The new Trump regime, now in its fourth week of destruction, has unleashed more onslaughts on the rights of Americans, government agencies, and the rule of law. But at least we had the Super Bowl to make us feel better about everything, right?

Not to be overshadowed, Donald flooded the airwaves with two pregame interviews—one taped for Fox and the second live from Air Force One. From there, in the middle of the dystopian nightmare that continues to unfold, with an almost unimaginable level of support from his fascist party and many in the corporate media, Donald had a message designed—of course—to unite the American people. Because that's what he does best.

Let's look at this clip:

"There's a light over the United States. People are happy, more confident. The approval ratings for this country have gone through the sky more than at any time. We've had approval ratings that there's never been anything like it. We've never seen 49 points up, 49 points up. And I think there's a light actually long beyond this country, all over the world. I've been called by other leaders. They said, 'Sir, there's a light over our country right now. There's a light over the world.'"

Oh, a story in the middle of all those lies and delusions. Foreign leaders do not refer to each other as "Sir."

Anyway, there may indeed be a light over this country. I’m just hoping it’s the light of spaceships from other planets that are here to help those of us who don’t want to be here anymore escape. Now, it’s probably just the sun, but again—where do you start? Approval ratings are up? Foreign leaders are calling him "Sir"? God's in his heaven and all's right with the world? Angels are dancing on the heads of pins?

Honestly, he's a joke. Clearly, he's delusional. He's demented. However, this evangelical apostolic is dangerous. And of course, the people who push those kinds of deeply un-American beliefs have a lot of power now.

So, you have a little bit of insight into how well Donald made use of his time in front of the camera. These interviews should, theoretically, open up many opportunities for Donald to respond to the drastic implications of his regime’s swift and harmful actions. He could have reassured the American people about their financial security, their financial futures, or the stability of the government—which is looking very precarious right about now.

But, of course, chaos is his brand. It’s been created by him and the people he’s chosen to create it for him. So who are we kidding? Donald has never met an opportunity he didn’t squander.

What we got instead was the usual mix of lies, incoherent ramblings, and gaslighting.

Of course, we're going to dive into all of this and provide you with the context of what we know to be the truth behind every single talking point. But before we dive in, please take a second to like and share this video. If you haven't already, please subscribe to our channel. After you subscribe, click on the bell so you’ll be alerted every time a new video drops.

Let’s talk about Elon Musk for a second because, sadly and tragically, he’s an unavoidable topic of conversation. As a so-called "unpaid special employee," his financial records remain hidden, covering what are almost certainly his many, many, many conflicts of interest—despite his sweeping, illegal, unconstitutional, and unconfirmed influence over our federal agencies.

Watch this clip:

"Why does Elon's financial disclosure remain secret?"

"Because nobody's looking at that. We're looking at all the corruption that's taking place. His financial disclosure is largely the number of shares he's got in very public companies, and that’s not secret at all. If you read that, you’ll see a lot. I mean, he talks about his whole thing. I read one where he really gave a very good history of himself. But basically, it’s a number of shares times a certain stock price. Why is that not public? It is public. All you have to do is read it."

Oh, something got under his very thin skin there. Of course, that’s not true. A lot of this stuff is not public—that’s why it needs to be disclosed. But there’s nothing quite like loyalty among thieves, is there?

Critics highlight Musk’s past demands for full government transparency while he benefits from secrecy around his finances and his massive government contracts.

Gee, I wish there had been somebody who could have done something about all of that between, say, 2021 and 2025.

Meanwhile, Donald downplayed concerns over Musk’s access to Americans’ private financial data, offering no justification—because he doesn’t have to. Of course, we should all be asking: Do we trust Elon? But that kind of seems like a rhetorical question at this point because the answer is, of course, we don’t.

Take a look at this clip:

"And I’ve had a great help with Elon Musk, who’s been terrific."

"Bottom line: Do you trust him? Do you trust Elon?"

"Oh, he’s not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it, he’s so into it. But I told him, do that, then I'm going to tell him very soon—like maybe in 24 hours—to go check the Department of Education. He’s going to find the same thing. Then I’m going to tell him to go check the military. Let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions—hundreds of billions—of dollars of fraud and abuse. But I can't tell you now."

First of all, he did not answer the question: Do you trust Elon Musk?

Secondly, he is giving one guy—unelected, unconfirmed, unvetted, who did not go through an FBI background check—access to everything. And it doesn’t look like anybody’s quite gotten around to stopping him yet.

When Donald and Elon Musk talk about the "billions and hundreds of billions of fraudulent expenses," what they are really telling you is how much money they’re going to steal from us.

Last week, several lawsuits were filed—good, because this seems to be one of the most effective ways we’re going to regain any ground. The group, represented by Public Citizen Litigation Group and the State Democracy Defenders Fund, alleges that Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency unlawfully accessed the Treasury Department’s payment systems, exposing Americans’ private financial data. A judge issued a temporary hold on Musk’s access, which is good. Although, of course, it remains to be seen whether or not Donald, his minions, and Musk—and his minion, Donald—are going to abide by the court’s ruling.

As lawsuits pile up, the GOP-controlled judiciary continues to shield Musk. Legal experts warn that while Musk faces numerous lawsuits, the corrupt, illegitimate supermajority of the Supreme Court—which has aligned itself with Donald Trump almost from day one—could enable Musk’s unchecked authority.

This is unconstitutional and illegal. But this corrupt, illegitimate Supreme Court supermajority doesn’t care about either of those things as long as whatever Donald and his regime do fulfills their own ambitions or their vision of what this country should look like.

Critics note that Musk has a history of mass firings, union-busting, and discrimination lawsuits at Tesla and Twitter. His tenure mirrors those tactics—consolidating power while courts struggle to check him.

This is all happening in real time. And it's terrifying.

Discussion about this video

Why the hell should we pay for his half-assed trip to the Super Bowl?!

Brenda, we are just getting started with us paying for his presidency in both currency and emotions.

Unfortunately we are going to be in for a rough ride. I’m feeling it. We have to be prepared for the unexpected disruption in the supply chain of things that are essential…food, potable water, health needs, etc.

You're right and I don't think rough ride is a strong enough description.

You're telling me that Trump speaks the truth and defends our laws and freedoms is that correct? Let's address this piece by piece. He stands up for his rights. That's true. He stands up FOR HIS rights and no one else's. Fair judicial process. He thinks it's fair only when a ruling is in his favor. He calls ruling not in his favor a witch hunt. During his cases when he would come out and speak to the press, he would whine and complain like a spoiled child, which in many ways he still is. I can fact-check almost anything he says and find out that he's exaggerated, embellished or flat out lied. I didn't forget he lied over 30,000 times while in office. He recently said we rank 40th in education and that's why we don't need the Dept. of Education. That figure was a lie, we rank about 18th. He defends our laws. He's breaking them. How is he doing that when many of his EOs are illegal and are now being stopped by judges? He defends or freedoms. Give me an example of how he's doing that. Let's start with free speech. He's baring any media outlet from press conferences, like the AP, if they don't agree with him like Fox does. If he does that with the press, how long before we citizens lose the right to speak? I'm a native NYer, who's been aware of what he done now for about 40+ years. No one knows him better than a NYer. Most of MAGA only know him from the tv show "The Apprentice". Recently the crew of the show are now speaking since their NDAs have expired. They've said their main focus on the show was to make him look good, including successful. I was a bank branch manager in the '80s/'90s when he declared bankruptcy on 6 casinos/hotels he built in Atlantic City, NJ. I had contactors as customers and saw the pain and anguish he caused them by not paying his bills. That's much, much different than watching it on the news or reading about it in the paper. This should give you a pretty good idea

why I don't consider him to be my president. I didn't like him before he ran in 2015 and his presidencies have confirmed my feelings.

Damn good question. All he aligns himself with are the wealthy. But wait..the not so wealthy are starting to get mad…really mad. Karma is coming to FELON. Let’s throw him out the airlock and fodder with him as he gasps for air and Adderall. The orange turd.

It's about time people wake up!

Whenever he shows his face to an unvetted crowd, in a conservative show of disrespect we can throw eggs....well maybe not. Still have my felt pink hat standing by though.

Too expensive to throw eggs! Throw dog/cat/human shit instead.

He is like the brat who is given free range in public to trample everything in his path with no consequences.

Take out the word 'like' and I 100% agree with this.

Worse he had bimbo barbie with him.

Are you referring to Melanie?

😀😃😄😁😆

He probably didn't even watch the game

Expand full comment

Same reason we pay for any president to travel, whatever reason they choose.

Expand full comment

Usually in an official capacity. He is joyriding at the taxpayers expense.

Expand full comment

Official, yes. This is just another ripoff to glorify himself and to spout nonsense.

Expand full comment

we are paying for a lot more than just this trip.

Expand full comment

I'd like a tally on how much we pay for his golf outings.

Expand full comment

As a Canadian, he has no approval here. We said, «  Sir…you need to be in jail ».

Expand full comment

Want to move to Canada he’s a embarrassment to our country please don’t think we are all like him

Expand full comment

So do I! We are NOT all like the Orange Felon

Expand full comment

Please do. My husband is an American, voted for Clinton, Obama, Biden and Harris. The level of sheer stupidity at the cultish worship and people fearing this orange felon is beyond rational understanding.

Expand full comment

"Sir" 😂😂😂

Expand full comment

That’s his “tell.” Whenever he’s fabricated a story, they always call him “sir.”

Expand full comment

This guy has major issue with self respect. If he didn't, he would not need honorifics like "sir".

Expand full comment

Absolutely We DID! That sick narcissist thinks he’s God! Jeezus! The only and I mean ONLY thing he cares about is getting adoration for himself. He’s quite sickening.

Expand full comment

He needs to go to prison in Mexico , he’s a embarrassment to our Country

Expand full comment

Or Guantanamo

Expand full comment

It all boils down to this:

"When Donald and Elon Musk talk about the "billions and hundreds of billions of fraudulent expenses," what they are really telling you is how much money they’re going to steal from us."

Expand full comment

Finally, somebody has said what I've been thinking, thanks for putting it into words. He'll fill his coffers.

Expand full comment

And it will never be able to satiate their greed.

Expand full comment

Nope, with those two, the greed has no limits.

Expand full comment

Elon has increased his fortune by $134 million since Inauguration Day. trump has also increased his wealth.

Expand full comment

the tariffs are moneys the government will collect to finance the tax cuts for billionaires. while tanking the economies of the world as a side effect. there is no limit to their greed and cruelty.

Expand full comment

I didn't really watch the Super Bowl because of the Orange Menace. But I saw the halftime show. It rocked. Samuel L. was awesome as well dressed up as Uncle Sam. But the reports of the Felon being booed, classic.

Expand full comment

Did they really “Boo” him? I must have missed that part of it!

Expand full comment

I think it was when he realized it wasn't a friendly crowd, he left, to jeers and even shouts of "traitor"

Expand full comment

GREAT!! Thanks!

Expand full comment

Major RESPECT to those who booed the 34 times adjudicated FELON!

I'm sure there were other millions we don't know about, booing them on their TVs at home.

Expand full comment

It was fabulous! Should be able to find it on an internet search.

Expand full comment

Thanks!

Expand full comment

They did

Expand full comment

I don’t know if it is true or not but international feeds were said to have heard the booing but Fox substituted cheering audio for the US. I never know these days what to believe. I get my news from BBC and CBC.

Expand full comment

Hahaha i was too busy loudly saying F you I missed the boos!!!

Expand full comment

It was awesome.

Jon Baptiste did an amazing job! Freedom!!!🎵🎵🎵

Canadians who usually come down here for the winter canceled their flights because of Trump but they sent a message saying any Americans who want to leave the United States would be welcome in their country.

Great to know that good people like Canadian people exist in our current world.

Expand full comment

Several of my relatives have been going to Arizona for decades in the winter. All are quitting. Selling their homes and RVs in Mesa and Lake Havasu. It's beautiful scenery, history, wildlife, but ever since 2016 they have been seeing it with different eyes.

It is part of countering the tariffs. Canadians are getting hit with higher prices........so we go elsewhere.

where have you been, Dave? Mainstream media has given him a pass for years. Every lie, every threat, every rant has been treated with reverance. They are complicit in the destruction of our democracy.

Expand full comment

Yep. They have while doing their best to denigrate Joe and Kamala whilst giving Trump pass after pass after pass.. Their public capitulation has merely been the visible sign of submission. Our legacy media capitulated long ago.

Expand full comment

Guess I “gone fishing” …

Expand full comment

No. The legacy media believes in profit. In order to keep viable and enjoy freedom from illegal harassment, they will grovel to the new regime. Look at Bezos, Zucker, the guy from the California paper, all the rest of the mainstream media. Remember how he kept talking about “fake news?” These have all gone over to the other side. It happened almost IMMEDIATELY! We have to stay plugged in to the alternative sources, support them as they are threatened. The Trump reich will stop at NOTHING.

Exactly. I don't subscribe to or consume legacy media in any form, but then that became true as I found alternate news sources like Robert Reich Mary L. Trump, Meidas+ and the totally awesome Tennessee Brando all of whom have Substacks BTW.

Expand full comment

It's because he's never been held accountable. As far back as the 2016 campaign, media should have stopped him with every lie he spewed. They stayed silent, and oftentimes actually thought it was humorous. The 2016 debates should have been stopped immediately, when he bullied, lied, and attempted to intimidate. Moderators did NOTHING.

Expand full comment

I agree whole heartedly. The GOP build a monster and just like Dr. Frankenstein, now they can't control it. Yesterday he said judges have no control over what he does. Truthfully if he disobeys the judges, I'd yank him out of the White House and throw him in jail which is where he rightfully belongs.

He wasted $30,000,000 to go to the Super Bowl and he left at halftime. He was well BOOED by the attendees. Trump is a melting moron.

It’s but a drop in the bucket compared to how much Trump will soak us taxpayers for his trips to Mar a Lago and his other golf resorts.

MEIDAS does daily videos on YouTube. I subscribe to avoid the adverts. It is well worth the price. Truth plus top legal minds on camera. Ben and his team are so professional.

Expand full comment

The convicted felon-elect and MAGA act like all of these agencies were created by Biden to steal money for himself and his family. If I'm not mistaken his finances were reviewed during Hunter's case and nothing was found. These agencies for the most part were created decades ago by bipartisan agreement. Their purposes were also agreed upon by both parties. I would imagine they all have budgets which can be reviewed by legislators on both side of the aisle. If there was deceit and stealing going on before this, why didn't the GOP raise a red flag?

When are the courts going to step up and stop this steal? Who is going to enforce their decisions? When is there going to be accountability for such thieves, stealing people's livelihoods by pullin federal funding for all kinds of vitally important jobs. This is fascism rising before our eyes, dictatorship for day one after all. Help! Stop this nightmare asap please, elected officials, do everything you can please.

Just a quick thought from the UK. We (well, those of us taking notice of international politics) see a very dark cloud over the US thats already rapidly spreading over the entire planet.

The Gaza ‘plan’ would be hilarious if the implications weren’t so terrifying.

You can take it from here that once your country’s international reputation is shot (Brexit), it’s a very long way back.

Expand full comment

There’s no guarantee that Egypt and Jordan would accept Gaza’s residents into their countries.

Expand full comment

They haven't wanted to accept them before...and they don't want to go, it's their homeland, too. But if the US screws with Gaza, you can expect Hamas to be active in the US. It was an incredibly dumb and naive statement.

I would imagine we have a lot of Trump voters who are saying “What did I do”. Its gonna get worse and as I have said before, if there were not so many no Trump voters that are going to get hurt also, I would love to see Trump cult members get what they deserve.

My only question, my ONLY concern is, WHAT IN THE NAME OF REASON ARE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS DOING ABOUT THIS?

What's happening in the "government" is largely, hugely, vastly, immensely, unequivocally illegal and our state governments are going after his cronies and their actions, but CONGRESS AND THE SENATE seem to be almost catatonic!

Several Democrats have VOTED WITH THOSE MORONS. They shouldn't be, EVER.

There have been a very few, maybe 15, officials from both houses who have gone out and publicly attempted to get the corporate media to cover all this horrifying activity, but THEY'RE NOT MAKING A DENT.

WTF are they actually doing?

Can ANYONE tell us?

And why are they being so quiet and mousy about it?

Thanks, Mary, but I never listen to him and turn off any TV or radio when he comes on. I follow what he is doing: trying to take over the Country as an autocratic dictator.

Thank you Mary.

We have a corrupt SCOTUS, corrupt gop congress, demented megalomaniac in the White House and his nazi sidekick/controller.

They know damn well the laws don't apply to them.

The court issues an order, they scoff.

Yeah, Musk's bumbois are told to stop collecting data. They have already downloaded it. It is essentially in the wind. Few people are grasping how big bad that alone is.

Until and unless they are both in prison (or gone where goblins go), they will continue to destroy the US and every bit of good it does in the world.

Is he as far gone as it appears?

Idea to push back:

What if we all - every group that is resisting -call every media outlet in this country and internationally ( forget FOX, which admitted they are just entertainment, not news) and expose these "leaders" who are selling us out? Expose them and embarrass them in the press. That way their constituents, their family, friends and community will know. Not all of those they know will care, but I'm sure many will.

Give the media the info and reliable sources. Challenge them to publish.

What happens if the people staffing the departments that DOGE sends its delinquents to just don't co-operate? Have any of Musk's minions taken an oath of office as federal employees are supposed to do? Title 5 USC PART III, Subpart B, CHAPTER 33, SUBCHAPTER II: OATH OF OFFICE states that 'an individual elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: "I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."' If the DOGies haven't taken an oath of office how do they have the ability to access these offices? Make them bring the Marshals and then remind the Marshals of the oath that they took. Resistance is the only option.

.."Honestly, he's a joke. Clearly, he's delusional. He's demented. However, this evangelical apostolic is dangerous."

Yes, he is dangerous. And Elon Musk is dangerous. But where are the Democrats who need to rise up against him in an effective fashion? Hakeem Jeffries gave a good speech today, but his delivery was tired and terrible. He does not show passion. And we desperately need passion! In the Senate we have it with a few, like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. In the House it is

AOC, and Jamie Raskin, but too few others. The corporate media are still not nailing our highchair president, as they did Joe Biden. I have read almost nothing about his being delusional or demented--and he is both. It seems safer to say he lies, spins and "waves." He needs to be called out by those in power in a concrete, no BS fashion. Most Dems are too scared to do that, and we can forget about Republicans with no moral compass. I do not feel hopeful about our sad little country. Too much posturing, greed and desire for wealth keeps the powers-that-be in check. Complaining will do no good. We need people willing to risk, to stand up and declare themselves. I recommend a Truthdig article: The Dork Lord by Jeb Lund (Feb.3)

As meaningless as my comment, each time he opens his mouth and 'words' are uttered (he bypassed 'spoken' awhile back) I do not hear any conviction, knowledge of a vowel of an utterance. A little above a whisper, as if any more firm losing consciousness is a strong possibility, makes me wonder if Donald couldn't possibly be the individual behind any of the wretched acts from the white house (on purpose). Someone with a smidge less ego feeds the ideas to him and, like a bad seed kid with a new gift of a sharpened chainsaw, words of possible acts, he sets down the chainsaw carefully to not hurt it on a table and dashes to the most public place and gives a 'glorious' speech, he knows, relishing in his most leadership-like role, disguising lies and made up stories, of his plans to do beautiful things for his public knowing full well he speaks of destruction and greed as told to him by his 'friend for the moment' gent with a little less ego. If the speech weren't written for him he has no idea what he uttered except he knows his newly sharpened chainsaw is waiting for the boy with no heart.

I am afraid Mary that the people in the Trump administration have done their homework far better than his first administration, and have figured out the loopholes however small or however large in our system of justice. Also, they have created a cabal of leaders who are no longer interested in the democratic process and want to replace it with something more nimble to the desires of the rich and powerful. They no longer believe that our Constitution, specifically designed to thwart an authoritarian like King George, is the way to go. Too cumbersome; nothing gets done in such a partisan state like we have in this country. In other words - project 2025. Just how many are involved in this illegal effort that we do not yet know. Are Thomas and Alito involved? Roberts? Thunes? Graham? Bondi? Patel? Hegseth? Speaker Johnson? That is important to know. Because armed with knowledge of all our system's shortcomings, these people can literally stage a coup if there is enough support from the legislative and judicial branches. Court orders can be simply ignored. Impeachments? Forget it. Congressional subpaena's? Really? It looks to me that we are wide open to a coup. And if that happens, you can probably say goodbye to the mid term elections. Or if they occur they will be rigged Hungary style. Russia style. As for Trump - it is clear to all more than at any time before that he is a dufus. A clown albeit a dangerous and vindictive one. He is there as a figurehead whose ego can be fed and is being coached to do what the real evil folks want. All this talk of constitutional crisis - of course it is. So what. The Constitution will be dead. All this talk of illegality - of course. But it doesn't matter if nobody is going to prosecute. All this talk of the American people who voted for Trump and didn't see this coming? Probably true - but so what? Dictators do not have to bend to the will of the people. They control the military and the FBI and can sick them on protestors if need be. All this talk of Republicans paying for this in the mid-terms? The mid-terms are very much at risk for that very reason. We may not have mid-terms. I actually do not see a way out of this short of a violent overthrow some day, just like so many banana republics. And alot blood will be spilled. Boy do I hope that I am wrong.

The thinness of Trump's skin makes the thinness of a real onionskin look like several Mount Everests. To get under Trump's yocto-thin skin (and perhaps get rid of Musk), I think we should routinely call him 1st Vice President Trump, followed by 2nd Vice President Vance.

Years ago, fraternity students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created a unit of linear measurement called a “smoot” <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot> <https://interestingengineering.com/science/smoot-the-most-hilarious-mathematical-unit> <https://web.mit.edu/smoot/> <https://news.mit.edu/2008/smoot-tt0924> <https://alum.mit.edu/slice/mit-recalibrate-smoot> <https://duckduckgo.com/?hps=1&q=mit+smoot&atb=v468-5&ia=web>. I suggest we need a new measurement of thinness known as “Trumpskin,” which would be the lower boundary of thinness, thinner than a yoctometer <https://www.nanowerk.com/metric_prefixes_table.php> and akin to absolute zero for temperature (which, coincidentally, is the temperature of whatever soul Trump has managed to hold on to).

Watched your video, in connection to the Middle East - Gaza and the current silly proposal- I think you would find this article read-worthy..it’s written by Dear America Network.

And yet, American business, commerce and industry are forever balanced on the knife edge of orderly and solid rules of law and business, flawlessly executed.

Somebody shuts down Tesla’s cash flow for a week and it starts to rot.

What would you call Musk’s finagling with the Treasury? Sabotage? Yeah, like that.

I believe the u.s. media (wth) blocked it as I heard it played in other countries. Individuals have posted it though.

these crimes against the Palistine....

Why are you being so kind to your cousin?

American taxpayers had to pay for his flight, security and other costs for his extremely brief appearance at the Super Bowl. I’m sure given his lack of attention span, that he fled the arena right after his extremely brief interview. Shameful.

I suspect SCOTUS may think that coming down on Elon's side would be a profound embarrassment for them. Which is true. Doesnt he have their SSNs too? The potential for extortion is limitless.

Expand full comment

Agreed.

Nobody seems to think of this, tho. They even say stuff like, "Musk is the world's richest man, what's he going to do with your SSN, take out a loan?"

Exactly, tho! Then default & ruin your credit. After that, try buying a car, renting an apartment, or getting a job. And those are only the things I can think of!

Maybe as a mystery writer, I just have a criminal mind. But Elon does too. LOL

Trump is behaving like the child he was and still is. Growing up he couldn't get what he needed from his emotionally distant mother and his domineering father, so he passive-aggressively disrupted the family constantly in bids for attention and power over the parents he was angry at. NOW, he does the same thing to all the "parental figures" like the other branches of government who "dare" to try to limit him. He provokes them through disobedience and defiance, frustrating their Constitutional right to exert checks and balances, just as he did with his parents.

Mary, props to you for calling the corrupt supreme court what it is!

Earlier this month, I was intensely worried that my subsistence money from the Fed would not arrive, or be late. It came on time. The other day, amazingly, so did the ‘foodstamps’.

I would like to thank the Fed employees, who did not quit nor cower- despite Rumpmusk’s efforts & threats to their families’ incomes. As well as the taxpayers who allow most of us unwell, elderly, new parents & children to get by, fed & hopefully housed, each month.

Btw, which do you think is more apt: Rumpmusk or Muskrump?

Update: I’ve got it: rumptusks!

If I had rumptusks, I know whose lap I’d sit on first…

This is the beginning of a Dictatorial Regime. How long are we going to want to stop these delinquents, Trump and Musk from taking over the Government?

A Sir story! From Donald Duck.

The voice...not quite Donald Duck and not quite Mickey Mouse. It's Alvin! Mary, are you the artist who created those very interesting white vases? And the snacks on Air Force One behind him. I see a lot of sugar there. Not good.

Why does he sound like a chick munk

Odd, the con musk did make a good payday for getting the felon elected, Elon Musk Spent $277 Million To Elect Trump And Made $154 Billion Since Election Day. So you know he is getting paid, even though the felon states he isn't. That alone would prove the felon lied, but the gov won't do anything, because the supreme court gave him the right to lie about it.

As our democracy is being attacked, our adversaries are plotting and strategizing how to attack our country. They see the weakening of our defenses and opportunities. I am afraid it is going to hurt us. When and where, who knows? A major shift in direction will happen.

Am I worried or am I just paranoid?

Did you make his voice sound like Donald Duck? Bwah hahaha. Love it.

You are spot on! The way I see it is Donald is too lazy and dumb to do the work himself the reason he enlists Elon to do it.

Why do other people sound normal but Little Trumpy sounds like the squealing weasel he actually is in your clips? I absolutely love it as it's comical--and accurate--but I'm curious if you are presenting his voice like that on purpose?

Folk Music 2026

(Let’s all sing!) –

“Where have all the Congressmen gone? (long time passing)

Where have all the Senators gone? (long time ago)

Where have all the lawmakers gone?

Declared unneeded by King Elon.

When will we ever learn?...”

Thanks Mary for continuing to inform and update us on the current state of presidential affairs starring Elon Musk. Any tips on trying to voice opinions and make comments to my representatives and senators who are all Republicans and follow the Trump creed lock, stock and barrel? I have started making posts to social media accounts of democratic reps and senators in congress, asking them to hold their Republican colleagues accountable for the illegal actions of the current administration. Keep fighting the good and necessary fight.
