The walls are closing in! Tish James did nothing wrong! She is a brave black woman defending democracy from fascism. I wrote a poem for her, inspired by her bravery: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/tish-james-did-nothing-wrong

I don’t think she did anything wrong. Trump is just angry at AG James because she won a hefty judgment against his businesses for unpaid New York State taxes, penalties, and interest. Trump is angry as hell and was eager to prosecute AG James as well as James Comey. Even though the case against James Comey was dismissed without prejudice (which means the government could refile it,) the statute of limitations has run, so the government couldn’t refile even if it wanted to. As for the case against AG James, anyone who tried to refile it would be playing Russian roulette with their bar license. I’m not a fan of John Bolton, but I hope the court can dismiss the case against him. The case Alina Habba brought against LaMonica McIver is unfortunately still winding its way through the district court in a New Jersey.

He runs on the fumes of immaturity, nothing else. Only an undeveloped and immature person would gather motivation from the poison of retribution, vindictiveness, hostility, self-centeredness, cowardice, brutality and hatred.

A baby with no adult guidance, who fails to hold on to the things it grabs

and gets pushed down over and over, will develop these kinds of animal-level reactions - but the loving guidance of parents will instead show the child better approaches, helping them to understand setbacks and learn from challenges.

Since those occasions seem to have been denied the president when he needed them, his bad fortune should be HIS own, and not ours (to poorly paraphrase a very old cowboy song). Immunity has nothing to do with guilt!

I’m not surprised Mandami met with Trump or how he managed to stay true to his ideals and opinions. There is an old saying: keep your enemies close. Mandami showed that

I just saw a psychologist give his comments on YouTube, about the “piggy” remark Trump made against a journalist. Many of us have seen our parents deteriorate like this, when dementia sets in. They lose all inhibitions, and have no censors to stop what comes out of their mouth. The psychologist also pointed out how Trump’s verbal usage has deteriorated, remembering how he danced around and sang, during one of his last campaigns.

Any benevolent family members or staff would seek treatment for Trump, or put him (and the rest of us) out of his misery!

We have watched this deterioration increase ever since 2017. He needs to be put somewhere where he is no longer a threat to the country and to himself. IMHO.

Granted he’s older and weaker!

He’s ALWAYS been a disgusting blob of protoplasm, most unfit for any type of power. Just because folks are finally looking past all the glitter and hearing and seeing the psychopathology that has always been there doesn’t negate what so many of us tried to warn of since 2015!!

He lacks more than ever any sense of appropriateness or decorum socially - he is clueless.

Witness his little shuffling, arm-churning dance to 'Ave Maria' at a campaign event last year.

His ego is blown out completely.

There’s no telling what drugs he’s on to try to appear normal. He’s been a Jekel & Hyde character for a good while & they have covered it up so he could hold on to the voters who are have believed him for years.

Actually, I would bet that should he be put in a “rest home” he would continue to hallucinate that he is President of the U.S. IMHO.

TONY's avatar

The 'rest home' can be MAR-A-LARDO!

He can re-read the classified documents, make public what he hasn't already disclosed & have secret service protection.

Daddy Trump thought he was still running the organization, so they hired a secretary to maintain the pretense.

If you remember, President Biden stopped intelligence reports from going to Trump & living in TRUMP TOWER, he still believed he was in charge.

1. I think it was great for Mamdani to meet with Trmp, and he showed others how to do it. Trmp is so false that his laying on of charm means nothing, except that he thinks he can charm Mamdani into some kind of compliance, but it won't work with this guy. 2. Broken brain? yes, but an investigation into a cover-up won't go anywhere until Democrats are in power, in Congress at least.

Yes, I do think Trump is suffering from some form of mental deterioration and that a more serious test should be given to determine if it’s simply dementia or another organic cause. I suspect if you could survey country leaders who have met with him recently, they would concur. All you have to do is look at a compilation of his posted rants and videos of his press conferences to confirm his downward spiral.

It's time to seriously discuss the 25th Amendment before he sends troops into Venezuela. Repeating the disastrous policies of Robber Barons of the 1880's in Latin America, The sellout to the Saudis of the Nixon- Kissinger disaster, and the "great communicator Reagan's Iran Contra debacle in Central America.

Let's defend education so history continues to repeat itself. Making war is great for business...

I trust Mandami to be able to meet with Trump and hold his own. Yes there should be action on Trump’s escalation of illegal activities and threats of violence.
