Speaking out is a start to disarming the reckless driver

Still rather insensitive the day after another deadly air crash when another mode of transportation could easily get the point across. Though we’re in a time of chaos & crassness

Easier now when you still have some power or legal leverage than after you easy comply and have fewer to no options to protect yourself & the institutions you head

Oprah needs to do more than apologize. Oprah has the ability to command massive media coverage & she has an obligation to bring public condemnation upon Dr. Phil since she is responsible for platforming & promoting Dr. Phil through her media production company .

Trump did that in his 1st term to Andy McCabe. Yet for whatever reason DOJ careerists & other legal eagles thought the guard rails were still in place to contain the obvious threat Trump was then & now

You were warned and many others did too. Media consolidation was happening when Tomorrow never Dies was released it was a docudrama

It appears that probably was all just talk or maybe all just a lie they told you

Who allowed Trump the power to dismantle our government, if not for the majority of American citizens of voting age along with the elected Republicans supporting with few if any exceptions ?

Makes more sense to spread the message the 4th estate was bought & paid for by Republicans & start complaining more about the Republicans who hold the majority in every federal branch of government & is allowing Trump to dismantle the US government

I live in a blue state and I’ve never before seen so many Trump flags proudly hoisted

If you didn’t confront the friends & family that were willing to give Trump the benefit of doubt because it wasn’t worth a uncomfortable conversation then you’re part of problem

I guarantee if Biden/Harris had been reelected we wouldn’t be facing this current barrage of chaos. It should be constantly stated first and foremost that Americans chose presentation over substance & now paying the heavy cost for their folly

Maine chose Sen Collins instead of Sara Gideon after Collins had continuously broke her previous promises to Mainers. How many terms did she promise to serve? & Her constant claims he learned his lessons; US gets a coup attempt. I trust him & Roe was overturned.

Collins chose to follow the Republican Party instead of protecting & serving the rights of We the people of the United States

Talk from a willing Trump collaborator. Collins chose the Republican Party over country

So little contempt being directed towards Republicans that hold the majority in every federal branch of the government. It’s strange that MSM & social media posts aren’t focusing on Republicans who are the willing drivers & collaborators in Trump’s dismantling of the US government

I’m told the “ worried about ME” is natural human behavior. A trait that is unnatural in myself but I’m starting to accept is more the rule than the exception in others

I can’t wrap my head around people not demanding the 4th estate to start holding Republicans accountable for aiding & supporting without exception to Trump’s dismantling of the US government .

Or why more folks aren’t blaming Republican law makers for collaboration

NYT has lost all credibility. I no longer use it as a legitimate source since their commitment to sane - wash Trump’s blatant disregard for following the law of the United States or behave in a respectful manner.

Work together to remove him & others collaborators from office that are dismantling the US government

I don’t think they are useless but it’s frustrating & a bit frightening watching intelligent people continue as if ignoring our situation with magical thinking (if I don’t speak about it & be positive) it will make it all go away and return back to normalcy

I feel your pain & I suffer from the affliction. I know most of my good friends & acquaintances mean well when they say we can survive the next 4 yrs. My concern: their words suggest to they are in denial to the past & current horrors for whatever reason . 2000 election was my wake up call

Similar to the story of Rome burning while Nero fiddled. Sad ending

No longer I realize my justification of approving the Rubio nomination was a mistake. Senate Democrats need to follow Mancy Reagan advice and “just say no” to everything the Republicans & Trump propose

Sadly the Republicans will successfully blame the Democrats for the damage Trump & Republicans rendered. Too many American voters keep being Charlie Brown & continue to trust Lucy’s lies

We are definitely experiencing a constitutional crisis currently & morphing rapidly into an existential crisis if it continues

No doubt he’ll be fine but as a man of integrity, morals and ethics not making a stand is even more demoralizing . When you capitulate so willingly especially, if he has enough money to more than survive it’s not encouraging for a lower salaried employee to stand up.

Reuters article by David Shepardson January 28, 2025 “Duffy, who cleared a procedural hurdle to be confirmed on Monday on a 99-0 vote,” I see no misinformation since not 1 No vote was cast in the motion to move forward Duffy’s nomination.
