If you’re gonna bow to a dictator, you might as well kiss your ass goodbye stand for what’s right or settle for what’s left.

Anybody who still thinks they can get ahead by getting close to Trump is a fool.

Einstein defined insanity as making the same mistake repeatedly and expecting a new outcome. He looked like a nutzo german with a grey jew fro - but he was smarter than he looked. Trump is not looking smart and is in reality much dumber than he looks

Nixon lost to Kennedy because he looked like a liar on TV and his rival was handsome. He had scores of affairs and Marilyn Monroe got to seduce him in front his Jackie O and all of our Nation. Look at his brother Bobby and his son Junior now. RFK Jr may have a better tan than Trump but they are both still angry white men who believe they can turn the tide of american supremacy without any moral majority or brains. The world is watching and most humans are not this shade of horrible.

Nobody can settle for what is left with this President - he has ruined the office and destroyed our world standing as we hurdle our once great nation toward oblivion.

The Singularity is a real thing - it is the Singular cowardice of every woman and man who still believes in Trump

Beautifully said. I have always thought if there was the internet and social media there would be no JFK and certainly not that bullshit about Camelot. Trump will go down in history not only as our worst President, but right up there with Putin and Xi as the trifecta of evil in the 21st century.

And yet we still have rump, and people still voted for him, even with the Internet, and even knowing that he boinked a porn star with his infant son just born and all the thousands of other horrible things from mocking a disabled reporter to destroying our standing in NATO to destroying our economy, all for the “price of eggs?” Whoever can manipulate the Internet can rule the world as Putin has figured out.

We're living in different times.We didn't know any of that during JFK's time. There was still mystery. Now there is none. This country lost a lot of its moral compass a long time ago and worship at the altar of money and bling and things. I happen to be into film and mostly classic ones and stories of Hollywood and movie stars. They were all doing drugs and drinking and swinging from.the chandeliers in the 1920s but we didn't know until years later. They had publicists who kept that stuff quief. Like they kept JFK and RFK quiet. . We had better educations even if it was just public school and not even college. Now we have influencers and gansta rappers and reality TV stars. I didn't grow up like that. I am also proud to say I have never seen one reality show. No Honeyboo Bear. Not one Bravo show or one Real Housewife of anywhere. I can't and don't understand these people who worship Trump. I do understand those that were Republicans who were fiscally conservative (not crazy MAGAS who are a cult) and these Christians who think he is the 2nd.coming and the Messiah who will.save them. It used to be ok to disagree. Some of my fave people I follow are ex-Repub conservatives because they were in the middle of it. They tried to warn people. These others thought they were getting a brilliant businessman billionaireI have never seen The Apprentice. Not once. I know he was a gold-plated lowlife who stiffed anyone he did business with and bankrupted every business he had. Those of us who listened and read Project 2025 and lived through his trials and an insurrection knew, but keep telling the lie of alternative facts and fake news and it will stick. See Nazi Germany and Hitler.

There were many Dems who were unhappy with Biden. The border. He was dealing with two wars. There were many who were just apathetic and sat out the election. Trump lied to every one who was unhappy with Joe and/or would not vote for a woman again and his disgusting Nazi rallies and his demeaning names. We knew he was running TO STAY OUT OF JAIL! But noone could imagine he would blow up the world in the first 5 days. I honestly have not one ounce.of sympathy and zero fucks to give for his whore of a wife because that's what she was and is. They live separate lives and she got exactly what she wanted. Stormy Daniels has always been honest about exactly who she is. You don't think Melania cheats on him? She's had a boyfriend for years. Everyone knows that. Melania saw what he did to Ivana. She saw what he did to Marla. She knew about Epstein. She was knee deep. She was in it for the money and getting her parents here and having the.kid sealed the deal like many of these trophy wives with older rich husbands. What she couldn't stand was the embarrassment. Too bad. Where is she?.She is pay-for play. What is happening in the world is not just the internet and Putin's troll farms. We are watching the digression and dumbing down of society. I was not manipulated by the internet and social media.I knew a bot when I saw one on Twitter. I knew how to block lunatics. I was not sucked into a.black hole. But no one expected him to blow up up our economy and the world order of 80 years or a SCOTUS that would make him a king. Plenty of blame to go around. This has been in the works for 50 years. #1 to blame is Mitch McConnell. He could have ended it with the first or 2nd impeachment. I hear your anger and frustration. That's why we are all here. I follow lots of different voices on substack. I listen to both sides because you have to know how the enemy thinks. He didn't win by a landslide. Something like 250,000 votes could have changed everything. But it didn't. And now we will have to live with the fallout and it's not going to change in a week. I don't think we will.make it to 2026. Many of the billionaires and millionaires who supported him are now freaking out. Everyone is being affected by this erratic demented twisted fool and Elon Musk. No one is safe.

Teslas are safe - if they get put in orbit.

Melania has a 2nd Post Nup - it says she does not ever have to sleep in the White House or Maralago and she gets all decisions power for the raising of their poor son. Who names their son Baron? von Trumpf

May they all get shipped off to Mars for his arrival!

I think she's on her 3rd. She's the longest wife and Virst Ledy so she gets all the goodies, and her own crypto too. She really knows how to cash in. Ka-ching.

In NYC Trump used a fake name "John Barron" when he was calling into the papers for PR or to call the gossip columnists with "blind items" about "Donald Trump" but everyone knew it was him that was calling--that voice. So it figures he would name that kid Barron. I chuckled when you wrote Baron von Trumf. Sound like the kids from the von Trapp family from" the sound of music.'
