Mary said on Molly Jong Fast's podcast that Donald ISN'T the stupidest nor worst person in her family. I'm guessing Fred was the worst person but I wonder who's the stupidest? 😉

I agree. I love what you're doing and support and try to help in any way I can but like Judith said, watch your back. I'm convinced he will stop at nothing to get what he wants, including murder at this point. I honestly think, and this is such a horrible stretch, that DJT is equally as horrible as Hitler was. I truly believe that.

Robert...you nailed it PURRFECTLY! I have been calling the ignorant goparty the NAZI PARTY OF 'merica since he slithered down the escalator, KNOWING in my heart and mind that's where we were heading. I REMEMBER the day the Japanese bombed Pearl and later got to work on Oahu for IBM in my 20s creating computer programs to track planes and ships for CINCPAC. We worked under a pineapple field on the sight line where the planes flew in towards Pearl Harbor. I was 8 when the war was declared over and my family and I jumped into our 37 Plymouth drove into DC and joined the revelers. This time of the Trump killing our Constitution brings back all of those years in the DC area until the surrender fearing Hitler's wrath and supporting the war effort in so many ways. I'm 86 and plan to live until Nov. of THIS YEAR to vote again for MY DEMOCRATIC PARTY, up & down-ballot, knowing Joe Biden is a TRUE AMERICAN defending each of us and our WORLD and the CONSTITUTION EVERY DAY, and will continue to do so.

Unfortunately D. Has a huge following who will donate money to him, even if they can’t afford to do so. Then there are his associates ( not friends) around the globe, who can send him tens of millions of dollars, if needed. The only answer is incarceration.

Those rich people already know that he won't pay them back so, I seriously doubt that they will just send him millions of dollars. Rich people's assholes get tighter than a snare drum when asked or expected to part with their money.

Donald is an amazing guy.

When you say you will do everything in your power to ensure that he doesn't become president again, please try to remember: despite him being utterly despicable, he is not the whole problem. The primary problem is the Republican Party which has been party before country since accepting treason in Paris in order to assist Tricky Dicky. It became explicit with Newt Gingrich with the K-Street Project, Contract with America and the dogged pursuit of Clinton. The Russians (and Putin in particular) took note and turned tRUmp into a lickspittle asset knowing that the Republicans would accept him, given enough support. Putin could also have picked someone else. The bottom line is that it is crucial to defeat the Republican Party up and down the ballot, regardless of which candidate. That would include your uncle, too. SO, given your platform, please don't focus exclusively on your kin (and don't leave him out, of course).

Bruce, given what Mary's been through, and how hard she has worked, I'm thinking she can focus on whatever target she wants, and more power to her! The rest of us can can help work on getting rid of the RepubliKKKans.

Expand full comment

I prefer to encourage everyone, and especially those with a larger platform than mine, to consider the entire picture. We'll be in a world of hurt if tRUmp is defeated -- and the Republicans take full control of the House and Senate and more state legislatures. She knows this. I'm asking her to speak of it more.

I know with certainty who that coalition "is." We need to recognize this ! And that the OiD is just a tool.

Bruce, this is absolutely right! We focus so much on the Orange menace, we forget the fact of what you say here. He’s only there because the Republicans didn’t have a cojones to convict him when he was impeached TWO TIMES for CAUSE! He should not be there and we shouldn’t be wasting our time with this conversation. And the disgusting excuses for men and women ( humans? ) who are up his butt so far, they can’t find their way out, should all be thrown out of our government. They are all, every day, betraying their oath of office and spending time on BS instead of the real and important issues of this country. They need to be replaced by people of integrity and intelligence, who are interested in governing this country with intelligence and care. How do we get rid of these useless wastes of congressional space?

Follow The Constitution, 14th amendment, Section 3. Every House Member or Senator who failed to support the electoral count and the peaceful transfer of power and is running for re-election to The House or Senate failed to uphold their oath of office. They aided an insurrection. I direct violation of the Constitutional obligation. They should be removed from ballots for office. Check with and request the removal of their names from respective ballots. I requested the removal of my congressional district candidate for his participation in the insurrection.

They are NOT entitled to a vote. They are insurrectionists.

Interesting, you just may be right. And this 'tool' keeps talking, digging himself deeper into the swamp it seems. Bragging that he's the one who overturned Roe, which should lose him even more women voters and men who support their woman's right to choose for herself, or to save her own life in some cases, and... I could go on but I'm sure you're aware.

I keep reading these posts and I keep reading the Republican Party. I know some of you will and, some of you do object, but we need to call a spade of spade here. Remember this There is No Republican party anymore. They have made themselves into the Fascist Party of America. We should honor them by calling them by what they are and what they really want to be: the " Fascist Party America."

Now I know some of you will object and say well that's just name calling. If you call a horse a mule that is named calling. If you call the American fascist party the Republican party that too is name calling because both are simply lies and delusions. Let's not fool ourselves anymore. Let's call a spade spade. IMHO

Just refer to history. This is absolutely *NOT* a sudden turn of events. I've been on this soap box since Gingrich (1995). David Corn has stepped up on it, too, taking the genesis back to the early '50s:

I'm waiting for his antics to have some real world consequences - losing his beloved properties, serving multiple sentences in prison, being deemed ineligible to even run for office. I am so tired of Donald Trump and the people who support and enable him. And when we are finally done with him, I hope Jack Smith will roll out the cases against those who aided, planned and assisted J6 - Ginni Thomas, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, MTG, just to name a few. They all need to face consequences as well.

You must read Mary’s book on her uncle. You learn all about the family and Donnie’s proclivity for cruelty. I wonder if he abused or killed animals. And, if he wet the bed, we have the trifecta for psychopathy. Phenomenal book—so well written. I was worried for Mary’s safety, that I was looking over my shoulder. And after that book, you must read Reckoning. Yowza—extraordinary. Mary is a powerhouse. Thank you Mary for your courage and dedication to expose this malignant narcissist. Be safe. We need you.

I had heard of his reputation years ago. He wasn’t liked by the business community. He didn’t treat women well and I remember when he was divorcing Ivana he said “she did the laundry”. Really jackass!! She produced 3 kids for you! And you tell the courts that she did the laundry??? I was in New York with my father in law and read in the paper that Donald had locked Ivana out of her office so she shot the lock off and she was arrested. So Hillary Clinton wasn’t the first woman that “the Donald” said “lock her up” about.

Joe, “Mr Nice Guy”, needs to go “in your face” to his fellow dems and All Others or there will no longer be a democratic US. I cut my eye teeth at 27 negotiating as a management rep with the Teamsters in Harrisburg, PA. I didn’t know whether s t or go blind but , we finished the deal and over the years I negotiated dozens of IBT contracts as well many other unions. What’s my message - never let them see you sweat! When they (others) see you sweat, figuratively or otherwise, you come across as weak - whether you are or not. What am I talking -about? 1 simple thing - as psych a major I learned an important lesson “Perception is a component of reality”. What does this have to do with Joe and our nation? Joe is dealing with the greatest perception our nation has ever faced. I believe Shakespeare wrote “Tis time to screw your courage to the sticking point.” We are running out of time! Joey, get in their f ing face and tell everyone to step or give up - there is no in between. Joe’s handlers MUST MOVE NOW! George Allen came to the Redskins moribund football team and signed a bunch of older players who had - maybe 2 years to play.
