3. Good points. That's why he was made president by those seeking to destroy the US.

For every negative on your excellent list, that's a positive for putin, plutocrats, and other pissants.

Instead of bands of loosely knit white supremacist crazy people, they have now all been "deputized" to carry out their authoritarian and fascist agenda on the streets and in people's homes, under the protection and authority of the "law". Everyone they don't like is now an immigrant and/or a terrorist in their eyes. No one is really safe. And their leaders are right in the White House, Congress and Senate, so they will continue to lie and create propaganda no matter how absurd, in an attempt to cover it all up in real time. And the compliant media will simply and willfully propagate this propaganda for them.

We need to be able to fight back in every way that we need to, without being labeled as terrorists or insurrectionists ourselves. Trump's government and/or actions should no longer be legally recognized as legitimate because they are not. The constitutional abuses and outright violations coupled with the daily crimes are obvious for all to see, period. The SCOTUS is compromised so their rulings cannot be trusted.

Perhaps a form of secession of states, withholding federal tax payments, states closing their borders to the federal government or a combination thereof? I'm really not sure. But something needs to be done now, because they are not waiting for us.

We are now in a defacto authoritarian dictatorship. Let that sink in.

Well done LC. I like how you distilled the tragedy we are in so clearly. The progression of greed, lies and theft has left America a rotting corpse.

I have to be honest, I've been sitting on this thought since I watched this video about the Whole Milk legislation.

And it's whole with a W for those of you that have a problem.


Timestamp 2:22 to 2:28

Listen to the way he says it.

#1a. He says it softly like he's not all there, he's lost or about ready to fall asleep.
#1b. If one watches the entire video, he's reading off a list of purposes and people. He has no idea what the fuck is going on.

#2. Someone must of have told him it's "whole" and not "hole". Like he just learned something new and never knew this until now.


How does someone who's clearly not functional giving ICE instructions?

I don't believe that this stupid motherfucker is actually running the country or acting as the "President".

I believe that other people (mainly Theil, Musk and an entire rash of administrative dumb-fucks are instructing him on what to do and when to do it.


Like I said, I've been sitting on this thought since I've watched this video. I don't think he's making any decisions whatsoever. I don't believe he's in control of his title.


I still want him to keel over dead on my birthday. It would be the best frickin' birthday present ever!!!!!

12. Niagara...do you have a link for the video?
Fri Jan 16, 2026, 06:20 PM

That's OK if you don't...I know exactly what you mean.

He doesn't write his own Tweets, and other people are telling him exactly what to say and do.

That $2,000 he promised? He forgot he even said that!

Greenland? Putin is telling him what to do.

These are just a few of many examples.

I hope you are well.

Thank you, Lucky. I'm not feeling well today and I can't find the newly purchased Alka-Seltzer fizzy cold medicine.

I hope you're feeling well.

16. Well, I didn't work yesterday because it was practically a white out here

I went outside to shovel like 3 to 4 times.

My temp is at 97.1 which is low for me. I normally run at 98.9. Currently, I have a bad headache with sneezing.

I found the fizzy cold medicine stuff and just consumed it. I'm going to chill out on the couch and watch Little House on the Prairie.


I know right. This idiot isn't running anything, He's too fucking stupid. He's not the person running todays American gestapo or anything else. Someone else is doing this Nazi crap.


You're welcome and thank you, Lucky!!!

Not even sure they (ie hegsbreath, rubio) run their actions by trump, they just bypass him and blow up boats, use civilian planes as cover etc. Don't forget to add Miller who is feeding trump bs. I hope we will recover from this destruction and cruelty.

I honestly believe his administration running rogue by lying to him.


He's easily manipulated and obviously has some sort of disability with the brain.


I hope that we recover and retain our allies back.
