Omg, how is this happening? Almost a decade of our lives wasted on this absolute piece of worthless shit! It’s up to us, peeps. We know MSM isn’t going to do it..just keep spreading the word of Jeff, and HCR, Joyce Vance…all the people that are speaking the truth..just keep spreading it!

But I have to admit, I am loving the fact that we all know how miserable the orange turd is right now and he is NEVER EVER going to be happy or have a normal life again. 👏👏 And it all of his own doing, which makes it more delicious…I just wish he was behind bars already, where he should have been years ago, instead of being able to steal the election in 2016 and trying to destroy all of us and our democracy!

Linda Weide's avatar

Trump is getting ready to do some executing of his own. A comment from someone today said that Trump's wives say he keeps or kept a copy of Mein Kampf by his bed. Now that I am revisiting Hitler vis-a-vis my daughter's studies of the time, I am learning that he executed the people on his hit list of enemies when he came to power. This included close friends. Learning about Hitler I go back and forth seeing parallels between him and Trump, and him and Putin. Trump has turned immigrants into his "Jewish Problem." Just like Hitler's wife Eva Braun had a maternal Jewish grandmother, Trump has his current wife and past wife who are immigrants. I guess Baron and his mom have to go. Trump is getting a jump start on acclimating the people here to his vicious ideology against immigrants. Back to Slovakia for Melania, but where will Barron go? He has 3 immigrant grandparents, and one who is just removed by one generation from being an immigrant. Governor Abbott has been able to kill people in cold blood who try to get into the USA, and has faced no real consequences for it. That is the first step. Letting people adjust to atrocities. He has a whole bunch of Republican henchmen carrying this out. The Militia movement is like Trump's SA, private army. However, I do not think that Hitler had dementia like Trump does, instead he shared the insanity trait with him. I just want to wake up from this dystopian nightmare but I can't. I hope to enjoy life this summer, but I am eager for November to be here, so we know what we are facing from Trump win or lose.

Before and during the war, Hitler was high on a cocktail of hard drugs, which led in time to irrational decisions, paranoia, confusion, and ultimately, his loss of the war and his self-inflicted death.

Trump has many of these maladies, but without the need of drugs.

Linda Weide's avatar

Hitler supposedly committed suicide with his wife Eva Braun. It was suspicious to me, because since his supposed friends disposed of the bodies by burning them it is hard to say what happened. There were some other suspicious deaths where Hitler was involved, of his niece that he was in love with for example supposedly shot herself. I suspect him because she had fallen in love with someone else. Women and shooting is not so common a method of suicide. Didn't Trump's first wife fall down stairs to her death? I always found it suspicious but the press was singularly unsuspicious about her death.

I’m repeating this once again - the medical experts must speak about Trump’s deteriorating mental state before he’s handed the nuclear codes should he win the election. This is urgent and given that the media is giving him a pass every time he blurts out inanities, the responsibility rests with psychologists/psychiatrists/geriatricians. Hello, are you listening?

Janan Broadbent's avatar

Yes, check out @dutytowarn. Jeff had also mentioned Dr John Gartner who is running that site. 500 mental health pros (myself included) signed a petition some time ago on this, that he is a malignant narcissist & now definitely demented.

CAM from 🇨🇦's avatar

Thank you for your response and yes, I was aware of Dr. Gardner, but unaware of the petition. Has there been any acknowledgement or follow-up on it. This man threatens the safety and security of Americans and he is also a serious threat to Canada and Western Europe. Although Biden is late in recognizing the serious deficiencies demonstrated by TFG, his comments on the latter being “unhinged” are welcomed.

Carole Ann: initially this effort was bamboozled by a school of thought in mental health that says you cannot ethically diagnose someone you have not personally seen in a clinical setting. However, all the information we have seen over this time far far exceeds any information one could get in a one hour initial evaluation session. So John & psychiatrist Bandy Lee have been spearheading the publicizing of the diagnosis.

Choice bits about Stormy from Wapo opinion piece:

"In court, Stormy Daniels pulled a Trump on Trump"

Stormy testified: “People underestimate women, especially people in the adult industry, when they see blond hair and big boobs.”

She testified that she found cheap “Old Spice and Pert Plus” in the billionaire’s leather toiletry bag, and “I thought that was both amusing and odd.”

She said she did a “jump scare” upon finding Trump on the bed after she emerged from the bathroom: “I wasn’t expecting someone to be there, especially minus a lot of clothing.” She said she “laughed nervously” and said “I need to go.” Trump, who had dangled the possibility of putting her on “The Apprentice” reality TV show as a contestant, snapped at her: “I thought you were serious about what you wanted, if you ever want to get out of that trailer park.”

[Comment: The Old Fart trades empty promises for sex just like Harvey Weinstein.]

Even in small details, she appeared to be describing the Trump everyone recognizes. “He’d ask me questions and then not let me finish the answer,” she said, “almost like he was trying to one-up me, which was really just hilarious when you think about it."

Bottom line: Trump is right about one thing—Stormy is smart.
