The spectacle at the military graduation merely demonstrated Donald’s lack of respect for his audience, the institution, and American values. Speaking about trophy wives, Al Capone and his electoral victories do not constitute a meaningful speech to our best and brightest. It’s time to put a 72 hour hold on this guy for a mental competency exam.

Even worse was the way Bloomberg and NYT headlined the story massive sane washing It has gotten to the point where Corporate media is covering up the fact that trump has full blown Dementia specifically Fronto Temporal Dementia the question is why what are they or their corporate bosses needing to get the government to do that they believe stroking trumps ego will get it done all of the networks are doing it ABC NBC CBS CNN add Bloomberg,WaPo,NYT every one of them is lying to their viewers and readers if you watch a trump speech then see a news report or read an article you will not know what they are talking about
Mainstream Press is sane washing Trump. They are not reporting on what he actually said, they are summarizing, editing out all the craziness and writing their version of what they think he meant, not what he actually said. I hope we get the foreign press to get more visibility over here stateside. They seem to to a better job of reporting when it comes to Trump.
For the truth? Check the Guardian. They didn't mince any words about what that demented soul was doing on that stage. They noted (my words, not theirs) that his mind is not on speaking terms with his body. No one is going to start the process of invoking the 25th Amendment. They are having too much fun destroying the United States and cosplaying their long held fantasies.
Have lost respect for West Point and the support of the maga party. Always looked at West Point as one of the best facilities for grooming women and men for leadership roles in America better than most. Mr. trump has certainly added a stain on West Point - like on all trump touches.
It is NOT a private university, it is a government base that happens to be a univeristy training future officers and others to have leading positions in running this country. Don't blame West Point. They didn't on their own remove books and ask him to speak, or babble. They were and are told what to do. They do not have a choice. You want to blame someone? May I suggest you channel your anger to the wet-brained alcoholic? Hegseth is the one calling the shots. Nothing like a two-bit actor destroying our armed forces.
47 has gutted US defenses and intelligence. Hegseth, Patel, Gabbard? Just waiting for act of terrorism or conflagration - 47 and Christian Nationalists will harden their power and play out their agenda / fantasies. Unclear how this plays out? Clearly, Trump supporters, South African oligarchs like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel continue to parasitize the US Government via corporate shelter, tax breaks + contracts. Brilliant billionaire business minds who gamed US elections and Republicsn party in a broken dysfunctional system. Add an impotent Supreme court and very weak democratic leadership = disaster on all levels.
I wouldn't say they are trying to gut the country. The jury isn't in yet. I was responding to the West Point question. It will be interesting to see how many choose to NOT attend West Point or the other academies after the games that are being played. The incoming classes may be smaller.
As for the comment about "weak democratic leadership." It's pretty damn hard to exercise any kind of "leadership" when one is in the minority in Congress. But you know what? They are rallying - to name a few of those who are keeping the spotlight on the cosplay cabinet, Cory Booker, Chris Murphy, Jasmine Crockett, Jim McGovern, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, would you like me to go on? They are carrying the torch. There are lots of others who are using their time in committee meetings to make sure that this faux administration is on the record for being less than capable of running the country.
The three you mentioned? One is an alcoholic and the other two are running to the title of village idiots. Of those two? One is bankrupting her agency and the other is a chronic no show. The spotlight needs to be kept on them and their antics. The engagement has just begun. Don't throw in the towel, that is their plan. One Neville Chamberlain in history is enough.
You are spot on and thank you for the response. I was just on a mini rant. I am doing everything I can to support the Democratic party and not Sleepwalk into fascism. Thank you for your comments and I agree with you on the torch bearers of the democratic party are doing a fantastic job under great and real danger.
It's hard, isn't it? Especially when you're so aware you don't have a choice. All we can do is be vocal and not allow the lies and fabrications to become our voice.
Thank you. I'm all in with the up-and-coming Jasmine Crockett; she's fearless, from TX, a lawyer, and smart as a whip. I always fast forward to the others you mentioned also at hearings just to see someone call out the MAGA BS.
Thank you for mentioning those Democrats, among others, who are rallying. Attacking Dems because you can is getting old and doesn't accomplish anything. If citizens really cared, they would pay attention and they would vote. Complaining is easy. Doing something else takes time and thought. In retirement, I have the luxury of watching clips and trolling YouTube and other media to see them in action. Unfortunately, I also have to see the idiocracy that is the Republican Party.
Thank you for the clarification. My view is worse, I would not be excited if a child or grandchild wentbto west point if the current government can destroy the great reputation they used to have. Once touched by republican party and trump.....respect and admiration disappears.
I'm sure those graduating cadets - brand new second lieutenants - and all the cadets in the audience knew very well that they were being used as props for Dumpy to give a campaign speech. Yes, some of them might be MAGAts and were thrilled, but not many. Most of them saw the BS for what it was.
I don't know that West Point has any choice in this. It's a government institution to train military officers. Like it or not, Trump does have the title of Commander in Chief.
then, USA might as well have timmcveigh to be a "commander-in-chief", what's a big difference between tRumputin and timmcveigh, 'cept the financial one, I guess........
Tell a senator to start with, 202 225 3121 will get you any senator or house member! Call them! Especially the twerp Johnson, gym Jordan, comer, the real up trump’s ass group!
I'm calling my Senators and Rep every day. Why is anyone avoiding this? It's easy and it takes about 5 minutes. 5 Calls (https://5calls.org) even writes the script for you. Try it.
My Representative's website forces you to enter your address 3 times before you can email him. The website is designed to make it difficult to contact him, with captchas that don't work sometimes, ect.
I suggest that you go to the website of senators that are known to be on the fence about the big beautiful Bill including Josh hawley, Rand paul, Lisa murkowski, and others. You can look it up on chat GPT or Gemini AI. I was able to write seven Senators through their website and it took me about less than 10 minutes.
I just have repeatedly said that I contact everyone that I possibly can! This is extremely serious to me! We are losing our Constitution! The Supreme Court has abandoned us! I am going EVERYTHING I CAN!!! May I ask, are you doing everything YOU can????
I am very poor. I live in subsidized housing and they constantly increase my rent. I can barely eat, I am on oxygen, and they keep asking for donations. It would be better if I just died.
Don't die! We need you in the fight! Even the smallest effort makes a difference. I get discouraged too. Give yourself a break, a pat on the back for all your good work, a special treat (mine is caramel crunch ice cream) and keep on. We can do this although it's hard sometimes.
Sometimes I get emails, but they completely ignore the questions I raised, and just say it's a pleasure to work in their position. I get "no comment" kind of emails
Yes, I do get some answers. Senator Mike Lee's assistant laughed in my face when I was telling him how I felt. I asked him to please ask Senator Lee to search his conscience and obey his Oath of Office. The assistant treated me rudely, said he and Senator Lee were very proud of this bill. I asked and he felt he had done a great job. Senator Mike Lee is an extreme MAGA and has his lips stitched to Trump's ass for years. I left my phone number and asked to have Senator call me back, because I wanted to talk to him. As of this writing, I haven't heard anything.
Sometimes I get actual staffers, who mostly don't say anything. I always tell them that they need to seriously think about who they are working for, since those Congresspeople are giving away their future with their support for trumpian policies. Sometimes I get a canned email response weeks later, full of BS. And, many times I get nothing. But I still try.

When Kermit the Frog gives a more coherent, compelling commencement speech that POTUS, we're in serious fucking trouble. Leave Kermit alone, btw!
Tim: I completely agree with you.

MSNBC is honest!
And sadly they are alone among the mainstream media.
Perhaps we need to be emailing mainstream media and telling them we know what they are doing and we will point out their lies?
Headlines like the one mentioned here are why I cancelled my NYT subscription.
Exactly my reaction.
The integrity of corporate media went away with consolidations and mergers.
Just follow the money ... like the Trumpster, it taints everything it touches.
that being said,

I thought so. I see that post quite often on Meidas Touch.
Reported Kim's post twice now. She has posted the exact same thing on other Substack channels.
she (it?) is everywhere

We need more protests. Mass protests. One event could spark that.

I don't buy the brilliant part. It doesn't take much to take advantage of situations, especially when there are no consequences.
Thank you for the clarification. My view is worse, I would not be excited if a child or grandchild wentbto west point if the current government can destroy the great reputation they used to have. Once touched by republican party and trump.....respect and admiration disappears.

A DRUNKEN two-bit anchor at that.
And, from his tattoos, a white supremacist.
ABSOLUTELY, Carol-Ann!

I'm calling my Senators and Rep every day. Why is anyone avoiding this? It's easy and it takes about 5 minutes. 5 Calls (https://5calls.org) even writes the script for you. Try it.
None of them are taking calls, phone machines have been turned off! Clearly, they don't want to hear from us!
My Representative's website forces you to enter your address 3 times before you can email him. The website is designed to make it difficult to contact him, with captchas that don't work sometimes, ect.
Yes, I have run into that as well. But you can bypass that by calling.
Grrrrr...

Have their numbers in my contacts. I have worked with Indivisible for years.
Thank you for working so hard it certainly is needed now more than ever!
I wish I could do more! I love our country and I don't want Trump to make it disappear!
I just have repeatedly said that I contact everyone that I possibly can! This is extremely serious to me! We are losing our Constitution! The Supreme Court has abandoned us! I am going EVERYTHING I CAN!!! May I ask, are you doing everything YOU can????
Daily calling, donations to the Good Guys/Gals, postcards, protests, etc. Indivisible and 5 Calls and Jessica Craven (https://chopwoodcarrywaterdailyactions.substack.com) are very helpful.
I am very poor. I live in subsidized housing and they constantly increase my rent. I can barely eat, I am on oxygen, and they keep asking for donations. It would be better if I just died.
Don't die! We need you in the fight! Even the smallest effort makes a difference. I get discouraged too. Give yourself a break, a pat on the back for all your good work, a special treat (mine is caramel crunch ice cream) and keep on. We can do this although it's hard sometimes.
I feel you but never wish for dying. It'll get better!!
I have. I mentioned earlier I have all contact information.
My I ask you - did you get any feedback that they ever merely read what you wrote to them....
Sometimes I get emails, but they completely ignore the questions I raised, and just say it's a pleasure to work in their position. I get "no comment" kind of emails
I get those from Dem senators. Infuriating and not to be forgotten.
Yes, I do get some answers. Senator Mike Lee's assistant laughed in my face when I was telling him how I felt. I asked him to please ask Senator Lee to search his conscience and obey his Oath of Office. The assistant treated me rudely, said he and Senator Lee were very proud of this bill.

see, typical.
although my question was meant to Kirk Mann but I appreciate that you, most unfortunately, confirmed what I thought....
Sometimes I get actual staffers, who mostly don't say anything. I always tell them that they need to seriously think about who they are working for, since those Congresspeople are giving away their future with their support for trumpian policies. Sometimes I get a canned email response weeks later, full of BS. And, many times I get nothing. But I still try.
They (politicians) say they keep a tally of phone comments. I hope that's true.
All 3 of mine are taking calls--voicemails, but better than nothing. All 3 have alternate numbers for local offices.
It's worthwhile making the call just for the annoyance factor!
And to increase your influence; they do pay attention to large numbers of constituent dissenters.
He's celebrated and adored for his malignant narcissism and lack of humanity.
Wake up and organise now. It's time to overthrow this rogue regime.
