Everyday I look forward to your posts with the in-depth information lacking from main stream media and the sense of hope you engender that if we all pull together we can make it count and America can return to being the great nation it once was

As a Brit I can only really cheer from the sidelines although Trumps actions have international ramifications but you guys have a lot of support out here and we know that by pulling together the great American spirit of freedom and justice will prevail- hang on in there

"..you guys have a lot of support..." is so encouraging to hear.

What a blessing that we can carry hope in the face of horror. I’m new to your writing and appreciate your exposition of both Hs. This evil thieving is NOT “human nature.” I think of it as sub-human. It won’t prevail, but it will leave a terrible wake of destruction.

Thanks Heather - it’s a bit mind boggling to keep discovering new ways for Trump’s Maladmnistration to be increasingly despicable. It feels like riding in a car traveling 80 MPH on a trip to a place no one wants to go, and not being able to stop it. We’re trapped with a demented pedophile driver who’s not even in control.

Maybe if enough of us open the doors and drag our collective feet the resistance can have an effect.

But congress has the authority and ability to get the car pulled over and the driver arrested before the damage cannot be undone . . . if only they would.

And still there are many people who believe the words that he mumbles from behind the podium. What will America be like for our future generations if we don’t continue to speak up, resist and take actions?

I read the above having heard it on the UK news and wondered who in the Trump government have children. Children who are going to be poisoned on the streets by carbon monoxide. Children who will swim in filthy poisoned rivers and seas. Children who will end up working down mines all to make very rich men much richer.

In UK a child died because she lived with her parents on a very busy London road and her asthma was made worst to finally being fatal. Her parents sued and were successful in court.

This is in a country where we take safety precautions to support and care for the planet where we are constantly trying to clean up our rivers and oceans and reduce carbon monoxide.

If your country goes backwards because a dotty old man is being held in power by a group of money hungry dictatorial lunatics, the world is in trouble.

Please watch - Harmony - on Amazon

It is done by The King Charles and it hopefully if viewed widely will explain why what Trump had done is catastrophic.

We’re all boycotting Amazon over here, but we are aware of the damage this reversal will cause.

I have tried but I live a long way from proper shops so I have stopped doing Facebook and Disney instead small beer really something has to stop this madness

Sharon Senkiew's avatar

I agree! I don’t do Disney or Facebook, either. I understand - we have to choose our battles and do what we can.

Trump axed The Endangerment Finding because, like Walter White in Breaking Bad, he’s not afraid of endangerment, he IS the endangerment.

I watched yesterday’s EPA deregulation speech with Trump standing in the back. I was praying he would have his eyes closed for a few seconds longer and topple over. He almost did and that would have been hilarious. I would have loved to hear the White House spin on that. I kept watching him thinking that he looked like a wax statue. He looked half dead. The fact that there were no appearances on Wednesday of him, what was going on behind the scenes regarding his health. He clearly is not a well man both in body and mind.

I find it quite interesting that Trump and his cronies were complaining about people in the Biden administration covering up for his health issues and here we have his administration doing the very same thing.

Now regarding the whole EPA and coal business, I sent Trump a scathing email yesterday telling him that I hope a hurricane demolishes Mar-a-Lago, forest fires destroy his cronies homes and their children end up hospitalized with respiratory illnesses, cancer, etc.

He has signed a death warrant for this planet and every living thing on it. We can only hope that every organization out there that supports the regulations that were in place prior to yesterday goes to court to prevent any of this from being implemented. Think of the people who live in the vicinity of these coal mines. It’s not the billionaires. It is the poor white, black and brown people who have no choice to move somewhere else. Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself and his billionaire friends who prop him up.

I just read your post. It was so spot on and encouraging. Just what I needed for support in this difficult time! Please don’t give up! We all need each other to continue to oppose Trump and his ilk.

These drops in protection by Trumpfuck not only impact humans GLOBALLY, but also ALL LIVING WILDLIFE, including PLANTS and MOTHER EARTH. As a species, humans should evolve over time to facilitate improvements to our planet and make every possible attempt to cleanup/correct/fix the damage that the past uncaring activities have resulted in. There SHOULD BE ZERO GOING BACKWARDS! Trump and his industry suck-buddies only care about $$$ in the present, with no foresight about the future for our young adults, teens, babies, grandchildren, and great grandchildren that have yet to be born BECAUSE THESE ASSHOLES WON’T BE HERE! Sickening STUPIDITY!

GHJ's avatar

Apologies for the curse words. This is so upsetting to me…

Than you, Heather. You are a bright light in the current darkness we are in.

I suddenly realized that in his sick and demented way, Trump is actually creating the conditions for this world to realize the true meaning of love thy neighbor! In the love that is so badly needed in this country and throughout the world, Trump has inadvertently made us think of not our selves alone, but of our neighbors! People r putting their lives on the line for their neighbors! It doesn’t get any better than that. Trump’s plan will backfire, because people r choosing love over hate and it’s growing. Ask yourself only one question…how can I help my neighbor? The answer will b there for u.
