158. Hell NO! I'm going to a MoveOn meeting online.
Tue Mar 4, 2025, 08:32 PM
Mar 2025

I'm going to attend an online Democratic MoveOn gathering. (His horrid speech will be played, but you can turn the sound off and read the commentary.)

Here is the info:

Justin Krebs

Organizer, Calling BS: Live-chat and Prebuttal to Trump's Address

Dear friends,

With an all-star line-up of lawmakers, commentators, and comedians, we'll cut through Trump's BS, fact-check his lies, lift our spirits, share collective actions, and have a little fun.

Starting at 8:15 p.m. ET, we'll be having a live conversation with rotating participants from across the country offering a prebuttal.

When Trump begins speaking—at around 9:15 p.m. ET—you'll be able to see and hear his speech (our apologies ...) while reading the live commentary from our participants. Throughout the speech, they'll periodically pop in to offer some reactions out loud, but mostly they'll be posting written responses so you can listen to the speech as well.

You can find all the action at

http://MoveOn.org/TrumpBS.

It's not too late to share with friends!

And if for some reason that link doesn't work, find us at https://www.youtube.com/@MoveOnVideo where you can share your own reactions in the YouTube comment thread.

Lastly, if you want to play along at home, download MoveOn's Bingo cards for tonight's speech: moveon.org/BSbingo.

We'll see you all starting at 8:15 p.m. ET at http://MoveOn.org/TrumpBS. Invite friends. Make yourself comfortable. You can come late or leave early or stay and chat with us as long as you like.

— Justin, Britt, Liz, Alyssa, and the rest of the MoveOn team

Tue Mar 4, 2025, 06:48 PM
Mar 2025

The vast majority of people do, all the time. For any speech. When it's from a lying idiot, there's obviously even more reason to do so, but this is like asking "who won't be drinking to the point of unconsciousness tonight?".

Avalanche vs Penguins..................

If I watched Trump, I would need to take extra BP meds an hour before.............
And also a double dose of anti nausea meds

None of the people in Russia pay any attention to Putin's speeches, they know, like Trump, that he and his Pravda are all lies.

And that has already started happening here........at least among us NOT Trumphumpers. But now that Trump no longer needs his voters, and now that he has proceeded to throw his voters under the bus with all of us, maybe some of them will have "WOKE" up....

I worry that the TOP TWO most Malignant Narcissistic, Psychopaths IN THE WORLD, have over 5000 nukes at their fingertips.
If either is ever truly cornered, they will, with great anger and hostility say: " I'll show you".....

I honestly think that any day now, he will proclaim that we are no longer THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Instead, it will be changed to: THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA
Or......better yet, THE CORPORATE TYRANNY OF AMERICA....

And to go on record,...... To all the U.S. Senators, the U.S. House Members, and the members of the U.S. Supreme court who all joined hands in corruptly getting Trump to Where we are today........Just How Fucking Long, Do You Think the Judicial Branch and Legislative Branch Will Be Needed in a Tyranny????????????? Or have you assumed he won't come for you????? First they came for the......etc
Same for the middle upper class and lower upper class.......ps: You will not be in the upper upper class of 1%, EVER.

I have 2 artificial heart valves (thank you, Canadian health care!!!) and cardiac metrics are very important to me staying alive.
