Trump is going to go down because of his weaknesses. He adores our enemies and bows to them. He adores oligarchs and gives them power. He loves burgers and fries covered in katsup and eats too much of it. He is his own worst enemy. He is destroying himself as we watch.
Let's send out a cheer for the women -- and please note it was older white women who have stood up to Trump and his sycophants this week. The Governor of Maine is 77! Not bad for a boomer. There is a pattern that will be hugely evident over the next few months, which is when men in power find themselves unable to punch their way out of a paper bag; they step aside and let talented strong women take over to clean up the mess. For some reason have you noticed the willingness to sacrifice self for the greater good runs strong in women? This country has been crushing and muzzling all that strength and talent since forever. Interestingly our allies are not as backward, and it shows.
I'd like to ask a few questions and get answers to the following from the courts, people, etc:
1. The full scoop on the SSA tag for lead leaking info to DOGE. When, how much, why? If this has happened how many other moles, pre-election, docs case or the docs, have been doing the same?
2. How does one find out, AT THE FKN US GOVERNMENT, how and when the first tap into our systems was done by DOGE or entity without permission or access? Musk didn't SPIDEY in on day one and begin read/write access with his minions.
3. What is DOGE and who runs it? Does it have a policy, receipts, any authority that, perhaps, a court could ask about and FKN FIND OUT THE ANSWER? We still have a constitution and if Chutkan, or any judge, is going to deny TROs or injunctions she/they had better know what these answers are and realize she got a perjured affidavit from BOVE on the whole thing.
4. Is anyone confident that MUSK/TRUMP are violating the 1st Amendment by restricting negative ego insults or is that immunity coming from OFFICIAL ACTS? Has anyone defined official acts? Like outside of the actual Constitution as for the criminal immunity? I mean the court granted a felon criminal immunity a month and a half after he was convicted? I'm confused. They love the Unitary Executive and manipulate Hamilton's 70 and I know he's rolling over in his grave as it isn't hard to understand they wanted NO KING or MONARCH. WTF ever? How does someone get this explained? We were jurists not voters. CROCK OF SHIT. DEI...does that include firing Clarence Thomas?
5. DID anyone ELSE think Musk may have had a bit too much Ketamine at CPAC? WOW. Judges determine on capacity. I'd say his is diminished most of the time. It is an issue.
6. Why aren't we issuing the fkn articles? Let Jazzy, AOC, Jared go loose. PLEASE!!!
I have many more but I'll stop there. Peace! Revolt! I don't know!
Sadly, we put a "mad man" criminal master class con man in power who has surrounded himself with dangerously incompetent criminals all of whom are supported by "don't hurt me POTUS please" cowards. It's a bad neighborhood and not one of us will escape being mugged. What is interesting is there is still ignorance out there. People literally walking over the dead bodies falsely believing they are safe in an environment where the bullets are flying all around their "see no evil, hear no evil" selves. I think we will beat this though. I do.
You’re right and they do know and yet complicity is everywhere because he’s threatening and the SCOTUS crowned him after he was convicted of 34 felonies for book cooking to influence 16. He’s never been legitimately elected.
It’s garbage and he knows nothing about governing and the other undefined is ketamine soaked and possibly not competent because of his admitted overuse of drugs.
Vance is a POS the Pope even called out! Bad vibes when the Christian convert pisses off god!!!
My testimony is that Andy B is fucking hilarious, occasionally savage, but informs us of absolutely fuckall. You cover multiple bases. So I'm a Borowitz freeloader and a PAID-ass Newsfucker!
I'm 90 years old. I've been following the news since Truman took office when Roosevelt died. So please cut me a little slack--I can't follow your very modern speech/memes, announcements. Can't you put in plain English what you want to say--maybe in parenthesis, so as not to confuse the youngsters??
I am opposed to violence, but here is a (metaphorical, sort of…) guideline for easily frightened governors, congresspeople, judges, and journalists who find themselves assaulted by the Predator-in-Chief and threatened if they say “No!”, and wish to join Saint Janet Mills on our Hero list:
You are NOT an idiot and be as nasty as you feel. What others call nasty when they criticize a woman, they identify as assertiveness and confidence in themselves, which is true. So, please do not stop being assertive and confident. It feels good, no?
FYI, Peltier had his sentence commuted to home confinement by President Biden. I'm not sure of the delay but I imagine the Bureau of Prisons and/or Probation Department had to do home visits and make sure the locations were appropriate. Trump had nothing at all to do with it.
I assumed as much regarding trump being a joke...but thought it worth contrasting how Biden wouldn't totally spit in the face of law enforcement...even though they usually support Trump as opposed to the felon giving other felons a pass for 1/6 that pissed off the same law enforcement types who did support trump.
Not bad for the much-denigrated boomers -- A moniker that would be palatable if it were not blatant ageism framed in hate and sarcasm and judgment -- Loved to see proof we've been judged wrongly, and in fact listen up -- you really don't know us for what we have done or for what we can do, do you? Let's all get hats inscribed with those fighting words said from a 77-year-old female Governor to the most powerful man in the world, "See you in court."
OMG. And Murks is the guy Trump says has an IQ of 180? Goes to show you that so-called IQ tests don't tell the whole story. As if he ever took one, anyway.
His interview only reveals a couple things: one, he's on a kind of sugar high fueled by the applause of morons and two, he is, despite whatever arcane tech savviness he may or may not really have, an egomaniacal retard.
I am starting to see the enemy for whom they are -- beatable, small and stupid, and that is when they are not drugged. When they are using which is most of the day, they are helpless and small and ridiculous. But, we together have it in our DNA and will overwhelm and defeat them quite easily, actually. There is so much power united. We discovered our power this week and we are going to show the world we can use it. If we succeed it will be a win for all democracies across the globe. It will prevent WWIII. It will save Ukraine and get them on the path toward joining NATO. It will turn Russia into a third world country and Putin a footnote. It is all there. And it will leave us as Americans determined to never let this happen again. We got this, we do!!
Such wonderful thoughts, really. But please, everyone, at least hear the arguments and very strong evidence on the “other side” regarding Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is under Treaty obligations not to enter NATO, which many many countries, including Russia, see as illegitimate and a threat to world peace. Among many news sources, I suggest thegrayzone.com for carefully researched information showing clearly that the right wing US puppet government of Ukraine is the aggressor, not Russia.
Drown him in lawsuits. Endless time-consuming lawsuits. Name him in each one. His lawyers will be stretched thin. Imagine 100,000 + lawsuits. Everyone needs to sue him. Make it huge and painful.
I wish that the other governors would have stood up and applauded her, and then all of them walked out. I think that would have been awesome. Tell Trump, f*** y** to his face, stop trying to appease his ego. Just tell him no, and leave, laugh at him. Put a pin in his ego.
If wishes were horses. In history there are many roles, and the role of coward is always filled with more people than the heroic roles. But cowards are just that cowards who will duck and take cover as we rise and exert our united power; then predictably try to re-write their own history which will fall on deaf ears. More importantly they will be forever marked by their cowardice given everything they have done, not done and said has been recorded -- not just a written record but a visual one that they cannot escape.
Thanks to the multiple TFNers who pointed out that Peltier was not pardoned! Biden commuted his sentence. My apologies -- especially since I knew that and have written it before! I'll go see if I can fix it and still salvage the joke...
Jeez, Jonathan, you’re slipping—two fact-check errors in one week? Biden didn’t pardon Mr. Peltier. He’s on confined release, with an ankle monitor, meaning if Donald decides to go after yet another Biden action out of revenge Mr. Peltier could be back in the slam by next week. Just sayin’. 😉

👏👏👏👏 great work

I'm with you on that one, and just a kid at 74. God bless you. I was so glad to see your post.
Those powers not defined in constitution are given to the people! Not states

It really is more brutal than I would approve except in a metaphorical, legal or political sense! In that way, satisfying. 😏
FYI, Peltier had his sentence commuted to home confinement by President Biden. I'm not sure of the delay but I imagine the Bureau of Prisons and/or Probation Department had to do home visits and make sure the locations were appropriate. Trump had nothing at all to do with it.
Right… just joking that the release technically happened on Trump’s watch. Thanks!

So, why lead with Gov Mills' age, instead of the honorable office she holds?
Maine's laws will protect ALL Mainers equally, regardless of sex/gender.
We will not obey in advance, and will not be daunted by the largely incoherent rantings of the rancid weirdo currently infesting the White House!
because it's freaking awesome -- that's why
I wanted to emphasize her aspects that are traditionally not associated with strength.
As a woman in my 70s, I understand and appreciate that.

I am her exact age. She represents us well!

Yes!! He is weak and small. We have seen this week that united we are unbeatable and formidable and powerful!!
I wish that the other governors would have stood up and applauded her, and then all of them walked out. I think that would have been awesome. Tell Trump, f*** y** to his face, stop trying to appease his ego. Just tell him no, and leave, laugh at him. Put a pin in his ego.

I so agree. Especially disappointed in our NY Governor for not standing up with Governor Mills.
