Like the preservation for display of Lenin's body, I can foresee Peter Thiel financing a giant tomb for the dead Trump where we all can go to pay homage.
Then, we may never know when or if Trump is really dead. I'm thinking his close advisors may pull some stunt like "WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S" to perpetuate his rule and their paychecks.
Although Donnie and Vlad think they are in charge, the Ukrainians are doing the fighting and the war won't stop without them being a party to the agreement. Donald is SO stupid, he thinks they will pay attention to a twit who wears more makeup than a male prostitute, with Liberace hair. His demand for half of Ukrain's mineral wealth is nothing more than a sleezy, disgusting protection racket, unworthy of the U. S. Remember that MAGA is the sound people make when vomiting, and the proper name for those people is MAGGATS, like maggots.
Trump and his minions can't hold a candle to Zelensky, who is a true hero. Long may he and his country live, and soon may the maggots run themselves into the ground before our country is gone.
One thing this black plague of hate and death cannot abide is a real, living hero like Zelensky. Think about this man who is giving up everything to save his country. Compare Volodymyr Zelenskyy to this psychopath who resorts to printing up image enhanced cards of himself in superhero costumes and sells them to his fans!
I have been using that exclusively for years now. When you look in the natural order of things at what a maggot is and does, maggot is the only descriptor that fits his ‘base”. I couldn’t agree with you more Susan. 🙏
Not a particularly cheery Substack post, but necessary nonetheless. I grieve for Ukraine and am enraged at Trump's obscene lies about who started the conflict. The idiocracy is alive and well.
Every day, the mendacious treachery reaches new peaks that completely beggar belief. This shivving of Ukraine, and Zelenskyy personally, are particularly disgusting. I would certainly chip in to the gofundme for those dozers.
Agree Lucian, thanks making me feel like I am not being gas lit by what MAGA calls a "Russian Hoax." Sure seems like the hoax is a hoax by anyone's observation of his behavior. I feel for Ukraine, seems like Russia has successfully borrowed it's way into this administration like a brain worm. Vance may be even worse than DJT and Hegseth is just a dumb fuck.
Send money to Ukraine to help the people there. You can probably do it through UNICEF or other agencies. There are folks on ETSY who have jewelry or wares they make. Buy what they have.
Right after the horrific accident between the plane and helicopter, trump was blaming Sec Pete and DEI for the crash into the Potomac. No more. It is all on him now. He gutted the FAA and there have been half a doz incidents since he took office and that idiot Sean Duffy took over. He tries to blame everyone but himself. It was pretty obvious to the entire world that Russian invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. How can he even say such a thing? And why didn't a reporter interrupt and tell him he had it backwards? I have smoke coming out of my ears.
Maybe not. The felon may not have heard of Munich. A lot of us have, we haven't forgotten, no, we won't be part of this. There are members of his own party who violently oppose this whole scenario. The man reeks of treacherousness and the betrayal of everything this country allegedly stands for. It is past time for him to go. Putin is no Hitler and neither is the Felon. They may like to think they are. Both of them are contributing to an opposition in their home countries that may be impossible for them to overcome. When people find that their basic necessities are becoming too expensive or scarce, they begin to rethink their leaders. We are almost there.
I wish that I could believe that you are correct. I don’t see “members of his party” being the least bit concerned about this behavior. Just in the last week, I have heard twice the excuse that: “oh that’s just Trump being Trump. He won’t do any of it.” Umm? What rock are these people under? He’s doing it ALL. And placing the most incompetent people in his playpen. I’m terrified.
Yeah and March 3 is when my Social Security check is supposed to arrive I've been seriously thinking about investing what little I have on some depends.
They are right, it is just trump being trump. "Everything trump touches, dies." Not the country, but his plans. That's one of the reasons I have a modicum of faith in our being able to prevail. As for those still yapping that asinine phrase? They are in for a rude awakening. They can't be that stupid?
I wish I shared your “modicum of faith”, Carol. The half of the country who are just now realizing the errors of their ways, are in panic mode but then again, so are we. So much shit happening in what used to be called “the justice system” is alarming. Like rapid-fire, the wealthy Project 2025ers are dismantling the only things we have ever known. We cannot rely on the courts. Nope, it comes down to us as to whether we are going to be complacent or if we are going to stand up to these monsters. I choose the latter.
Unbelievable bullshit from the orange anus - and his MAGAt remora eat it up while Europe is feverishly holding meetings of heads of state and forming a way forward without US support. They should turn to Ukraine and away from the US until we get our shit together.
When are the people of America realize that Trump lies about everything? Two good ones today - Ukraine started the war and Musk is not running DOGE when it’s there on social media that he is. How stupid are the American people to have elected this guy president? Again ! ! ! And his plan for Ukraine is to give Putin all the land he has taken from Ukraine. That sure puts trust in the US with our allies in the future - if there is a future and we have any allies left.
What's the quid pro quo, you ask? Since Latin is not the strong suit for a male person, *T***p, who can barely read English: quid, as in British quid, slang for a British pound sterling. Pro as in prophylactic, that rubber item which T***p said on The Howard Stern Show he never used, Quo as in quoz, archaic for something queer (old meaning) or absurd. For T***p, emphasis on the quid part of it. T***p is a leading definition of the fact that if a male person has enough quid, a lot of people will suck up to him, and a lot of people will suck down, if you take my meaning --- and I'm sure you do.
Yes, I can't think of a single country, except Israel, that is currently an ally of the USA. Actually, let me edit this. With T as our faux president, Russia is clearly an ally of the USA, when T crawls to him, which appears to be happening at this very moment.
So what is Trump's deal. Why is a 78 year old guy with all the money he needs trying to wreck America's political system? Actually, he's not. He's just trying to tweek it (or "save" it) so he's not guilty of any crimes.
Here's my conspiracy theory:
Trump is planning to pull off the biggest financial crime in history. He might be enjoying the torture of his multitudinous enemies, but what he really, really LOVES is MONEY. If he can finish his 2nd term with lots of illicit cash untraceably socked away, then maybe he would cap off his career of bankruptcies with as much as $100 billion in cash! Hey. So who's getting the last laugh?
Crime boss Trump and his merry gang of MAGA men or mostly men would accomplish this theft in partnership his arch grifter, Elon Musk, who now has algorithmic access to the Treasury ($6 trillion), Soc Sec funds ($1.5 trillion) and the IRS ($4.7 trillion)
So..how much money will Musk/Trump steal or let's say expropriate? And how will we, America's citizens ever know? And how would we even find out?
Get Kash Patel appointed as head of the FBI and a fervent loyalist as AG and your all set and we're screwed.
Patris I think there is a misunderstanding here. Barron did get called by the chair of some student republican club as an "oddity" at whatever school he goes to. The chair had to resign and the "educators" used toadying language to make it happen. Found it at my usual source for gossip Huffpost.
I share your fury, as everyone here and around the world should. Thank you for articulating it so well.
In response to Heather's post today a veteran responded with this. I am not versed enough to provide a reasoned response, so any help is appreciated.
"Why do you want world war?
World war 3 was averted in 1986.
World war was averted because NATO promised not to encroach on the Russian states.
Simple logic applies here.
Cause and effect.
The logic is sound and it is a proven tactic to avert world war. Leave Russia alone and allow them to grow strong.
European countries need to sort their problems.
It is 1000 miles from Paris to Moscow.
Breaking a promise made to end a world war will most likely result in a world war.
Thus taking the same action and making peace sounds more sustainable to me.
We just caused the Russians to dump all of their pre war supply of ammo and weapons.
Leaving a military to withdraw when they are depleted and stuck in the middle of winter is enough punishment.
Americans love to start and pay for wars but hate to get thier hands dirty.
Anyone who wants to fight Russia should go fight.
Please go!
No empire has ever fought and defeated Russia since its inception.
Once they moved their capital from Ukraine Kiev to modern day Moscow."
Let Moscow be Moscow sounds like maximum appeasement. Worked wonderfully in 38-39 with Hitler, huh?
WOW! I wish I could string together prose like that, instead of muttering fuck all day to myself.
My girlfriend put hers to music. She walks around our house singing "Fuckity fuck fuck".

Right? Starting with “gigantic sprocket driven iron tracks”! Made me pause to admire.
May he rot and may I be around long enough to watch it happen
From your lips to God's ears!
Let's give him more hamburgers.
And gallons of high-fructose ketchup
Paula B I believe the pronounciation is HAMBERDERS
We will never know if he dies or gets ill. His lackeys protect him until maybe one of them won’t.
Like the preservation for display of Lenin's body, I can foresee Peter Thiel financing a giant tomb for the dead Trump where we all can go to pay homage.

In his substack, writer Malcolm Nance is popularizing the new acronym NOPE: Not Our President Ever !
Trump and his minions can't hold a candle to Zelensky, who is a true hero. Long may he and his country live, and soon may the maggots run themselves into the ground before our country is gone.

Bravo!
Should we capitalize it? Maybe just "maggats"?
I like maggots, not capitalized. that way, they sound a bit like the parasites they hate.
I have been using that exclusively for years now. When you look in the natural order of things at what a maggot is and does, maggot is the only descriptor that fits his ‘base”. I couldn’t agree with you more Susan. 🙏
Don't wanna live under the Musky Rump!
I've been using MAGAts for over a year. I leave MAGA capitalized so there is no mistake who I'm referencing.

How to we tell Pres. Zelenskyy and Ukrainians that we are soooo sorry? Asking for all of us friends.
Send money to Ukraine to help the people there. You can probably do it through UNICEF or other agencies. There are folks on ETSY who have jewelry or wares they make. Buy what they have.
Donate to help them, United 24 has all kinds of ways you can help. 🙏

WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS - useless! Remember how they hounded Joe Biden and his press secretary at their briefings...double standard anyone???
Airlines. Trump intends to own the Airlines.
More disasters.
Yep
Tom Malthus
Yes, indeed.. Drumpf is the worst thing in America. Hopefully he self combusts, and takes Musk with him.
In a Tesla.
All I can say is in response: Munich 2.0
Maybe not. The felon may not have heard of Munich. A lot of us have, we haven't forgotten, no, we won't be part of this. There are members of his own party who violently oppose this whole scenario. The man reeks of treacherousness and the betrayal of everything this country allegedly stands for. It is past time for him to go. Putin is no Hitler and neither is the Felon.

Mine is due tomorrow. Am almost thinking of staying up past midnight to check my bank account. If I don’t, I won’t sleep anyway.
Please let us know if you get it or not, Christina. Mine too, is not due until the 3rd.
Yessssss! It is in my account. Phew!

It makes me so sick.
Unbelievable bullshit from the orange anus - and his MAGAt remora eat it up while Europe is feverishly holding meetings of heads of state and forming a way forward without US support. They should turn to Ukraine and away from the US until we get our shit together.
Europe and other countries needs to go to war with Putin and Trump.
Meanwhile XI lays back relishing the reality show.

Gotta wonder what Trump's quid pro quo is re Ukraine/Putin.
What's the quid pro quo, you ask? Since Latin is not the strong suit for a male person, *T***p, who can barely read English: quid, as in British quid, slang for a British pound sterling. Pro as in prophylactic, that rubber item which T***p said on The Howard Stern Show he never used, Quo as in quoz, archaic for something queer (old meaning) or absurd.

hahahahhaah
Dietz I messaged you through substack the other day so check it out OK?
Putin owns him. Ruscians bailed him out a while back. I like to imagine Melania is FSB handler.
What allies?
Yes, I can't think of a single country, except Israel, that is currently an ally of the USA. Actually, let me edit this. With T as our faux president, Russia is clearly an ally of the USA, when T crawls to him, which appears to be happening at this very moment.

Trump loves Donald.
(Money is 2nd)
He will die not understanding he is a Psychopath.
I like your theory. Drumpf however as we all know is too stupid to think this up hisself. He needs enablers all 74 million of them.
He's just keeping a campaign promise to uproot "the deep state." Horrors!
Remember everything he and his team do is The Will of the People
This explains his intellectually challenged progeny doesn’t it?
Also kudos to on “Putin-toe-sucking baboon”, Lucien. Aces.
Poor Barron got his feelings hurt today.
Actually it was a rotten thing to say. I’m sorry I didn’t stop myself.
Patris I think there is a misunderstanding here. Barron did get called by the chair of some student republican club as an "oddity" at whatever school he goes to. The chair had to resign and the "educators" used toadying language to make it happen. Found it at my usual source for gossip Huffpost.
Per the nyt: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/us/barron-trump-nyu-college-republicans.html
I liked the reason she called him an oddity: All he does is go to class, then go home.
Heaven forbid he should Inhale non-trump bubble air too long. He makes the trip to midtown in a Secret Service limo caravan.
That you and I pay for. It will probably be changed to a tesla.
Just for accuracy, it was not university staff but the central office of the student organization that asked the chair to step down.
Oh no now I feel even worse…? Conflicted… def going to hell now..
Traitors all. Special place in Hell for traitors....
