Well I do know two Canadians who think Rump is doing a great job and he’s right to do what he’s doing. They even added more by saying they was willing to go without for a couple of years. These are people we meet in Koa Tao Thialand last year. We ran into them in Vietnam this year. So we got in the subject of politics knowing they are Canadian Trumpers. And shocking to us they went bonkers on how and why they love him even more. We are still destabilized by our conversation with them. Crazy. They also brought up the fentanyl thing. Crazy right?

Who are these two Canadians? What does that matter who they are? And have you called your local nut house? No! These are people who are Canadian and just like many American couples are deeply attached to probably Fox News and have lost the ability to discern all the information in news out there. Also I believe there is a hate for lower income peoples. People always worried that someone’s getting a piece of cake they paid for. They live everywhere in every neighborhood. They are family, neighbors, friends. It seems it’s a defect in humans. Hating someone because you deem them not as good as you. We use color, size, religion, sex, and more as the reason it’s ok to do this. Absolutely sad and disgusting. I myself am not an educated woman past grade 12. But even dumb old me knows this.

So those who didn't vote for him surely now have a duty to oppose him in every way? He's not speaking for you. Take to the streets, deluge your Senators and congress members with demands that they do something, especially if they're Republicans. Tell them you will not vote for them in the next election - if there is one -and you will work for their opponent if they don't rein him in, or even better, impeach him and force him out.

It was like the Science Club vs the School Yard Bullies. It was a never ending hell on wheels and the American public was left battered and divided. A few Republicans and two Supreme Court justices could cross over and easily help set things right. But they aren’t so far. They are either complicit or terrified.

We shouldn’t be surprised though, as disgusting as it is. He understands how to manipulate his base because he’s stoking hatred that is already inside them. They’re deeply afraid of what they don’t know, haven’t been exposed to, don’t understand, see lesser than themselves, or who they hope to be (rich white billionaire). He knows exactly how to play them by pretending to understand and be on the same side as them. Trumps fantasy of being popular and wealthy are what drives him to act insane. The crazier he is the more his base just gobbles it up. Hatred and ignorance is all MAGA is. All they could ever be. They are so God damn afraid of even their own truest selves that they would be destroyed during a ‘dark night of the soul.’ A lot of our rural areas have generational farmers whose children often times missed school to work on their families farm. Especially during the Great Depression. So, now you have three generations of some of the poorest and least educated in the entire country absolutely lapping this shit up like a dog. The people pulling trumps strings are Christian nationalist assholes who firmly believe in eugenics and white supremacy. As delusional and absolutely bat shit crazy trump is, there are 100 even more terrifying men and women behind him whose entire soul purpose is to cleanse society. Enter, The heritage foundation.

Yes. There can be impeachments.

IF the top monster or, preferably two, is beheaded, the successor would probably take a less arrogantly obnoxious, destructive style and stance. We have to fight every step of the way, build critical mass of defiance and safeguard the vote-counting machinery in the midterms against muskrats evil tech monkeys.

Nancee, please read my last sentence one more time.

We won’t get to impeachment tomorrow or the next day. If it’s ever to be possible, the sooner people, and politicians, start seeing “Impeach Trump, Impeach Vance” signs, the sooner they will start to accept that the movement is real. It may take till after midterms, maybe not, depending on how irrational and destructive the orange insurrectionist becomes.

When I show up at my next protest, my sign will say “Impeach Trump, Impeach Vance !” If you want to carry a sign that says; “Fire Musk”, “Hands of my First Amendment”, “Stand with Ukraine”, “Trump: You’re Fired”, or anything along those lines, that would be great.

Republicans are not the least bit moved by our marches and signs. The geography of our partisanship limits the threat of votes. They get some pressure in towns halls & the response is to say it's paid Democrats and we just won't listen anymore. I'm not sure we'll make it to the midterms, but if Dems take back the House, MAYBE that majority would impeach, but I see no way of getting 67 votes in the Senate.

So why don't they start at the bottom up and take them all through impeachment?

Dumb enough to think there were air bases in 1775 for the Continental Army to capture.

This might be my favorite stupid thing he's said. It's in contention with "Shine sunlight inside your body" and "Windmills cause noise cancer."

“Dissociation from family, compulsive buying disorder (oniomania), vulgar speech characteristics, screaming, inability to control emotions, behavior, personality, and temperament are characteristic social display patterns.” (frontotemporal dementia)

Sounds familiar.

He violated his student visa. If he was Palestinian, Rubio would have Homan deport him.

Possibly, but not hard enough ;)

He needs to be helped into a straight jacket and taken to a quiet padded place where he can sleep his evilness away and let the rest of us resume normalacy.

Two attempts that we know of. As much as I hate to admit it, my reaction was immediate laughter. I don't like these attempts, but Trump is a huge target every time he starts an insane rant.

I thought he might learn something, but nope. He just keeps on getting even more repulsive.

The straight jacket visual is fun to think about, but it'll never happen.

Has anyone at all in his administration considered there may be something seriously wrong with trump? He seems to have no filters. He said those things in the presence of the NATO SEC? Is he hoping the world sees him as a strongman? He just sounds off his rocker.
