Watching him with their thumbs in their mouths. Or somewhere else

If had been published as a novel it wouldn't have been believable, yet here we are.

This is Putin and the Koch Network (Project 2025). Working flawlessly.

It is hundreds, perhaps thousands of very bright, evil men and women from the Heritage foundation and other national groups who have planned this coup. Trump is just the figure head who gets to play with all his shinny toys to keep our attention. Think of a thousand Stephen Millers. We cannot let them win.

To the extent they've used this petulant manchild they've nothing more than bomb throwing anarchists and hardly capable of sensible management of achieving goals, no matter how nefarious such goals may be.

I think he has an obsessed following who will support him and his no matter what. Trump is doing an excellent job of keeping all eyes on himself even as he gets crazier and crazier. Maybe that's the point. All we see us the damage in front of us, which is considerable. We don't see the damage being done behind the scenes. Maybe these people aren't the brightest, but they are obsessed and that, I fear makes up for a lack of intelligence. However this chapter comes out our country will never be the same. The hope I have is that this insanity will push us to do better and we will be a better country and better people for it. Some days I think I'm whistling in the wind.

even holding the most powerful job on earth hasn't given what his f*cked up psyche craves. He's burning down the house on the way out.

the willfully ignorant and the chronically uninformed.

I haven't quite figured out how he does it, but the inescapable fact is he does.

It seems he was electable. For some strange reason, a large enough percentage of the electorate found him “charismatic”, “charming”, “funny”, “honest” (???) such that he now sits in the Oval Office. And the shadowy billionaires that backed him WILL get their precious tax cuts.

I’m sure they wish they could have gotten a modicum of competence and decorum with the package, but they got enough.

And as you said, “yet here we are”.

We don't really know who is the power behind him. But the radical Republicans, the magas, play the long game and don't give up. What seems to be happening quickly now has likely been planned for years.
Meanwhile, Democrats have failed to be vigilant in protecting the nation against what has happened. We have been complacent and overconfident that what is happening now could never happen here. Until it does.

Even severe malignant narcissism is considered to be a personality disorder, not a mental illness, but power psychosis is a serious mental illness because it's what happens when a powerful person loses contact with reality. A Google search produced this AI-generated summary:

And many others in this shit show of an administration. I hope it will be their downfall.

up to the challenge??? it is autocracy or democracy??? I vote democracy. Fight, our lives depend on it. No matter how small or how big, go state level, go protest, call your Reps and Senators This is our country dammit!!!!!!

He's said (Kinda' like)....The people in the office have changed in the way I can't believe. They were once hopeful
guys and dolls but, many have the an attitude like "I just care for my family" "What happens outside is somebody else's problems"
"We can't care for the whole of. society"
ME >> We can't care for the whole of society?????
Those people were NOT like that a while ago... AGGH

like, without asking, you know who they voted for.......

They deserve to be.

Geeezzz.

They could stop this slide tomorrow, but every one of them are cowards and traitors to the United States and their oaths of office. History will judge them harshly.

will learn to be vigilant and not complacent or overconfident. Ours was a sin of national pride because we didn't believe that what Trump has so quickly done could ever happen here because the Founding Fathers had all the checks & balances and Constitutional protections that would save us. The kind of stuff that is happening now only happens to lesser nations--NOT the United States of America. Until it does and it has.

he wouldn't know the first thing about the agencies being decimated. It takes a lot of someones with lots of knowledge to know where to aim the sledgehammers. It truly is the Republicans dream come true, and something they've been working towards for decades. It's the coupe de gras. Donald is the perfect front man for the crescendo of the long con. It's surprising how simple it all seems now. States with GOP proof majorities. Wealth and power up the yazoo to supply any thing needed to keep their foot on the pedal.

he will be gone.
Frankly, I don't see how the country remains intact after this because it certainly cannot be called the "United" States when nothing other than geography unites us.
Sorry, Ben. We couldn't keep it.

America will go quietly into the dark of authoritarianism, facilitated by the same fear, ignorance, and stupidity that put the likes of Trump, a criminal and convicted felon, back in power.

Churchill stated at a conference that the British want ALL of their colonies back after the war. Stalin looked and Churchill, then Roosevelt, back at Churchill and said "All of them?" The two had a chuckle and Roosevlet said "Now I get it".

That was a joke, this guy on the other hand...

I seem to remember more of the teachings from the Bible,
than what THEY now ignore for POLITICAL reasons!!!!


Some of them now go so far as to say that the teachings of Jesus should be ignored---
because they are "too woke", and, God forbid--- sorta "socialist"!


Took them a long time to figure THAT out, didn't it???

What they worship now is The BEAST-- and a lot of them now wear his mark
on their foreheads....

Where they are the commanders and control everyone - mostly to fulfill their sexual desires.
