Trump’s incoherent address to my brothers and sisters of USMA Class of 2025 was so disgustingly toxic I had to immediately listen to Benny Havens Ho and Madison’s of the Lord from the Cadet Glee Club to purge my brain of pollution

As a dog returns to it’s vomit, so a fool repeats his foley. So says Proverbs. Trump are you reading this? OBTW, you’re the fool!

Jesus say “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”To all the billionaires, trump and musk included, are you listening. From birth to death we pass between the two eternities. Your’s passage into the next is not favorable!!

If trump were successful in cooping our major news networks; I would beseech our friends in Canada to launch “Radio Free America”. Vive Liberte

Citizens, gird yourselves. Our lawless Whitehouse will go to any length to seize and hold power. We also have a corrupt GOP that enables them. Trump’s next big move will be invoking the Insurrection Act to stop public demonstrations and resistance to lawlessness. That will likely lite the fuse!!!

Yo! Gov. Pritzker, let’s fix bayonets and charge the GOP with mucho gusto!! Show no quarter!

Trump muses about making Canada the 21st state, MAGA chortles and I wonder, what about Quebec? The contrarian Province of a French speaking cultural island in North America. All these years, Canadians have been challenged to maintain control of Canadiens. I’m not sure Trump et al are up to the task.

In 1793, during the French Revolution, a National Convention debated what to do about Louis Bourbon. Deputy Louis Antoine Saint-Just said, “A virtuous Republic cannot allow somebody who has been King to live. Every king is a rebel and a usurper. He must die to ensure the repose of the people.

As a result of trump’s moves against Ukraine, all of you who voted for him now have blood on your hands. Scores of Ukrainian civilians and soldiers will die as a result his action and your votes that put him in a position to do this! There will be a reconning, in this life or the next.

Somebody needs to remind 47 what happened to Louis XVI when he, at the end, stood against the people and their grievances. It was ugly. Telling protesters they’ll be jailed or telling GOP Reps and Sen not to hold “town hall” meetings is a really bad idea.

What a disaster today’s White House news conference with Zelensky was. JV Vance is good for blowing things up but clueless on diplomacy. Where is little Rubio in all this? AWOL from playing a prominent roll. He is impotent as SOS. On to WW III!

It was the combination of supply shortfalls and rising prices of bread that precipitated the French Revolution in 1789. Today, the historical parallel may be the egg situation in the USA not to mention all the other grocery product inflationary increases.

To anyone who still calls themselves Republican who has failed to standup for traditional Republican values and push back hard against all that trump is doing has become the “banality of evil”. They have forfeited the privilege to call themselves patriots or Christian.

Did you ever think that one EGG could wield more political power than all the gold in Fort Knox. We’ll think again. Over the course of several months to come the EGG could bring Trump down. I wonder how he likes them? Scrambled, fried, or poached. I’ll take mine any way with grits. Thank you

The US is abandoning Europe. Trump et al are letting on the US leaving NATO. The EU is assessing future Ukrainian support. Fr, GB and Ger may send combat forces. A treaty is unlikely. Russia is now seen as a US partner. Everything is ripe for an expanded European war. Just a matter of time.

“Quisling” Don is a “useful idiot” for Russia as he surrenders any bargaining leverage to Putin in his rush to make peace at any cost. We are witness to history. We are at the door step of a new European war as Trump pulls the US out of Europe; not in our national security interests!!

JV (Junior Varsity) Vance set a new world record yesterday in alienating our European friends. He had the temerity to chastise them on issues we ourselves have created to greater degrees internally. Unadulterated “projection”. What a small mindless dufus putz he is! EspritLiberte

Trump sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office while Musk pontificates looks like a potted plant. Wish he were. Nope he’s a deranged depraved old man!!

If Trump and his MAGA lackeys thumb their noses to court orders, then Americans still have the streets to force compliance. Vive La Revolution. Esprit Liberte

The pony run, he jumped, he pitch He threw my master in the ditch He died and the jury wondered why The verdict was the blue tail fly Jimmy, crack corn, I don't care Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care My master's gone away

50501 Movement Organizes Its First Rally At State Capitol, Targeting Trump, Project 2025, And Elon Musk ctnewsjunkie.com/2025/02/05/5...

Is it possible to be more stupid than Trump. His “…we’ll own it…” policy for Gaza plays right into Iran’s strategy to unit the Middle East against Israel and the US. All at the same time he’s gutting the FBI and CIA. Single handle he’s made America less secure. Oh the joy to do Trump stuff again

The Felon’s oligarch mafia is actively engaged in a coup d’etat. Anyone supporting this endeavor is party to it and thus should be considered a traitor to this nation and our Constitution

Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”. The problem is there are Republicans in Congress who, to a person, have cowered to trump. If they are good do something. If not, they are presumed bad thus they become evil. Esprit Liberte!!

Hegseth did exactly what he said he wouldn’t do: politicize the Pentagon. What he’s done to Gen. Milley is disgraceful and dishonorable. He’s executing Trump’s vendetta. Hegseth has no honor, no code and is making all us less safe!

Then there is Melania. Dressed as ‘femme fatale’. Her inaugural attire was more fit for a funeral than celebration of a new administration. Ah, but perhaps that’s the message she was conveying in dress code: the funeral of American democracy. Given trumps executive orders, we are on a funeral march.

The red white blue “cockade” made famous during the French Revolution was a symbol for liberty. I wear it today as a counter-MAGA icon against fascism and tyranny. Join me and wear one too. Esprit Liberte

Defend yourself by actively affiliating with organizations whose purpose is to defend our constitutional rights of speech, assembly, press, choice, freedom from religion, etc.. Become critical thinkers. Seek the truth, don’t assume it is so because self asserting authorities say so. Esprit liberte
