I couldn’t stop reading. Your info on Donald is priceless. How can I share this email?

It is discouraging the Media will not confront 45’s lies. Instead, President Biden’s slips and trips are counted, Hunter Biden’s legal troubles are trumpeted. Donald’s ravings are reported.

You know, I’ve been thinking about something a lot. It’s an idea I have about a TV show, with people like the Nerds, Michael Moore, Stephen Colbert and other names who are NOT pro Trump. Maybe “Trump Decoded” the afore mentioned people are all intelligent, interested people, who seem to know better than others, just what a real mess Trump is. You all could take some of the best weeks news and decode it, letting others know and hopefully learn what Trump is really all about. It could be either serious or comedic, but absolutely real life insights into this horror of a man. I’m not good with figuring these things out, but I think, even if comedic or more particularly comedic, some people will begin to see the real man. Maybe it can change their minds about such a man truly being in control again. Anyway, it’s just an idea, but I wanted to get it out there because with you and your group Mary, and a few others like Michael Moore and Stephen Colbert might be just what’s needed to change some people’s minds. Okay, so I’ve said my piece and for what it’s worth, I think you guys can do this or something like it.

Love the idea, but how could you get such a show on FOX or One America (or whatever it’s called) so those who need convincing would even see it? The problem isn’t a lack of information; it’s the unwillingness of Republicans to even expose themselves to it. I know! Sneak it onto Truth Social!

Truly, again thanks Mary you always are able to condense, compartmentalize, and give us who can see the "who, what, where, when, and how" of the greatest threat, menace, and embodiment of ignorance to truth, peace, and the well-being of Earth, nature, and the human race. This is very important and a vital question since the symbolic fallen angel descended upon the golden escalator to be given willingly by blind foolish people, what equates to their collective souls that put all of our collective souls who knew better in great danger. This shines a light on what needs to be seen, understood, and managed, the privilege and power to vote! Voting is the life blood of the freedom a democracy can provide, it also requires great consistent responsibility, unity, and an understanding of what will destroy it or sustain it. Those who choose and are willing to live in a democracy must also be people who the truth absolutely matters, equality, fairness, transparency. If anyone has problems with any of those requirements of a democracy they should do not meet or should have the power of voting in a democracy and should consider that maybe they need to relocate to a country that does not want a democracy but supports the opposite of it, authoritarianism (or totalitarianism if your authoritarian regime comes with an ideology like Trumps Maga publican political/social/ Terrorist cult). Of course, it would mean having some sort of testing requirements for those who run for offices as well those who have the power to vote to determine if a person is competent, pro-democracy; and even a lie detector test to determine if they are just giving the right answers to pass the test to have access to the life blood of America, democracy, and the well-being of the people. What has happened to America, democracy, in the last 50-100 yrs. shows that being born here and all the rights of that citizenship that comes with it is something that needs to be renewed like a "drivers' license" through a person's life when they reach the legal age to vote, if America is going to be a democracy, it takes all of us want to protect it!

Thank you for speaking your truth and always reminding folks of the dire threats we are under and that there is no reconciliation that can work to suppress narcissistic people.

I cannot afford to pay for every channel that I like. I haven’t even afford cable in more than 6 years. I have Roku and an antenna in my window so I can at least get some news. My son pays for my phone. I’m 73 years old and on SSDI. I live on $900. a month. Do you have any suggestions, Mary about how I get to enjoy the perks that everyone else does?

Mary- you survived n your strength and character. One can only imagine what went on behind the walls of that house on Midland Parkway.

I listen to so many podcasts exposing Donald's appalling behaviour/personality. This B/h is so entrenched he does not even have to think before he opens his vile mouth which on the surface why he appears to be more 'alert /lively ' than Biden who actually thinks before he speaks. High five to those wonderful judges who withstand his BS and dress him down . From over here in OZ it's enjoyable but devastating for US citizens. We just dodged a bullet with our last PM ( a Donald fan) who was fast leading our country in a similar direction.

Mary, why do you think he did not do this: "I warned that Donald would do anything—including burning it all down—to make sure he wouldn’t have to relinquish power. I also said that, if at any point he felt like he was going down, he would take all of us down with him." in 2020-21 rather than relinquish power? I thought he would not willingly relinquish power but would have to be dragged out of the WH on January 20th at noon, but that didn't happen either.

Seriously, getting turned down by every court he tried. Got busted making illegal requests. Set the vp up to be killed. Caused the death and injury of multiple, not to mention the horrific destruction to our capital. So yeah, he wasn't literally dragged out, but he was virtually dragged out of the white house!!!!

I do. Lighten up a bit. He’s not a Idi Amin or Pinochet but, IMO only, his being all these years on our national scene will be as negatively consequential as a societal killer as any mass murderer.

Thanks Mary, Thank You 100%.

He’s been gag ordered also, which I hope should help some.

The media response really has me baffled….

There seems to be ALOT of enablers out there.

Thanks for this Mary. Your perspective is reassuring in these times when the whole world seems upside down, much of it attributable to your (dare I say it) uncle.

Dear Mary,

So grateful for your courage and insight.

In the midst of these multiple indictments and this most recent court loss, your words ring louder and louder in the ears of those whose cowardice puts others at risk.

We all benefit from you speaking truth to ugly power.

Stay safe. You have our collective admiration and care surrounding you.

I live in one of Canada’s northerly cities. Our country is at risk with a destabilized U.S. to the south. The whole world is watching this awful drama unfold.

P.S. I retired as an English prof after decades in the classroom & retrained as a yoga teacher at 70. If you ever need a yoga/meditation class via zoom, let me know. I also upload my classes onto YouTube where anyone can make use of them. I’m sure you have lots of avenues to de-stress. But thought I would offer what little I can.

As a Canadian, I’m very concerned about what I see going on in the US.

Donald Trump makes Thanos look like a humanitarian.
