Two active alcoholics in his administration. One running the dept of defense the other heading up the FBI ..Gee what could go wrong . A war we can't get out of unless we go full monty ..an FBI that is almost useless .. He blamed the Arizona Tucson police for not solving the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.. His professionalism is just outstanding. Somebody do something please !!!!
It’s also the “cabinet members at Congress playbook” that were all just. So. Tired. Of. The indignation, the counter accusations, the deflection, the self aggrandizement. It’s an exercise in futility - over and over we see the absolute unseriousness and lack of any professionalism from those in charge of these critical agencies. It’s so depressing.
One of the biggest reasons America feels psychologically broken right now is that millions of people no longer believe the system can correct itself peacefully through normal institutional channels. That loss of faith is far more dangerous than Trump himself.
Because once citizens conclude that:
- elections don’t solve anything,
- media is propaganda,
- courts are politicized,
- billionaires own both parties,
- and accountability only exists for ordinary people…
…you stop having a healthy republic and start drifting into a cold civil conflict where everyone sees the other side as illegitimate.
The truly terrifying part? Both parties keep feeding that perception for short-term power pretending they’re saving democracy from each other.
I was a member of Al-Anon for years and learned to never get between the alcoholic and their alcohol. They'll fight you tooth and nail just like Patel was doing yesterday. As a recovering alcoholic told me, "We will defend our right to drink at any cost". In my opinion, Patel is the textbook alcoholic fighting for this right.
So Donnie doesn’t drink. Thinks it’s terrible. He is the epitome of a dry drunk. No, he doesn’t drink. But my understanding is that he’ll “belly up” for pretty much anything else on the table. As to Fred - Fred Sr destroyed him. All Fred Jr wanted in life was to fly and be on the water. I absolutely believe that if he’d been “allowed” to do that, and also if he’d been able to escape that family, he would have had a substantially different, and I believe, successful life - success being measured in ways the trumps do not understand. Except Mary Trump. The only one who did what Fred Sr wanted was Donnie. And we’ve all seen how that turned out.
Right Mario, Patel is an unstable moronic drunk and that was clearly demonstrated during the hearing. Sen. Van Hollen did an outstanding job of making Patel squirm.
The orange imbecile didn’t just witness his brother's ( Freddy Jr. ) drinking. He was a factor in it and enabled his drinking.
Freddy Jr looked at his family and thought…..they’re nuts. I gotta get away from them. He did exactly that. He joined the USAF. Made it through pilot school and flew planes for the USAF. When Freddy was discharged from the USAF he wanted to fly commercial planes. He did exactly that. He landed a job flying planes out of Boston, MA ( Logan Airport ). He was living on the North Shore not far from the airport. He wasn’t drinking abusively then as he was loving life doing what he loved. Flying planes.
Freddy Sr. wanted no part of his son being a pilot. His quote was, “ No son of mine is going to be a bus driver in the sky. That’s not a respectable job for a Trump. “ Freddy Sr wanted Freddy Jr. to be the next in line of succession in the family business. Freddy Jr. was happy and content flying planes. Freddy Sr sent orange imbecile to the North Shore of Boston to get Freddy Jr back to NYC. After months of pressure Freddy Jr relented and returned to NYC. He was thrust in the spotlight of the family business. Something he didn’t want and something he wasn’t good at. His drinking increased until he drank himself to death.
When Freddy Jr died Freddy Sr made the orange imbecile his next anointed prince.
It sounds like Fred was different in every way from his father and brother, more like his niece, Mary Trump, the psychologist who has been warning us about "Uncle Donald" for a long time.
For once, I disagree with Steve. People like Kash, who have ZERO insight, always recover. The differences are only in the lengths of the lists of the people who they blame for their demise (which never, of course, includes their own name).
Rick Wilson over at the Lincoln Square substack channel has important reminders about what the Nazi Republicans are planning for the midterms and has succinctly written down some guidelines about how to prepare for the upcoming miderms(https://bit.ly/4wrmAF9)
The unwritten statement is that the Nazi Republicans are in their view in the midst of a political civil war to overwhelm the governmental infrastructure to retain power forever They know the trifecta they now have is in serious trouble and as Wilson points out will pull out “all stops” to maintain that control
Wilson is not being hyperbolic but citing signs that what they openly write and talk about is what they will do and this is substantiated by Marc Elias at Democracy Docket In a recent piece Thom Hartmann at The Hartmann Report(https://bit.ly/3R99goP) gives an overview of the rise of this fascist movement in the Nazi Republican party overseen by the Heritage Foundation that gave us Project 2025 and the insistence of nullifying the voice of American women This is reminiscent of 1930’s Nazi Germany’s policy of “Cross of Honor of the German Mother,” which handed out medals to Aryan women who produced four or more children while sterilizing those were deemed unfit
Make no mistake What is happening currently in the Nazi Republican party or CNPP(Christian Nationalist Pedo Party) is unAmercan undemocratic and attempt at a fascist takeover If they succeed it’s game over my friends
All Patel is is a Smart Ass. A kid off any playground would do a better job as FBI Director than this FOOL! Another example of the absolute WORST in America EVER! The good news, all of this can be used against him when the end for him and all of the rest of them comes.........

The buffoons in this administration number in the thousands and their voters number in the millions.

Denial, is part of addiction, just the person in question won't accept the reality

And, social media and AI is just dumping gasoline on an already burning dumpster fire.
Agreed. This is not a good place to be.

I don't believe the figures Patel gave.

This wikipedia reference shows the constant pressure that Fred and DJT put on him:

Thanks for that Jim. Mary Trump has also described what Fred Sr did to her father.
Look like a party animal drunk running our top law enforcement agengy. What a national embrassment!
Right Mario, Patel is an unstable moronic drunk and that was clearly demonstrated during the hearing. Sen. Van Hollen did an outstanding job of making Patel squirm.
He’s a fucking cross eyed idiot!
Not to nit-pick but………….
