Don’t be scared in his heart he’s a coward, a mentally unstable coward, but in the end a coward who won’t risk his life for Iran!

How did this country get involved in an abusive relationship with this man and how do we get out?

Joan Wiersma's avatar

We GOT here b/c of JOHN ROBERTS, The Heritage Foundation & The Federalist Society!

They have to PAY for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>>>>:()

He’s enjoying being the center of attention of the entire world! 🌎 Keeping every person scared and traumatized. A sick, twisted man.

Joan Wiersma's avatar

EXACTLY!!! He gets off on this! He's ALWAYS been like this... all the way back to CHILDHOOD! He is a psychopath & narc & NEEDS to be GONE!!

RobsSister's avatar

He loves the fact the whole world is talking about him. His malignant narcissism feeds on the fear he, and he alone is causing. It should disgust all people of good conscience.

If it wasn’t clear before, there should be no question now that the republicans in congress have abdicated their duties and betrayed their oaths to the Constitution. The entire party is now complicit in whatever happens next.

God help us all.

78million voted for him. 78mill people that i would not miss if they all died tomorrow. 78mill people caused this situation. the voters enable the fascist repugnicans.

I know how you feel -- I've been there as well -- but we have to accept the fact that in a democratic society we have to live, work and love in a world where not all of the people in our lives is a picture of perfection (as judged by our lights). We have too get over these resentments, which are distractions which carry their mown psychic cost, and get back to the doing the hard work of change.

Just REMEMBER that HE "CHEATED WITH MUSK" to get in on 2024!! People act like he actually won this when he DID NOT!

Joan Wiersma's avatar

You hit the nail right on the head. You're so right.

I have felt this way before. On 9/11/2001 I was on route to work when the emergency alert system of my radio was activated. AA 11 had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The world stopped. No one knew what would come next. It was terrifying. That's how I feel now. Trump is the most terrifying leader since Hitler. The GOP is willingly putting the citizens of the US through this, putting us all in danger, and there appears to be not one care about it.

78million voted for him. 78mill people that i would not miss if they all died tomorrow. 78mill people caused this situation. the voters enable the fascist repugnicans. are they calling thune and johnson and saying STOP THIS MADNESS OF KING TRUMP?????

Joan Wiersma's avatar

Pssst!!!!! DO NOT FORGET that HE CHEATED WITH CRIMINAL MUSK to get back into office!

SUE H SPENCER's avatar

Yes. Thanks for expressing my exact fears better than I could!

I remember that day well. Many Americans seem to have forgotten. What happens tonight may change that.

Joan Wiersma's avatar

Jesus! HE is no leader! HE is just a DERANGED asshole feeling powerful, and the people IN this gov't that INSTALLED him, ALL have to PAY when this is done.

I have been calling for the 25th Amendment for a while now….

Susan Klemetsen's avatar

The 25th Amendment is a pipe dream. Vance would have to initiate it and it requires 2/3 of both the House and the Senate to approve it. The majority of the GOP supports what Trump is doing. They aren't going to remove him. If it was up to only the Democrats, Trump would have been gone by now. That's why voting is so important!

Mona Davis's avatar

You are correct, but enough shouting it out might encourage the weal legislators to get some balls to slow down this authoritarian administration, so we can enact some legislation to get us back to democracy...and some peace.

T Mac's avatar

Donnie is the worst of us. He was enabled by the worst Supreme Court (Roberts Court), has the worst cabinet, assisted by the worst speaker in history and is fueled by racism, corruption, bigotry, misogyny and a kleptocracy that puts greed over country every day.

ajay ess's avatar

correct...but....78million voted for him. 78mill people that i would not miss if they all died tomorrow. 78mill people caused this situation. the voters enable the fascist repugnicans. are any of them calling johnson and thune. maybe nuking those 78mill would be a better use of out tax$...

Joan Wiersma's avatar

What's with you??? WHY do you not know that HE CHEATED WITH CRIMINAL MUSK??

Francis/Clare's avatar

You would think those retiring would speak out. Chickenshits.

Joan Wiersma's avatar

I think they are afraid he'll quietly send his goons to hurt or kill them. DON'T think that he wouldn't. I've read enough of them say that they would KILL for him, and HE KNOWS this. I'm TELLING you, HE "IS" EVIL in a suit!

Pam's avatar

Someone on Substack wrote this morning that it would just take 3 in Congress to caucus with the Democrats and save all of us. There are tons of them retiring, so hopefully this occurs to just a few who have some moral sense left -- assuming there are 3 such individuals in the GOP.

Isn't anyone in our military concerned about the consequences of following illegal orders?

Jan B (FL via MN)'s avatar

I think all of THOSE people have been fired…. Just sayin’

Joan Wiersma's avatar

I think they meant soldiers.... like on the ground.

Jayne Spence's avatar

Living in fear every day.

Michele McGurrin's avatar

I am frightened as well!! I just saw an article saying the head of Iran is in a comatose state…..and cannot make decisions.

JoeDelaney's avatar

He is going to use the threat of ordering a tactical nuke to force military leadership to agree to follow him down a slightly slower road to hell.

Angelo Ioffreda's avatar

This is not a way to bluff. With this "bluff," the U.S. has already "lost" to the extent there are winners and losers in this unnecessary and unwanted war, despite our military prowess.

No one will look at the U.S. again in the same light.

Joan Wiersma's avatar

And Trump doesn't care about that... when he spoke of the SWAMP, he was really referring to all of us and the draining part was about how he is STEALING all of our money!!! HE really HATES America, that's WHY he works with & for Russia. Others like Mitch like Russia's $$$$$ too! Why do you think he's called MOSCOW MITCH?

ajay ess's avatar

is your trumpaholic dad calling thune and johnson to say ENOUGH! STOP THE MADMAN,,,,

are any trumpaholic friends and relatives shocked and/or scared?

if not, then why not?

if they don't give a fcuk about themselves then they don't give a fcuk about you....

in case you don't get it....YOUR TRUMP FAMILY AND FRIENDS CAUSED THIS BY VOTING FOR TRUMP.

if you don't 'unfriend' and 'unfamily' them, then you are complicit.

they must be made to feel alone and abandoned...maybe then they'll begin to see reality....

fcuking trump and fcuking trump voters make me so fcuking angry!!!!!

R Hodsdon's avatar

ajay ess, you are getting worked up over some comments made on a blog -- GET OVER IT. You aren't an advice columnist ya know, you should stop "YELLING" at people and take a break. Some things are not under our control -- that's life. Don't become an abuser because you feel helpless and abused.

Joan Wiersma's avatar

You're correct. Plus he doesn't seem to REALIZE that Trump was INSTALLED. He CHEATED with CRIMINAL MUSK to get back in the oval office. So those maga that did vote,, did NOT put him in. There weren't enough of THEIR votes to win. It's WHY they cheated... I saw it go down and followed it for weeks.
