If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

He did say before the presidential election, “Vote for me this one time Christians and you’ll never have to vote again, we’re going to fix it so you’ll never have to vote again” Am I the only one who remembers this??

Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with. He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'. I loathe him even more now. I just want him gone. Fuck trump 8647 #TheAlliedForces

People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

I'm skimming through mentions of Trump in the Trump-Epstein Files, and there's one thing that I'm thinking over and over: All we had to do was believe the women. There are dozens of stories in here that make me ill. Do you really believe these are all lies?

We can honor Catherine O'Hara through buying, renting, and streaming her filmography over the next few days, so that the revenue is more than the box office receipts for "Melania" on opening weeken--oh, excuse me... [puts finger to ear] ...okay, yes, I'm being told that's already happened.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country. But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes. That's not the service for which we thank them.

It’ll always be insane and despicable that the orange convicted felon was given full power of the US govt instead of being sent to prison forever where he belongs and is now using that power to try throwing his perceived enemies in prison for fake crimes.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

The receipts. 👀

Alina Habba in Feb: “On Epstein, it’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, info, names that will come out. There were so many names hidden who had not been held accountable. Now it’s time for accountability. I really believe with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.”

This makes me so sad.

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

Netanyahu: “Hey Donald, I need some help. Can you take out the nuclear facilities in Iran?” Trump: “What’s in it for me?” N: “Well, what do you want?” T: “The Nobel Peace Prize. You have to over-the-top praise me publicly, and then nominate me.” N: “Done.” T: “I gotta go golf now. Talk soon.”

You wouldn’t have a single house built without Mexicanos. You wouldn’t have strawberries or tomatoes or cantaloupe or cabbage or lettuce or the grapes to make your Chardonnay or Merlot without the backbreaking work of Mexicanos. White ppl demonize the very ppl who literally put food on your plate.

And yet, it was both grief-worthy and rage-inducing to realize that America is now synonymous with spectacularly ignorant voters, unrepentant racists, and with a vile ignoramus whose presence in the loftiest position he neither respects nor deserves, is disrupting life for people across the planet.

johnpavlovitz.substack.comI Just Got Back From Europe. They All Know That America's a Mess and That He's Nuts.My family and I had barely been in our Lisbon Uber for ninety seconds when our gregarious driver Nuno, recognizing our accents asked, “So… are you pro-Trump or anti-Trump?”

Catchy AND important!
