Bear in mind the British equivalent of Jerome Powell is now the Prime Minister of Canada

I am not a person of great means, but I do have some discretionary income. Every month after I pay off my credit card, I subscribe to one new independent journalist. Seems to me that this is my civic duty. We are doomed without a free press, and it is clear that the legacy media is not going to step up to the plate.

Trump has an enabler writing his posts. He is too confused to be doing it himself.

The Republicans should be so very ashamed of themselves that they are letting this all happen. Trump is ruling America with an iron fist because no one is telling the toddler- no you cannot /should not do that, it will cause untold harm !

Taking troops out of Germany is playing Putins game.

Is all this chaos purely down to cash dollars. Do the senate all love themselves so much that they don’t care about their children’s legacy. Do they think that dollars will give them intelligence and trust and decency ?

It won’t.

Please deal with Trump. He is sick and needs medical care not to be allowed to trumpet around destroying the world.

Trump is definitely not writing all these posts himself. Some, I think are AI assisted, and/or guided by others. He also has someone access other far right, neo-Nazi platforms and steals their material.

We know he is very sick on ALL levels and is undoubtedly a sociopathic narcissist, serial pedophile and rapist, TREASON, money laundering and extortion criminal who is NOT even a legitimate president-Jan.6, 2021….he is a criminal Squatter with his family and KKKronies in OUR White House. He is nothing more than a useful Nazi fascist Conman idiot puppet being controlled by Putin, Netanyahu, EPSTEIN Class, Elon Musk, Palantir Thiel and Karp, Project 2025-26 the Heritage Foundation, EPSTEIN Files and ALL the crimes he/they have and continue to commit.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE BLOOD MONEY 🩸💰

I think it could be a teenager or maybe a student as it’s usually in the middle of the night - Stephen miller would be much much more vicious

I agree, Charlotte, that Donald has an enabler writing his posts. Stephen Miller, maybe?

I think it's his Silicon Valley-technocrat-mouthpiece-fat-boy-Kim-Jong-Un-look-alike Steven Cheung.

As with the MOB;

Mob boss John Gotti had tons of money, many many followers, and the best attorneys money could buy. Gotti won so many of his court cases that he was dubbed "The Teflon Don".

BUT...it still didn't stop him from dying in PRISON in Missouri.

There still is Hope! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Who’s feeling more pressure, Trump or the American people? Trump is facing real, daily, and unrelenting pressure from Iran, Putin, certain Congressional leaders, MAGA stalwarts, and time. His failing health is affecting all and more, and not to his favor. We, the people, are facing loss of power, higher prices, unrelenting bad news on all fronts, and the usual personal anxieties about family, health, and safety.

Our collective suffering is balanced by our collective capacity to fight on, one day at a time as per usual. Only the uninformed and disinterested brush off the environmental and political threats that informed people keep fighting against. Point being, our existence is not dependent on Trump’s success or failure in fighting his demons but on our own innate and learned coping skills. He will not prevail over his enemies or his health or the inevitable loss of power. We will prevail as always.

A thousand thank you's to you, Heather, for continuing to clarify, explain, and contextualize what we are living through. Your voice is very much appreciated.

Murdochian legacy corporate media is now a hostile global political force. This fourth estate owes its political loyalties to its owners, the Maxwell- Epstein global criminal oligarch class. The DC Maga mobster techbro oligarchs’ open stealing of the American people’s tax monies and the parallel judicial destruction of postwar back human and civic rights for the Project 2025 Christo-fascist ideologues is only at the starting gate. This is why prescient historians like Timothy Snyder fled America to save his life whenever Maga voters gifted the Trump Family & Co a second presidential term. He knew exactly how this was going to play out.

My guess is the real powers that be are trying to keep 47 in office until early 2027, at which time he will have completed a full one-half of this term. Then, JD will become Pres and at the same time preserve his ability to run for two full terms on his own. I think if JD assumes office at any time this year, 2026, he will only be able to run for one full term.

What is the 37% that doesn’t budge? It’s not worse that’s the same as it’s been a long time. I don’t get it.

MAGA/MAWA-Make AmeriKKKa White (“christian” nationalist) Again…KKKult. These are angry, less or uneducated people with an average 5-7th grade education, fellow Nazi, “patriots.” Ice Gestapo/J6’ers and sycophantic and complicit RepubliKKKans and Benedict Fetterman, KKKaninet, corrupt 6 members of SCOTUS, EPSTEIN Class, ALL profiteering off ALL this- the illegal wars, stock market manipulation, Polymarket, extortion, money laundering, “real estate” deals, government contracts to family owned weapons and tech. companies, “BORED of Peace” dues and stolen oil money into an account in Qatar, Concentration Camps that a for profit, pay-per-head system to wealthy MAWA’s.

trump is the uselful idiot KKKult leader whose sociopathic, criminal, Nazi fascist, narcisstic insatiable desire for Attention, praise, shiny gold things, money, power, control, makes him an easily controlled tool.

I encourage people to understand how a cult works…read articles, watch documentaries..Jim Jones-People’s Temple, Jonestown Massacre, David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, Charles Manson, Scientology, Louis Farrakhan, NXIVM, etc.

It is hard to get out of a cult…it is a cumulative series of events that requires a lot of time, if it happens at all. It affects all walks of life, many who are just lost looking for somewhere to feel a sense of belonging.

Bruce Springsteen this past Saturday night:

“Honesty, honor, humility, character, truth, compassion, humanity, thoughtfulness, decency, morality, true strength - don’t let anyone tell you these things don’t matter anymore, they do.”

It's amazing how every one of these attributes is completely missing with President Dr. Jesus and every one of his disciples across his entire cabinet - even before Dr. Jesus's addled brain began shriveling.

LOL at those disciples' mandatory, Kim Jong-Un style, go-around-the-table Dear Leader ass kissing before every cabinet meeting with Dr. Jesus.

"You want to talk about snowflakes? We have a President that can't handle the truth!!"

No Kings, one Boss.

Don’t get mad…get EVEN. That means spend your time..your effort…your money if you can ..letting these people know that they’re wrong..that you’re not going to support them ..that they’re not doing their job.

Email Welker ..tell her she’s supposed to pushback when she hears an obvious falsehood and let’s it slide. Tell CBS NBC ABC Fox WaPo ALL the corporate media we’re not buying their bullshit..their product..their stock if they aren’t fair and unbiased ..if they don’t stop turning a blind eye to his lies..his schemes..his scams for whatever reasons they do. Tell them it must STOP.

During the Revolution we had men like Thomas Paine..Benjamin Franklin..Paul Revere ..John Adams ..they were able to spread the words of the people through much more dire and physically difficult situations than we have now..they had to ride on horseback ..hide in basements ..spend days getting their words of freedom out to the people while guns and cannons were blaring. We can sit in our homes ..use a keypad and hit SEND and it’s immediately received. DO IT…it’s the least you can do and send to ALL elected representatives who continue to support his lies and spread them ..DO IT.

SUPPORT Independent journalists however you can even if it’s simply reposting them for others to read and share. DO IT…that’s making the playing field EVEN ..that’s balancing truth to propaganda…that’s the battle that must be won to KEEP THE REPUBLIC. Every bit helps..every single effort HELPS.

It’s foolish to believe that all of this shit being dumped into our lives goes away with protests or one election. Democrats will need to win at least two consecutive Presidential elections and control both houses of Congress by firm majorities from 2029 through at least 2036 to remedy even part of the global destruction wrought by the election of 2024, in essence, and to again solidify democratic institutions and processes, fortify human rights, restore respect for science, repair alliances and to maybe pass legislation that benefits common people and advances the nation into a cleaner energy paradigm. Will the benumbed and mostly uninformed or ignorant public, flooded in lies, provide support for this electoral necessity?
