The irony is that Pam Bondi now has unprecedented control of Donald - and he knows it - and his 'full throated' support of her is his only option.

Beth Witrogen's avatar

Forgive me but I had to wretch because I read "deep throated" ... my bad ... but my point stands.

Sandra Sell-Lee's avatar

You just can’t make this stuff up. Karma is real. Just didn’t know when it would show up. Kinda like the Christian Golden Rule: “do unto others…”

I’m really not gloating…just laughing uncontrollably at all the insanity these folks have invoked…planning for maybe 30 years? Really? Really? THIS is what is meaningful to peoples’ lives? What I am saddest about is the state of evolution of so many people in our country. Who knew? I was blindsided when Hillary lost…and have had lots of therapy understanding what it was in me that I allowed these people to hook me into bouts of uncontrollable rage. How could I have been so naive? I refuse to hate anyone, ever, but this past decade has challenged my basic beliefs about any and all people on the planet. I’m in recovery now: I stopped watching or reading any news November 5th, 2024. I have been in seclusion since my husband passed over 11/11/24. I’m blessed with a tribe of family and friends who all believe in the power of love towards everyone I meet. Love is love. I will stand in the light, and speak from the light. I believe we have each been given this life on Earth as a gift to learn how to be the best human I can be. I have free choice about everything I do. Have I made bad behavior choices? OF COURSE I have! I’m 78. The good news is I’ve always wanted to learn, to be curious, been open to everyone’s religions, to understand an out-of-control ego is my own worst enemy. If I believe money and power and expensive stuff will make me happy,…well, then I’m in trouble! I am blessed very early in life from my folks who loved and appreciated the land, they made everything better than they found it: would enrich the soil in our vegetable gardens with compost, plant trees in the woods, we ate the finest home grown vegetables and fruits. The worst sin I could ever commit was lying. I never did, out of the fear of my Father’s wrath and my Mother’s disappointment. My Dad’s admonition to being a good person: “Trust your own conscience. Listen to your inner voice and you will always know what to do.” “Leave the world better than when you found it.” He had no use for liars, thieves, conmen, people who used others, etc.

So, today, I’m breathing a little more easily, saying prayers of Thanksgiving for all the good in the world…and knowing that world peace is possible and it’s up to you and me to create that future. There is a spark of the Divine in each of us…sometimes we don’t know that, or it’s covered over by deep inner wounds. What we can do is let our light shine through compassion, kindness, sharing, loving our neighbor as ourselves…we really have no enemies. Pogo: “we have met the enemy and they is us.” With love, and in peace…❤️🙏❤️😎🐶

Beth Witrogen's avatar

Sandra! Thank you. What a beautiful post. I'm 76, right with you, and have been thinking of that Pogo quote all year! What wise parents you had and what a beautiful upbringing. I love that your dear Dad had no use for liars and conmen. I think mine was the same. Good Midwest stock, always serving the public good. There are more of us than we realize. It's our time now to rise up and shine.

Sandra,

Speaking of The Golden Rule...

Remember when Trump was asked for his favorite Bible verse? (Kinda like asking an amoeba for their favorite flavor of Doritos, but I digress.)

The fact that Bumpy, Dumpy, Frumpy, Grumpy, Humpy, Jumpy, Lumpy, Rumpy, Stumpy, Trumpy apparently wasn't even able to reference The Golden Rule SHOULD been a warning to every white evangelical on Earth. Of course that wasn't their issue, despite their claims.

Thank you, Sandra. Great stuff!

Beth Witrogen's avatar

And I don't think he put his hand on the Bible when he took the oath of office.

Judy Cross's avatar

He didn't place his hand on the Bible when he took the oath of office. I noticed that immediately and commented to everyone that would listen that he didn't. I stated at that time that he was not taking an oath and would do everything the way he wanted, not what the country needed. People thought I was crazy.

Beth Witrogen's avatar

Thanks for your validation Judy. I noticed that and commented too and the media never picked up on it. I was hoping Meidas would do that but people were not paying attention! I am with you on this! [my batshit reason for thinking he didn't was cuz he really is the antichrist]

Lindsay Houston's avatar

What difference would it make? He’s never opened it.

Brian Arbenz's avatar

The only bible verse Trump sees regularly is probably "Placed by the Gideons," because it's on every bible in hotel rooms where he would sleep with his prostitutes and hook-ups.

Twila Samborski's avatar

Like you, I refuse to hate but this evil person in the WH has made it difficult to maintain that desire. Hate only gets hate. I was also devastated after our last election & at 70 still trying to understand how we as a country spiraled into so much hate & anger. I continue to have hope that our higher selves will come through & love & acceptance of all individuals can arise. If enough people carry hope & love & maintain that vision we as a collective consciousness can turn this ship around.

Beth Witrogen's avatar

Yes Twila thank you! With eyes wide open too. I can't believe there has been so much hatred and anger either -- the floodgates opened with his permission and entitlement to get away with murder literally. Light will prevail, but there is still a lot of darkness to get through. We are in the Times of Mordor. Tolkein saw it.

LuVoss's avatar

Well, Sandra. You're a beautiful soul. Not me. I confess. All 79 years of me indulges in my favorite pastime: horrifying scenarios of horrifying things to happen to him and his maga cult. And I make no apologies. I enjoy myself, imagining the multitude of ways he and his will suffer. My form of entertaining myself. But thanks for being in this world with your wonderful outlook and message of kindness. I really do appreciate you.

Judy Cross's avatar

I understand how you feel and have to fight with myself every day to not hate this regime. Do I like these people? No. I don't want to hate them either. For me, hate would be putting myself on their level. I, instead, make fun of how stupid they are, how ignorant, how money hungry (money doesn't buy happiness - it just make life easier). The cruelty they impose, I imagine that it is them receiving that cruelty and pray for those that are on the receiving end, that they can endure what is happening to them and to promise myself that I will always try to help anyone in need that I can. I do not have much money, but I have a lot of love and faith and will use both to do whatever I can for anyone.

Beth Witrogen's avatar

Agree Judy -- and LuVoss thank you for being so honest. I think we all feel it and feel that we shouldn't feel it, but we do. We are human too, and we go to these places in our minds. The thing is to not let it run us into the ground, but keep helping each other like you say, because our love & faith are so much stronger than our fear & imaginings. We are here together building a community and I'm so grateful! You guys keep me going.

LuVoss's avatar

Thank you, Beth. We are all kindred spirits navigating this nightmare, and we draw strength and hope from one another.

Beth Witrogen's avatar

We sure do -- what a gift! XO

Robin D's avatar

LuVoss. You are not alone. I'm 69. I am right along with you, as far as my imagination can take me. It's cathartic. I dream of Karma buses, planes, rockets, asteroids, repelling vampires, retribution. I wrote somewhere on some substack ages ago they drove me to it. Sorry, not sorry. Wish I could hold love and forgiveness in my heart, but nope, there are morally better people here than I. I never wished anyone harm before this regime. Those days are over.

LuVoss's avatar

You make me laugh, Robin D. We'll be all right. We're in the throes of a horror movie. How can we not indulge in revenge fantasies and triumphing over the Bad Guys, and making them pay! Cathartic it is!

Beth Witrogen's avatar

It is!! We are human and it's normal to have these fantasies. We just don't act them out.

Twila Samborski's avatar

I'll admit, sometimes I open SS to see if he's dead yet. No lie!

Robin D's avatar

I check my push notices on my ipad the minute my eyes open lol.

Judy Cross's avatar

I'm sorry for the loss of your husband. I am 83 and enjoy the same values. I wish we could teach everyone the same, but, sometimes people have to learn them for themselves. When I was growing up the majority of us had good values and those that didn't were either taught them, or we stayed away from them. Things have changed so much and I wish, sometimes, that people could go back and see for themselves what was, not what is.

Beth Witrogen's avatar

So beautify Judy, thank you. Totally agree. We have to learn our lessons the way we have to learn them. Nobody can rescue anyone else really ...

Kate's avatar

So sorry about your husband...mine passed In 2010...but seems like yesterday...was an assistant US Atty and a US Marine with 2 tours of duty in Vietnam...he and many others were sprayed with agent orange twice which ended up killing him later in his life. Your pain is all of our pain because we're ALL connected to each other! Your journey is important and your thoughts as well! Thank you for sharing!

I truly believe we shall overcome this hideousness. The beast will destroy himself through all the lies and hatred! And the people who STILL support him will eventually wake up! And get their due especially those in Congress who are trying to ruin the future for our children and grandchildren.... THEY DO KNOW WHAT THEY DO!

So it is definitely up to all of us to hold the line of our freedoms and uphold the laws and Constitution!

So thank you for your kindness and words and thoughtfulness! There are more of us to go forward with truth and love and the PEACE this country needs right now in this pivotal point in our history!!!

Lisa's avatar

But so does patel and bongo. That trio knows the truth and even if trump can't remember what he had for breakfast, he sure as hell knows that those three have the goods on him. I feel like they're going to need to watch their backs, because there's targets on all of them now by trump and miller.

Beth Witrogen's avatar

Yep, I think you're right! If we think WE are in trouble, imagine being one of them, having to sell your soul for the illusory privilege of being close to power??!! I've never believed in the devil before but I feel like we are looking in his face every time -- lots of them. I don't know what the opposite of angel is, but that's this regime.

To quote Dabney Coleman, she’s gonna need to grow some “balls big as church bells!” (Dragnet) I am using humor, but I am literally praying she can be bold at some point. You know, several progressives were impressed with her skill, it’s just that she has seemed to almost be an Epstein hostage of Tяump’s when you get right down to it.

Kathleen Purdy, Eric Hagstrom's avatar

Exactly. So this is what causes them to experience moral outrage???

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

They are hypocrites and voyeurs. Some of them wanted the sordid details so that they could have a vicarious thrill reading about this, while shaking their heads in disapproval.

I think they are after Clinton and other Democrats. But now they smell blood.

Lindsay Houston's avatar

Clinton is in the flight logs. He should be investigated.

EaB's avatar

Yes Kathleen, isn’t it ridiculous that this issue,which is decidedly heinous, is what’s triggering their outrage amongst the endless list of wrongdoing by this monster and his mutant minions?

I was brought up to never say hate when speaking to my siblings but I can’t reconcile my feelings by not hating this bunch of destroyers of millions of people ‘s lives. They are being hurt every single day since he took over ‘running and ruining our country’. If this feeling I have isn’t hate then I can’t put a name to it otherwise. He will deserve every ounce of karma coming to him in the end!

Janet E 🇨🇦's avatar

It was inevitable that Trump would piss off the MAGA base so much. That MAGA is now starting to disintegrate… crazy.

Heather.B's avatar

Trump is having a meltdown because he thought this would all just go away. He is so scared. Pam Bondi is not a "real" Attorney General, and she's complicit in all of the attempts by Trump to take down our Democracy. She's kissed the ring.

The Trump administration tells so many lies, they can't keep track.

If Pam Bondi destroys those files she should be impeached by Congress and removed from office immediately! So should anyone else involved in the cover up.

Trump just lost some of his MAGA followers tonight. Some are burning their red hats. Others are promising to leave the party if Pam Bondi doesn't release the list.

I get so infuriated at Trump voters who have buyer’s remorse after they vote. Like, we TOLD you and you didn’t listen, and now you have no one to blame but yourself.

Trump personally ordered Pam Bondi to not release the files. This was never about running the country, this was about staying out of prison.

This clever "Trump for Prison" tee is perfect for these times 👇

Pat Robinson's avatar

Bondi does not have to worry about being impeached. That would require a GOP Congress with at least a few members that have integrity and there are none.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Maybe he should just send her on a trip to Russia? There are high rises there...

Paul Bourdon's avatar

Right? If I was Bondi, I'd stay away from any windows above a few stories!

Didn't she have ties with Qatar?

They’re hopeless cowards and credulous imbeciles, MAGA is all they’ve got. They ‘re all doomed.

Twila Samborski's avatar

I'm hoping that the Biden Admin. made copies of the files. Not sure why they didn't release them other than they implicated Clinton.

Jen's avatar

I imagine some of he names in the files made the last admin think twice too but honestly if Biden/Garland had released them, everything in their implicating Trump would have immediately and permanently lost credibility with MAGA. leaving it for them was even better... they campaigned on it and did podcasts on it. and now MAGA is watching hypocrisy from their own leader and starting to ask questions, especially after Elon- who they love-called him out on it. my feeling right now is this couldn't have gone down any better in terms of political damage to Trump. ì[ml

Kate's avatar

And let's not forget Al Capone was FINALLY jailed on income tax evasion....not all the murdering and stealing etc....so hopefully this might take down the BEAST of the MAGGOTS....HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!! WE SHALL OVERCOME!!

Twila Samborski's avatar

I also think that if Biden admin. had released, the MAGA would have called foul & probably tried to say it was fake. They would said it was the Dem's trying to figure out how to keep Rump out of the WH.

Laurieanne's avatar

I’ll believe when I see it

Janet E 🇨🇦's avatar

I said starting to disintegrate…I didn’t say it is completely destroyed. They could re-assimilate/reorganize.

S. A. Linden's avatar

They're like the Borg.

Gunnar Jensen's avatar

And they may one day soon come to realize Trumpuppet despises them just as much as he despises the vast majority of us. That is the vast majority of us who despise his vile stupidity, fascism, and hateful, vicious, mean spirited ugliness toward so many people.

Kathyba's avatar

Maybe I’m clueless. Why is this bothering them? As long as he’s still in Power, what do they care?

Brian Arbenz's avatar

If the billionaires decide Trump is a liability to their rule from this point on, his support will hollow out and he'll be gone. After all, the lower educated working class followers of Trump get their cues from the billionaire servant Fox network.

Terry Scott's avatar

I don't think you can legitimately call the Latinos and Blacks and Asians who voted for Trump "white."

Beth Witrogen's avatar

First of all, he didn't write that post. It's too literate and too well composed.

But I'm glad that people are upset in the comments; maybe this post that has actual sentences (blatant lies as they are) is actually reaching people with more than a second grade education who can actually put 2+2 together and not come up with hey whaddya thinkabout gold wainscotting?!

The people that WE the people need to go after are the ones behind him, pulling the strings and destroying lives and democracy.

Agreed, Trump didn't write it and neither did Stephen Miller. Maybe Leavitt.

Leavette is a lying twit puppet who is drunk with her power...don't think she's smart enough to have written it...she just regurgitates what she's told and embellishes it with more lies which she's quite adept at doing...

RJM's avatar

Whoever wrote it: what’s with “thank you for your attention to this matter”? It started appearing as the last line of every one of his spoiled brat posts, his threatening letters to foreign heads of state about tariffs, etc. It’s fake politeness guaranteed to make the reader think “My attention? When hell freezes over, dimwit.”

The whole TACO cabinet is a made-for-TV display of sexual power. That is if you fancy artificial, narcissistic, botoxed, empty-gazed intercourses.

From Gnome to KKK Leavitt, the narcissistic in chief is suggesting to the populace: "I'm a magnet for hot women". Sure, TACO, because you're not the kind of loser to pay a porn actress, first to consent to sex and then to silence her. And finally comment on her physical appearence with the words of a true gentleman. No no, that must be Biden.

The Pig by Anonymous

https://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/index.php%3Fdate=2014%252F05%252F01.html

It was the first of May

A lovely warm spring day

I was strolling down the street in drunken pride,

But my knees were all a-flutter,

And I landed in the gutter

And a pig came up and lay down by my side.

Yes, I lay there in the gutter

Thinking thoughts I could not utter

When a lady passing by did softly say

'You can tell a man who boozes

By the company he chooses' —

And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Carl Selfe's avatar

Trump’s complicity in the trafficking, pedophilia, abuse, and rape of underage girls has been in the news for 10 years. He is an adjudicated sexual predator. He is a convicted felon. He is a notorious liar. He is a con artist. He is an extremely bad president. What else do you need to know?

Derek Smith's avatar

He ain’t going to Heaven, that’s for sure; and the Debbil don’t want him neither.

Susan Raquel's avatar

joke: Joke

Donald Trump has a heart-attack and dies. He is delivered immediately to Hell, where the devil is waiting for him.

"You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got three folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

Donald thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the door to the first room.

In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. Nixon kept diving in, and surfacing, empty handed. Over, and over, and over he dived in and surfaced with nothing. Such was his fate in hell.

"No," Donald said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and it would ruin my hair do. I don't think I could do that all day long."

The devil led him to the door of the next room.

In it was Ronald Reagan with a sledge-hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.

"No, this is no good; I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented Donald.

The devil opened a third door. Through it, Donald saw Bill Clinton, lying on the bed, his arms tied over his head, and his legs restrained in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.

Donald looked at this in shocked disbelief, and finally said, "Yeah man, I can handle this."

The devil smiled and said...........

"OK, Monica, you're free to go."

You aren't. The MAGA cult will stick with Trump till he's dead. Then they'll support whoever Trump anointed as his successor. Maybe Junior? Ugh!

john maeglin's avatar

I’ll disagree with the last part. Trump has a unique, sick charisma that dies when he dies. I don’t think whomever he appoints will generate the same cult following. Strangely, Trump’s death may release the cult members from their trancelike state. If Trump isn’t there to tell them what to think and do, some may actually try to think for themselves.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar

You may be right. I certainly hope you are, especially about being released from the trancelike state and being able to think for themselves.
