So, because I have committed crimes, let me try and tell about everyone else I think has committed a crime, because if I think it - it’s the truth. He’s a loser, the best sound in my life will be when those doors slam closed behind him 🙏🏻
Ever since Trump came down the escalator (with his Barbie doll wife as an accessory), it's been perfectly clear to those of us who work with victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse/violence what Trump is all about. That's what frightens me.
Trump and his ilk are all quite predictable. The problem--for the sane world--is that he's such a malignant narcissist/bigot/misogynist/racist/control addict/male supremacist, and he's surrounded by his sniveling sycophants, so "reality" is light years away from him. He has built an empire made of bad deeds, grotesque behavior, and illegal acts, and it's about to come crashing down around him.
When male supremacists have their "power and control" challenged, they lash out. They burn the place to the ground, literally and metaphorically. They take no prisoners. They'd rather destroy it all than see life/people go on without them. It is profoundly dangerous.
January 6th was the warm-up act for Trump and his drooling goons. They feel so entitled to a lawless place of superiority and supremacy that anyone coming for them with law and order in mind will--as we have now seen since 1/6--be perceived as "the enemy."
In my work as an advocate for abuse victims and survivors, one of the first things we do with an abused woman who is considering leaving her abuser is what's called a danger or lethality assessment. We listen to her--the real expert in his abusive, controlling and violent behavior--and then we look at the trajectory of the relationship. When she leaves or attempts to leave, he ramps it all up. That's when DV victims are murdered--when they try to declare their independence from the abuser.
The 2020 election was a kind of declaration of independence from Trump and his chaos. We wanted stability but he was not prepared to accept the separation and the rejection. Nor were his fellow white male supremacists. The entire world saw what happened. It was not at all surprising to us.
Many of Trump's foot soldiers are now in prison, but many are not, and they feel put upon (another addiction of theirs).
I hope the country is truly prepared for this. Trump's indictment will be seen by him and his defenders as a kind of restraining order, a legal rejection of who he is. This needed to happen to him about 45 years ago, but it didn't. As a consequence, he's been untouched by the criminal justice system, so he's maintained the complete control he feels entitled to.
Yes, to everything you wrote. You explain it perfectly. In addition, it’s clear that we have to legally pursue and convict these abusers with more frequency. History has shown that the legal system has been on their side and not the side of the abused and tortured. If we’re lucky enough to get trump indicted and then convicted for multiple crimes it will definitely set off an unpredictable reaction from the ‘foot soldiers’. Just the same, we set appropriate consequences for these malignant narcissists and their enablers. Although this won’t restore sanity to the deranged, it will help the rest of us to ground ourselves in reality.
Agreed but living with abuse and the abuser is more painful. Most of his followers were in hiding in ratholes afraid to raise their ugly hate filled heads to the light of day.
Once he became President all of these racists, mysoginists and abusers ( white males ), came out into the light of day and they love scaring the hell right out of us.
We must send them slinking back into their hidey holes reading their conspiracies and grinding their teeth until the next white male brings them out again!
Great analogy and very well said. I was encouraged by the low turnout of hell raisers when he was arrested in New York but who knows if that will continue. If we’re lucky, his incitement of January 6 and the arrests that followed will make people think twice about putting their freedom on the line for him.
Jeff, your excellent introductory paragraph description of the orange molester is still, apparently, not enough for some people to be repulsed and disgusted. Then there is the matter of his loathsome face (I won’t go into the details because I’ll vomit) slathered in clownish make-up. His appearance, voice and stupidity should be plenty to repel any sane person. Not to mention his life of crime. I’m in shock, that at this late date, his Emperor-Has-No-Clothes scenario continues to fool his followers. There is nothing that will stop them from jumping off the cliff right behind his corpulent ass.
I pay homage to that iconic moment in comedic history when I call attention to a hard-to-see pedestrian on the side of a road by pointing and saying to my husband....”Person Woman Man Camera TV.” It’s the gift that keeps on giving. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every person over 65 is supposed to get a wellness check at their doctors paid by medicare to check for health, stability of movement & to see if their cognitive behavior has is ok. We all get 5 words to recall at the beginning & they will talk to to you for a bit & then ask the five words. There is no best or worst only a way to see if your mnd is ok. We all lose a little memory at some point we are human.
I worked for a neurologist for many years. This was something called the mini mental status test. It asked the patient questions, along with others such as to spell world backward, what is the year, the day of week, and more I don't remember. Now, this was over 15 years ago that I worked there, so things may have changed since then. But, they were pretty basic questions to gauge cognition.
They haven't changed much bit everything changes but Trump claimed a high score on his which of course doesn't happen because the this isn't scored. He is such an idiot
His fraudulent "university" was also taken down by the DOJ. He's in full manic mode now, probably not even sleeping. Just throwing things around his shitty motel. He might even be throwing things right through the walls. When he is arrested they will need to haul him out of there in a straight jacket with shackles.
I hope Donald Trump is indicted and faces prison time for his treasonous behavior which led to the destabilization of our country, and the planet. Everyone has suffered a lot, even those who vote for him. Now, with Cornell West throwing his hat into the ring as a Presidential candidate in a third party, I fear we are going to end up with some sort of MAGAt in power in the next round, and that makes me glad that I am prepared to live elsewhere, even though MAGAts will destroy the entire planet for everyone, so there is no place to hide. Trump is a criminal in a party of criminals. Too bad they cannot all be indicted, tried and convicted, and given prison time for their parts in The Big Lie.
I live in a beautiful town in Mexico. We expats do not have our heads in the sand but living in another country does help buffer the insanity we see in our poor country. I was an activist before moving here a year and a half ago, and most likely will go back and fight like fucking hell for the Dems in 2024.
Same here. Our daughter is going to university there, so she has options. However, everyone I was talking with in Germany last month when I was there, was saying that they know that what happens in the USA affects everyone there too.
I wish my kids would have taken the opportunity..but that's okay. I have to say a lot of talking points are the same as here, you wonder who is behind.
I think he wanted to re-up the firing squad for criminals like Hillary? I think that was his only good idea. Let’s do that. Or he can rot in Guantanamo
His cluster of attorneys who went to Smith to tell him he was being unfair, is a hoot. Imagine that. We think you're being unfair charging our criminal client who continues to confess publicly that he took the documents and then waved one around. Crime after crime. But our guy didn't do anything. I'm sure these attorneys are as good as the others who haven't succeeded. Face it, Donald, you ARE a loser.
Do they provide prisoners with Depend pads in minimum security facilities? Do they have to clean themselves? Are wiping materials limited? Extra-abrasive? Anyone know?
That all cap rant is gloriously quintessential Trump. Loud, whiney, full of What Abouts, and PATHETIC. Literally begging Smith not to indict is such a loser thing to do. So unbecoming. Just when you think he couldn't be more unattractive as a human being, there he goes making himself look even worse. If he isn't indicted and put on trial, once again he makes us the laughing stock of the entire civilized world.
And all the bullshit of this is going to help him win the presidency, is garbage.
Oh sure, the low IQ seditious morons think this, but what's their percentage of the
voting population? Ten maybe fifteen percent?
He'll never go to jail, but I think if he doesn't die or leave the country first, he'll be tried, convicted and under house arrest for the rest of his life. But above everything, there has got to be a gag order of not speaking about politics, ever again. I just want him to leave our country the fuck alone.
So, because I have committed crimes, let me try and tell about everyone else I think has committed a crime, because if I think it - it’s the truth. He’s a loser, the best sound in my life will be when those doors slam closed behind him 🙏🏻
I’m so excited for these (and more) indictments. What a thrill it will be to have them rain down on the orange monster.
Nothing says “I’m screwed” like posting this rant 25 minutes after your lawyers leave a meeting with the DOJ.
Exactly! Was thinking the same thing!

These are very scary times....

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this is, in many ways, an existential dilemma.
What does Sartre have to do with it?

He probably expected the world to raise up arms for him. Flood the streets with supporters.
His credo is “ I’m not smiling till the whole world says it’s sorry
Excellent comment, very well-explained. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for the work you do for abuse victims and survivors.
I believe your first sentence is a run- on sentence!! And I LOVE it!!!!!!

His profound stupidity is FAR beyond shocking. Do you remember how impressed he was with his "Person woman man camera TV" recall of 5 words ability?
I pay homage to that iconic moment in comedic history when I call attention to a hard-to-see pedestrian on the side of a road by pointing and saying to my husband....”Person Woman Man Camera TV.” It’s the gift that keeps on giving. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pat, with all due respect you have missed my point.

A dementia test, not a true cognitive test.
yes, thank you. It was a dementia test. I learned a lot that I've since forgotten while working for this doctor.
And every single one of us can remember those five words years later.
And we can even identify a giraffe.
🤣 that always makes me laugh hysterically, he’s such a blobbular, ignorant, ranting, orange POS!!
Left out “fat, pants-shitting.”
Trump is not even aware when he’s shit his pants!
Let em jump I say! Save us the time and money required to straighten them up.
Yes because now he can grift more dollars from his 4th grade-educated base. But!.... he did it too! Sounds like a toddler.
Commented this on a video about this. "Advice for MAGAts. Don't act like a witch, and you won't be hunted like one."
I like that!
His fraudulent "university" was also taken down by the DOJ. He's in full manic mode now, probably not even sleeping. Just throwing things around his shitty motel. He might even be throwing things right through the walls. When he is arrested they will need to haul him out of there in a straight jacket with shackles.
I’m living for it!
"straitjacket"
Dear DOJ: Please drop the indictment on Friday morning. I need some good vibes for the weekend.
Exactly! In fact, I was hoping for late Friday afternoon!!! 🎊🎈🎉
Potayto, potahto ;)

Please do!
San Miguel de Allende?
that's why I never haven given up my German citizenship
Same here. Our daughter is going to university there, so she has options. However, everyone I was talking with in Germany last month when I was there, was saying that they know that what happens in the USA affects everyone there too.
Yes. The way the U.S. goes, goes the world.
And Putin is counting on it.
I wish my kids would have taken the opportunity..but that's okay. I have to say a lot of talking points are the same as here, you wonder who is behind.
Hope he doesn’t end up in Club Fed. Throw him him jail and let him rot. Then he can burn in hell.
I think he wanted to re-up the firing squad for criminals like Hillary? I think that was his only good idea. Let’s do that. Or he can rot in Guantanamo

"YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT."
Yeah, right.
Lol. He has the right, he just doesn’t have the ability.
I fuuuukn love it 🤣
Do they provide prisoners with Depend pads in minimum security facilities? Do they have to clean themselves? Are wiping materials limited? Extra-abrasive? Anyone know?
Lol

I love every frickn minute of watching that orange blob squirm. Bam 💥
Orange blob is correct Doreen!

I like the gag order idea Lorraine!
Does he not realize that it was HIS DOJ that would've charged Hillary?
He’s too stupid.
Indeed
