Just happy to be here, and not over there (ya know??!!)

Clinical psychologist.

I wrote a dissertation in 2017 about gaslighting…seems relevant again

I hope I have enough time, in life, to listen…to all that’s important and to all the music life offers.
…”Stand tall. Shine. And keep the faith…”

The Rule of Law wins.

Those who continue to work with the DOJ in its current iteration…it’s not too late to find and save your soul. And leave.

Holy Wow!!
Jake Sherman says more Republicans will retire like Marge because the “arrogant” White House treats Congress like garbage and @SpeakerJohnson has let it happen and Dems are going to take the house and “potted plant” Congress is just a rubber stamp for Trump anyway

Sweet baby Jesus we are nothing more than a clown show masquerading as a legit govt. The global consequences are deadly. What a complete and utter embarrassment.
How embarrassing.

Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

#HoldFast seems to be spreading quickly today. The phrase carries its own power—an old call to steady yourself, brace against the storm, and stay true to core principles. No surprise it’s catching on in a moment like this.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace
Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

Important. Worth reading. Worth understanding.
I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.

Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Trump has said a number of times that you'd be surprised how much he and Mamdani agree on. (Talks again about building housing, lowering rents.)

Trump: "I expect to be helping him, not hurting him."

So Incredibly helpful!

“It becomes clear now that the best way for America’s legacy to survive is for Europe to get its act together as the true fourth power that can disrupt the direction of the Russian-Chinese-American new world order deliberations that are going so desperately off the rails.
The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes

Europe can, and must, craft better with Ukraine

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

🤣🤣😂😂. OMG

“…The whole thing is cooked…”

This is just unreal. We, the people, do not have any semblance of a functioning DOJ.
Folks, I don't think the lawyers can make anymore sense of this.
But what APPEARS to have happened is:

1) They no-billed one count.
2) SOMEONE IN THE GOVT LEARNED THAT.
3) They put together a 2-count indictment and, w/o re-presenting the case, got them to vote for those.

The whole thing is cooked.
"So they separated it."

That's what the only indictment against Jim Comey is.

"Count Two and Three were then put" by someone who may or may not be Lindsey Halligan "in a different package."

God is right.
NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:

Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

Exactly correct and perfectly stated.

BEAUTIFUL!! And FINALLY, Finally, Finally. Let’s Go SCOTUS

at least 🤞
Roberts now going at the solicitor general like a cat with a wounded mouse. Keeps telling him that tariffs are taxes on the American people. "Who pays the tariffs??" Says Trump's argument would neutralize separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. Incredible stuff.

Well done. And yes. Message well sent.
November 5, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Correct. And what a rebuke it was!
Make no mistake, Trump was absolutely on the ballot last night.

All his endorsed candidates got trounced.

It was a rebuke of him, his policies, his cruelty and his corruption.

It was a rebuke of authoritarianism, of fascism.

Working class Americans want their country back.

Too true. Too spot on 🤣😂
Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.
