Let’s not forget the “Big Beautiful Bill’s” weakening the role US Marshals play in enforcing contempt violations.

Oh I missed that. Thanks Stanley. Yesterday Dems introduced a bill to move the US Marshals to the judiciary.

Lorraine, you’ve really spelled out how Trump has put incompetence as a top priority! Thanks!

LOL! You're right, Papa, it's all about degrading our country. 💔🤍💙

I think the more public talks he makes, he’s showing his own incompetence! 🫢

This is all a big clown show for MAGA. These bastards take pleasure in the misery and suffering of others.

Lolo, did you see Joyce Vance's piece yesterday? We need to be ready to move in the millions if they try to interfere with 2026 midterms!

"We have the opportunity to put a stop to this because we still have the right to vote—we need to prepare to exercise it while we can and take steps to protect free and fair elections ahead of 2026, which will be upon us sooner than you might think.

In the Philippines, under Ferdinand Marcos, authoritarian rule finally led millions to take to the streets in protest after two decades, when he tried to engage in election fraud. That provoked a military defection that led Marcos to flee the country.

The Soviet-backed Communist regime in Poland fell to the Solidarity trade union, led by Lech Wałęsa.

Americans have that innate ability in their bloodstream.

From 1773 and the Boston Tea Party to modern-day protests against an American president who wants to usurp the power that the Constitution assigns to Congress and the Judiciary, we know how to protest efforts to degrade our democracy.

Standing up to the bully works—in fact, it’s the only option. Ignoring it won’t make it go away."

Organized revolution is in the air with all my friends. Having worked for a number of military contractors, the non lethal weaponry that few know of is scary, but I don’t really care at this point!

Liberté, égalité, fraternité!!

Nailed it! "Take The Apprentice, a show that re-branded a failed New York mob boss as an expert in good business leaders."

Needs a rebrand to "Fuck You Dynasty" or "Make America Fuck Itself Again: MAFIA." Alternate choice: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."

Ugh, I didn’t know who Noel Casler was, but I just read some of what he is saying about the disgusting bag of filth in the Oval. Reminds me of the smell coming off the NJ Turnpike from rendering plants and petrochemicals. Here’s hoping the rancid orange pustule joins Jimmy Hoffa in the Meadowlands.

The sad part is that in retrospect 2016-2026 (arguably starting in 2008) might look like a ‘lost-decade(s)’, something Japan 🇯🇵 already experienced.

Some differences: Might be eroding those.

Labor and Immigration:

The U.S. has(d) more flexible labor markets and has historically benefited from immigration, which helps offset demographic decline.

More Aggressive Monetary Policy:

The Fed has generally acted faster and more decisively than the Bank of Japan did.

Innovation and Productivity:

The U.S. remains a global leader in tech innovation, which has propped up productivity in some sectors.

Global Reserve Currency:

The dollar’s dominance allows the U.S. more monetary and fiscal leeway than Japan has.

The creepiest part, Stephen, is that their whole project 2025 analyzed all of that ready to use the most effective means to destroy our systems. Imagine if they used competence for good. Pure evil.

We are of like minds. It is indeed Tramp's fat ass in the director's chair of the crappiest reality show ever. He never has a thought that doesn't include him imagining his audience gazing at him in admiration, those people that 'like' what he's doing, which would be the poorly educated, angry, bigoted, and the filthy rich amoral sycophants that praise his every fart.

Apologies for the crassness. You are absolutely right, the worst, most dangerous reality show ever. Arrrggghh.
