Independent journalism is the only news we all should be getting our information from. Having said that, it absolutely pisses me off that even minimally-decent Americans are so fucking apathetic about what is happening, that here we are having to read about this absolute shit show on a daily fucking basis. I quit watching corporate and mainstream media a long time ago, to save my own humanity. And while I continue to pay for independent journalism, I don’t know how much longer I can stomach reading their news reports.

The apathy bothers me too; but I wonder if people are so pressed for time and money that life’s treadmill doesn’t allow them to attend to the situation. I’m not excusing them, but maybe that’s their reason.

Boring? OK, Prez. I propose reporters, etc. stop engaging with this guy because he’s boring. Say it to his face. Double dare ya. A normal person would laugh at the absurdity and stupidity. He ain’t normal.

Boring?

What kind of a message does that send to the service men and women who are in the danger zone. When Trump says he doesn't care about the economy, or doesn't care about the war, where is the outrage? Have we really gotten that numb?

It just confirms his former statement, confirmed by John Kelly, calling fallen troops "suckers and losers"

How is THIS FUCKER still Commander in Chief, let alone president?

The situation is getting worse. The US has a President who openly admits that he couldn't care less about the war in Iran. He acts like a child who's been given a new toy, is bored with it and then throws it out of his pram. Just what do the brave men and women who are fighting for their country make of Trump's handling of the war? They must feel terribly let down.

A had a little problem, and I need your help. "See the full story in the video." I don't like to watch videos. I prefer to read. Two reasons. First, I can go back and reread to be sure I had the facts correctly. This also helps when I go to make a comment, which I often do. Second, I like to watch sports on silent and read . Keep up the good work. Go Canes.

Most Substack have a transcription that is available to read, sometimes a little later. Depending on the columnist, you’ll have to do a little research on how to do it but sometimes you just have to look for a place to click on the intro page

Or go onto the actual Substack app or directly to the web page. The email links sometimes don't have that feature. Or the transcript might come later in time.

I just figured out another way to read it. Go to settings on the side and click the “cc” “closed captions” and you will have subtitles. I didn’t try it but it should work.

How abotu segueing from being an outstanding reporter to becoming a sensational revolutionary?

How about a coup to install a presidential team? Let’s say Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Anne Applebaum, Heather Delaney Reese, and Marianne Williamson. Just picture such warm, smart, human-loving human beings leading our way. If they state that they are taking charge, I’d see so many millions on the streets in Washington that they couldn’t be thwarted. https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/p/my-money-for-your-life

Doing his job? Best to define job. If you mean leader of the free world which WE and the world expected? Well he's all pomp and no circumstance. A very lackluster and disappointing performance indeed. However, if his "job" as defined was to tear up our constitution and rip our country apart, well he's following up on that job description and they've got the perfect foil.

Believe your eyes, not what his minions report. Just lies, lies and more lies.
