The only thing scarier than Trump is all the people who continue to support him and enable him. I have friends who are Evangelical Magats who I continue to ask, “What’s the breaking point for you? What does Trump have to do for you to no longer support him?” It boggles my imagination that people so caring to others in their personal lives will tolerate years of his cruelty.

There were Germans who, after Hitler had committed suicide and had destroyed Europe, were still supportive of him, saying, "If it hadn't have been for [insert excuse], he would have succeeded and I'd still support him." Such is the nature of cults.

I think, there literally isn't one. Ends-Means-and cultish-religio devotion. And honestly, how many of these MAGAs are "good people" anyway...

Trump calling someone “Piggy” is massive projection.

I can’t wait for some fed-up person to tell him off royally. It’d be worth losing your job over. It’d also make you famous (at least for a time.)

Mr. Spivey, it seems that he's beginning to treat everyone like the help! Actually, he's talking to her like she stole something...like she was a simple minded, run-of-the-mill negra'. Like he's Rhett Butler and she was one of the slaves! Not Hattie McDaniel in Gone With the Wind (Mammy) , more like Prissy, played by Butterfly McQueen. That White House is now the "big house", the south has rose again! But even Prissy would have found the courage to say, " shoot on you, I'm going to the field, you can have this ole stinky place!"

Where is the criticism of MBS not wearing a suit in the Oval?

MBS wears tailored suits.

Thank you for keeping it brief. Time for words is over and i just hope there is some action that will hold him accountable someday soon.

What boggles my mind is that no other journalist in that room spoke up. This happens again and again. There should have been a mass declaration that this is not acceptable, but everyone is so concerned about access that they bend the knee and discard their core values again and again.

This was a prime example of just how deep & prevalent misogyny is in this country. I used to believe that I would see a female president in my lifetime but after the past 2 pres. elections involving women, & seeing the disgusting misogynistic comments & behaviors of many in power or who have platforms that have faced no accountability, I no longer have that hope. Will those with bigoted attitudes here ever change?

Ten years in, I have come to believe that the journalists who reflect a stoicism in the face of the sad and pitiful and evil slights of the great tragedy for this country that is Donald Trump are NOT beng professionals. They are being cowards. It is accepted that the boardrooms are the places that are full of the craven lickspittles, the CNN execs and the ABC execs and the suits at the NYT. And the media stars and the Republican Senators--we just understand that they''re completely without backbone.

But the rank and file who just take this, who day after day listen to this man belch his poison, and then refuse to tell this piece of shit just how sick and disgusting he is, how much he has degraded the polity, how he has shat on 250 years of decorum, how do they look at themselves in the mirror each morning? I'll say this: Just look around substack. It ain't for job security.

The McCarthy era didn't REALLY end with "have you no shame?" but it was sure as f*** a start.

These pics of U. S. Military saluting a draft dodger, insurrectionists, convicted felon and prolific child rapist, will define the fallen USA into eternity. That says it all. It's weird how the fraud of a nation is revealed. 11/5/2024. USA fooled the world for a long time. This revelation and shame will well overtake that foolery.

Saw that, not a bit surprised. At every turn he reminds us of the School Yard, the School Yard Bully, in particular. What a prat! Right back at you Donald, 'Quiet, Quiet, Piggy.'

You know, I think this was an example of restraint on his part. He probably would be screaming, spitting and slapping an underling off camera, but insulting and telling her to 'shut up', was all the schmuck could do in a room full of reporters and cameras.
