ELECTIONS: There is but one hope left! More important then anything "Free and Fair Elections". If you can afford it, DONATE to the organizations that are doing the legal fights for free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/ https://votingrightslab.org/ https://protectdemocracy.org/our-work/protecting-elections/ https://www.aclu.org/ - https://democracyforward.org/ These groups are suing the Trump administration virtually every day. Pass it on! Or hope that his legs and feet explode on him.

I wholeheartedly agree

Ed's avatar

There is so much flowing out of the White House (mostly all B.S.) -- one forgets all the events that are tied back to Trump -- an incredible amount of baggage!

Thanks for the reminders :-)

Ed -- RINO

When MAGA is faced with what the rest of us have always known, then will his cult dissolve? Probably not. Our President is a criminal who should have gone to prison years ago. Yes Adam, he is a sexual predator.

His people are all nuts on a rancid saltine cracker. He didn't force-feed conspiratorial bullshit to them -- they ate it all up GLADLY, begging him for seconds and thirds. That high-speed train to nowhere just went off the rails and hit the side of a cliff. Now they're dazed and bleeding, and angwy -- vewy, vewy angwy. Marinating in their own bile, that is.

He thinks his base is as stupid as dirt. On that, it's hard to disagree.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

This sums it up nicely -- very well put!! Especially love the "angwy -- vewy, vewy angwy."

Adam, you forgot to include the Epstein procured 13 y.o. girl who was raped and beaten by Orange Shitler at Epstein's place, I believe, about mid-1990s -- as an adult, she had brought charges against T in (Fall of?) 2016 some weeks or months before Election Day, but received so many death threats that she backed down and went into hiding. Presumably the death threats were made either by fanatical cult MAGAts or by T's own bully-boy thugs. More info about this incident would be appreciated.

What does it tell us about a group of people for whom THIS is the big one to turn on Trump? So, not all the prior SA-related offenses.... Not the 34 convictions... Not all the atrocities committed on his orders... No... it's THIS ONE. Well, fine. Honestly? At this point - if the Epstein Files turn out to be Trump's version of Al Capone's tax evasion - fine.

Russ's avatar

Alas, SCOTUS gave him a get out of jail free card.

Lisa J. Miller's avatar

We'll probably never know the truth about the Epstein files long as Trump is POTUS. But it sure is a joy watching him squirm as his MAGA-CULT followers turn on him. Now that I can enjoy!!! 😆 🤣

Judith L Hubbard's avatar

I disagree! Bound to be copies of files, lists, photos, videos would be THE BEST OF ALL to get felon47 into prison. His behavior for years was not IMMUNE. He’s going down. I’d bet on it! Real $$!

Then we have to focus on the enablers EVERYWHERE to regain our freedom and Democracy.

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

He is a vile, disgusting cockroach…I can’t even refer to him as a human because most humans don’t act this way, so cockroach seemed appropriate. He disgusts me and makes me want to vomit. I can’t stand to hear his gross and ugly and lying voice anyway. I am tired of the real estate he takes up in my head so I am going to work really hard to get that space back and give it to where it counts.

Thanks as always, Adam, for telling it like it is! You are the best!

Ellen Brown's avatar

He isn’t human. As someone who lived in NYC for almost 40 yrs, I can say with 100% certainty he never paid his contractors. They were forced to go to court & settle for cents on the dollar. He played the “role” of a billionaire when all his money was borrowed. How someone like that became president is beyond belief. How many of his base would tolerate not being paid?

RRiveter's avatar

I have heard the same story, as I said above, from New Yorkers, who are not cowed by this scum. You guys know the truth of him and his criminal family. Quick story: I was sitting in a medical outpatient facility right after the election when some Maga with a red hat walked in, telling some stranger "what a great day" it was that Trump won. Another woman overheard, asking him if he was talking about Trump. When he said yes, she went ballistic, saying that she was from New York and he was nothing but a slum landlord. The Maga guy stomped away, muttering about the "illegal immigrants raping 12 years olds", saying he wasn't going to listen to her comments. I laughed out loud. Of course, the New Yorker knew what she was talking about, just like us Detroiters know about Henry Ford, etc. We all have our insider knowledge; most Magas don't about this sociopathic person.

Ellen Brown's avatar

This is at the core of division in the U.S. Terribly sad & frightening!

RRiveter's avatar

Well, to be frank, cockroaches don't engage in lying, in retribution, in sex scandals, etc etc. They are simply....cockroaches-opportunistic insects who are simply trying to live and increase their numbers. Disgusting they may be, but they really are pretty innocent creatures, just like living in dirt and crummy environments. Trump is in his own class, and unfortunately, is a human of the worst variety.

Marty Smith's avatar

For me it’s more appropriate to compare him to magats (maggots). How do they survive?

RRiveter's avatar

Well, true maggots are really beneficial: consume bacteria in life-threatening wounds, have for centuries. Yes, they are weird looking larvae, but do perform positive endeavors. If we're sticking with the insect world, how about fleas and lice? Now they are parasites, transferring terrible diseases to their hosts, not unlike you know who. Rats may also be considered from the mammalian world. Unfortunately, this creep is a human, although many would say he is not. He is a very damaged soul, no doubt, and I know and heard of New Yorkers who have known about his and his family's crimes for years; never heard a good word from those "in the know". Unfortunately, the Maga crowd didn't grow up with this guy in NYC, so they really don't get it.

MARGARET KENDALL's avatar

I agree, cockroaches are just trying to find food, like everyone else. They run because they are scared. Everyone wants to stay alive, Maggots clean up stuff nobody else wants, so they have a place too. They're direct, not crafty.

Marty Smith's avatar

Please don’t disparage roaches like that.

crazy cat lady's avatar

i agree! why don't we just refer to him as a demon ... or the devil. the level of cruelty he apparently loves to inflect on people is consistent with evil entities.

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

I agree with everyone. I was trying to come up with something that was gross to describe that evil piece of shit. I can’t see fleas having much value so evil flea would suffice.

Kari's avatar

I know you know this, but we will never really get the truth- these ppl don't know how to tell the truth. Anything they show will be fabricated.

mark's avatar

At wired: Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified.

Pam will be busy trying to destroy or alter the files. Watergate: the coverup was what brought down nixon, not the actual break in. Their lies will keep the "Epstein files" controversy alive. Trump is "the deep state"

Marty Beert's avatar

Citizens knew about the creep, also accused felon, yet voted for him. What does this say about our country’s values? Rhetorical. The creep is a puppet to Stephen miller. He has a band of sycophant ineptitudes. Even all that is known, MAGAs …at least most…still support his explosive dismantling of democracy and constitution..stop the planet…I want off.

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

Marty, I am proud of my values and have nothing to be ashamed of. It was maga voters who put him in the White House, along with musk’s money and the ability to cheat somewhere along the line. We may never know, but I don’t believe for a New York minute that he actually won all the swing states without some kind of manipulation. But we are past it now and just have to deal with the shit that is in front of us. What goes around will eventually come around.

Valerie's avatar

I really don't think we should be "past" the fact that the last election might have been rigged. I know that a lot of Democrats are loath to go the "rigged election" route because that was Donald's 2020 song. But somewhere, somewhere, aren't there journalists of the ability of Woodward & Bernstein who can ferret the truth out? Or is it that no organization would publish what these people might find?

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Repeating what I said far below here... So far this info has come out:

tRUMP was NOT elected by voters--he had Musk hack and fiddle the elections in key states, and even gloatingly celebrated that fact, a fact which Musk Rat later confirmed with overt hints (along with saying about T being a pedophile and in Epstein's records) when his bromance with the Bigly Orange Malevolent Turd was on the rocks. Hacking the election to "win" in swing states was combined with other voter suppression and vote sabotaging tactics--gerrymandering, bomb threats, other forms of intimidation, removing Dem voters from voter rolls, and literally throwing mail-in ballots into the trash. All in all, an estimated 5 mil to 7 million votes sabotaged. So the Commander in Cheat finagled a squeaked-by fraudulent win, when--according to some estimates--Harris should have won by several million votes at least. And BTW, if you were a Dem voter who did vote there is a 12% chance that your vote was changed via hacking or trashing, but if you are a Dem voter of color who did vote, that percentage goes up to double or triple that figure, especially in red states.

So NO, the Egregious Orange Shit Show was NOT elected as our legitimate president.

And we should be demanding that a forensic audit of just what EXACTLY did transpire on Election Day and in the weeks following be conducted in ALL suspicious circumstances, and there are 1000s. Some investigations into this already are ongoing. Some have even been reported on in various media, but not enough, not enough.

WE ALL SHOULD BE FURIOUS -- AND FURIOUSLY DEMANDING THAT HE BE EJECTED!!!

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

Agreed…I just have no ideas about how to proceed. I have never believed that Voldemort really won.

Jeaneen Stephansky's avatar

I feel the same way. I will NEVER understand why people are attracted to Trump. What is so interesting about the MAGA meltdown the people on the far,far right are pushing for the Epstein file to be released. It's head scratching that they don't seem to grasp that their fearless leader is likely to be found in the file.

Noreen Lassandrello's avatar

The MAGAS are convinced that it is the liberals that are the pedophiles. In a super hardcore way that the far right has sold them. Therefore they want to out them.

Robot Bender's avatar

Trump gives them permission to hate all the people he hates, I.e., non- whites, immigrants, etc.

Jeaneen Stephansky's avatar

Sadly I think you're right. I don't remember any of the mean spirited inhumanity with either of the Bush's. And though I have never voted for Republican I didn't cringe each time I saw W. on TV.

Allen B from MD's avatar

Michael Wolff has tapes of conversations he had with Jeffrey Epstein where Epstein was narrating some of the pictures he was showing Wolff. Some of the photos were of several topless young girls sitting on trump's lap, and one with trump's pants crotch wet. Young girls? Is trump the pedo that MAGA was seeking to root out? Ironic.

Nancy's avatar

Oh! Those tapes must come out! I haven’t heard that until now!

Marty Smith's avatar

Male magats are envious.

RRiveter's avatar

I don't or never have understood how the Maga crowd could not think that Trump's name is all over these documents, and yes, of course they exist. Why wouldn't a sexual predator/"entrepreneur" like Jeffery Epstein keep such a list? I guess Bondi and company thought they could redact Trump's name from the list, and highlight big Dems who also partied with Epstein; keep Trump "innocent". This man is no more innocent than Charles Manson was. My God, this really is a no brainer. And Trump, by continuing to focus on the issue, makes himself look guiltier and guiltier. He knows, full out, that his name is prominently displayed in these documents. His wife's name may be on there as well. Maybe, also his sons. This is not rocket science. Predators don't all of a sudden become innocent people. He may have "broken off" his relationship with Jeff before his first presidency, but he was very close to this guy before that, for decades. When he wanted to party, especially with young women, Jeff is who he called. Not only him, of course, but Bill Clinton is not the president. Trump is. And Biden has nothing to do with this. Epstein died in 2019, under Trump's watch, and under his AG at the time, Barr. It will be very interesting to watch the fallout from this. I can only hope it contributes to his significant downfall.

Marty Smith's avatar

It passes the stink tests with magat because they are no-brainers.

Lourine C's avatar

Thanks for a really coherent summary of past and the present. It is lovely for a change to see him not be able to - by force of will/lying - shut down this topic which is clearly not "boring" as he claims but incriminating instead.

Sally Sprague's avatar

Everyone knows he’s involved. Look at the past as Adam wrote. And the person is NOT above any laws.

Martha Chaput's avatar

Thanks for your quick follow-up. The truth must come out.

Mary Anthony's avatar

If his name isn’t all over them, then IMO, the records/evidence have been deleted/redacted, by his sycophants, to protect the guilty TACO

Professor Mac's avatar

I still have a hard time believing that anyone who follows Trump doesn't believe that Trump is and always been a sex offender (my opinion). His close relationship with Epstein was no secret either until he got involved with politics.

I knew back in '85 that Trump was an "arse gabber", even in public. Denial only makes it worse.

It is time that Trump was held accountable, and all those in politics who supported him. We need a true leader who will not just serve the American people, but will be open and honest with them.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Boy howdy, wouldn't that make for a delightful change?

WayneNW's avatar

I expect tRump has some CIA lab somewhere creating an Epstein List that'll pass all kinds of authenticity tests.

Wil Shade's avatar

For Trump and the rest of the oligarchy MAGA has been and will only be a tool for the greater enrichment and empowerment of the mega-rich.

Susanna Wilson's avatar

We don’t need this kind of lowball junk from our side, too. Yes, he probably “enjoyed” his friendship with Epstein, but I’m not a fan of climbing into the gutter with Trump’s MAGA idiots. This is one time I agree with Melania: Be Better!

Valerie's avatar

I understand about wanting to take the high road. However I looked at Maria Shriver's reaction to her cousin RFK Jr being chosen as Health Secretary--nothing--and compared that to Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg's, where she, normally very quiet, went full throated. I'd rather be Caroline, who could still say "This man is rotten to the core" and be dignified about it than be a Melania who, while she couldn't bear to turn up to his trial where all the stuff about Stormy McDaniels came out, still grins and turns up on his arm as if he's the greatest. It's not lost on me that Melania has actually been around more lately; has she been called in for damage control? To be fair, I'm not partisan about that. Hilary Clinton lost me when she "stood by" Bill while Melinda Gates shot up in my estimation when she divorced her Bill.

Kathryn A Kreckel's avatar

Bull shit he’s a liar and a sick pedofile. Trump needs to be impeached asap. You’re a fool and an idiot by not standing up for the law! Shame on you! 😡
