NEW: Trump’s lies about the ballroom may be among his most galling to date - and that's saying something. Take action: https://tinyurl.com/msfpatpw

Who else can’t wait to see both Putin and Trump fall HARD?

Thank you, as usual, Scott. These good news items about dictators falling and the weakness of them all are the best gift a mother could get on Mother’s Day. Love, Susan

Oh the joy for this world when Putin and Trump are gone. Realistically there are others lurking out there. Yet these two are of no value to anyone.

When Putin falls, we may finally see the original, unredacted contents of the Epstein files.

I thought the same thing about the Epstein files.

Sounds so much like Trump. And Orban.

Nina Simmonds's avatar

And Sadam and Stalin and Nero and Hitler and…

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

I'm amazed and encouraged that Orbán seems to be leaving voluntarily. It's hard to imagine Putin doing likewise, at least not with a hard push from his inner circle.

What a lovely Mother's Day gift, all the good news especially about Ukraine. Despite Trump's best efforts to assist Putin, the Russians are losing, 343k dead! Between 1m and 1.2m total casualties! There are an awful lot of Russian mothers who aren't celebrating today.

Great news...I want to live long enough to see both of these horrid men in prison.

Most people I speak with about Trumpfuhrer recall how many times they have believed that he was down and on his way out, only to see hm not only survive, but actually grow stronger. So for them and many others it’s a “I’ll believe it when I see it” attitude!

I have to admit, I agree with these folks, Larry - I have had high hopes dashed so many times with trump, I’m skeptical and cynical now. Trump has such a bromance hardon for Putin, I’ve been vaguely curious if he has an actual crush on him; I’m concerned what trump will do to save his potential post-Melania bride (though his love for Putin is unrequited). Will he go after Ukraine with our own depleted, exhausted military (of course, without consulting congress)? Will he send billions of dollars to Putin that we don’t have? (Our national debt is now almost $40 TRILLION, and is growing by over $7 billion every DAY!)

Anyway, I just hope the citizens of both of our countries WIN and put these vicious dictators on trial for treason, and about a gazillion other crimes against humanity.

Most poignant statement: “Putin will be toppled at some moment by his own circle when he stops being convenient for them." tRUMP will be toppled by activists when enough people awaken to his convenience to billionaires and his disdain for democracy

Wis's avatar

I love your optimism, Sister Stan! My cynical self thinks the people left who haven’t realized what trump is by now: they ain’t gonna change. Fox has thoroughly brainwashed its audience. But I like your version of the future better!💕

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Same here. Trump's apparent strength depends on the craven cowardice of the congressional Republicans and, propping them up, the influence of the billionaire, mega-multimillionaire, and corporate donors and supporters. I'm more than a little shocked that they've let it get this bad -- perhaps because there's no heir apparent capable of taking over, so the most likely alternative includes Democratic majorities in both House and Senate and, on January 20, 2029, a Democrat in the White House. Not a pretty vision for the oligarchs.

AND.....A VERY GOOD MORNING, SCOTT❣️

Thank you for this read this morning.🙏🏻 My heart was heavy when I awoke, because it is "MOTHER'S DAY". I should be celebrating.....but then I WOKE UP! Not to a celebration.....but to an AWAKENING. THERE ARE SO MANY MOMS and MOMS TO-BE that do not have the opportunity to ever wake up again😟 including my own Mom. She gave me LIFE❣️ Not a life to squander on myself, in self congratulations, but a life to be GRATEFUL FOR. WE were never GIVEN LIFE.....TO TAKE LIFE. We were given LIFE to GIVE LIFE AND to demonstrate LIFE to those who are BORN and GIVEN LIFE "AFTER US".

What is BEING DEMONSTRATED by Ukraine, is to be COMMENDED❣️ They are the TRUE LEADERS right NOW. THEY are not out there to TAKE LIFE. They are there doing their BEST to create a LARGE ENOUGH HARDSHIP, for those who want to TAKE LIFE, to come to the realization that LIFE is NOT THEIRS TO TAKE. It is showing. Even a lot of Russians, themselves, are coming to the "AWAKENING".

In reading you THIS PARTICULAR MORNING? It gives me so ❣️MUCH❣️ LOVE.....not to myself,as a Mom.....But to "ALL" MOMS who came before us and "ALL' MOMS who will come after us, that HAVE and WILL continue to CREATE LIFE in the IMAGE OF LOVE.

I see Zelensky through eyes of just 1 of HIS PROUD MOMS through the generations that brought us to this moment, and through the eyes of HIS PROUD MOMS that will follow in generations to come.

I speak to ALL MOMS, when I say....."I" am no longer alone.....for YOU and I are NOT ONLY as just 1 of the millions of....."We" THE MOMS....."we" have turned the tables and have become the MILLIONS of the "1".

❣️HAPPY❣️❣️❣️MOTHERS❣️❣️❣️FATHERS❣️❣️❣️SONS❣️❣️❣️and.....DAUGHTERS DAY❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Not to be forgotten.....but to be "ALWAYS" REMEMBERED as the Past, Present and Future.....CREATORS.💕

Putin and Russian money/ economy and people have been a mess for months. Hopefully he will go down and then Trump will be next--having lost his 2 best buds.
