It will truly be interesting to see what is released and then what happens after that. If anyone condones what men have done to young girls,.....

Precisely! I want to see the names of those disgusting creatures and I want to see every one of them held fully accountable, no matter how much money they have put in GOP coffers

Yes looks like the speaker is trying to dismiss Congress today so they don’t have to vote on the healthcare or the Epstein files. Is he gonna get away with it?

I didn’t watch-but, according to the reports regarding the lie ridden speech and the way that he delivered them, I think he has a large stash of drugs in his possession that he freely uses to get him through his “presidency”

My only comment can be: when will all the Republicans admit he’s sick , highly deranged, unable to understand or focus on the truth. “He doesn’t understand, never will.” Who knows him better than his chief of staff?

I really believe in this point in time they know. They are using him for their political agenda. They probably fill his head with all sorts of ideas. ☹️

I agree 💯 percent. His speechs are written by others to promote the project 2025 agenda. He is their puppet. He doesn't read data so his staff, like Stephen Miller fill his head with absolute distortions of reality.

I totally agree that the regime is so using him and they will prop him up as long as they can or until his last breath. We need to get rid of all of them at once and asap!.

Thank you, Jack Smith!

I think he is already running a lot of things. He can't wait until Vance is president so they can fully implement their plan of white Christian Nationalist autocracy.

I refused to watch his address as I knew it would depress me. Now I know why there was nothing on the morning news shows concerning his address......as I am sure it was an embarrassment to his party and our country.

Why is no one calling him out for his irrational behavior and words and Karoline Leavitt's lies? Shouldn't she be held accountable for what she says? Can the American people sue her for lying to us? If the dems take over the house and the senate in 2026 can we have her removed from office?

How do we finally declare him unfit? I am asking more questions than I am answering....sorry.

I'm with you! I can't stand the sound of his voice (not to mention what he is saying) - and looking at him is even worse! I also believe Elon elected him... He's been a Putin plant since his first term (remember the private meetings with only a Russian interpreter for T?)

And Elon was promising him that he would win... There's no way he won PA, not to mention the other states. We need to impeach him and regain our democracy!

I Agree 100%!!!! I have said all along that I can't believe there are that many deranged, stupid people in this country. To elect that POS a second time just doesn't make sense. I know there are those who don't believe a woman should be president...but I was sincerely hoping they would remember what a mess he was the first time around. He is as crooked as they come, always has been, always will be. He has no morals. Not a decent bone in his failing body. He is surrounded by people chasing the almighty dollar for their own gain, just like him. I also do not think he was shot. I believe it was all staged....now there's a conspiracy theory for you! Try looking up information about the people killed, especially the shooter.....

I remember well when Sean Spicer spewed that "TRump's inauguration was the biggest ever! More people attended than ever!" I remember laughing out loud too...

Susan Hudson's avatar

I have wondered what happens to people like Spicer....do they go into hiding, leave the country, once the truth is showcased??? I would never hire someone who openingly lied to our nation. I loved the way McCarthy impersonated him on Saturday Night Live.

I turned the TV off the second I heard his voice. Very disappointed that MS Now aired it. Oh well. I'm glad I didn't watch or hear it.

Very glad the statue of Lee was finally removed & replaced by a real patriot.

I wish Jack Smith's deposition was made public & something is done with it to indict T AGAIN & FINALLY.

Yeah! And I saw today that she had a scathing review of it afterwards, but I didn't stay tuned to hear it. I'm quite sure I wasn't alone in that! What a waste of her excellent reporting skills.

There’s a place for confederate statues and that would be in a museum with the history lesson to go with it. Take them all down! I didn’t watch trumpy last night but from what I’ve read this morning it was more of the same: angry, meandering, slurred speech. This is not what I want from an American president!

About question #2: I would rather stick my head in the toilet than watching ANY of these "addresses", hard to believe that yesterday's could be worse than previous ones, but I'm glad I missed it. And you found the perfect face cover, thank you, Scott!

I refused to watch his speech last night. Thank you to you and other Substack writers for watching it so I didn't have to. (We watched Stand By Me on Netflix instead!)

It's about time the statue of Robert E Lee was removed and replaced with one of a teen civil rights icon.

I watched Stand By Me too, last night!! It seemed fitting to watch a classic Rob Reiner film, instead of watching Trump rant and rave, lie and profusely sweat.

I've been binge watching Rob Reiner's movies since Monday. I was supposed to go listen to him speak in Palm Springs on Tuesday at the Plaza Theater. I was just heartbroken to hear the news and for his family and friends. RIP.😞

Oh, that’s so sad! Keep watching these modern classics. Tonight is The Sure Thing, which we have on DVD. May Rob’s movies live on and continue to entertain movie-goers for generations.

Rather than watch his unhinged “address” I just set up a chalkboard and scraped my fingernails across it for 18 minutes, much better.

I wouldn't usually watch Don-Old give a speech, but I was too curious about the topics he would raise... What a disaster, my 1st thought was what drugs did they give him to get him through those 20 minutes? He basically yelled, as though that would make his lies become truths. Blaming Biden is his go-to crutch... Luv the Grinch face, he looked like he was hiding behind the decorations!!!! He's desperate!!!!!
