He's only saying it in private. But he's saying what we are thinking.

Absolutely, and with that exact word. I have used that word "like a sailor" since T took office--RARELY even spoken by me before that. He has turned us into "potty-mouths" who are stressed and angry to the limits of our mental end even physical health. I've even had nightmares about him. He is PURE POISON.

Vicki, I've had nightmares about him too. Maybe I'm paying too much attention, but how can I avoid it without ignoring all the news? He really IS poison!

Expand full comment

There's really no way to completely avoid his influence, try as we might. I guess the best strategy is seeking a diet of music, literature, entertainment, etc. that provides comfort or humor.

You're so right Vicki! We have to keep filling the well.

Heather Cox Richardson, historian, professor at Boston college, wrote about Abe Lincoln. He said assaults and devastation against America won’t come from foreigners. It will come from within.

Even the Founders declared that's how our Republic Democracy could be destroyed 236 years ago.

They , seeming knew the eventuality of something like the orange puke could/ would rear it's head; like a Asp.

CRUELTY AND PREJUDICE IS ALIVE AND FESTERING among to many in our population.

I, seriously am dumbfounded as to how America is a " white Country", when the Orignal Peoples aren't.

Great Britian owes Races of Color for their destruction, just as white, male Americans owe Hawaiians.😡

The original People were millions until mass murder, war, blankets given with viruses attached that killed whole tribes, the 10 years of The Trail of Tears and more. A genocide. Plus history doesn't share the Indigenous people who were enslaved, mixed with whites, Africans, and other races. Sad, but true. Now being called African Americans to hide the truth, I believe. Like, where is the video of the scientist not many years ago finding a 3,000 year old skull? Yep, after putting a face to it he said, Negro. Why is that being hidden?

Hence the reactions to “Elmo’s” inquiry about “How are we doing? “

😭 We are a broken, wounded nation. We must destroy this serpent with every one of our precious votes. I love how nervous the MAGAts are getting because Taylor Swift influenced her loyal Swifties to "vote for the candidate that you feel best represents you". She could have endorsed Joe Biden again, which all wet their

butthurt pants over, but this was a slick way to do it.

Of course no self respecting Swiftie feels represented by that oompah loompah asshat.

Magasmarmy can go whine on X some more about Taylor and Travis like big Trump asskissing baby he is..

The bastid stole 7 years of my life from me. Yeah, I got wrinkles, anxiety, panic attacks and fear for my family and yours. But the old loser looks far worse. Like Mom said, he looks like something the cat dragged in and the dog won’t touch.

Expand full comment

I'm so sorry. I think all of us here can relate to that. Yet there are those who virtually worship him (with an enthusiastic joy!) Baffling beyond words.

"...and the dog won't touch"--Had never heard that part of the saying, which I've been using my whole life. Love it!

It is written that the evil one will come masquerading as the light.

Darkest light I ever saw.

Are you referring to 2 Corinthians 11?

"13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds."

He is telling the truth.

Maybe he'll say it in public before too much longer. Sure, lots of tender hearts will likely complain about the profanity but, as we have seen, someone is sure to complain about something no matter what he says.

Expand full comment

Everything is a hoax. Everyone else is a liar. The news is fake.

Well, isn't it interesting that the biggest lifelong grifting conman liar incapable of telling the truth if you set his cheap rug hairpiece on fire, is a fake multibillionaire?

His status as a brilliant businessman and multibillionaire is a hoax. Karma is crashing down on that cheap roadkill looking baby-diarrhrea-yellow rug he glues to the top of his fat head everyday and lacquers with an entire can of AquaNet.

Biden is my president. And he knows a sick fuck when he sees one.

IT WAS REPORTED BY ARI , but of course , that was a private conversation behind closed doors

The orange puke told Atty. Kaplan" "Cu(o)nT(uesday)", knowing that Wednesday was the correct court day.So he called her a "CUNT", in the Courtroom. Atty. kaplan reported that herself. He needs a Manly beatdown.

I write about a variety of subjects on The Storm.By Norm. When I have something to say about Biden’s predecessor, I’ve found that it is dang near impossible to say anything about the disgusting piece of shit without using profanity. See? I did it again.

Expand full comment

I'm laughing! Of course it's almost impossible to say anything about the worst president in US history without spitting out some profanity! Well, we're among friends here.

And Mary, I hope you have a terrific vacation that leaves you well rested, satisfied, and feeling optimistic.

Totally agree. It brings out the NYC person who resides within, even though I haven't lived there for more than 24 years. My expletives are not being deleted.

Expand full comment

That IS funny! My expletives aren't being deleted either. But Nixon seems practically like a boy scout next to the worst (expletive deleted!) president.

Nixon was the subject of my first political arguments--in second grade, when the JFK/Nixon race was on. My friend Ralphie was the grandson of one of the founders of Nordstrom, which got its start in Seattle, where we lived at the time. Ralphie's mother--daughter of the Nordstrom founder--was interior decorator to the hoi polloi of Seattle, including future Nixon aide John Erlichman. My parents were both trained economists, and both left wing Democrats. (My mother's uncle had been head of the Colorado Democratic Party for years.)

Ralphie and I were in the car, with Mom at the wheel. Remembering about Nixon's having smeared Helen Gahagan Douglas when they ran for the Senate, an incident I'd heard about but barely understood, except that I knew it reflected poorly on Nixon, I said to Ralphie:

"You know Ralphie, you really shouldn't vote for Nixon because he called that lady in California something like an economist."

I'm virtually certain I'm quoting myself accurately, because my mother, who didn't do a lot of laughing, found this story incredibly funny, and told it often.

Thank you Mary, please take care of yourself. I don't live in the US, but I also feel very concerned about him being president again. I agree with Biden, he's despicable.

I love that he said that! It’s true and we all know it. Well, those of us outside the cult. Enjoy your vacation, Mary!

Thank you for cultisizing him. Please don't call him our President or even X-President. He never was ours. He never cared about America except to use it as his personal Stump and Piggy Bank.
