kentuck's Journal"We inherited a mess..."
How many Trump sycophants have you heard say those words? Usually it is in front of the press and they are never questioned about it?
Seems that I recall that Joe Biden inherited more of a "mess" than did Donald Trump? We were just coming out of the worst of the COVID and Joe Biden was able to get the vaccine, created by Trump's administration, out to millions and millions of Americans. The stock market had started to recover. It almost crashed. People were working from their homes and Biden and the Democrats mostly, were able to pass a lot of legislation. Joe Biden was not left with the best of two worlds.
But there was a price for trying to get the economy back on track, with cash subsidies to individuals and small businesses. It is called inflation. It is still with us to a nagging degree even today.
But, it just seems wrong to talk about "the mess they inherited" when they expect people to forget what Joe Biden inherited.
Obviously, a lot of people did "forget". They voted for Trump again in 2024.
One of the pitfalls of democracy, I suppose?
After ten years, everyone still trying to understand, rationalize, and explain the actions of a narcissistic psychopath
There is no other explanation. He is a mentally sick and deformed human being.
There is no need to look for further explanations when he tears down the White House, bombs people in small boats, pardons hardcore criminals, extorts his billionaire "friends", threatens his political enemies, commits all sorts of criminal acts, and tears down our country with every passing day.
We have seen enough. There is no rationalizing his actions. He is a malevolent narcissist, which by definition is a cruel person, with no empathy for others.
This morning he is threatening the NYTimes because they reported on his health. In his ten years in the public spotlight, he has lied and refused to give the people any information about his health.
We do not need any further explanations about Donald J Trump.
He just needs to be gone so America can try to heal itself.
"Altered or Synthetic Content" ?
I watch a lot of You Tube videos, especially on topics I am interested in, such as politics and media.
Recently, I have noticed more and more of them have the words, "Altered or Synthetic Content" which means it is AI and has been edited or created out of whole cloth, but with a person actually speaking as if it is "real". But, it is not.
I used to watch Rick Wilson quite a bit on You Tube, at least bits here and there, but anymore, everytime I click on it, it says it is altered or synthetic? I wonder if Rick Wilson is making these videos by himself or some stranger is using his likeness and his voice?
Perhaps it is just me? But I do not trust anything I see that is AI or has been "altered" or has "synthetic content". I immediately click out of the link.
"He's not funny...he's silly"
"He's not smart... he is stupid."
"He is not a good businessman...he is a fraud."
"He is not a law-abiding citizen....he is a criminal."
"He's not clever...he is cruel."
"He's not dead...he's only sleeping."
Who could that be?
How deep is the MAGA loyalty?
With the elected MAGAs, they are probably afraid to not be loyal. Their loyalty is born of fear.
But, how loyal is the "average" MAGA voter? They have seen that Marjorie Taylor Green has had the courage to criticize Trump and has received death threats for her efforts.
What percentage of MAGAs want to split from the embarrassment of the Trump presidency but have nowhere to go? They have so much invested in the stupidity and unlawfulness of Donald Trump that they must accept their illusion as permanent?
They are ashamed to speak up? They can barely look at themselves in the mirror?
Or are they still 100% devoted to their Leader and Savior, Donald Trump?
Lost in the Chaos
In a country that cannot tell right from wrong?
That cannot tell criminal from legal?
That cannot tell truth from lies?
Where are we going if we don't know where we've been?
There are no coincidences...
How much do you think Donald Trump was paid for his pardon of Hernandez, the former leader of Honduras? Five-hundred million? A billion? How much money did this drug dealer have? It has been reported that he brought hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States?
And Trump gave him a pardon? A coincidence?
Then, there is a madman named Maduro in Venezuela. Trump wants to stop drugs from coming into America so he bombs boats off the coast of that country. He brings in America's largest aircraft carrier into the region. Trump says they may hit land targets soon.
But there are estimates that Venezuela has as much oil reserves as the Saudis. Is that really what Trump is after? Oil? There are no coincidences.
It appears that the leader of this country is extorting people by threatening them with the power of the US military and enriching himself in the process?
Do you think he received anything for his pardon?
It began with "alternative facts"..
It was his first day in office. The Chairman of the Inaugural Committee was Thomas Barrack, Jr, who was one of the names in the Epstein files.
Sean Spicer was the new Press Secretary. In his first appearance, he said that the Trump Inaugural was the largest in recorded history.
KellyAnne Conway tried to explain to Chuck Todd that it was not a "lie" - it was "alternative facts".
And we have been living in that world since those moments.
Now, every Republican that appears before a camera seems insincere and a liar at heart. They could not tell the truth if their lives depended on it. Every single Republican has come across as not only insincere, but deceitful. Every single time.
All for the benefit of Trump's lies and alternative facts.
*** TRUMP PARDONS CRIMINAL WHO SHIPPED 500 TONS OF COCAINE INTO AMERICA ***
Is that story big enough to warrant ALL CAPS?
I cannot believe we can skip over that news as if it is just another story of the day?
500 tons of cocaine? That is unimaginable.
At the same time, he is blowing up drug boats in the Caribbean? Why is he pardoning drug lords if he is serious about fighting drugs coming into our country?
FOR ME, THIS IS A BIG STORY!
Did MTG start a snowball rolling downhill?
No Republican dared to criticize their Dear Leader until Marjorie did it. Now, it seems like she gave a license to other MAGA loyalists to separate from the cult?
There is an election in Tennessee today, in a bright red area of Tennessee, and if the MAGA Republican loses, or only wins by one or two points, then it could spell trouble for the Republicans in the next election. Today's election could be a bellwether for things to come?
Until Marjorie went public with her criticisms, and her defense of the Epstein victims, no one would speak ill of Donald Trump. I don't know if that is the case today?
This election will tell us a lot about where MAGA stands with Trump, in my opinion.
