At 8:34 Eastern time, the President of the United States started his day by giving a live phone interview to Fox & Friends ahead of a day of deep mourning. He chose this early morning conversation so he could pay tribute to a good friend who had died 17 days earlier, ahead of their funeral later that afternoon. With the three Fox hosts sitting on the couch listening to his every word, this was supposed to be a moment of remembrance for the late Senator Lindsey Olin Graham. A chance to honor someone he had repeatedly called “one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known” and one of his closest political allies. Instead, he spent much of the interview describing how he would bring death and devastation to millions of civilians if negotiations with Iran failed.
He was very matter-of-fact and eager to share, "I could take out most of their bridges in less than an hour, less than an hour." Adding, "Bridges take the longest and power plants are second. I can knock out the power plants. Within one day, all of their power plants would be gone." And he kept going, "I think about 91 million people without power, without bridges where they have to live." And he took it even further, admitting that he knew exactly what he would be doing and who he would be hurting if he chose this path, "There's always the desalination plants... and who am I hurting there? I'm hurting the people."
It's extraordinary that the orange Hitler uses the occasion of the memorial service of a colleague to spout on and on about bombing the power plants and infrastructure of Iran. Has the man no sense of decency? Does he not realise that politics has no place in a memorial service? The answer is no, because the Donald has no filter.
On another matter: I saw an item on the news last night about the holiday resort that Ivanka and Jared Kushner want to build in Albania. The area apparently is a haven for wild life. Many Albanians are against this project and are showing their displeasure by demonstrating vigorously. I saw an interview with Ivanka who was waxing lyrical about the project. I nearly punched my TV screen as I couldn't stand her smug little face. I just hope that the Albanian government will listen to his people.
Remember the words of Roy Cohn…the powerful and hateful man who taught trump everything he knows..his mentor..his great friend until Cohn got sick and trump dropped him on the spot……” Donald Trump pisses ice water”
Those 5 words have told us for years exactly who and what he is and he himself shows us over and over and over again every minute of every day of his miserable psychotic life.
He is a man without a conscience..without a heart..without a soul..without a care for anyone..anything.. but himself. He is a corrupt dictator a convicted felon..a rapist..a predator..a possible pedophile..a liar..a grifter..a conceited self centered phony and now a potential war criminal. We KNOW all of that to be TRUE..not only has he shown us himself but he’s also bragged about all of it and he truly DOES NOT CARE.
It’s our decision..do we want to keep the Republic for which we have stood for 250 years or do we turn it over lock stock and barrel to this aberration of a human being?
If we don’t get out and vote in 98 days..get everyone we know out to vote in 98 days..do everything in our power to defeat them in 98 days ..then the future is lost and so is the Republic…it really is that simple.
VOTE like your life depends on it because in so many ways…it does.
If he serves out his term ..which I’m hoping he does not either by impeachment or physical and mental incompetence..we would be stuck for 2 years or less with Vance than in 2028 I would like to see Mark Kelly or a new face like Ossoff or Wes Moore from MD. I think Newsom is charismatic and sharp but his CA issues are pretty strong. The D’s need new fresh blood and no one over 70.
I generally find your commentary spot on, but your contention that Netanyahu has led Trump around by the nose flies in the face of the reality that Trump makes his own decisions, wretched as they are. It’s not that Netanyahu might not have wanted to do as you suggest . Trump thought he had a quick and easy payday like Venezuela, and he went for it. The fact that Netanyahu was a willing and able enabler is true, but it was Trump‘s hubris and dreams of a quick killing that lead him to jump in that briar patch.
I wish the picture you have of Trump sitting at the funeral were panned out just a little to see Marco's face as Trump was slumbering away at his bestie's funeral. I saw it on FB yesterday and Marco's mouth is in a frown, and his eyes appear to be closed but he clearly is looking at the boss with contempt and with little hope on my part, I hope that Marco realizes that they all will be thrown under the buss at the end of this circus of clowns when they are defeated.
I shed no tears for LG, none, and may he rot in hell for eternity.
"He never saw a war he didn't like", what a fucking legacy to leave for humanity.
A while back I said we are heading off a cliff, and fuck, we are off the cliff wondering where the bottom is.
I loathe Trump with the fire of 1,000 suns, but showing someone a box of tik tacs or saying that not everybody liked Lindsay Graham don’t seem noteworthy
she frequently mentions the mid-terms. There are lots of sources about Trump's many many attempts to corrupt the mid-terms, Heather doesn't have to join them yet.
Didn’t watch the funeral of Lyndsey Graham but heard the phone call into Fox & Friends. It’s magnanimous of him to proclaim that another entire country wouldn’t exist without him. Maybe BiBi Netanyahu should just step aside and let those courts in that country he seems to have in all those ongoing legal battles that are across two major fronts: a long-running domestic corruption trial centering on three specific cases and an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) start proceeding. Of course BiBi denies all charges of wrongdoing. Who knows maybe we in this country could reap the benefits of that countries resources like we have not seen from Venezuela’s oil in the which this same individual decided to go in the middle of the night and capture that sovereign nations leader and his wife. So many countries this demented individual sees himself the leader of and should pay homage too. All those other countries he just announces his intentions of invading from Greenland, to Cuba, Panama because of that canal and let’s not forget Canada. All the while that same demented individual is staging an illegal war in Iran and planning on bombing bridges and taking out those desalination plants, that gives drinking water to millions of people. Whatta guy to give a eulogy to his golf buddy, Lindsay all the while he even proclaims that Lyndsey stunk at the game of golf and Lyndsey just “loved war”. Damn Lyndsey’s passing got a eulogy that he couldn’t even play golf without him, loved war and just like all those countries he really didn’t even exist without him. Yea whatta guy… who couldn’t even stay awake when others spoke about Lyndsey and couldn’t even get one of those TicTacks into his mouth.. Well he is #1 on TicTack...
Possibly Lyndsey Graham should have stuck with John McCain’s and Joe Lieberman’s ideology, morals and values and could have been remembered that way, instead… there’s no third amigo meeting up with John and Joe…
For years Netanyahu has maneuvered to get the US to attack Iran. In Trump he finally found a patsy stupid enough to do it. That fact has been apparent since Trump started his Iran war. In this latest FOX interview, Trump has, in so many words, admitted the his "friend," Bibi, is calling the shots.
It seems that perhaps Bibi has also convinced Trump that he has nothing to loose by ordering our military to commit war crime atrocities. After all, Trump will probably be dead by time the Hague can take any action. Who cares about the people forced to commit those crimes in hus name or the thousands of victims?
WAKE UP WASHINGTON! I am sure all of you heard your boss on Fox News discussing what amounts to war crimes. My question to every last one of you. What are you going to do about it? By standing by and allowing him to commit these crimes you are all culpable.
I feel for our military who are going to have to carry out these crimes. If anyone who is reading this has family in the military tell them all to refuse orders coming from Trump and Hegseth. Trump is clearly not in his right mind.
The next time Trump leaves the US I want him arrested for the crimes he has already committed (bombing the school) for one. There will be more to come.
“Which leaves us with the question that every person in this country and every leader on this planet is grappling with. How do you negotiate with this person? How do you build trust with someone who has no consistency, accountability, or record of keeping his word? How do you stabilize the world long enough for him to finish his term in office when this is the sort of empty person in the position?” You don’t, because you can’t.
I despise everything about Trump and his term has been nothing short of a disaster. But I blame the GOP Congress who have every legal right to stop all of this corrupt and anti-constitutional administration, but instead choose to defend it. We need to stop focusing on the madman in the Oval Office, and put the responsibility where it truly lies- the MAGA Congress.

There's drug money involved in the whole transaction. Look it up. Kushners are stealing the island
As much as I appreciate 'psychophants', I think you meant 'sycophants'. Keep up the good work!
I thought that was a pertinent extra element ...
I think psychophants is more accurate and that HDR wrote what she meant.

So who do you want to replace him?
If he serves out his term ..which I’m hoping he does not either by impeachment or physical and mental incompetence..we would be stuck for 2 years or less with Vance than in 2028 I would like to see Mark Kelly or a new face like Ossoff or Wes Moore from MD.

A DEMOCRAT, like Senator Mark Kelly!!!!!
I only wish we didn’t need to wait until the next Presidential election.
“Ask not how America chose Donald J. Trump. Ask what you can do to stop him and his atrocities.”
Is the writer of this substack offering you any ideas on how to accomplish that?? Why not?

Haven’t you heard? Trump is #1 on TicTac!😂
🤣
Lindsey Graham knew better…

How disappointing to learn that Lindsey Graham WASN’T BETTER.
Thank you, Heather 🙏🏼 98 days and counting.
I’m guessing it’ll be a shit show. Vote early if you can, and I wouldn’t rely on the USPS if don’t have to.
Haven't heard her mention anything about voting yet.
she frequently mentions the mid-terms. There are lots of sources about Trump's many many attempts to corrupt the mid-terms, Heather doesn't have to join them yet.
Thank you Heather

I wonder, if at DJT's funeral, those present will all close their eyes and have a little nap.
Cute picture of your "non"-lap dog by your side.
