Miss Lisa, and, Mr. Pepper! Very, informative! Governor Beasher, in my, opinion, should, be, a, Vice President! No, name, constantly, teases, Mr. Sykes, he, should be, President! Both, of them, teach, master, classes, on economics, and, historically, President Trump!

Cheeto And His Downfall: Hatred Mixed With Dementia

As the dementia of Cheeto evolves, he has said publicly, “I hate Democrats” This is not only divisive but wants to take the country backwards to the late 1800’s when the working class was ridden rough shod by the wealthy “robber barons” which today are called billionaires

So the demented madman and emotionally impaired Cheeto is now posting AI generated vile Nazi propaganda of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, having the portrayed images making abusive lies about their own party’s constituents

Our military leaders listened to a ridiculous and deranged Disaster in Chief yesterday and they know that he is not well And the Congressional Nazis know that Cheeto is not well And the American people know the depravity and political perversity that Cheeto and his regime displays will make our country if allowed to continue as sick as he is

I take your point about cruelty being contagious but something else is at work here that deserves attention. The MAGA follower is a person without empathy--don't put a label on it as right or wrong at this point, but it is a fact--they can only understand and care about an issue when they perceive that it AFFECTS THEM. Thus, Marge Green came to her epiphany about health insurance costs not because she can feel someone else's pain but because her two children were going to have their premiums double. That is how their brains work; they need to experience the pain because they can't imagine it or care about it otherwise. In this sense, they need to directly experience the consequences of Trump's actions before they can join into any coalition to oppose them. They can't skip that step. It's a practical and immutable reality, sadly, for all of us.

Cruelty is the platform the Republicans ran and run on, so this isn't a case of partisanship, it's a case of morality. I have empathy that so many people are suffering because they voted to hurt others and it affected them too, but no sympathy for those still backing the vile people responsible for that cruelty.

I remember! Oh, man! I was in horrible hip pain for several years. I managed to get a job reporting to one of the nastiest people I had ever met. Anyone reading this who worked with me back then (which is unlikely) will know who I am talking about. Anyway, when I finally got surgery at The Hospital for Special Surgery, one of the doctors told me it was the worst he had ever seen and he did not know how I could stand it.

Thanks, Lisa. I'm in pretty good shape now, held together by titanium. (hips and shoulders) That's one of my reasons for following so many substacks. I don't want anyone to have to endure intense pain, including those all over our planet.
