Retired boomer lady, trying to figure out how to navigate the distopian hellscape that is the country I once was so proud to be a part of.

The GOP has been a dead party walking since 2016, with its internal infrastructure decaying while Trump's domination of national politics has papered over much of the rot. But now, Trump's popularity is starting to really run out, and there's nothing left to cover what the GOP has become.

And recall that Gen. Kelly bought this book while he was chief of staff because he wanted to understand, and wanted others in the White House to understand, the nature of Trump's psychiatric disorders 👉👉 www.abebooks.com/first-editio...

Trump’s ex-chief of staff John Kelly said this to me, six years ago: “I don't know how he’s not in an institution somewhere, whether it’s jail or a nuthouse. He’s a seriously sick guy. I never heard him saying anything that wasn’t a lie.” Trump has only gotten worse since.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

👺Donald Trump Is Now More Unpopular Than Joe Biden on the Economy: ‘Trump’s approval on the economy has fallen to a new low of just 26%, with only 17% approving of his handling of the cost of living’🇺🇸

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

I have no faith that Americans will do the right thing in the mid terms, despite Trump’s outrageous Presidency. They elected him twice proving Trump understands who Americans are much better than we do. To me, they don’t seem to value or understand the role of government in society. “Freedom!” 😩 🤞

IMPOSSIBLE. He's been a perpetual, non-stop source of embarrassment to all decent humans since he first rode down that escalator to declare all Mexicans criminals, drug dealers & rapists. He's the worst thing to happen to our country, EVER.

They’re begging people to go at this point.

If you are a “person of faith” who refuses to accept that medical science will help your children live a long and healthy life, you are an unfit parent because you are putting their lives at risk by choosing religious superstition over critical thinking.

I agree with all of this except it’s more optimistic than I am. This assumes that when Trump is gone, Americans will become the decent people we have incorrectly perceived ourselves to be. Putting Trump in power a second time proves the first time was no fever dream.

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.
