At 7:21 tonight, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, walked straight onto the stage in Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Ohio, and told the crowd how much he liked the “ass” of one of the men he was there to campaign for to keep his position in federal office.
"I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body … and I looked and I watched up and down. I looked at his ass and I looked at the whole... And then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He's got these claws."
The rest of his nearly 1½-hour-long rally showed much of the same bizarre ramblings and just how much Trump seems to be struggling mentally, not even halfway through his second term.
yet she STILL gets criticized for saying it (and only half, according to her; the others needed help that she described and that the press and public ignored), while Trump can call large parts of the population garbage and vermin with no mainstream protest.
The writing is on the wall. Somewhere inside DT's tangled mind, he knows he is beaten. He is desperate, he is staring into the abyss of his own end; a desperate man, who is very dangerous and will do all he can to survive.
I've been reading a great deal from other great writers other than yourself and the feeling is that the tide is definitely turning.
Surely, the disgusting treatment of Ukraine and their charismatic leader President Zelenski, must be a turning point. To use Russia's war against Ukraine as a bargaining chip is so anti- democratic that even some diehard MAGAs must be at least, puzzled. Hopefully, people like Elon Musk will be wondering if they are on the wrong side of History. It won't help their businessess to be among the losers.
There are more of us than them!
Thank you for your continued efforts Heather - you are a PLP!
Please see the books: Consequences: The Rise of a Fractured World Order and How Democracies Die. The Authoritarian play book has been turbo charged by social media and AI. If one does not think for oneself, someone will think for you.
Heather, thank you again for a most marvelous and comprehensive Substack. The phrase "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot" hummed through my mind as I was reading.
“Camelot”, written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe reminded us that the US once had “shining moments.” You haven’t left us with despair, but with hope and visions of humanity.
You highlight Obama, Mc Cain, and George W. Bush, who showed us what competent, compassionate politicians can behave like. We must be reminded that our country was not always like this: disgusting, embarrassing, warlike, treacherous, etc.
Trump's desires; i.e. eliminating the filibuster and ridding our elections of independent observers, are unhidden. Trump is proud of his despotic heroes.
Oh, why doesn’t Trump just order millions of brown shirts and demand every American wear one. Will he be quiet and happy then?
What if the rump is part of ‘gods plan for humanity’? Everything is interrelated, every action affects another action, I.e., the butterfly wing flaps in china causing a hurricane in Florida.
‘God’ by any other name is everywhere and everything. Is a living system like a human body. And the human body gets sores from stress and bad living.
What if we have been bad living in this world, bad behavior, bad thoughts, bad words? And the earth body is sick. And she has developed a cancer. And showing us the symptoms of that cancer. Because it’s affecting the whole earth body, not just the u.s.a. And the name of that cancer is tRump.
A man with no principles, no values, no character is running — and ruining — our country. You’re right— he’s more desperate than ever before.
Clearly he sees the empty seats, he hears the late night comedians mocking him, he knows gas prices and diesel prices and food prices are revealing his incompetence at governing, and his ICE agents are proving his malevolence.
Not sure how he will disrupt the election, but he surely will. Turnout is our only hope. Make turnout so great that it’s too big to rig.
Love one another. Practice Christ-mas every day. Christ-mas means Love More. Trump's karma will take care of Trump. Vote. Thank you Heather. What you report is scary shit. I hope your posts are reaching millions world wide. Trump is a global threat. God has a plan for humanity and Trump is not part of it. The "handwriting is on the wall" for him.
Thank you for your continued resistance and persistence in truth and fact based news analysis. I especially appreciate your willingness to listen to, watch and read rump’s posts. It’s a lot and will get more crazy over next 20 days. The raid on Congresswoman Omar is so outrageous. Keep up the great work!
Excellent article. Your daughter’s painting is truly amazing!
Was Hillary wrong calling Trump supporters deplorables?
No, Mike, she was not.

Dear Heather,
The writing is on the wall. Somewhere inside DT's tangled mind, he knows he is beaten. He is desperate, he is staring into the abyss of his own end; a desperate man, who is very dangerous and will do all he can to survive.

Thank you, Heather. You are the voice we need!
Imagine, missing George Bush. But HDR is right. He is a fundamentally decent man with whom many of us disagree.

thank you Heather! I remember the blue wave in 2023 and the same empty arenas. and then the muskrat rigged it.
He has nothing to offer so he incites the mob.
