have seen the pictures of the starving in Gaza. Remember people, this is what concentration camp victims looked like, that is those who survived. It is utterly appalling and without any excuse. I hope the perpetrators are hauled into courts and prosecuted for murder, crimes against humanity. If this is not a hate crime, I do not know what is.
We should be clear: Politics is about power. Anything goes. Nothing else matters. And power is about survival. Every species on this planet is innately aware of and takes action out of this simple truth. It is a truth that creates shame, fear, hatred and remorse....in all creatures. We have created belief systems across time to provide sacred understandings and foregiveness for our heinous acts of power to survive. No tribe, no state, no nation, no community, no individual has avoided the guilt, shame and continued practices that the need for power and survival generate.
Any opportunity to connect with former MAGA supporters on a shared concern, is a golden opportunity to build alliances, and to build a better country/drmocracy.
This article addresses what is likely with Murdoch's anti-trump attacks...he knows Don's on the way out and vance the heir. Hopefully Congressional leadership has a strategy to show that vance is just as dirty. Really bad feelings. https://substack.com/@richardgreenethecivicsdean/note/p-169116755?r=f2iy5
You are absolutely correct. We must view each other as victims in this wide ranging scheme to destroy democracy and replace it with a sick European history of upper class perversions of all kinds.
On top of all this we are finally beginning to hear from the first of some 80 plus victims and their attorneys that has and will be breaking through the attempt by Trump's fixer and the perjurer Maxwell and the GOP to cover up Trump's deep involvement with the sexual abuse of minors.
As I wrote in my Raw Story commentary on Wednesday:
The open arms message gives our side permission to take our collective foot off the gas. When Biden was elected "Whew, the danger has passed". Now y'all say maga is imploding - "OK, great, let's do the very thing that got us here, let's try our best to find common ground with maga". What are you suggesting here? More compromise with those who view compromise as a weakness? I'd like to see y'all be very specific about how you see a maga welcoming. If maga wants to defect, good - but they come over on our terms, not theirs.
I don't think the plan is to let them take over. Just to say Yeah you got duped. He's a slick one. You can come sit at our lunch table and see if you like what's on our menu.
Maxwell’s testimony = a ‘Shotgun Wedding’ if she is not given a ‘truth-inducing’ drug or a ‘polygraph’. This would be done by the present regime to achieve a ‘goal’ of THEIRS!
Should she ‘survive’ to testify…🤔…as was already mentioned in the first comments, her desperation to attain freedom is incentive to say ‘whatever Trump wants her to’. DUH!
THE CONVICTED FELON - TRUMP - NOT MAXWELL, IS ALSO DESPERATE TO APPEAR INNOCENT OF ABUSING ‘CHILDREN’, BUT SINCE HE HAS NO SELF-CONTROL, NO EMPATHY, NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN, NO COMMON DECENCY, AND NO REGARD FOR ANY LEGAL PRECEDENT…HOW DOES ANY OTHER PERSON >>>AND THAT MEANS 🫵 YOU <<< TRUST SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL?
The “American Constitution” has a ‘safeguard’ clause that, I am sure at the time seemed excessive and even rather ‘paranoid’, to say that a ‘convicted felon’ was definitely NOT an individual deserving of leading the country 🇺🇸…
It boggles the mind that after all the overt indicators between 2017 and 2021 that Trump was desirous of being a lifetime DICTATOR > “SUPREME LEADER”, DEMAGOGUE, AUTHORITARIAN, AND “KING”👑 < STILL the uninformed or equally as moronic as his IQ VOTED FOR THAT.
Time to FACE REALITY…as ugly and murderous as it is.
“Me Too” was LAUGHED AT and joked about by the 😾-grabbing DJT.
WOMEN OF AMERICA…are you going to take ‘that’??And are you going to fail the mere children that Epstein preyed upon and offered to his cronies like CANDY - INCLUDING DONALD TRUMP (who didn’t read old copies of “Playboy” and pleasure himself while the ‘real men’ raped young girls!) Does he take half the country for FOOLS!.! 🤨
Stand up to this bully who 🖕🖕🖕 the Judiciary System of America.
Why are we letting these people starve to death? Are we next…. This is so egregious! Genocide by government. All that food being thrown out and we are letting people starve? I don’t know what to do to help?
Having begun studying bad faith politics in the 1960s, I am coming to see that bad faith is seemingly concentrated in the Repugnican Party* (hence the altered spelling), and following my other discoveries about the origins of emotional immaturity in the "obedience training" (Lakoff's "strict father") substitute for nurturant parenting, it is ever more apparent that every word from the MAGA mouth these days is projection -- every charge is a reflection of THEMSELVES.
* with traceable antecedents and strategy. It's rooted in the caste system of the Old South, spread after the war as the losers (sic) spread out for easier pickings. It has infected too much of our social sensibility, been too much excused, and is as responsible for the Gaza holocaust as Netanyahu's government. Time we took a good look (thanks, Joan Williams!) and healed ourselves.
I hate to be a Cassandra does anyone really believe anything of substance is going to result from the Epstein Affair? In 2016 Donald bragged about grabbing women by their private parts and was elected anyway. In 2021 he led an effort to overthrow the United States government. in 2024 he was convicted of 34 felonies. Nevertheless, Republicans in general and the Base in particular sent him back to the White House. Since January the president has run roughshod over the Constitution and put the economy on the road to disaster yet Republicans remain solidly behind. Given all of this, can anyone really believe anything that comes out of the Epstein is going to impact anything, or that the Republicans won’t figure out how to neutralize it if it does? The Epstein matter may make a feckless Democratic opposition feel good about itself, but at the end of the day, I for one doubt anything will come of it.
One Word: “Gestapo” … the American ‘equivalent’ has yet to emerge. It will be a force far worse than the masked ICE goons now swiping at innocent victims randomly.
With the co-operation of the villains in Homeland Security, and their supply of LISTS from the now-compromised FBI and CIA, Trump will be getting orgasmic ‘fixes’ of reports similar to Hitler’s great joy when the ‘numbers’ of arrested, imprisoned and massacred Jews were brought to him.
😔
To picture pure evil, read or view the actual film footage of the Gestapo’s exploits during WWII, and then try not to imagine it happening in the USA…😱
…because the sporadic grabbing of Americans off the street now will soon not be enough to placate the drooling, rabid hyena in the Oval Office. He waited…constantly scheming for 4 years since Jan6/21…to ‘punish’ America for rejecting ‘wonderful him’…and now the real reason for getting his feet back under the Big Desk is obvious:
MONEY (1st and always 1st); POWER; REVENGE; FAME; LUST > the ‘Blonde Bimbo’ Administration; and MOST IMPORTANT of all - to a malignant narcissist - in his own mind ‘proof’ he is better than truly intelligent people…um…
... and then what? Trump will not be impeached by Johnson's house or Jeffries' house. He will not be defanged. His extortion racket is working just fine and, if anything, ramping up. MAGA turning on him means zero for the material lives of people around the world or right here in America devastated by his explicit actions, not to speak of his incompetence. So, the delight we feel at South Park and birthday books are luxuries we, perhaps, are due. But for me, fiddling comes to mind, while Rome is burning, Nero.
F FFOTUS and all his pathetic regime minions!! Winter is coming and the Blue F’n Revolution began and will crush the maga MOFOs! Oaths we have taken my military colleagues, time to fulfill them. Ooh f’n rah!!

Agree wholeheartedly. So long as the perpetrators include the murdering rapist hostage holders who started this tragedy.
