I’ve been telling my Magat relatives for months how I am ashamed of them. Maybe pride goeth before a fall but they have previously been people I revered, had great respect for even with the inevitable shortcomings, and had great pride. Now my mother, perhaps even me will surely die in the midst of this national embarrassment. I AM so ashamed. USA - the Ununited States of Ashame. MAGA - Masked American (maybe) Goons Attacking. I hope the evil people keep falling down faster. I thought surely Leon mush would be taken out by the kick back from his chainsaw. I guess you have to actually be cutting a large object before you might suffer the consequences of chainsaw kickbacks.

Every MAGA flag I see says ‘pedophile’ to me. (I have a rhyming tic and there are no Suessicologists in my provider network.) MAGA, good luck washing off the mark of the beast. #MonstersWalkAmongUs

The awful thing is that years ago Bill Barr, and following DOJ legal practice and tradition tied Robert Mueller's hands when Mueller and his staff knew damn well about Russia's promotion of Donald Trump to destroy the United States. This roller coaster has now landed. Autocracy and authoritarianism are here. We have a dictator not even a king. We are all doing what we can to not roll over. It's difficult. I hope Michael Wolff's story gets to CNN, MSNBC, and elsewhere. Russian money laundering, and the Russian ghouls are no joke and have been operating for decades under our noses. With Donald's Trump's aid and to his benefit.

Cheeto Gaslights America

The Orange Cheeto just fired on Friday the Bureau of Labor Statistics and will undoubtedly put in a lackey to affect the unemployment numbers There are many other statistic laden government agencies that will have their “trusted stats” altered to please Der Fuhrer This is going to have to happen with all kinds of information once released by the Federal government because under the current Nazi regime no information will be trustworthy

As Cheeto said in his first campaign in 2016 “Don’t believe what you hear or see or read, believe me” Gaslighting is my gig!! Cheeto is all about having reality bend his way

Cheeto has never been about facts because that counters his lying So get rid of any good information....witness JFK Jr doing this with medical information No climate change, no housing problem, no inflation, nothing to see here because there's no information so you can deny anything

if you want independent companies that will give you the true inflation numbers Chapwood Index and/or Shadowstats These companies have been around a long time and good sources of information

Welcome to an authoritarian state

Do you think Michael Wolff's post that Trump used Russian money to outbid Epstein to buy a Palm Beach mansion is a bigger reason to get rid of the Epstein story? Could it be a reason to make Ghislaine Maxwell the big story b/c money laundering for Russia, or supporting Russia, is treasonous (or used to be until now)?

I wish more people (and at least SOME folks in MSM) would pay attention to this Wolfe fact. And Epstein/Maxwell at the DJT nuptials which makes “dates” of the bromance breakup questionable (at least!!). There are lots more Victim pictures and depositions (keep names redacted) in the public sphere that Wolfe can know or point to.

Thank you, Maxine. Not only is Trump the swamp, he's also a crocodile in it.

Just a funny comment concerning the economy and age. My husband went to buy a gallon of paint. Folks like us touch up with paint rather than buying all new siding for the house or garage, etc. The paint he was purchasing was $50 a galleon. My husband told me the conversation he had with young man waiting on him. He said, " Paint has really gotten expensive. I remember when it was $19.99." The young man looked blankly at him and then said, " I don't know about that. All I know about 1999 is the year I was born." My husband told me this when he came home. We both had a good laugh. This has been a horrible week, a laugh was needed. Definitely time to hammer down that Trump is the swamp. Not draining the swamp. Thanks, Joe and Alex. Take care.

I still like thinking about the popular female vocal performing artist that performed with Paul McCartney on the 50th anniversary of SNL. He mentioned 1975 and she implied she wouldn’t know about that b/c she wasn’t yet born. Then she quipped, in fact my mother wasn’t even born yet :) Here’s consolation, the $19.99 can of paint probably had lead in it. Kind of like unleaded gas - always more expensive…Dumb human tricks, we pay more for stuff that has less stuff in it. Still loving the cooler weather in DE.
