As always, thank you for shedding light on the growing darkness. I'm grateful for you.

Thank you Heather for your exposing the corruption and criminality in this regime that is like no other.

The Oz statement at the event of "Trump babies" is also very alarming:

“There are private companies that are now taking advantage of the whole group of individuals who can get access to fertility medications and its treatments that go with them. And if the services get better, we make them more affordable, we’ll have more Trump babies.”

The phrase "Trump babies" reeks of Himmler's plan of Lebensborn: creating more Nazi babies.

But boy oh boy did Twump love that phrase, after he woke up and someone (Oz) told him about it. Father of fertility indeed. What a man! What a dick!

That was extremely disturbing.

About the most disgusting thing yesterday was seeing this display. " Trump babies???" What the fuck does that even mean? Look at them. A bunch of smug offensive white guys who are stupid enough to think that they have any say at all over our bodies. And sham "Dr" Oz. Cuts healthcare on one hand, wonders why women don't have more kids. Cut food benefits, wonders why. No child care, wonders why. The encouragement of misogynistic behavior by this Admin, wonders why. Fuentes anyone?? Admin starts an illegal war that destabilizes the world, wonders why. Poisons the world by loosening EPA regulations that have kept us safer from poisoning the environment? Wonders why. Moves to make voting more difficult for women, wonders why. Cut the bullshit and quit acting like you don't understand. Quit with disgusting ignorant displays showcasing our sad old white man USA bullshit.

The thing that’s Most disturbing to me is that ALL of those people in the picture, are just IGNORING that potus is falling asleep on the job, something many many people are FIRED for… but that some man is reading a proclamation about “fertility” ????

If you’re up in the middle of the night you are up to NoGood ( like any other middle schooler) unless you’re in an Emergency Area saving lives.

NO! Just…NO!

NO ONE has the right in a public arena to call anyone a Moron, and all the other abuse this government hurls at people - where has decent respect gone. I am really horrified.

Last night I started watching ADOLECENCE which has just won 4 Bafta awards.

I had been concerned about watching it as I am not good with violence, and I was pleasantly surprised at how modulated and gentle it is. [the grown ups]

What is the basis- the hatred and awful stuff on the internet spewed out by the Tate Brothers to young men - yes that is the Tate Brothers that are now in USA protected by Trump.

No wonder women are not wanting to date, we have to find a way back to decent kindness and understanding which the internet and the mega rich internet providers don't want us to have.

Please can we start being nice to each other - please

Believe your EYES not their LIES. The biggest moron in that room yesterday was the one dozing at his desk. Aren’t we SICK of him YET???

Plus. I refuse to bring a new life into this craziness. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

My daughter and her friend group of ladies ; all young 30’s, not only will not date a guy who leans right, but they are more interested in insurance covering freezing their eggs so they have plenty of time to see if this country can once again become a place they even WANT to bring a child into

And on a different note, this was a meeting on Maternal healthcare… and not a single black women was in the room. Woken with the highest maternal fatality rate.. and no representation. , but I guess this really was just about making more ‘American babies… aka white babies, or as Oz creepily said, Trump babies

There are never any people of color in the room with Twump unless they are military. Thank you for pointing this out, it needs to be noted every time it happens and it happens daily. There is the boy who carries water, Kash Patel, but I'm hard pressed to think of another POC in the WH. Maybe that press agent who never shows his face because he weighs 400 pounds: he's Asian.

Our country is not white, it is a blend of all races and nationalities and if you live in a city, you know that. New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world for that reason (and yet has never had a female mayor...).

One of the best articles you’ve written. The summary of the consequences and cause of our problems is superb. Let’s see if they are reported by less observant people and repeated in various ways. The next generation just coming into the spotlight, those facing the economic headwinds first, must put together answers that will help them and their younger brethren.

I feel that not only are we fighting a class war, it is a race war and a gender war. Women are angry that they are losing the right to control their own bodies. They hate war. They hate unequal treatment. And you think you can bully them into making babies?????

Mike Ventura's avatar

Those women in the background with trump are a disgrace to their own gender.

The orange buffoon thinks he's fit as he was 50 years ago! Donald, that's a big laugh. Can I direct you to some archive film taken in 1945 of Adolf meeting some very young soldiers? What the camera didn't capture was Hitler's physical deterioration. His hands were clasped behind his back to hide the fact they were shaking, probably the signs of Parkinson's disease.

As for understanding the complexities of fertility- he doesn't have the attention span to read anything about it.

The official White House comment on the photo was to call the reporter “a moron.” This coming from the White House, yet they blame Democrats for the lack of civility in politics today. Can you imagine Biden’s White House press secretary, or Obama’s, or either Bushes’, or even Reagan’s office issuing a statement like that? Be sure to take a friend or two with you when you vote. Volunteer to drive your neighbors if necessary. Ballots, not bullets will fix this disease on our national character.

Very sadly, I have not been “blinking well” since 11-09-2016.

Mike S's avatar

And forgot to mention I’ve had “Kash eyes” since 11-13-2024.

Great post and SO true!

Judy Guenther's avatar

Great insight and discussion of facts that get lost in the flood of daily rants.

Heather...great article, and to the point!

America is failing...quickly, under Donald Trump and his corrupt administration!

And morons continue to support them@
