Of the number of statements made by Trump that should warrant grave concern and rebuke, this one may be the most striking.
“I was saved by god to make America great again.”
The media and most politicians have entered an era of compliant darkness. We would be foolish to look to them for help.

I spent two years in the Trump administration. During that time, I saw how the president handled national security decisions. One of my biggest takeaways was this:
He fantasized regularly about maiming & killing unarmed civilians. Actually.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

CNN..."Trump called his predecessor 'Sleepy Joe.' Now, he seems to be dozing off in meetings."
He IS dozing off in meetings.
They just can't bring themselves to stating a fact for fear of upsetting shit for brains.

In 2016, Mike Lee started the Article 1 Project, a network of lawmakers seeking to reclaim congressional authority over spending and regulation and to curb executive discretion. Here’s what you’ll find about it on Lee’s website today.

The model of masculinity offered by MAGA, from Trump on down, has always been one of inadequate men pretending at greatness, but only a few are as laughably obvious as Pete Hegseth, a man whose every bellowed word bespeaks an unsubtle small-D energy that fuels him. www.salon.com/2025/12/03/p...
Hegseth's "warrior ethos" is cowardice
He calls himself the "Secretary of War" and plays a tough guy on TV, but in real life he's a major weenie

I am not a betting man, but if I was, I'd give the Trump led regime three weeks before it enters its final death throes.

I must admit, I am a bit surprised that within one year, the regime has reached the we don't care who we offend stage of their term.
This mentality clearly indicates an intent to continue their rampage of unprecedented lawlessness and mendacity.

TRUMP: If they want to release my MRI it's ok w/me. It's perfect like my phone call where I got impeached
Q: What part of your body were they were looking at?
TRUMP: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn't the brain bc I took a cognitive test & aced it, which you would be incapable of doing

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.
There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

When a 22-year-old white man was accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, did the Trump regime investigate all the 22-year-old white men in the country? Or is collective punishment only a thing we do to people of non-European descent?

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh
