The only way I can deal with this right now is to pretend it’s Monopoly money. Pardoning the Jan 6 th rioters should have been it for the entire country. But here we are thanks to folk like Mitch McConnell, Justice Roberts. We must remain optimistic, it’s exhausting.

Absolutely horrendous.

It's beyond me how any sane and reasonable person can be ok with this.

just a quick note - i appreciate what you write very much, and i cannot share it on fb because i will not post a picture of him, and i've heard from many who feel the same. Is there any way to have a different image so i may share your posts?

I think she would be fine if you just copied and pasted her work into a new post in your wall as long as it had her name as the author clearly shown….it might even get her more subscribers - and for sure we need to support our independent journalists at a time like this❤️

How does using taxpayer money for this purpose evade any sort of scrutiny by Congress? It's a real question.

As sad as this is, 1.7M is a lot less than 10M...what happens to the part about future audits of Trump etal?

Patricia Poohkay's avatar

Think you intended 10 billion $’s?

Lee Sonderman's avatar

Yes…I can’t even get my mind around that many zeros

Patricia Poohkay's avatar

Whoa, Lee! Me neither. I can’t also get my mind around how one very awful person could pretty much destroy absolutely everything he touches - or that even comes near him. And it’s hard for us here too, because everything that happens for you all, happens for us as well. We in Alberta have our very own trump imitator. We too are in trouble. I fear for all of us. Just so that you know, we’re here for you too. Be well. Take care. 🇨🇦 with love.

WE love our Canadian neighbors. Especially Michiganders.🩷

And I am soooo sorry you are dealing with a Tramp-wanna-be. What a freaking nightmare.

Patricia Poohkay's avatar

Oh - she is. She’s a most vile and evil creature. We’d really like her and her cult to leave already.

Here we go again. Rampant corruption, self-serving schemes and appalling behavior by Trump, episode #.. at least 484, being roughly the number of days since his inauguration. That dreaded date Jan 6th rears its ugly head once more, reminding me to reiterate those questions from the last election:

How come, constitutionally, legally and morally, Trump was allowed to stand for and was awarded the Republican nomination for the 2024 Presidential election, since he refused to accept the results of the 2020 election? What other President has not done this, gracefully, albeit reluctantly? "It was a free and fair fight...."

How come his behavior leading up to, and on, Jan 6th was similarly deemed as acceptable?

For those two acts alone, the current sorry world state of affairs should have been nipped in the bud. Never mind the Presidency, he should not have been able to hold any future political office.

Thank you, Heather.

Recommendation to US readers:

* Scale Heather's investigation content and sources into letters to your representatives

* Use AI if needed to assist, i.e. https://democracy.io/

* 1 or more letters a day scales into volumes that your representatives can't ignore

* Sending letters proves that:

- constituents are watching

- know the details of unacceptable actions and in-action

- expect their representatives to live up to their promises and oaths of office

- vote.

Of all the horrendous things he’s done this year, and there are MANY, this is the most horrific thing he’s done.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Mary Ann Yaeger's avatar

How is that even remotely legal and surely this really can be prevented...right?????

$12 billion deficit. Zero in six months. The rich are panicking. Fox is lying. Your Facebook feed is full of MAGA grandpas screaming "loan" because they can't read a Comptroller's report. I can.

I did.

Here's what they're hiding from you, what Mamdani actually pulled off, and which loopholes the billionaires already built into the bill. Stop letting them lie to you.

Most disgusting piece of crap coming out of Trumpstein’s Administration. Why do we have to give millions of American Taxpayer dollars to convicted Insurrectionists. Ok they were essentially, illegally pardoned; but this is nothing for which our Nation should have to give reparations. More POS GRIFTING!

The ugliness increases… dangerous sign of his combined malignant narcissism and dementia…. Worsening ….. I’m unsure if those around him will actually do anything….I sometimes believe they want him to continue what he’s doing vs fear of intervention….

I am beyond sickened. And I wonder how you can keep writing about all this gruesome killing of the idea of Democracy. But I hope you continue. It makes my blood boil, and gives me hope that many others and I will successfully terminate this corrupt administration!

This one I cannot listen to Heather. It makes me sick beyond description. But I wish you all well. 🇨🇦
