I cannot believe the fate of the entire fucking nation is in the hands of this asshole. I don't want to have to worry about this shit anymore. How is it so hard for so many Americans to be kind, decent people and vote for the same? The biggest loss in all of this is my faith in the inherent goodness of the average American. Even if he loses again, I will never be getting that one back again.
We might ask how hard was it for Germans - who were, like most trying to do their jobs and raise their families, kind, decent people - to support Hitler in the 1930s.
The answer is that Hitler was promising all kinds of things, had a solid following - of the worst sort of Germans - and Germans had in inherent faith and desire in themselves to control their own land.
Donald Trump is following the exact same playbook. He promises glory - but of course cannot deliver, and instead would bring chaos and destruction - and is playing all Americans, especially his most devoted followers, for saps.
I have a Jewish friend who is an expert on Hitler and anything to do with WWII. He said Trumpet is actually worse than Adolf Hitler. He said Hitler had the capacity to love a few people and he loved his dog. I have heard Trump hates animals and I can see him abusing them. He loves to say ".......treated like a dog." I believe dogs should be treated better than most people, because they deserve to be.
I’m not convinced he truly loves himself. People with self love don’t need others to continually praise them and stroke their egos. I think he hates himself, too, but disguises his self hate by constantly telling everyone how great he is.
I agree, H12thDoc. Anyone or anything he creates is superior - more superior than the most superior. He must be proud of Donald Jr. and Eric too.....the gifts that keep on giving.
Pure sarcasm on my part. He loves to humiliate the two sons any chance he gets and blames them for anything that goes wrong. Nobody screws up more than the Orange Stain on Humanity.
MAGA is nothing but a bunch of stinking white supremacist Nazi's. They are hate filled people! The Nazi party was attacking people before Hitler fully rose to power. Look at Jan. 6th. People killed and injured at the state capital. Hitler thugs were no better than the asshole MAGA Thugs!
Skyring, Germans supported Hitler because he struck fear into their hearts if they didn't support/follow him which is exactly what Donald Trump is doing in his campaign. ' I have the right to go after and prosecute anyone and every one who has opposed me, who has been 'unfair' to me' says Trump. Hitler's brown shirts were patrolling the streets looking for everyone who may have dissed him back then. Hitler targeted the Jew s out of hatred and revenge, Trump is targeting Haitians, Latino/Latinas, anyone who isn't white. Trump's right hand men, like Steven Miller and Steve Bannon are today's brown shirts. Everyone should be afraid but no one who is afraid should vote for Trump. Do what you can to convince 10, 20, 30 Independents, Republicans, family and friends to vote Democrat. This is how democracy will survive. Make no mistake. It is at risk. Do something, anything.
Hitler tapped into the resentment of the German people at the economic hardships caused by the Treaty of Versailles. He then scapegoated the Jewish people, along with people with disabilities, LGBQ, Roma peoples, communists, anyone who didn't fit into the "master race" crap. Fascism needs scapegoats because fascism is a hate based strategy.
I think he watches films of Hitler too. He even shakes hands the way Hitler did. He grabs a person's hand, pulls them toward him in a jerking manner, then holds on long enough to make the person feel uncomfortable.
DonOLD also said that if he fails it will be Jews responsible. (Speech to Israeli/American Council) I think people are still convinced he will manage the economy because of that damned TV show, they refuse to consider any other news about him.
I am floored every time I hear someone say he would be better for the economy. The people who say he would be great because he is a "businessman." Leaves me speechless. Everything he touches turns to crap. He has not had a successful business, runs everything into the ground, and doesn't pay anyone he owes money to. Any person entering his orbit should prepare to have their lives and reputations ruined. He is loyal only to the disgusting image he sees in the mirror. He feels human beings were put on Earth to serve him. Even when his first wife died he had to find one last way to use her.
Notwithstanding the obvious fact that business success is not indicative of the skills necessary to run government. We can’t fall for the myth that business always does things better than government.Nor is the opposite true (that would be socialism).
I still cannot believe Jr., Eric, and Vanky allowed him to bury their mother on the crappy golf course, just so he could get a tax break. Such disrespect. What is wrong with them?
DNA and lack of parenting skills? There is no bottom to his pit and I don't even know what to say about the three he had with Ivana. The two sons appear to be idiots allergic to truth. I don't know much about Vanky, but it can't be good.
I can't get through Mein Kampf. It is the most turgid tripe. It is the sort of book Don Trump would write if he were able to write more than a few words at a time.
Ivana, the wife he buried stonless beside the green on hole #13 .....I beilieve said that Orange kept a copy of Mein Kampf beside his bed.....(never opened it, just waved his fucking stupid accordian hands at it)
Mein Kampf means “my struggle” auf Deutsch (in German). When I retired a few years ago I tackled “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. Lots of parallels to the MAGA method of operation. The “brown shirts” were similar to the militia groups such as Proud Boys and Oath-keepers. It ‘s a large volume and there are numerous parallels right down to MAGA and Conservative duplicity.
I don't remember now, but i "think" i had to read for a German class. Now i need to read a summary to jog my brain. I'm sure it's a book you don't forget, but i have.
Why try and embarrass the poster? We all know what he/she is referring to. By pointing out mistakes in spelling like that it just inhibits and can even prevent someone from sharing their opinions. Is it really worth it? People can just use the correct spelling in a reply that references it, as in "my take on Mein Kampf was" therefore politely using it correctly without making fun of someone
yes! Last night I attended a Michigan Women for Harris event. Over 50 likeminded women attended from 8 or 9 small towns in a definitely red part of the state It felt really great to het together and not be afraid to talk politics. I get depressed seeing all the Trump signs.
Lisa, I second that. Check out mine for weekly posts on how to be a human when everything sucks. The Deep End. BTW, I wrote a book on cats--Thank God for Cats. It's funny and has killer illustrations. We could exchange subs?
Very wise Lisa Beck, we can’t waste energy drain on the anger, betrayal, disappointment, disgust, frustration and upset of our fellow Americans, having fallen under the mesmerizing spell of “djt” ( I prefer not to give him more space than that). It’s true, even as they are oblivious of what they are doing to themselves and us, our entire country. Their denial of the facts and truth to choose to support an evil person and his movement, meant to prop an egomaniac up as Emperor or what the delusional guy plans to label himself would be if he got his coup. God Forbid!
Our challenges are how do we process all our natural feelings, use the energy they generate in us in a healthy way, for good of our country,fellow citizens, & ourselves? We’re commenting here, refining positive ways to pass the urgent messages on to as many, as widely as feasible. As able donating time to register Vote Blue Voters, Postcards, campaign volunteers, $$$$$Donatations…. you cab add more and pass it on for sure!
Yes, I subscribe to upbeat substacks too! And I turn CNN off as soon as they ask the opinion of the Trumpists. I’ve gravitated more toward MSNBC this week, so much more upbeat!! Not to mention those legal eagles like Glenn Kirschner who can explain what these filings and rulings mean. I wish I could get my hands on the yard sign that says Republican but not voting for Trump. I usually don’t think yard signs are “good” but for this last time
If we were willing to follow DJT's inane example of grade-school name calling, Mary has suggested one perfect for the cause: 'Depraved Donald!' (demented Donald, dastardly Donald, deceiving Donald, work too)... = )
It has been said, that 'Freedom Requires Eternal Vigilance'.... DJT is a LOSER who has been gifted with a lot of $$$ through-out his life... He has wasted most of it... Now DJT is mostly supported by Fools... DJT corrupts everything that he touches... Look at SCOTUS... Look at how DJT has used the Legal System... Look at JD Vance, a Yale Law Graduate... We can hope to eventually prevail this November 2024, but the Struggle-Must-Go-On...
I’ve said it since he was first elected: Our country will never recover from a donald trump presidency. Even if he never holds public office again, he will have left a permanent & ugly stain on us as a nation and as individuals. It’s so heartbreaking what this man has done to us.
I agree. He has done irreparable harm to this country's unity, or whatever was left of it after other previously contested elections. Additionally, his glaring narcissism should serve as a huge red flag as to how low he will go to toady himself and seek the approval of dictators and others with the absolute power that he craves, hence his cozying up to Putin, who exudes, in his mind, the bravado and power that he wants others to see in himself.
His childish name-calling seemed to be aimed toward attracting the "poorly educated" whom he made a point of saying he "loves". By making a point of mentioning them specifically, he was actually insulting them. He knew, though, that he could win over a population of people who feel disenfranchised by a country which places a high value on professional-level jobs, like his, taken up by college-educated people, like he is, and by mocking those in his administration who had high level, high paying positions.
His firing people at will demonstrated his assumed power as an extension of his CEO position in his "The Apprentice" TV show. In contrast, by seeming to put himself on the level of average, ordinary people, he made them feel more important and included in his inner circle. They viewed his bravado domestically and internationally as demonstrating the leadership skills to defend us against our adversaries. Instead of viewing his cozy relationship with dictators as treasonous, they viewed it as maintaining peace with no new wars even though he freed 5,000 Taliban members who then infiltrated Afghanistan, yet they criticize Biden for actions in the botched withdrawal of troops. Trump set that up to fail.
According to the "Times-Republican" regarding Biden's troop withdrawal, "This colossal failure of leadership cost the lives of 13 brave American servicemembers, portrayed weakness on the global stage, and left more than $7 billion in U.S. military equipment behind, which has since fallen into the hands of the Taliban. The entire operation was an embarrassment and is a stain on the already poor record of the Biden-Harris administration."
However, according to factcheck.org, "The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal.
And the Trump administration kept to the pact, reducing U.S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500, even though the Taliban continued to attack Afghan government forces and welcomed al-Qaeda terrorists into the Taliban leadership."
This is why his supporters don't like to fact check what they hear and hate those who do.
Think Sean Spicer was his first briefing room mouthpiece. Followed by, Kayleah "empty binder, i can flip thru and read off blank pages, i look smart and can't answer a single question. " Sean got smart and resigned.
If you read my book you will get it back. It explains how Trump happened. Our schools did this to us. I’m a former teacher who wrote a book exposing they’d corruption that deprived our country of real education. It explains why no one knows. It’s called A Graver Danger by Karen Horwitz. I’ll be running a 99 cent promo soon. Send your email to me at teacherkh which is at aol.com and I’ll notify you. It will all make sense.
"The biggest loss in all of this is my faith in the inherent goodness of the average American. Even if he loses again, I will never be getting that one back again."
Andy: I hope you will regain your faith in the inherent goodness of people. I believe most are good. News tends to show the bad acts of others rather than good acts. Please do not give up. I don't know you. However, there is no doubt in my mind that you are a wonderful person and is a blessing to those that know you. Wishing You and Yours Best Days.
Traitor is defined as: one who betrays another's trust or is false to an obligation or duty.
TFG fits this description to a T. As POTUS he took an oath to protect and defend The Constitution of the United States. That is being a traitor.
The punishment for treason in the United States is death or a minimum of five years in prison, a fine of at least $10,000, and a lifetime bar from holding any federal office:
Why is he running for public office at this time? Can republicans read? Do they understand our laws?? I realize my comments ate moot, but seriously, why is he allowed to run for public office? Why isn’t he in prison????
The Founding Fathers were the oligarchy. After Europeans invaded this country - after invading Africa - they came here. They were the oligarchy. The Cinstitustion was written to keep them in power. They fought democracy. the House of Representatives had no power. It was created to give the commoner the thought they were participating in the government. The Senate was made up of the oligarchy. They picked, not the people, who was to be in the Senate...They believed the commoner did not have the knowledge nor ability to know what was best. Only the rich did.
Does this sound familiar. Just read 2024 WEF agenda. The same thing. They've decided they are to own everything, control everything, incl us. This is where the "you will have nothing but be happy" came from: The New World OrderThe Great Reset.
Yes, in any other upper-level position, in the private sector, behavior such as his would have been grounds for immediate dismissal with no severance pay and extended benefits. People may even be barred from communicating with him so that he couldn't use them to retaliate. He would be lucky if he didn't get sued if something bad happened to the country as a result of his actions after dismissal.
Just this afternoon, I cast my mail-in ballot for Harris-Walz IN A SUBURBAN COUNTY OF PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA! I didn't take any chances with the US mail at all and went directly to the county courthouse to put the ballot in the drop box. 🤩
Well, the box was actually in the lobby of the courthouse "government center annex ," with armed security guards directing me, so I felt pretty confident that the ballot would be safe! 😄
Get your 🍿ready. It’ll be fun to watch him get hammered by the courts. I’ve always had a feeling his time is coming, bigly🤣 I love when people use that stupid word Conold made up.
if grump loses the 2024 election, the case is so strong that it is extremely likely there will be a conviction. If Grump wins the 2024 election, this case will be dismissed.
So get out and VOTE!!!
As It Happens Oct 3 2024
is a weekday prime time Canadian CBC radio magazine show. They did a good segment on Jack Smith's released documents. Below is a link to the archived audio stream. The segment can be found between the following timestamps
Prayer never hurts, as long as it’s a positive vibration sent into the atmosphere is my feelings about these things. I have a long time friend who always considered herself an atheist. Yet she has always had a compassion, kindness, empathy and sense of respect, sensitivity, understanding, reverence for nature, that seemed to me more spiritual than many religious people.
I shared this with her one day, with the clarity I’d no agenda nor interest in “convincing” her she needed to find a religion, mine or anyone. She was appreciative of my acceptance and viewpoint, as she’d often felt so herself, surprised to hear this from an active Christian. She was interested in how I came to feel as my feelings were rare in her experience. My parents had been in a religious cult, my friends all went to Sunday school and I wanted to go too. So I asked my classmates where they went to church, and lived near us. and asked they could ask their parents if I could go with them, too. One said yes.
My mom had been the one who told me she wanted to go, and their “group” encouraged it. My dad wouldn’t go, “he knew more than all the minister & priests, wouldn’t waste time on their blather.” In the ‘50’s mom didn’t drive yet, a bus stopped near by. So I told my mom, I had a ride to Sunday School, could I go? Reminded her she kept telling me their group said, “ and children should go to Sunday School, now I can. Mom said, Yes, you can go! I’d been praying, “If You want me to go, help me find a way”
good vibes or …. over the years I’ve experienced more than a few miracles since.
Wonder how the Suprene Court protects Trump on this one.Jack Smith beat them at their own game. And he us right. Trump was acting as a candidate not President
Regardless of whether he was president or not, I fail to see how inciting an insurrection to prevent the certification of Biden's win, which is what this trial is about, would be considered an "official act".
Not to change the subject, but I drove from NJ to central Florida yesterday and today and listened to your incredible story, “Who Could Ever Love You.” I laughed… I cried. At one point I had to stop at a rest area and walk it off. I still have a bit left. But I’ll read those last pages in the hard copy tonight— thanks, E. Jean for gifting me a copy!
Don't count on it. He and the alt-right media already have them programmed to believe that any news that is bad about him is "fake news" and programmed to not fact-check him.
Meidas Touch has downloaded the case/evidence document Jack Smith has filed for Grump's election interference case, and they walk you through it in this video:
Meidas Touch Judge REJECTS Trump Request, RELEASES File TO PUBLIC
I’m so glad you brought up that name. Fox is relevant to everything Trump is and does. When people keep asking how so many voters can support such a horrid human being, it’s easy. Fox. They watch Fox and nothing else. (And it goes without saying they’re not reading anything.) Fox is a well-oiled machine that grinds out kool-aid flavored propaganda.
Well, through our own stories and experiences we share in our communities. Fox is not a community. It's a TV channel. Can you imagine how isolated someone is who just stays at home and watches one TV channel? I mean, Grump does that. Neither you or I are in his bedroom to see it, yet we know, because the story has been retold by credible sources within each of our communities. And, a third of the USA borders Canada which is within the reach of Canadian Television and radio. These are outside of Trump's influence. And, NPR, PBS, and PRX mandate is to provide an objective source of news when private media is not able to. And, there are organizations like meidastouch, linchon project, Mary trump media, Kieth olberman who advertise, or have a reputation as community leaders, that try to bring balance to the coverage. it's a matter of getting involved in your community to spread the news.
Of course the American people deserve to know what’s happening with this case, It’s us vs Donald Trump. The Constitution allows a speedy trial for defendant. What about the victim? One needs to ask “Since Trump says he’s innocent we should ask why he didn’t demand a speedy trial? Because we all know why.
I cannot begin to tell you how so very tired I am of Trump and his antics. I just want things to be like they were before he came into our lives, he has done nothing but create chaos for everyone. I always feel so depressed when I listen to him and his crazy nonsense. Give me back our undivided America and peace in our lives again.
I cannot believe the fate of the entire fucking nation is in the hands of this asshole. I don't want to have to worry about this shit anymore. How is it so hard for so many Americans to be kind, decent people and vote for the same? The biggest loss in all of this is my faith in the inherent goodness of the average American.

We might ask how hard was it for Germans - who were, like most trying to do their jobs and raise their families, kind, decent people - to support Hitler in the 1930s.

I believe dogs should be treated better than most people, because they deserve to be.
And he calls women “dogs”.. dislikes both.
Title 18 USC §2381 - Treason
He is incapable of loving anyone but himself. Even his creepy obsession with Ivanka is because she is of him, his creation.
I’m not convinced he truly loves himself. People with self love don’t need others to continually praise them and stroke their egos. I think he hates himself, too, but disguises his self hate by constantly telling everyone how great he is.
I agree, H12thDoc. Anyone or anything he creates is superior - more superior than the most superior. He must be proud of Donald Jr. and Eric too.....the gifts that keep on giving.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic. He certainly does not treat who Steve Schmidt refers to as Uday and Qusay very well.
Pure sarcasm on my part. He loves to humiliate the two sons any chance he gets and blames them for anything that goes wrong. Nobody screws up more than the Orange Stain on Humanity.
If you want insight into a person, watch how they regard animals. Says it all. And my cats say he smells funny too. EEWW.
I agree. I heard Hitler was concerned about shellfish.
Exactly. As far as I’m concerned, MAGA = Nazi. Full stop. ✊🇺🇸🌊😎
MAGA is nothing but a bunch of stinking white supremacist Nazi's. They are hate filled people! The Nazi party was attacking people before Hitler fully rose to power. Look at Jan. 6th. People killed and injured at the state capital. Hitler thugs were no better than the asshole MAGA Thugs!

he didnt have mien camp beside his bed for nothing he had his nanny read to him to fall asleep
Actually it was a book of Hitler’s speeches. He could never have gotten through Mein Kamph.
I can't get through Mein Kampf. It is the most turgid tripe. It is the sort of book Don Trump would write if he were able to write more than a few words at a time.
Ivana, the wife he buried stonless beside the green on hole #13 .....I beilieve said that Orange kept a copy of Mein Kampf beside his bed.....(never opened it, just waved his fucking stupid accordian hands at it)

Mein Kampf means “my struggle” auf Deutsch (in German). When I retired a few years ago I tackled “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. Lots of parallels to the MAGA method of operation.

Yes and Trump's men like Steven Miller and Steve Bannon are in charge of the brown shirts.
Miller looks more like Goebbels than Roebm😉 but then again, he has all the evil intentions.
I don't remember now, but i "think" i had to read for a German class. Now i need to read a summary to jog my brain. I'm sure it's a book you don't forget, but i have.
Kev, Mate its Mein Kamph… not being pedantic or judgy, just if its any use to you in the future….
Loved your comment… I would also say that The Orange Numpty has far thinner skin than AH… He’s a bully but also a coward… Bad News!
Why try and embarrass the poster? We all know what he/she is referring to. By pointing out mistakes in spelling like that it just inhibits and can even prevent someone from sharing their opinions. Is it really worth it? People can just use the correct spelling in a reply that references it, as in "my take on Mein Kampf was" therefore politely using it correctly without making fun of someone
Amen. It has been devastating to lose my faith in fellow Americans.
yes! Last night I attended a Michigan Women for Harris event. Over 50 likeminded women attended from 8 or 9 small towns in a definitely red part of the state It felt really great to het together and not be afraid to talk politics. I get depressed seeing all the Trump signs.

I can't believe that the fate of the nation could be in the hands of the corrupt Supreme Court.
The fate of the World, who, BTW, is watching.
Right there with you. I always leave my house on guard and with my head on a swivel and I live in the burbs.
Sounds like me. I'm one of few mixed races in my suburban subdivision and I'm in a red state. Constantly watching my back.
I totally agree
It has been said, that 'Freedom Requires Eternal Vigilance'.... DJT is a LOSER who has been gifted with a lot of $$$ through-out his life... He has wasted most of it... Now DJT is mostly supported by Fools... DJT corrupts everything that he touches... Look at SCOTUS... Look at how DJT has used the Legal System... Look at JD Vance, a Yale Law Graduate...

Please, never lose your faith in your fellow countrymen. We will win, of this I am sure!
I hope you are right.
I fully agree with you.
The Republican Party will be dead to me.
I’ve said it since he was first elected: Our country will never recover from a donald trump presidency. Even if he never holds public office again, he will have left a permanent & ugly stain on us as a nation and as individuals. It’s so heartbreaking what this man has done to us.

However, according to factcheck.org, "The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal.
And the Trump administration kept to the pact, reducing U.S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500, even though the Taliban continued to attack Afghan government forces and welcomed al-Qaeda terrorists into the Taliban leadership."
This is why his supporters don't like to fact check what they hear and hate those who do.
Think Sean Spicer was his first briefing room mouthpiece. Followed by, Kayleah "empty binder, i can flip thru and read off blank pages, i look smart and can't answer a single question. " Sean got smart and resigned.
If you read my book you will get it back. It explains how Trump happened. Our schools did this to us. I’m a former teacher who wrote a book exposing they’d corruption that deprived our country of real education. It explains why no one knows. It’s called A Graver Danger by Karen Horwitz. I’ll be running a 99 cent promo soon. Send your email to me at teacherkh which is at aol.com and I’ll notify you. It will all make sense.
"The biggest loss in all of this is my faith in the inherent goodness of the average American. Even if he loses again, I will never be getting that one back again."
Right there with you on this one. WTF!
Andy: I hope you will regain your faith in the inherent goodness of people. I believe most are good. News tends to show the bad acts of others rather than good acts. Please do not give up. I don't know you. However, there is no doubt in my mind that you are a wonderful person and is a blessing to those that know you. Wishing You and Yours Best Days.
Andy, I whole heartedly agree with you!
Traitor is defined as: one who betrays another's trust or is false to an obligation or duty.
TFG fits this description to a T. As POTUS he took an oath to protect and defend The Constitution of the United States. That is being a traitor.
The punishment for treason in the United States is death or a minimum of five years in prison, a fine of at least $10,000, and a lifetime bar from holding any federal office:
Why is he running for public office at this time? Can republicans read? Do they understand our laws?? I realize my comments ate moot, but seriously, why is he allowed to run for public office? Why isn’t he in prison????
he's running because he thinks it will keep him out of jail or prosecution of his crimes
That’s the main reason he’s running. He’ll do, and say anything trying to avoid incarceration. Period.

I would vote for my dog, and I don’t have a dog.
I want to enter my smart cat in the run for office. She could beat Trump, she is smarter and a hell of alot nicer than the orange one.
I would vote for a corpse before I’d vote for Trump.
Unfortunately the founding fathers that wrote the Constitution, never dreamed this would happen and didn't include something like that.
The Heritage Foundation, through Project 2025, has requirements out the wazoo for qualifying to be a Trump lackey.
To qualify to be President of the United States, the Constitution has only two.
It's harder to adopt a cat than it is to become President.
A failure of imagination on the part of our Founding Fathers had led us to this.
The Founding Fathers were the oligarchy. After Europeans invaded this country - after invading Africa - they came here. They were the oligarchy. The Cinstitustion was written to keep them in power. They fought democracy. the House of Representatives had no power. It was created to give the commoner the thought they were participating in the government. The Senate was made up of the oligarchy. They picked, not the people, who was to be in the Senate...They believed the commoner did not have the knowledge nor ability to know what was best. Only the rich did.
Does this sound familiar. Just read 2024 WEF agenda. The same thing. They've decided they are to own everything, control everything, incl us. This is where the "you will have nothing but be happy" came from: The New World OrderThe Great Reset.
Yes, in any other upper-level position, in the private sector, behavior such as his would have been grounds for immediate dismissal with no severance pay and extended benefits. People may even be barred from communicating with him so that he couldn't use them to retaliate. He would be lucky if he didn't get sued if something bad happened to the country as a result of his actions after dismissal.
Just this afternoon, I cast my mail-in ballot for Harris-Walz IN A SUBURBAN COUNTY OF PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA! I didn't take any chances with the US mail at all and went directly to the county courthouse to put the ballot in the drop box. 🤩
Put my ballot in my city’s drop box yesterday too💙💙
I put mine in the hands of the township clerk, not trusting the drop box
Well, the box was actually in the lobby of the courthouse "government center annex ," with armed security guards directing me, so I felt pretty confident that the ballot would be safe! 😄
It’s a shame it’s come to that. ✊🇺🇸🌊😎
The US Mail in California is largely staffed by immigrants from The Philippines - they are always friendly, courteous and efficient. I trust them!
Send him to Jeffrey Epstein’s vacant cell.
Epetein's cell is a good one ,or make him read his wife's new book.
He can't read.
This is a perfect article title, Mary
You always nail it but especially today
Always grateful 🙏 for your inspirational courage
❤💙🤍
Let him lose, bigly, then get crushed under the weight of his criminal prosecutions.
Get your 🍿ready. It’ll be fun to watch him get hammered by the courts. I’ve always had a feeling his time is coming, bigly🤣 I love when people use that stupid word Conold made up.
Yes, he’s been a consistent grifter.

if grump loses the 2024 election, the case is so strong that it is extremely likely there will be a conviction. If Grump wins the 2024 election, this case will be dismissed.
So get out and VOTE!!!
As It Happens Oct 3 2024
is a weekday prime time Canadian CBC radio magazine show. They did a good segment on Jack Smith's released documents. Below is a link to the archived audio stream. The segment can be found between the following timestamps

Countdown with Keith Olbermann also has a good reading of the Jack Smith document:

As I write I’m watching Kamala Harris speaking in Wisconsin, with Liz Cheney literally by her side. I’m not a praying person, but 🙏🏼
I watched that, too. Both Cheney and Harris spoke and both were so inspiring.
Prayer never hurts, as long as it’s a positive vibration sent into the atmosphere is my feelings about these things. I have a long time friend who always considered herself an atheist. Yet she has always had a compassion, kindness, empathy and sense of respect, sensitivity, understanding, reverence for nature, that seemed to me more spiritual than many religious people.
I shared this with her one day, with the clarity I’d no agenda nor interest in “convincing” her she needed to find a religion, mine or anyone. She was appreciative of my acceptance and viewpoint, as she’d often felt so herself, surprised to hear this from an active Christian. She was interested in how I came to feel as my feelings were rare in her experience. My parents had been in a religious cult, my friends all went to Sunday school and I wanted to go too. So I asked my classmates where they went to church, and lived near us. and asked they could ask their parents if I could go with them, too. One said yes.
My mom had been the one who told me she wanted to go, and their “group” encouraged it. My dad wouldn’t go, “he knew more than all the minister & priests, wouldn’t waste time on their blather.” In the ‘50’s mom didn’t drive yet, a bus stopped near by. So I told my mom, I had a ride to Sunday School, could I go? Reminded her she kept telling me their group said, “ and children should go to Sunday School, now I can. Mom said, Yes, you can go! I’d been praying, “If You want me to go, help me find a way”
good vibes or …. over the years I’ve experienced more than a few miracles since.
Wonder how the Suprene Court protects Trump on this one.Jack Smith beat them at their own game. And he us right. Trump was acting as a candidate not President
Regardless of whether he was president or not, I fail to see how inciting an insurrection to prevent the certification of Biden's win, which is what this trial is about, would be considered an "official act".
Not to change the subject, but I drove from NJ to central Florida yesterday and today and listened to your incredible story, “Who Could Ever Love You.” I laughed… I cried. At one point I had to stop at a rest area and walk it off. I still have a bit left. But I’ll read those last pages in the hard copy tonight— thanks, E. Jean for gifting me a copy!
I hope E. Jean is doing well. I’m so thankful she stood up to the orange con man and won her case.
But as far as I understand she still hasn't got a cent from him (some of which she was going to spread around to other victims).
Your correct. He’s appealing the verdict, as he always does. She’ll get her money eventually.
Loved the book! I'm so glad you wrote it, Mary. It's so moving. I hope it does well!
Cande, it is a great audiobook.
Thank you, Mary. 💙 I hope you feel better.
I hope Jack Smith's filing convinces Donald's supporters that he is guilty.
Don't count on it. He and the alt-right media already have them programmed to believe that any news that is bad about him is "fake news" and programmed to not fact-check him.
It may turn a few. However, I don’t think it will move his hardcore base. 😎
And how do we get the people who really need to see this information to see it, read it, and comprehend?
Meidas Touch has downloaded the case/evidence document Jack Smith has filed for Grump's election interference case, and they walk you through it in this video:
Meidas Touch Judge REJECTS Trump Request, RELEASES File TO PUBLIC
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pf-1VmgXCUc
but how to get Fox viewers to see it ....?
I’m so glad you brought up that name. Fox is relevant to everything Trump is and does. When people keep asking how so many voters can support such a horrid human being, it’s easy. Fox. They watch Fox and nothing else. (And it goes without saying they’re not reading anything.) Fox is a well-oiled machine that grinds out kool-aid flavored propaganda.
Well, through our own stories and experiences we share in our communities. Fox is not a community. It's a TV channel. Can you imagine how isolated someone is who just stays at home and watches one TV channel? I mean, Grump does that. Neither you or I are in his bedroom to see it, yet we know, because the story has been retold by credible sources within each of our communities. And, a third of the USA borders Canada which is within the reach of Canadian Television and radio. These are outside of Trump's influence. And, NPR, PBS, and PRX mandate is to provide an objective source of news when private media is not able to. And, there are organizations like meidastouch, linchon project, Mary trump media, Kieth olberman who advertise, or have a reputation as community leaders, that try to bring balance to the coverage. it's a matter of getting involved in your community to spread the news.
Of course the American people deserve to know what’s happening with this case, It’s us vs Donald Trump. The Constitution allows a speedy trial for defendant. What about the victim? One needs to ask “Since Trump says he’s innocent we should ask why he didn’t demand a speedy trial? Because we all know why.
I predict Donald John Trump will go to prison.
Your lips to God's ear
🙏🙏🙏
We need to be praying for a much needed miracle on this!
Marc Short said this is a “gray” area. Why do all republicans politicians lie? Because reality is so hard for them.
I cannot begin to tell you how so very tired I am of Trump and his antics. I just want things to be like they were before he came into our lives, he has done nothing but create chaos for everyone. I always feel so depressed when I listen to him and his crazy nonsense. Give me back our undivided America and peace in our lives again.
Mary, you continue to be a brilliant and important voice in the public discourse. Thank you for everything you do.
