What a disgrace! What an embarrassment! The whole world is laughing at that deranged trump and America. Even the other dictators (fake allies) are making jokes about this unhinged bloke. Remove him!

Today reading your post could make one very depressed but then I have listened to President Zelensky talking on the radio and being interviewed by Jeremy Bowen - worth a listen, and I am heartened by a truly brave able leader who

Is still fighting for his country and not being bowed by dictators and malicious politicians who try to keep undermining his bravery and stamina.

Today is 4 years. A lot has been lost but not Ukraine may we say a heartfelt prayer for them and carry on standing firm when others are shouting capitulate

What do you expect? The man has no empathy and nothing in common with "average Americans."

He's lived in a privileged bubble...no paper route or grocery bagging or lawn mowing, no school bus rides, no military service. No suburban neighbor network of families, sitting in the bleachers cheering on the kids, working the snack stand. Sad really but no excuse for the cruelty, corruption and complete disregard for human suffering.

Thanks for all your doing Heather, for separating the actual facts from this admin's Propaganda BS machine !! and the uterly disgraceful human being that is DJT !! This house of cards is slowly (not fast enough) coming down !! I cannot in good conscience waste my time or fresh air listening to this POS Pretend POTUS's incoherent BS SOTU !!

Thank you, Heather, for the hope your article gives me. And thank you in advance for watching the SOTU speech tonight. I can’t watch. And I don’t want to add a number to all the people watching so he can pad his ego. I look forward eagerly to what you have to say about it. And I adore your picture of the day idea! Write on!

Thank you Heather. I just upgraded. This is such a great report. I will look to you for analysis of trumps blather tonight. I will not watch it.

My heart hurts for all those parents sitting there. And I thank you for putting yourself through his sick barrage to form it into a palatable form for us to digest. Thank you Heather.

Heather, you do such a great job and breaking things down and I just want to say thank you. That said I will watch tonight along with you, because I want to see his interaction with SCOTUS justices, especially the dreaded 6. I'm also hoping that when he enters the chamber that his sycophants shake his fucking hand so hard that he starts hemorrhaging and well, you get the picture.

Thank you for doing this. I thank you each morning when I read these emails. Thank you for watching tonight, because there is no way I can sit through his voice or look at him. And I love the picture (waiting for the cat picture).

The sounds of his voice makes me sick. So no way I will watch him.

Thank you Heather! I will be watching the “Drain the Swamp” presentation today with my own Senator, Ron Wyden, Miles Taylor and Defiance.org. I am sorry you must Take One for the team by watching that mess and try to interpret it in a way that makes sense to us, your adoring fans. But that is what you do so well for us, thank you so much! Try not to let it get to you the way it would get to me without a doubt. I will look forward to whatever you come up with patiently.

That 11,888 sounds suspiciously close to 11,780 votes he “wanted” from Georgia in 2020.

Oh excellent thought - that’s the proof of liars. There will be some shred of actuality amidst the crazy. I think you’re exactly right. While I’m commenting anyway, the thought has occurred to me that I think that all the negative superlatives for this disgusting piece of flesh have been exhausted. He just needs to leave, or be hastily removed.

Beautiful writing. Thank you

I love your idea of a pic of the day, Joy is precious. Thank you for your coverage!

And yet, I’m guessing not one single person in that room got up and walked out. Which they most certainly should have done. Anyone with an ounce of awareness who was grieving the loss of a child should’ve walked out at his ridiculous, offensive words. And yet they sat there, after having accepted his invitation and showed the world , just by doing so, how they feel about him.

Patricia Poohkay's avatar

An excellent idea but so hard to do under the circumstances. And yet had one person done so, I think there would have been a stampede for the door.

I take comfort in the many talented people of this country who have had enough of this criminal behavior, and have made the decision to run for office to safeguard our democracy. They need our support, so please do whatever you can to ensure their success.
