax. Just like Russia Russia Russia." They don't give a shit; they just trust trump like Jesus
Bannon the Cannon, Mother Tucker, Bingo Bongino…what a cast of evil clowns!
They may be running a coup, but who will wind up on top?
These Egos on Fentanyl will NEVER accept anyone but themself on top, hence,
the bloodletting will make a Shakespeare tragedy look like an episode of Sesame Street!
It means NOTHING. MAGA has already pivoted and are defending Trump.🙄
“Why didn’t democrats release it? They must be on it”
So what! Then Trump should want to release it all that much more! He would love to bury democrats. The ONLY reason to release it is if he’s on it.
THAT is how devoted MAGA are! Even being a pedophile doesn’t sway them.
Racism, cruelty, lies, economic ineptitude, concentration camps, increased cost due to tariffs, complete isolation from allies, and now, pedophilia.
…and they still support him. NOTHING will break their koolaid fuelled cult.
Bannon?! President?!! Not a snowball's chance in hell! (BTW, that's the first time I've used that phrase. :-) ) He is a pile of filthy clothes and whiskers. Power behind a throne? Probably. Bongino: ditto. Physically unattractive. Tucker Swanson? God forbid that he should become prezzident.
Bannon The Fly breeder!
Great article. Very astute.
