I really hate these people. And I double hate them for making me have such hate in my heart. And I triple hate them for having to be exposed to their hate and stupidity on a daily basis.

I'm learning to love hating them, and telling them at every opportunity, and using words I know I shouldn't because they expect me to be "elite" (!?!?!). Here's what makes me feel better. Ready?

I've seriously never used THAT particular word across my entire mmpmph years. BUT, fully support your use of it right here and right now since your perfect (chef's kiss) usage also nearly made me pee with laughter. Brava! I'm sure I'll get there anon. I DESPISE him and those around him with a well of loathing whose depths are as yet unplumbed.

Have you heard that Trump is ordering troops into Portland? They wanted to close down the Broadview ICE detention center right outside of Chicago, because of so much protesting daily, but they did not like the optics of that. I don't know if they shut it down yet, but last I read they had not. The fact that they are going after Portland tells me their governor did not protest as strongly as Pritzker did here in Illinois.

Oregon's governor is female and gay. That's why he's doing it. Female, LGTBQ, black or brown-skinned - those are all the reasons he needs to assume they're incompetent and obviously need him to send in the troops to fight crime in their states. He makes me sick.

Bonnie, I know she is and suspected that was a reason, and Chicago's mayor is Black, as is Baltimore's mayor. Trump picks people to hate and then it consumes him.

I hate to use the word "curious" about how they propose to sweep the homeless camps out of Portland, but I am. Something tells me violence will ensue. And that can go both ways. Stay tuned.

Linda Weide's avatar

Theresa, Trump is going to make homeless people disappear into ICE camps, unless their local government protects them. While this is not the legal use of the camps, Trump wants to put everyone that he wants to get rid of in places where he hopes they will be forgotten and die, although he would like to be killing people directly. He finds our laws a nuisance and the SCOTUS gave him permission to kill people. A madman is in charge of our country and either people see it or they believe the emperor is wearing clothing.

I try not to use 'hate' and definitely won't use 'demonic' because those are THEIR words they use to describe us - or any democrat for that matter, preferring 'detest', 'despise' and 'LOATHE'.

WHEN they were charged with this - AND fined, it did my heart good. He later lied about it (of course he did) but I've loathed and despised him ever since.

He is the most godless creature alive. And if there is some "god"

why on earth would he/she/it be on his side? I'm agnostic and not trying to insult anyone who is religious. We all hold our beliefs in our hearts and hopefully try to live good lives just being kind and helpful to others, no matter who anyone does or does no pray to. Really, in the scheme of the world, why would any god protect this horrible, cruel, hideous, vain, sadist who has broken every commandment and makes others suffer and revels in it? A man who tells all of us how much he hates us, scorns us, wants to see us suffer. Doesn't care about children or people who are marginalized, hungry, sick, poor or especially shot and killed except for CK and only because CK was useful to him, so he could make him a martyr. To watch CK's wife (the only one who really mattered that day) at that farce of a rally, stand up there and forgive, and to see people stand up and applaud her, and then have this monster come out and spew his hatred and venom and make it all about him, along with Stephen "Goebbels" Miller like it was a Nazi rally, which it was. If you ever want to see the true insanity of Stephen Miller, Steve Schmidt has a video created where Stephen Miller's speech is translated into German. It's like listening to one of those insane 1930s Nazi speeches and it says it all.

Why would "god" be on the side of someone who holds bibles upside down and shills gold ones? My favorite ever was when he was.running.for Trump 1.0? It's been so long I can't remember now., but he was being interviewed by some " Christian" reporters who asked him what his favorite passage or the lines from the Bible meant the most to him?.And Donnie, ever the huckster said "I can't talk about it. It's just too personal for me". Anybody at that point, even me, who is not a Christian, knew he has never cracked one open and couldn't name one line. Either can I, but I'm not a hypocritical phony about it. The only god he prays to is the god of crypto and money.

That is what one would think, but while my book club read Project 2025 written by Christian Nationalists at the Heritage Foundation, a think tank started by billionaire Neoliberals to promote neoliberalism and give it credibility. A philosophy that supports the rich running everything and increasing in their greed.

In any case we consulted with Andra Watkins who is an expert on project 2025 and White Christian Nationalism, and this is pretty much how they all think. It is a "religion" filled with hate for everyone except self, and a certain kind of self. White, male, CN, and heterosexual, etc....and everyone else should either do as they are bidden or be exterminated. NAZIS to the core, every last one of them.

Maura's avatar

Sadly, Project 2025 is being implemented now in this country. Implementation of Project 2025 was always the existential danger. When Steve Bannon coined the phrase “deconstruction of the administrative state,” that is exactly what was meant to happen. It is tragic that our leadership did not warn us properly about Project 2025 before the election. Information about it came too late. The general public knew nothing about it and, actually, still knows nothing about it.

Linda, I’m glad that your book club is reading Project 2025. It is a frightening manifesto to read. I know. I only wish, in my heart of hearts, that more people had known about it before the election. It may very well have made a difference.

Well as of this morning Donnie Darko is attending. Either he doesn't trust GI Pete to handle it, or it's to ratchet up the fear and intimidation. Plus the extra security. You know what? I used to revere the Secret Service when I was young. So noble and brave to be selflessly willing to take a bullet for our Presidents. Like the one who recently died, who climbed on top of Jackie Kennedy and JFK's car while I think she was scrambling to climb out from fear. Those days are over. Now I think they are all dirty. Protecting this Scum-in-chief and his evil spawn. Like his own Gestapo.

Lamorindalinda's avatar

I absolutely agree. Whenever there has been an assassination attempt on any president in the past the secret service had thrown themselves onto the president to protect him, especially when they had no idea if the shooter had been apprehended. But no! These guys helped him up, a target (!), to allow him to raise his fist for a photo op and yell “fight! fight!”! No one will ever convince me that they were not in on this staged event. Yes, the fire chief died. He was collateral damage as was the shooter. I do not doubt for a second that the FOTUS cared if someone died.

I was assuming that after he talked to a quiet hall at the UN he decided that it is fun to see how long he can talk without needing to rest or stop. It will give the military a good taste of who they are working for, and if they do not pay obeisance to his royal highness DJT, then they should be brushing off their resumes and sending them to Denmark, Germany, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Norway, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and other countries that might want to acquire someone who is skilled in the arts of military thinking and is democratic.

I've been hating them nearly my entire life. At 8 years old, the state senator's son was in my boyscout cub pack. That kid was a rabid hater and took every chance he had to put me down. (without going into TMI, yup, I'm one of them thar ethnic groups.) If that was today and I was still in upstate new york, exposing the rabid racism the state senator taught his offspring, would have ended the Senator's career there and then, but that was back in the mid 1960's and understanding and expressing the only appropriate response to racism was an evolving element in American interpersonal communication. But this genocidal effort from the de-evolution of the Republican party, its members, and especially its candidates has me absolutely rabid with anger. What I want and what will happen are two different things, which is a good thing. Whatever comes in the middle will at least resemble justice. I believe not in Karma, or divine providence, but in Balance. The Bullshit coming out of the GQP has reached its logical extreme. And its my firm belief that someone, hopefully us, and not another country, will smack our insane, greed head loser leaders upside the head.

Off topic, but hey! My city of Portland will officially be invaded by our own troops. News flash: they’ll be bored out of their skulls. We’re not ‘war ravaged’ if anyone cared to check first. Please keep us in your thoughts.

Well, in D.C. the troops wound up helping with trash collection and other municipal duties. I'm sure you all can find something useful for them to do.

It also wouldn't surprise me if troops arrived in Portland, Maine, by mistake.

I swear I just had the exact same thought and cracked myself up. TOO funny, I could just see planefuls - or more likely trucks? separating at highway exits then having to avoid crashing into each other as they scream: 'NO, wrong Portland' - while most head off North East. That would be fucking hilarious. I want to watch the video of ANYONE 'splaining to orange toddler that there are TWO MAJOR FUCKING PORTLANDS, YOU NUNCE!

I’d really like to see my city’s leaders speak up about impending ICE invasions. We need strong leadership locally, not just our fine Senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley. If those assholes are coming, we need it broadcast everywhere. Then we all need to hit the streets and give them that big ANTIFA welcome.

I still firmly believe that "the left" and "antifa" were supposed to be drawn out into street battles on Jan 6th to give the Tangeranus an excuse to declare martial law. When they didn't show up the plan fizzled. Lesson: Be strategic.

Interesting theory. Another lesson: Know your enemy. What "radical left" there is in the U.S. is minuscule if it exists it all. What do Trump and his handlers think they're targeting when they bellow about the "radical left"? Hard to say, but I suspect it includes people of color, Jews, and uppity women.

What I remember most from Bill Barr’s little green men in Portland during Trump 1.0 is that DoJ tried indicting people & the cases kept getting thrown out of court because the feds didn’t have jurisdiction. (They only had jurisdiction for crimes committed on federal property)

I assume the prize offer to the intrepid WH reporter that asks the question is still open? Lorne Michaels never got the Beatles to accept his offer of $800. They just left that money on the table.

Also, worth noting that Nancy Reagan always cleared important events with her astrologer.

Reach out to as many in the Senate and House as you can about the Epstein files and gun violence. They are bigger than “I only represent my constituents” issues.

Use/share this spreadsheet (bit.ly/Goodtrouble) as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to those in your own state, and those in a committee that fits your topic. Call. Write. Email. Protest. Unrelentingly. We deserve better ❤️‍🩹🤍💙
