If any media should be silenced, it is that orange POS's truth social crap! The fact that the supposed leader of this country posted a meme showing President Obama and First Lady Obama as apes made me sick to my stomach! Why not shut him down and leave truthful media alone. With people like you, Scott, and Professor Reich, Bowers News, People Power United, Heather Cox Richardson and so many others, I know I will get the truth. I also know I have enough sense to know the difference between lies and propaganda vs the truth. The orange man has no soul. He is an empty shell that has been filled up with hate, revenge, racism, misogyny, grifting, cheating, greed and immorality. He will have eternity in hell to finally learn what got him there. We are growing and we are strong. He simply cannot have our country! Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!

So agree, Peggy! Trump should be done! He's despicable!

Certainly there must be someone who can hack in to truth social and x and shut them down.

Well I’m glad you asked about Trump’s comments. Personally, I think he is a reprehensible being who should never have been allowed anywhere near the White House.

Bet you didn’t know that about me. 🤣

And it will forever have a stench about it, for his time there.

There aren’t enough cans of air cleaner to get rid of it.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so impressed by a politician’s tone deafness until I heard Mike Lawler. He walks right into it.

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

Joni Ernst came close with her "people will die anyway" comment.

With respect to Lawler, he has a slew of Democrats vying for the privilege of running against him. So if you would like to make a $$ contribution towards his defeat, I recommend ActBlue's nominee fund for this district:

Trump’s comments on NBC are typical. Good and Pretti were “no angels” coming out of the disgusting mouth of this toad - should have been challenged by the interviewer. A nurse? A veteran? A mother of young children? Why doesn’t he get called on this????

Taco is the worst vile attention *HORE ever. Nothing is normal in this country now. Thank you Scott for your hard work. ✌🏻

1. I think the headline on the next edition of WAPO should be, ‘Bezos singlehandedly kills democracy AND drives unemployment numbers higher’.

Between WAPO and Amazon, he’s kicking people to the curb.

2. Trump’s answer about Renee Good and Alex Pretti are expected. We should rephrase the questions to highlight his narcissism. ‘Mr. President, did your ICE orders to kill Good and Pretti put you in a bad light?’

Susan Bigley's avatar

#1 Bezos bought the WP to shut it down. It was the plan all along. Just my opinion.

#2 Trump is enjoying the cruelty, he cannot help himself, it's who he is.

I feel that those journalists who were laid off should search out independent journalism and continue to make their voices heard defending Democracy. We need their voices heard. Livy

Sharing this perspective of a three time Trump voter with absolute regret that I posted on BlueSky...it was on C-SPAN this morning. Listen to the full video:

Thanks for sharing this link. I'm glad he finally came to his senses, but the phrase, 'too little, too late' comes to mind.

Cathy R's avatar

I never know if I should believe these types of things. Anyone can call in and said they voted for Trump but now have changed their mind. But we have no way of knowing if he was a trump supporter or not

Joe English's avatar

Cathy, I will lovingly challenge to believe this to be real. I have not seen another person who stated in that in all the places it has been picked up. The video is now fodder for Aaron Parnas.

djw's avatar

BlueSky won't let me.

Joe English's avatar

See if any of these work. I know you like links so here are 3 locations I posted it. It is simply too perfect not to share. Almost always I only post videos I took.

Thanks! I've got it now!

You should definitely be able to see it from my note on Substack:

Yep--got it and restacked it!

I live in Lawler’s district and glad you are addressing his loyalty to Trump, his hypocrisy and trying to pretend he is moderate. He is a like an arsonist who likes to claim credit for putting out the fire. help us help get him OUT of office! please keep the heat on Lawler!!

Kim Nesvig's avatar

My thoughts on trump’s view of the ICE executions of Good and Pretti? It’s simple. Trump could care less. In fact, I would be that Trump gets a tiny erection every time he sees video of ICE beating and or killing.

Theodora's avatar

👏🏼 to Speaker Emerita Pelosi for sounding the alarm 🚨 on press freedom. Speak out and keep the lights on!

🍊has no remorse. Attacks the victims and protects the killers. Disgusting 🤢

Katharine Cosenza Butler's avatar

Of course the WAPO decline is unconscionable, especially since Bezos has so much money, he could keep it going forever. That said, PLEASE boycott Amazon in all of its forms, including Whole Foods. No excuses to spend one more penny . Period. You got along without it before, get rid of it now!

The question is how long will it take for magas who are not pure evil to realize that trump is?

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

IMO, there have been an infinite number of opportunities for Trump voters to get off the Trump Train. I don't hold out much hope for the hard-core MAGA (i.e., anyone who voted for him 3 times).

IMO, low information voters who voted for him in 2016 fall into the category of "Fool me once, shame on YOU". But anyone who voted for him again in 2020 after Charlottesville ("there are good people on both sides") plus Trump's mishandling of Covid don't get a pass from me by claiming ignorance. And I don't hold out much hope for redemption for anyone who voted for him 3 times.

I'm very frustrated by the people who voted for him for the first time in 2024 because they believed Trumps LIES about bringing down prices, only deporting criminals, and ending wars on Day One.

Understanding maga psychology allows one to view more vectors of vulnerability.
