FIND THE SMILES

There will be tough days in the next 4 years when it will be difficult to “find the smiles.” For yourself and others, try to find the smile each day.

Enjoy a movie, exercise, go to the park, participate in your hobbies, visit your family and friends, pet a dog.

Find the smiles!

I’m convinced that the worst of the Trump “sycophants” that are also clever in their own way are using Trump and don’t believe any of the flattering they do—it is currency to pay Trump to get him to keep doing their bidding.

If the government is shut down, how is there money for Trump to travel to Asia? Who pays for fuel, the Air Force personnel flying, and the costs of travel for secret service detail?

Trump isn’t paying. He only TAKES money from the American people.

Trump understands the “beautiful” accents. He is just too dumb and uninformed to provide a sensible and coherent answer. So he feigns a struggle with their accents which puts the blame on them.

We talk about Trumps stupid stuff (tv shows, ballrooms, gold decorations) as directions from the bad policy stuff. But I think Trump only has the mental capacity for dumb stuff. He is being used by Stephen Miller and others to distract us from the awful stuff they are doing such as deportations.

Don’t know if Miller learned it from Trump or taught him. But they both just insult the speaker when they can’t legitimately respond to the criticism.

I think Trump’s focus on changes to the Rose Garden, decorating the Oval Office, and building the ballroom are due to him only having cognitive confidence in those abilities.

He subconsciously feels that the only thing he is good at is “real estate.”

Everything else? A intellectual struggle.

Dems should force GOP into coming up with new BS reasons for not passing bills. In the current case, the Dems should just say “fine, put in that the healthcare subsidies won’t go to illegal alliens” (already the law).

The they’ll need to make up something new. Each excuse makes them look dumber.

Marc Observes @marco35.bsky.social · 5d

Please, please, please could someone in the media ask the GOP/MAGA why they are In favor of facisim when they criticize or complain antifa.

Ask Trump, Vance, Mike Johnson, etc. (yes, I know man street media will never do so)

Marc Observes @marco35.bsky.social · 5d

Comparing main stream media (MSM) coverage of Trump vs Biden (re: cognitive state) is a futile exercise. Questioning Biden got concerned views from the left & happy views from right. Not questioning Trump’s decline gets happy views from right & frustrated views from the left.

MSM just wants views

Another sad indication that Trump is surrounded by spineless yes men. No one tells him 500% of is impossible.

What more important things do they refuse to teach him?

Anytime I read about GOP or right wing cry babies complaining about being called a racist or facist, I’m reminded of a teacher telling us in middle school that she didn’t fail us, we failed ourselves.

Don’t like being called a racist? Don’t be one.

Don’t like being called facist? Don’t be one.

One of the few times I want Trump to be right about something (“Now, if you use the word ‘beautiful’ in the United States about a woman, that’s the end of your political career”)…

Not that I would expect the FBI to release the data but I wonder if there are criminals impersonating ICE officers (just need a mask and fake badge evidently) to kidnap women.

Marc Observes @marco35.bsky.social · 13d

JD, I assume that once the “few far-left lunatics” have been arrested, found guilty, and imprisoned for “tee[ing] off on American law enforcement” then Trump will pardon them. Just like he did for the insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement on Jan. 6th.

Vance says Trump is 'looking at all his options' as the president threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act

The Insurrection Act would allow the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically for law enforcement purposes.

I agree. You should apologize for J6. Start with the American people and then move to your idiot followers who keep getting screwed over by your “policies.”

GOP lies with out a conscience so why don’t Democrats just say they’ll come back to vote and then first ask to swear in Grijalva and then have the Epstein files vote. THEN say “we’ll vote the CR if you don’t touch Medicare and subsidies.”

Marc Observes @marco35.bsky.social · 18d

I’ve given up hope that the main stream media will ask, but why don’t democrats ask Trump, Johnson, etc to ***prove*** there is violence and crime in Portland, Chicago, etc.

Marc Observes @marco35.bsky.social · 19d

Why don’t the Democrats just agree with the Republicans about things that are ALREADY true. They just say, “fine, let’s save Medicare and Obamacare subsidies and we can put in the bill that no illegals will get Medicare or subsidies” (yes, even though the is already the law).

I think the immoral behavior of the self-proclaimed Christians in the name of that religion will go further to turn away the youth from Christianity than anything the atheists or other religions could do.

I watch the Super Bowl every year and never knew there was a problem with too many illegals attending the game. I guess only illegals have the thousands of dollars for air fare, hotel room, and game tickets needed to watch the SB live.
