I wish I had your confidence, all of you. The supporters I saw on line today think the congresswomen are horrible commies who need to leave the country. One guy told me that where he works, people support shooting refugees at the border. I think that might be the next time. I don't see Republicans turning against him. One or two are covering their asses with tepid remarks but that's it. George Will's podcast today was devastating. He says you can't unring the bell, and getting rid of Trump will not end all this horror - he has changed the presidency forever. And he pointed out that the Republicans turned against Nixon long before this. And they're not turning yet.
Well, the Republicans may win again there, but I don't see getting McConnell out as a problem. His popularity is awful - I've heard anywhere from 12 to 26 percent.
That comment made me laugh more then anything. Because 3 of the 4 women were born here. This is there country.
who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all)
So again he is subconsciously talking about his own administration and himself. At the moment we have the most corrupt, incompetent, total catastrophe and inept president. Thank you for admitting you was talking about you. This is the reason that these 4 women ran for the house. Because they believe that they can clean the most corrupt administration. He always projects himself while trying to bring down other people.
Anita I wish I could tell you that we can oust Mitch. We are trying HARD. The problem is his rich friends and the poor people in this state vote Republican no matter what. They believe everything he tells them even when he turns around and laughs in their faces. The other problem is good candidates to run against him. Amy is good but has already been challenged on some of her policy statements. Some are labeling her too much of a politician. I can't give you specifics because i haven't been following that closely. It's too early for me to get to emersed yet. Plus I've been busy.
I did however see the four Congresswomen's response to the moron yesterday. It was right on point. He can't and won't defend his policies so he attacks theirs. He is obviously unable to handle smart strong women. They treaten him. He likes them beautiful and under his thumb. All this mess with Epstein and now Mueller testifing is sending him deeper and deeper into mental illness. It's like he doesn't know who to attack next.
I agree with you Jeanne. The dems are speaking out aginst his attackes. The Reps - crickets.
What you see online is not a true indication what is out there. Most of what remains of the GOP and Trump supporters are......trying to put this nicely.....dumb as all hell. The bulk of the people who are liberal, or conservative with a brain, have given up arguing with people who refuse to listen or acknowledge facts so theyve gone quiet in that sense. Its basically 5 idiots yelling in a room 25 people. The idiots get all the focus, but they arent the majority.
That said, sadly, that does not mean they cant win the election because they are plenty willing to cheat to win. They just arent the majority.
Borowitz report today: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/democratic-congresswomen-urge-trump-to-go-back-to-russia
"Democratic Congresswomen Urge Trump to Go Back to Russia"
"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Four Democratic congresswomen issued a brief statement on Monday urging President Donald Trump to go back to Russia and improve the dire conditions of that country.
In the tersely worded statement, the four lawmakers—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York; Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota; Ayanna Pressley, of Massachusetts; and Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan—indicated that Russia was “broken and crime-infested” and required Trump’s immediate attention.
The statement went on to suggest that, once Trump had fixed the problems plaguing Russia, he could return to the United States and “show us how.”
In a tweet, Trump mocked the congresswomen, contrasting them with the “real revolutionaries” honored over the weekend on Bastille Day. “In 1789, these brave people stormed Louis XVI’s airports,” he wrote."
The four Congresswomen's reaction yesterday to Trump's racist tweets is worth watching. Four empowered brave women. Who will empower you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex1aeIYTAt0
I have a pretty strong feeling/sense that Donald Trump is going to experience a stroke and that will be what silences him. If not this Fall, the next. The Trump family will be pushed aside/dismissed (all with proper sympathy) but firmly.
Yes, I feel it is a process and it will happen and it is poetic irony as it is a function of climate change that floods this old tree's foundation and robs it of its strength, its entrenchedness, it is undone. Of course, the branches it supports will fall as well.
T has FTD. Dementia. He won't last until the election. Many will fall. They've bet on the wrong horse.
Lawrence, your posts always give me so much hope.
I had a personal reading with someone the other day who I had not spoken to in a couple years. At the end of my reading I asked her about Trump and whether she saw him getting re-elected or not. She said she felt he would get ill and that is what will take him out of the race.
A Christchurch Mosque shooting survivor was at the White House today and thanked Trump on behalf of the people of New Zealand for his leadership. I live in New Zealand so I had a bit of a wtf moment. I was also listening to talk back radio and the topic was Trump, and every caller praised Trump and said that we need a leader like him.
Beyond depressing.
I pay attention to the posts on here where people say he will stand down due to ill health, as nothing else seems to stop him. Even the appalling racism this week doesn’t seem to bother many, it whips up their hatred even more.
I was born in the UK and it looks like the idiot Boris Johnson will become Prime Minister. Trump loves him so that says all you need to know. The world has gone mad.
Hi everyone. I have favor to ask anyone on here who throws cards or reads intuition. I don't know where to post this because I know the elections are still far away. But, here in Ky we have two Dem's running to replace Mitch and I wonder if anyone can throw cards or gets a intuitive hit for us? The names are Amy McGrth and Mike Broihier. Both ex marines one a mother and the other a farmer. Neither from Louisville. It is important to note that people in Western and Eastern KY hate Louisville and will not support a candidate from here, even thought Mitch is. Go figure. Jeanne I hope this is OK to post. If not I won't be offended!
Hererightnow I was surprised to see Boris in the front running. I think he is a clown.
Another thing to remember, the Reps are sending the moron out on the road for his freak shows to get him out of the WH. He is losing what is left of his mind and the more time he has on his hands the worst he gets. I just know that the majority of the people I know from any walk of life, are so sick of all the hate that they are totlly turned off by all this crap. He is now trying to claim the one of the squad is married to her brother. He will stop at nothing to incite hate.
These displays of hailing Trump are contrived. They are contrived as are the advancement of Boris Johnson. The world has not gone mad but dark money is busy advancing the dark money agenda. They want you to think that a vast majority is supporting these sick freaks of nature, but it is not true.
Ten years ago there suddenly began to appear young people in my town and neighboring towns standing in front of U.S. Post Offices with leaflets showing Obama with Hitler mustache and advancing the Tea Party agenda. I approached these kids and asked them if they were getting paid and indeed they were. They didn't know at all what they were advancing. It was Koch Brother funded and it was the beginning of what is going on now worldwide but with much more sophistication than hiring a bunch of half wit kids to stand on the streets.
It's an old trick that the U.S. used during the latter half of the 20th century to overthrow over 13 countries, only our government sent in special forces. It's all documented now. Send in mercenaries or special forces or these days send in Internet bots to foment an uprising of support for extreme right wing. Then everyone is convinced that the majority supports these right wing powers. Well they don't. And if the dark money succeeds in getting themselves in power or in continuing their reign of power, it still will only be a matter of time before their power disintegrates. Why? Because people are natural forces of nature and people will not be controlled and abused and treated like automatons for long.
No doubt about it - here in the US we are suffering under Minority Rule. I don't see that changing for at least 40 years, but I'm not the best intuitive on here, so take my pessimism with a grain of salt.
