Why are we allowing him to commit billions of dollars worth of grift and corruption?

Why are a lot of Americans, and most of mainstream media, acting like this is normal?

He also gets to have two scoops of ice cream but everyone else can only have one.

Give him THREE scoops and hope his brain freezes!!

Methinks he may have already suffered this fate.

As long as he gets the bigliest portion, the loudest, most expensive TEMU thing to toss as soon as the shine is gone. Ugly Americans indeed.

If a thing is renewably sourced, uses resources wisely and less of, smacks of solar, wind, tides it is removed from consideration. I have a difficult time believing that every fossil fuel executive truly believes this is a good world view. Does not make a good bedtime story. But the money!!! Humans can delude themselves for a few more years, every year warmer, more dangerous. Someone has to tell trump the truth. I volunteer though access is a problem .

And then he takes it with him?! Fuck Pam Bondi for providing cover for this constitutional violation.

Does anyone read The Westpoint History Professor? Please do. Today's seminar, as he calls his posts, is all at once frightening and hopeful.

The f***r gets to KEEP the plane? They just retired the old plane and FOTUS already OWNS a plane and now he's going to own another one he can't even keep in Maralago? What is wrong with this scenario?????

So much corruption. No accountability. Makes one bilious.

Just think what THE PEOPLE could do with one billion dollars.

I'm really impressed by your Substack channel and the fine job you are doing in your posts now on UTube, also !! As you say "what we're all thinking". I agree with you! A devoted subscriber.

This man and his regime will break us—spiritually, morally, and. Also, it seems, financially. His massive personal projects . . . a ballroom, a retrofitted plane, a war . . . all are draining our treasury. There will be nothing left to make the needed repairs when he is gone! And someday, he will be gone. At 83, I can only hope I live to see it.

I can't wait until this man takes his last breath.

The American people cannot rely on hope alone. We all have a choice and if we leave others to deliver the beneficial outcomes of our hopes we may be disappointed. If we ACT upon what we hope for - by getting involved - then we can achieve what is needed to make the hope reality.

Everyone can add to the hoped-for outcome by doing something they might never normally do.

For my part (standing way outside of the problem) I can only encourage those who feel powerless to recognise that this feeling is not a fact, it is just a feeling borne out of fear. YOU, reading this right now, has more power collectively than the cabal running your country . . . into the ground! Take action while you still can, for the sake of your whole country (even for those who have been led astray by the lies of your current leaders).

I hold the Obama's close to my heart. Class one hundred percent class. This does not require any wealth.

Mary Ann Yaeger's avatar

Let's figure out a way to get the Obamas back in the White House. Is Michelle eligible?

Suel J's avatar

Believe that she declined

I'm not sure any sane person would want to inherit and have to fix this Great Big Awful Mess. Let's hope we come up with a team that can, though.

Personally, I’m all for a classless society - perhaps Trump is the perfect role model - How classless can a guy be? 😆

Thank you Heather you have shown me I can’t quit now
