Trump being the Time Magazine person of the year is sickening. A convicted felon. That should disqualify him from even being considered much less getting picked. I will never take that honor serious again. 💩💩💩🤬🤬🤬🤬
Joe and Mika, once critics of Trump, went to Mar a Lago after the election to kiss the ring of the man they had compared to Hitler, fearing the loss of relevance, money and fame.
Jeff Bezos, WAPO owner, said about Trump, “What I’ve seen so far is he is calmer than he was the first time — more confident, more settled."
Trump pretended to perform fellatio on a stage before laughing "Christians," nominated a drunk to head the defense department, a woman once on the “secret terror watchlist” to be Director of National Intelligence, a nutjob who denies vaccine efficacy to head HHS.
Trump has promised to pardon the insurrectionists who brutalized Capitol police, urinated and defecated in the Capitol building, and threatened the life of Pence and members of Congress. And now promises to prosecute ( persecute) those who investigated the crimes he incited.
When the media sells out to a politician seeking dictatorial power it is the most profound threat to democracy possible.
Veterans and active military voted for Trump in droves. Last night, a reporter said that many rank and file FBI officials are just so excited about Kash Patel and his proposed agenda. Police and first responders really love Trump. They don’t care that his thugs beat and sprayed and injured their fellow officers on 1/6/21. They’re all about Trump. Here in northern Arizona, our local police look like militia.
Where is all this resistance supposed to come from if those who will be turned upon us are excited and jacked up about the prospect?
And the capitulations start at the top (see Chris Wray). Another soon to capitulate will be Jack Smith. He will resign.
And now Trump is lauded by TIME as the Person of the Year?? WTAF.
Joni Ernst has been slapped and bullied into submission by ugly MAGA threats and tweets or whatever the fuck they’re called. Truths or tweets, all the same bullshit. She will vote for the drunken rapist Hegseth.
I’m with you, Steve. Fuck them. I’m going to do and say whatever I can in my own sphere to call out the abhorrence and the dystopian as the nation slides into the unrecognizable.
Joni Ernst is one of the many sad sacks out there. I try to be sympathetic about her, as I do with anyone, but she is another one who has done everything she could to end the ACA, even if it affects people with life-threatening medical conditions.
Correct. And after we have lived the dystopian life starting on 1/20/25, I wonder how much sympathy any of us will be able to muster. I don’t have any sympathy for her NOW. She is caving to the basest and crassest people ever. She is choosing herself over the country and the wellbeing of anyone she represents.
Joni Ernst needs to go back to being a hog farmer in Iowa! She has clearly failed to keep her oath to the U.S. Constitution when she pushes a drunk on the U.S. Armed Forces. My cousin’s husband was an aide to Secretary of Defense Perry and gave me a tour of his offices including his situation room where he could watch and direct our brave military conducting combat missions throughout the world! Imagine a drunk and insane Peter Hegseth directing combat missions when he could not even show up at FAUX propaganda sober!!!
The "authorities," be they military, law enforcement, first responders or the like have a decidedly hard right, authoritarian bent, at least at the rank and file level and often higher up. A psychologist could explain better than I why these "professions" attract that sort of mindset. No dictator can successfully assert himself without playing to them. Trump frequently did so, such as when at his rallies he would praise the idea of police "bashing a few heads" or being given free reign to lash out (just for a day, you understand). Trump loved to have his picture taken with police or firefighter, etc. groups. He drew their endorsements everywhere. The only authorities opposed by the right are those who are perceived as being hostile to them or their confederates--e.g., the Capitol Police or the FBI or DOJ when it seeks to prosecute Trump or his cohorts. But once they have assumed control of those agencies and installed their stooges at the helms, they'll be fine with them too.
How will the MSM report Trump's latest pick in the upside-down world of Maga. He has chose...wait for it...Kari Lake to be director of Voice of America, stating that this Qanan fool and a poor loser matched only by Trump, will tell the truth.
HOLY SHIT!!!! WE'RE LIVING IN A NATIONAL INSANE ASYLUM!!!!
“Morning Joe” and his sidekick need to stop talking. Every time they open their mouths,the weakness in their sorry excuse for an argument becomes more profound. They abased themselves before co-president Trump, and their viewers and potential viewers are done with them.
We should view things for the long haul if this country is to be saved. Fixing our education system and doing something about the wealth chasm that will destroy us.
The combined worth of the 12 richest Americans just passed $2 trillion. Yes, 12 people and $2 trillion. Down the road I have entire families living in shacks.
No wonder there is a rage that forms itself in misguided votes.
Yes, "misguided votes". Well put. Steve has also said, many times, that 40% of our country doesn't have $400 in reserve for an emergency. We need to look at that statistic at the same time as we look at the 12 richest Americans have $2 trillion statistics. Thanks.
I think a third thing might be helpful. Campaign finance. Not sure what can be done because the Supreme Court has enabled it, but billions are flowing in that purchase elections, judges, and anything else for power.
The Joe and Mika surrendering to their own selfishness and fearsomness, traveling to Trump's Florida castle to drop to their knees and kiss his ring, was the cause of the column that supported a signicant body of free press to crack and crumble, collapsing that whole once noble body at MSNBC. The whole retinue of great journalists there found themselves without a structured home. Joe and Mika did it, they broke the coherence, causing the center to not hold. Their continued daily faux justifications, telling the remnants of the disarrayed free press that they don't understand, angrily lecturing real journalists on the true nuances of their noble journey down to MAGA Center, are now stomping down hard on once hallowed free press ground.
I totally agree that we are in the calm before the storm. I hope that the military generals and others that care deeply about our democracy are part of the tough group to resist and oppose the upcoming chaos and the disgusting actions that we may witness. We can not acquiesce to this tyrant. We must stand firm. I think once things start to disintegrate and the nastiness begins. A civil was will emerge. I also think many of the people that voted for Trump will be part of this group since Trump made it very clear that gas and grocery prices will rise and even though he promise to make the economy better he has no intention of of going so. We live in interesting times. I will not capitulate to a
Yes, this is the calm before the storm. If and when Trump pardons the J-6 rioters and they are called 'Patriots', combined with the 'enemies list' of anyone who opposes Trump, and the militias who are standing back and standing by....this is going to get very ugly:-( RESIST!
I have not watched Joe for many months now. MSNBC can not be trusted without verification. Only a few are giving us any useful information. I rarely watch Rachel, most of the day. I will still watch Lawrence, Chris, Nicole, and sometimes Alex. Even then I feel I'm not getting a straight story.
Your voice is imperative. I’m more than happy to support your work. We need to drown out the “rags” that pussy foot around our first “king!”🤬Thank you.
I tried to watch Morning Joe once since they went to kiss the ring and I almost threw up. They are responsible for the crack in the Foundation of MSNBC. And the frostings was when Mica apologized for what a guest reporter said. They lost the Truth to power message and sold their souls.
Joe and Mika are sickening.. He is a bully of the first order. I remember they tried to force us to stand by Biden after the disaterous debate. Lawrence did the same thing. I called in and was screaming they needed to stop. I think that's when they lost me. I didn't want Joe to run again from the beginning. Steve you say the people are going to revolt when Trump starts to institute his horrible plans .... You say the people will also revolt when he puts these brutally incompetent people in charge.... I hope you are right . I am here watching my country go down the drain. Imagine the shithead has now invited Xi to his inauguration . Xi please don't come ..
Trump being the Time Magazine person of the year is sickening. A convicted felon. That should disqualify him from even being considered much less getting picked. I will never take that honor serious again. 💩💩💩🤬🤬🤬🤬
And it says they don’t take our court system too seriously. 😡

10-4 Julie, your sphere is my sphere girl.
I have so much respect for you Steve Schmidt. Sending your words to everyone. Thx.

Bienvenido a Santa Fe, Steve.
“Morning Joe” and his sidekick need to stop talking. Every time they open their mouths,the weakness in their sorry excuse for an argument becomes more profound. They abased themselves before co-president Trump, and their viewers and potential viewers are done with them.

The combined worth of the 12 richest Americans just passed $2 trillion. Yes, 12 people and $2 trillion. Down the road I have entire families living in shacks.
No wonder there is a rage that forms itself in misguided votes.
We need to share these terrible facts/statistics far and wide in order to persevere. Thanks!
Critical thinking skills, history, civic being prioritized in education is a must going forward.
Yes, "misguided votes". Well put. Steve has also said, many times, that 40% of our country doesn't have $400 in reserve for an emergency. We need to look at that statistic at the same time as we look at the 12 richest Americans have $2 trillion statistics. Thanks.
I think a third thing might be helpful. Campaign finance. Not sure what can be done because the Supreme Court has enabled it, but billions are flowing in that purchase elections, judges, and anything else for power.
And this may be our biggest issue.
Yes, the campaign finance issue - change - is core to the future of Democracy.

Agree 100%
Powerful. Scary times ahead.
I totally agree that we are in the calm before the storm.

Fascist dictator. Thank you for the post.

So poignant! Right on target, Steve.
I have not watched Joe for many months now. MSNBC can not be trusted without verification. Only a few are giving us any useful information. I rarely watch Rachel, most of the day. I will still watch Lawrence, Chris, Nicole, and sometimes Alex. Even then I feel I'm not getting a straight story.
CNN, MSNBC AND certainly Faux News are not reliable. They are interested in the corp p/l only!
Your voice is imperative. I’m more than happy to support your work. We need to drown out the “rags” that pussy foot around our first “king!”🤬Thank you.
I tried to watch Morning Joe once since they went to kiss the ring and I almost threw up. They are responsible for the crack in the Foundation of MSNBC. And the frostings was when Mica apologized for what a guest reporter said. They lost the Truth to power message and sold their souls.
We’ve been avoiding Morning Joe and won’t accept their endorsement of drunpsterfire, so yeah we’re in ….
Joe and Mika are sickening.. He is a bully of the first order. I remember they tried to force us to stand by Biden after the disaterous debate. Lawrence did the same thing.
