Immediately, several thoughts come up. First the contempt that he has for everyone who doesn't personally kiss his feet is beyond words. Then ....his recent responses to say, "he isn't aware" could very well be dementia or....the military and the government is not being run by him but by his regime!

And his regime is made up of incompetent, bootlicking toadies.

Up to a point. The thing is, it’s obvious that whatever they might say, they despise him. But just as he is Putin’s Useful Idiot, he’s his own cabinet’s Useful Idiot, in the way that GWB was the Useful Idiot for Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rove et al. Without him, they wouldn’t be able to access power. None of them would stand a ghost of a chance without him.

For example, I find JD Vance deeply troubling. That he’s an obnoxious, ignorant shithead is no surprise to anyone… but can you name any other VP with a higher profile? Such a high level of visibility? Such executive privilege? I can’t. (Admittedly I’m a pathetic, freeloading European, but I do read the papers and watch the news.) It very much looks like he’s running the show.

It seems to me that the cabinet gets DJT out there to make noise, throw any number of dead cats onto the table and dominate the news cycle, while they get on with the business of demolishing the pillars of state. THAT is a problem, and it’s a problem because all of them are supremely unqualified to be anywhere near their roles.

It’s a very worrying state of affairs indeed.

JD Vance is a despicable creature. No words can express my loathing for him. Like many Republicans—Marco Rubio comes to mind, he is as cruel as they get. He was financed by Peter Thiel one of the Silicon Valley types who are techno-fascists.

He is the heir apparent to DJT and much more intelligent and therefore dangerous. I think DJT was all but told to make him his running mate in turn for the $280 million that the tech bros used to buy the election.

We’re pretty screwed right now with this despicable Supreme Court (John Roberts and Clarance Thomas in particular). Because DJT has immunity while in office he’s running rough shod over everybody.

I am really despairing for my country. Remember that DJT is a Russian asset, so Europe will need to defend itself. The same playbook that is destroying our institutions will be used on NATO next.

Vance was my senator and I didn’t especially like him after I read “Hillbilly Elegy,” which put me off with its arrogance and contempt for others without his good fortune. I voted for the Democratic candidate, and it didn’t surprise me when Vance changed his tune about Trump once Peter Thiel started to fund Vance’s senate run. It only caused me to have more contempt for Vance as someone who would do anything for money.

Yep. I think PINO and crew are actually gearing up for a shot at controlling the whole world. I wouldn't put it pass any of them to release a global pandemic; use the HARP weapon to unleash tornadoes and tsunamis as weapons of mass destruction; poison our water supplies; to cow nations with the threat of nuclear war, etc. These thoughts are bolstered by Musk's actions. The 1st thing he did was attack all of the American emergency response institutions like FEMA and the CDC. Why? So that America can't effectively stave off emergencies that they plan to create is the obvious answer. ... The biggest problem, as I see it, is the scope of the betrayal by our so-called leaders. You're welcome to call me a conspiracy theorist, but I imagine their plans are global, with many cells and elites in dozens of countries patiently awaiting their cue to jump onto this train of destruction.

This " conspiracy " wouldn't surprise me in the least! He's systematically shutting down health centers etc. that help around the world. Especially the ones that treat the elderly and the young.

Expand full comment

You are not a conspiracy theorist; you are telling the truth.

The only thing differing is that what the globalist Democrats did before, you are projecting onto Trump while predicting the doom and gloom for America.

But what Fauci, Obama, Biden, and Gates did by releasing the pandemic into the world is very clear.

Democrat radical lunatics have been controlling the world for decades as well. They used our tax money for that purpose.

Trying to force a nuclear WWIII, is a Democrat evident goal. Using HARP, poisoning the water and the air is something it has been happening for decades, pushed by globalists, Einstein.

Expand full comment

And, for the record, I am definitely a conspiracy theorist. I heartily embrace this label that so many like to throw at me, thinking it will intimidate and silence me. Why? Because what Richard Nixon did during the Watergate debacle was a conspiracy. Chemtrails are a conspiracy. Harp is a conspiracy. Likewise, what the current President in Name Only's regime is engaged in is also a conspiracy. This, too, is truth.

Expand full comment

Doom and gloom under Trump is unfolding right now. This is my focus. The only thing I agree with you on is that this catastrophe of the current American regime has been unfolding for decades. I'm a history buff. The only reason I don't include history in my posts is because so many are doing it and people like Heather Cox Richardson, also on Substack, are doing an excellent job of laying out the facts instead of a bunch of right wing, disinformation bullshit!

You seem full of hatred, TDS makes you to talk falsehoods from the Fake News MSM Apparatchik.

Democrats are pushing war. Do you want sources? It has been evident for three (3) long years with Trump and the entire Obama regime. Trump wants peace. I know war monger democrats hate peace.

Abortion is a religion, a ritual for the democrats, they also sell the baby’s parts and organs making $ Thousands per fetus.

Biden supported Iran a worldwide leader of terrorism by releasing $Billions, he continued the exact same Modus Operandi Obama had by sending loads of cash to Iran.

Iran financed Hamas’ attack to Israel.

Obama and Soros started the war in Ukraine by forcing a color revolution in 2014 installing an anti Russian president.

“Zero evidence for a MS-13 gang”? What are you, an Ukrainian? The MS-13 gang have been in America since the 1980’s , the members of that gang are almost everywhere, for decades the USA have been deporting MS-13 gang members.

Currently the government has caught several high ranking MS-13 leaders that Biden let into the country intentionally .

I can’t believe democrats are that delusional and brainwashed. Please tell me you want evidence of that as well. Tell that to someone from El Salvador and watch how they laugh at you. 😂😂

Trump hasn’t been found guilty of rape by the radical left activist judge. You are

missinforming. E.J.Carol is a lunatic grifter.

By the way Antifa (Transtifa) members are terrorists. Welcome to the world of reality. 😂👇👇👇

Did they gave an opinion on Biden’s cognitive decline m? Why not?

Expand full comment

Hi Javier,

No these Drs did not.. Your comment is obviously sounds more like a snipe at President Biden anyway who is out of office, so why would that matter now??

However, I do know of employee's and Secret Service members who worked or were constantly around him and in private, never found his tentation impaired at anytime.

Unfortunately, due to his stuttering since childhood, there were times he would pause momentarily to collect his thoughts before speaking to try and prevent stuttering..

Perhaps one should have walked at least a mile in his shoes before speaking out??

Expand full comment

Hi Helen, I am aware of Biden’s stuttering. That is not what I am talking about. He was totally impaired and his handlers did not let him talk.

Someone cut his mic in the White House during press meetings.

He was an embarrassment to the American people.

The number of gaffs he has on records is unbeatable.

It is amazing the ability of liberals of ignoring inconvenient facts, turn around and attack the opposition of the same issues. It is called Projection, some people call it Hypocrisy.

It is a dangerous combination of personality disorders for a president to have. He thinks everyone should praise what he does and he can never be content with anything, including the size of his bank accounts.

Hi, Helen, Thank you for commenting on my post. From my perspective, it is so important that we all realize just exactly what the mental disorders we are dealing with are. We need to start thinking, planning, and acting in ways that circumvent and disarm them. I don't believe DJT is the only one in the bunch with this disorder. I also believe DJT is used as smoke and mirrors for the real game the P2025 people are playing behind the scenes. We were not vigilant after January 6. They were only getting started after that, which is not quite exact. They got organized and did deeper strategic planning after 01/06. However, the Republicans, segments of them, have been after this since Joe McCarthy. DJT's mentor was Roy Cohn who also trained Joe McCarthy. This is why people see a similarity between DJT's actions and McCarthy. I'm a survivor of that mess so that's why I watch this so closely. I don't know about MTN or their podcasts. Thank you for the thought, though. Take care.

Look at who was absent from the illegal, unsecured Houthi PC small group chat: the president and the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The acting chairman is the highest ranking, most senior officer in the U.S. military. He is an admiral appointed by President Biden. He is the acting chairman because the current commander-in-chief fired the last chairman and the nominee has not been confirmed.

The acting chairman is loyal to his country, not to Donald Trump.

Donald apparently just staffed out the actual attack planning.

But why was the chairman missing from a discussion of whether or when to attack another country?

It somehow goes down from here."
