Until the convicted felon pedophile is thrown out on his ugly face, nothing will change.

jon norstog's avatar

And when he's gone, still nothing will change as long as the oligarchs are pulling the strings. They'll just find another willing puppet.

Candace Lucas's avatar

they will try but MAGA is a cult of personality and that personality is trump. There's no one that will be able to do what trump has done which is to create a massive group of people who give unquestionable loyalty. Not Vance, not Miller, not Desantis. No one. Oligarch Peter Theil found Vance but do you really think that Vance has what it takes to cause a Jan 6?

there's no one other than trump that could incite that kind of slavish devotion. Whatever it is that trump has, as repugnant as the rest of us find it, no one else has it. I believe once trump is gone, congress will stop being afraid and will be more willing to do what's right.

I’ve been saying this all along. Without DJT they all wither and melt, like the Wicked Witch of the West.

Looking forward to the day we have a real president again.

Let’s hope so

Can’t say I agree w/you, Candace. These loyalists are there for the highest bidder for their souls. They will all leave being millionaires, and go off to right a book, or get hired by some extreme right podcast.. or our new, bought, Legacy Media!

Vance called rump ‘Hitler’ and then, became his VP w/Thiel’s backing; Miller is literally rump’s younger brother from Satan and I’m sure his 1st paycheck is from AIPAC; etc, etc, etc. Blondie is bye- bye, but doesn’t care about her law degree….she has all the blackmail info she could ever want for!

These extremists need to “pay the toll to the Angels” (Lady Gaga). Accountability is coming for these fu$kers when “We the People” support pro democracy candidates who DO Not take money from PACs or billionaires!!!!!

They will look a Lot Longer and Harder for a Better Dementia Riddled Brain Dead POS Narcissist to replace him! Maybe Stephen Miller will Volunteer by stepping up! Or next in line to trump’s throne - Vance?

They'll keep coming up with these guys as long as they are allowed to throw their money around. Follow the money, and do something about it.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Them and the Israeli lobbyists.

jon norstog's avatar

AIPAC has long since exceeded the legitimate uses of lobbying by (or on behalf of) foreign governments. Setting limits to lobbying activities on behalf of foreign governments is not going to be EZ. It has to be done as part of a larger effort to get big money out of American electoral politics.

Remember that on election day!

None of what is happening should be surprising. There is much more. Some highlights: Project 2025, Chapter 4; Department of Defense; from pp. 92-103; https://tinyurl.com/3p68fpbj

Military service is the most difficult task we ask of our citizens. … To do better … means recognizing and implementing four overriding priorities:

• Priority No. 1: Reestablish a culture of command accountability, nonpoliticization, and warfighting focus.

• Priority No. 2: Transform our armed forces for maximum effectiveness in an era of great-power competition.

• Priority No. 3: Provide necessary support to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) border protection operations.…

• Priority No. 4: Demand financial transparency and accountability.

Needed Reforms

• Prioritize a denial defense against China. U.S. defense planning should focus on China and, in particular, the effective denial defense of Taiwan.

• Increase allied conventional defense burden-sharing. U.S. allies must take far greater responsibility for their conventional defense. U.S. allies must play their part not only in dealing with China [and] with threats from Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

• Implement nuclear modernization and expansion. The United States manifestly needs to modernize, adapt, and expand its nuclear arsenal.

• Increase allied counterterrorist burden-sharing. Transnational terrorism remains a threat to Americans even as we pivot toward Asia.

2. Prioritize enhancing the capability of allies and partners to take the lead in combating terrorism in their regions.

• Restore standards of lethality and excellence.

2. Codify language to instruct senior military officers (three and four stars) to make certain that they understand their primary duty to be ensuring the readiness of the armed forces, not pursuing a social engineering agenda.

4. Eliminate Marxist indoctrination and divisive critical race theory programs and abolish newly established diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and staff.

Someone needs to tell trump to his face how stupid he is being. Macros may be the guy to do it. F diplomacy this point

Madannie's avatar

HAHAHAHA, let's just guess who the dried up prune is? piggy wants war? I'm wondering if maga folks are rushing to enlist their sons and daughters into the military in SOLIDARITY with piggy. IMO the only thing that will end this shit show is his death or imprisonment. IT IS TIME

Kari Gunderson's avatar

Is that all you got tRUMP?

"Trump attacks Bruce Springsteen — calls him a “dried up prune,” urges MAGA concert boycott."

Like MAGA, if it still even exists, are not Springsteen fans to begin with. Who is the demented, obese, dried up prune? Look in the mirror Donald.

The Anti-Christ will be easily identified..... He's ORANGE !!!

Kim Nesvig's avatar

Seriously, you can’t call trump a prune… he looks much more like a seriously over-ripe tomato.

LHS's avatar

A barking, bloated yam.

Candace Lucas's avatar

you know what happens when a tomato gets over ripe. It explodes.

Amanda's avatar

I would say he's a dried apricot but I like them too much to make that comparison. His face does kind of remind me of a peach pit though.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I said a piece of dried mango 🥭

Diane's avatar

I think he spends a lot of time plumping his pruneness.

No one wants MAGATS at a Bruce concert anyway.

Boy, oh boy, is taco jealous of Bruce Springsteen, or what? "A dried up old prune", have you looked at yourself in a full length mirror lately, Donnie boy? You are bloated, blotchy and decrepit and so ugly that I am amazed that small children don't cry when they are in your presence

LHS's avatar

And has he looked at Kennedy? Speaking of dried-up!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Yeah, he's pretty haggard and wrinkled.

So will Bondi get immunity for covering up for Trump?

Kari Gunderson's avatar

She still has to appear before the House Oversight Committee under subpoena in mid-April. If she perjures herself maybe she'll go to jail. That would be the best outcome for this hardened criminal.

KimBF's avatar

🙏🏼🙏🏼

Adam Knight's avatar

Trump installs DJ6T as AG & control of the whole US govt, Little Johnson closes Congress permanently... until Dems become Republicans.

Bondi gets jail cell, until she blows open the Epstein files!

President Heinrich Himmler Miller carries on running the country !

On the good news front Trump is diagnosed as full blown evil sycopath.

This is starts a run on popcorn sales & everyone of sound mind marches on the WH with their Mr 45 ACP determined for a front row seat for Vladimir Putin's crowning ceremony as Dictator and POTUS.

Lindsay Graham is VP !

NOW FFS ARREST THE CRIMMINALS IN THE WH BEFORE THEY START WW3 !!!

Pam Bondi’s ouster makes Trump’s Justice Department even more dangerous: The best thing about Bondi was her incompetence. Vox; 2-Apr-26; https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.vox.com/policy/484729/pam-bondi-incomptent-justice-department#google_vignette

The worst-case scenario for Trump’s political enemies, and for anyone else who the Justice Department decides to target for political reasons, is that Bondi could be replaced by a capable advocate. (The full list of possible candidates to replace Bondi is not yet known, but some early news reports indicate that EPA administrator Lee Zeldin is under consideration). A competent attorney general would have made sure that a lawfully appointed prosecutor brought charges against Comey and James. A competent attorney general might have selectively leaked Epstein documents that mention Democrats, rather than inspiring an act of Congress requiring all of the documents to be released. And a competent attorney general would treat DOJ lawyers’ time as precious, because every minute a prosecutor spends on unnecessary work is time they can’t spend advancing Trump’s agenda.

I prefer to hope that she and Krusti will get together and launch the Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned revenge tour.

Of course she will!!!!

I can't believe how badly we have let this all continue. Running out of words. Our courts seem to be stepping up mostly but I'm not seeing any enforcement of their orders. On the other hand, I'm hoping we see all these crooks, thugs and murderers at the Hague. Perhaps some of them will actually hang. It's been done before.

Sue Sanders's avatar

No one he picks is ever any good. She certainly passed his loyalty test. I have no confidence in her successor.

Marsha Taylor's avatar

I have no confidence in the entire regime.

Kari Gunderson's avatar

Who's next on the chopping block? I hope it's Hogsbreath.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Apparently Cruella (Tulsi Gabbard)

Candace Lucas's avatar

my sister says he's getting rid of all the women. we all know he hates women. apparently he told Karoline Levitt she was doing a terrible job. I bet she's the next to go.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That would be nice but Kash and Petey need to go as well! What total fuck ups!

Marsha Taylor's avatar

We know he hates women look at how he treats them. I remember a statement he made while campaigning that he is going to protect women weather they like it or not. How any woman voted for him is beyond me.

Kari Gunderson's avatar

She'll likely go on maternity leave soon anyway unless that is one of the benefits that tRUMP wants to eliminate.

Sacrifice is not easy

The following excerpt is from a Washington Post Op-ed from 2020 regarding the Pandemic, but the lessons apply perfectly to opposing the current fascist takeover.

“Sacrifice is not easy and natural, but it can happen. And yet, the language of sacrifice faded in the aftermath of a more popular, more total and more demanding conflict for Americans. Following World War II, the “good war,” politicians, business leaders, unions and many Americans embraced the idea that mass consumption would drive economic prosperity. Even in the midst of the burgeoning Cold War, such a notion supplanted more collectivist notions of community and sacrifice, in part because those were increasingly stigmatized as “socialist” or “communist.” This offered an individualist reaffirmation of the nation’s democratic values and became central to American identity. Mass consumption and participation in the economy, not sacrifice, increasingly came to signal one’s patriotism.


The last military draft in the United States ended in 1973, and since then, service and sacrifice have been voluntary and borne unevenly. The fractures of national unity that came at the end of the Vietnam War and the distrust of government in the wake of Watergate helped to propel these changes. In their wake, collective sacrifice has been extolled by politicians but never urged, much less required. Instead, market logics and consumer-citizenship has been the default setting for how to practice engaged models of citizenship.

Shopping, traveling and showing confidence in the economy have come to define American citizenship and even responses to collective existential threats such as terrorism and emergencies, including deadly viral outbreaks.

The challenges the nation now faces are dire and require sacrifice, not consumption. The problem is that Americans have been actively discouraged by their leaders from making sacrifices in support of larger efforts — including wars, fossil fuel consumption, global warming, the Great Recession and the current pandemic. Confronting the looming public health, economic and climate challenges today requires a wholesale change in how citizens and the state conceive and construct a rhetoric as well as a practice of collective sacrifice.”

I think Bondi will have an "accident " so that the Epstein names will never see the light of day.
