Well I appreciate your wise warnings and I believe in, better safe than sorry!! Why wait until we're in a full on war before calling it the way it is, excelerating, unprovoked and dangerous for America and our Allies. Thanks Mike!
Thanks for introducing me to James Talarico..just donated to his campaign...he inspired the thought that having political parties in and of itself divide this country..do you think that this country will evolve to a party -less political system where people run their platform on values not defined by a political party...there would be no more " politics" just governance for and by the people.....just thought I'd put this thought out there
Getting rid of Trump could easily be a case of the cure being worse than the disease. The cleanest option is if he dies of natural causes, or his supporters invoke and execute an Article 25 removal. The former isn't up to us, and the latter requires Trump's supporters to do something that requires more courage than they have and that works against their interests. In either case, we get JD Vance, who shares Trump's dictatorial philosophy, but at least appears rational. He might be better at responding to world events, but he will also be better at consolidating his power.
Anything else would require a military coup. We cannot be rid of Trump by protesting; he is immune to them, and he has the National Guard and military to suppress them. That is the point of his military deployments. The only solution in that scenario is if the military sides with the protesters, and that leads to a military coup.
The problem I see with Vance is that he is simply a mini me of Trump, but not encumbered by stupidity. His encumbrance is a complete lack of qualification to be anything other than dog catcher. His first political campaign was for senator. He did nothing as a senator and then got elevated to the vice presidency.
I’m in agreement with you, but he has replaced our strongest military leaders with stooges that prefer their positions rather than doing what’s right for the country. If only someone would act they’d find overwhelming support from the citizens. This cannot be allowed to continue and this regime has got to be annihilated by whatever means necessary before we’re all destroyed. We can pick up the pieces later and get back to business!
Some significant aspects of the trump cabal must change - naturally, electorally or by force - in order for any reasonably positive outcome to coalesce.
Hey, the Epstein files were released yesterday, and Putin and Netanyahu both leaped to provide distractions to help their buddy Donald. Totally predictable and totally deadly.
For the umpteenmillionith time, Trump WAS NOT elected either in 2016 or in 2024. Election fraud facilitated by our corporate fraud-friendly voting systems installed him both times. This time around, Metamucilini has so few functioning brain cells left that are not shriveled from neurosyphilis or fried from snorted Adderall that he cannot stop saying that out loud. I have heard him myself at least six times and the links are readily available. Just Google "Did Trump say the 2024 election was rigged for him?". Anyone who keeps repeating that he was legitimately elected is just supporting the false and fascist narrative. STOP.
Bruce… you have a view of the world that fits perfectly with mine. (Not surprised — love your books!) I’m going to “paid” to support your voice and theology.
Decision made when I saw your zinger at Hegseth. His arrogant Christian Nationalism makes my skin crawl! And “Dept of War” is anti-American! We gave that up years ago!)
So God be with you on your journey to health and marathons. I knew I had to “go paid” when I read about your love for Vespa. When our Airedale Cocoa died I was in mourning for a year (until we got another Airedale and named him Loki 😍).
Keep on sharing your wisdom for action and survival in this grim siege by Trumpism. We need to hold hands and stick together. I’m 81 and want to see the America I’ve known and loved and fought with before I exit this life!
Trump is awful and its terrible that some of the people we rely on to tell the truth have been brainwashed to believe we are the good guys, NATO is a benign club and the Russians are the spawns of hell.
Putin, is walking all over Trump along with his other world leaders. Trump owes Russia big money. Trump is sacrificing our democracy for Putin. He is pretending to be president by doing all nonessential activities.
According to Trump, Israel did inform him about their intention to bomb Doha.
And he couldn’t be bothered to say, “that’s a really bad idea“. Because he is beholden to a certain class of so-called Christian, who can’t wait to see the Middle East enveloped in war on the off chance that Jesus will come back if it happens.
People are refusing to buy American made products simply because they are American. These are not "mistakes" made by the fascist elite - they are purposely trying to wreck our economy, along with everything else we have accomplished (health care, culture, alliances. etc). The first group to disappear will be the middle class, which will look like the "Outer Party" of "1984". Poor, sickly, brainwashed and ignorant! Only the rich will have real coffee, liquor, chocolate, cooking oil, to name a few of those items viewed as iconic in historical writing, like what happened to Nazi Germany.
So true
Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, India are laughing at our incompetence and weakness
So is everyone else.
The whole world is laughing and crying at USA’s treachery under frumpy 😭

I don't see a way out.
Luck, the Big Guy is not in the best of health. Cankles, bad color, cognitive issues, gait disturbance , obvious iv site on both hands ……who knows?

We are in deep Doodoo.

Hello Mike... Pray for Divine Intervention....
Hey, the Epstein files were released yesterday, and Putin and Netanyahu both leaped to provide distractions to help their buddy Donald. Totally predictable and totally deadly.
The files were not released yesterday Donna
Hello Donna... Good Observation.... Maybe Like Their Useful Idiot....

I HATE trump! He WON'T be happy until WW111 has officially broken out! And it is well on its way. FDT

Putin liked his visit to Alaska. There may soon be an agreement. Alaska once belonged to Russia. It may be returned for a TRUMP TOWER in Moscow.
Trump is awful and its terrible that some of the people we rely on to tell the truth have been brainwashed to believe we are the good guys, NATO is a benign club and the Russians are the spawns of hell.
Putin, is walking all over Trump along with his other world leaders. Trump owes Russia big money. Trump is sacrificing our democracy for Putin. He is pretending to be president by doing all nonessential activities.
Our allies have no reason to believe this administration will honor international accords like Article 5.
None whatsoever.
According to an article I read yesterday…
According to Trump, Israel did inform him about their intention to bomb Doha.
And he couldn’t be bothered to say, “that’s a really bad idea“. Because he is beholden to a certain class of so-called Christian, who can’t wait to see the Middle East enveloped in war on the off chance that Jesus will come back if it happens.
I believe it was confirmed that Israel didn't tell Trump
I was just quoting the article which said that trump said they did.

That is hitting the nail squarely on the head!
