Got to get the vibe out. To get the energy out. Got to be one of We The People getting our message out! The pretender-in-cheese and his gang that kisses ass great need a strong message to stop or else!
This is OUR country and NOT THEIRS to ruin and despoil unopposed!
Trump’s ankles swelling while the streets swell with protest feels like cosmic choreography. The body of empire is collapsing, and the people are marching with lungs full of fire.
Bruises on his hand, bruises on democracy—same diagnosis. Chronic insufficiency. Not enough truth, not enough justice, not enough love to keep the blood moving. The protests are the transfusion.
I got a bruise like that (albeit about the size of a quarter) on my inner am when a ham-handed phlebotomist collected a couple of tubes of blood for some standard tests during a regular check-up. It hurt like the dickens, but it was only bruised for a few days. For Trump it has been weeks.
I love seeing all of these people, The Unions, Rev Al, and others, but I am still waiting for it all to come together. All of these groups and others to create on big, bold, behemoth. ( a monster of all marches, ) from coast to coast. We have to win, so do what you can. Each day that passes, he becomes more childlike, more evil, and more destructive
That's the plan I hope... Like countries in Eastern Europe where massive turn out turned the tide... Or recently in S Korea... We can do it he same!!!!!
I lived in the EU for 12 years, and they don't play. I am from the Boomer Gen, we knew what it was like to protest for Civil Rights and against the Vietnam War. Younger Generation think America is on autopilot, and I hope they wake up and soon, because it's their Democracy to lose.
I was on this weeks "What's the Plan?" call with Indvisible and they have been hinting at a No Kings Rally 2.0 although no date has yet been mentioned.
Scott, I’m a survivor of bypass cardiac surgery so I’m very aware of outward signs of cardiac deterioration. Trump’s hand is not the only sign of Trump’s physical downward descent. Why isn’t any of our “intrepid “ media questioning it as it did Biden’s?
I wonder how hard it would be for someone assemble all his symptoms and feed them into an AI engine trained on all the best online medical symptom-checking databases. Then have it spit out the highest probability diseases (with sources cited) that would manifest those symptoms.
The GOP seems awfully enamoured with AI replacing "experts" and it would simultaneous make the ethical dilemma about real live doctors making diagnoses without actually seeing the patient moot.
I would think it would then be a simple matter to make this analysis (with full disclosure of the methodology, of course) go viral. What do you think?
She’d probably scold you while talking down to you as though you were a stable imbecile and then come up with a whopper of an excuse that neither one of us could come up with for the remainder of our lives (combined)🤯🙊😱
See what she said in response to Jen Psaki condemning the school shooting in Minneapolis, turning it around to say Psaki is insulting praying people everywhere. What a piece of shit Leavitt is.
Isn’t that the truth🤦♀️ It didn’t take but damn near a nanosecond for even Biden’s most loyal supporters to turn from him like he had the plague after his bad debate and the questions that hounded him about his health were disgracefully and disgustingly relentless by EVERYONE - including “our intrepid media”; that’s the part that galls me the most. It’s like we’re living in two different worlds with what was asked and reported of President Biden vs delusional, narcissistic, psychopathic fascist tRUMp, and why I’m so appreciative of Scott’s daily posts. It always amazes me when I realize, on any given day, what I’ve missed in the news and wonder how many people will NEVER know what’s happening. These days, ignorance is not bliss.
I’m totally with you on this. They ripped into Biden relentlessly. I was appalled. To me I thought Biden was a fantastic President. Will never change my mind.
I could have been born in Canada since my dad was working there when my mom was pregnant with me. Of course I never would have dreamed of the situation we are in now, when i turned 18 (or is it 21) and I would have had to choose one or the other for citizenship.
You may have a chance to use that connection, I dunno. 🤷♀️ 🤞
…NO ONE could have dreamed we’d be in the situation we are now…!! No decent couple would have become pregnant if they could see that their children would be living in this hell as adults!
I keep thinking that TRump will keel over any day now. He's completely demented, mentally warped and physically unfit for the presidency. He needs to be GONE. JD Vance isn't any better, but at least the MAGAt cult wouldn't have their leader to worship anymore... #Onward
Yes! And we wouldn't have to see his ugly mug and hear his awful voice doling out lies and vitriol 24/7. Honestly, I just can't imagine how wonderful it will be for all of us.

I appreciate that family is important, but grab all of them and show up at a demonstration. They won’t have anything left to celebrate after Trump leaves if we don’t get out there and show our patriotism to this country, we the people!
Though I have to admit, I consider trump’s social graces to be akin to a malfunctioning, angry robot. I just don’t get his popularity. I pray Vance is seen as a total dud, but I’ve apparently never known how Americans will respond to idiot powermongering bigots.
I agree. It’s hard to believe Trump would step down for any reason, but if he did, Vance is even more under the control of Theil and friends and the Heritage Foundation. He has even less experience and flubs his comments almost as often. To think he’d step in and then be able to run again in 2028 is really appalling.
I've read about theories that the oligarchs (i.e., Peter Theil and his cadre) intended to oust Trump from the time they got Vance lined up to be Trump's running mate.
Oh how I agree with you! The aim is DICTATURA! They both aim to be Dictator. Trump is more transparent, there are some very dangerous dark forces, dark money behind Vance, while he himself lacks a lot in brain and personality. You are right, Vance is a lot worse!
Nah. He’s even weaker than tRump. Everywhere in the whole world where he goes, he’s booed. He is not respected anywhere. Watch the video of him, Miller and Kegsbreath in Union Station in DC! I’m

I am a subscriber! I love that stack
Why are the "like", "share" and "comment" buttons missing on my Substack articles now?
That happens sometimes I think Emily---it is just a bug on the Substack site. Try clearing your cache. It happens to me too sometimes

Wow... That's saying it... Great analogies!!!!!
As always, Virgin Monk Boy, you get it said clearly and poetically. Bravo, and I agree with all your sentiments!!
Your column is the first thing I read every day. It helps me face another day of disgusting crap coming out of the White House. Thanks again!!!
Thank you Maia!!!
I read this column every day! ONWARD!
ONWARD EDIE!
Me too!
Yes, and upward!
Same here!
Thank you Patty!
Me too! It's the only thing keeping me sane.
Show me pictures of this dude doing mass quantities of handshaking.
…..I’ll wait.
I got a bruise like that (albeit about the size of a quarter) on my inner am when a ham-handed phlebotomist collected a couple of tubes of blood for some standard tests during a regular check-up. It hurt like the dickens, but it was only bruised for a few days. For Trump it has been weeks.
He’s probably getting some kind of an infusion every day practically.
Sun: 😅😅. Plus, how would the bruises happen on the *back* of his hand from a handshake? I guess they *are* teeny hands…
LoL, not just handshaking, but heroically handshaking! You can't make this shit up
I’v got some sustenance ready and available for you. It’s gonna be a long, long wait…..
I love seeing all of these people, The Unions, Rev Al, and others, but I am still waiting for it all to come together. All of these groups and others to create on big, bold, behemoth.

Re:Gavin. He’s a dream come true by breaking through what appeared to be an unbreakable trump. He found a way to expose the madness. Go Gavin!!!

It should be for sure!
It would be interesting to see what lies KKKarolying Lie-vitt would vomit if asked directly about the hand bruises
I wonder how hard it would be for someone assemble all his symptoms and feed them into an AI engine trained on all the best online medical symptom-checking databases. Then have it spit out the highest probability diseases (with sources cited) that would manifest those symptoms.

I would think it would then be a simple matter to make this analysis (with full disclosure of the methodology, of course) go viral. What do you think?
I think people have probably already tried AI analysis of his symptoms, but it hasn't gone viral that I know of.
Maybe instead of wasting the energy, water and power, just do a little research. It doesn't harm the environment like AI.
I think it would be a waste of effort. But that's me.
Go for it if it's important to you.

I’ve got a great POS emoji for Karolying Lie-vitt but Substack won’t “take” it. Apologies if any of my replies appear to be all over the place😡
I just use profanity
Don’t even🤬🤬🤬🤬
Their oligarch overlords won't allow it.

Cowardice. Greed. Suppression. Take your pick.
I will not relax until all cowardly republicans flee out the back door.
Just like that MAGAT Moore in Alabama. Cowards all! Keep up the pressure it’s working!!!
Ernst is making an exit!
I’m hoping it’s because she’s reading the room correctly. When facing constituents they ALL fold like a cheap suit! Elect a Dem Iowa!
I am with all in spirit but am in Canada. I am staying I. Touch
It's a wonderful time to be Canadian! I'd consider moving if I could.
Me too! I’ve looked into it and I don’t think I’d qualify to get residency/citizenship. This makes me very sad.
I could have been born in Canada since my dad was working there when my mom was pregnant with me. Of course I never would have dreamed of the situation we are in now, when i turned 18 (or is it 21) and I would have had to choose one or the other for citizenship.

His hand reminds me of that slogan RFK Jr. tried for a few days before he came up with MAHA: Make America Leprous Again!

WONDERFUL!
We have got a bridge brigade action today too.
Awesome CP!
I’ll be busy all weekend with family, but protesting in my heart!
I appreciate that family is important, but grab all of them and show up at a demonstration. They won’t have anything left to celebrate after Trump leaves if we don’t get out there and show our patriotism to this country, we the people!
Amen!
Same.
Well, his health is fucked, and Vance is actively now getting ready to assume the kings seat. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/danger-danger-jd-vance-is-ready-to
The signs are obvious at this point.
And vance is MUCH worse.
But much less popular.
He is so socially awkward that no one would be happy with him as the Commander in Chief.
Though I have to admit, I consider trump’s social graces to be akin to a malfunctioning, angry robot. I just don’t get his popularity. I pray Vance is seen as a total dud, but I’ve apparently never known how Americans will respond to idiot powermongering bigots.
I agree. It’s hard to believe Trump would step down for any reason, but if he did, Vance is even more under the control of Theil and friends and the Heritage Foundation. He has even less experience and flubs his comments almost as often. To think he’d step in and then be able to run again in 2028 is really appalling.
He wouldn't be let off in the way Trump is though. I can't see "oh it's just JD's way" working the way it does for him.
Hopefully!
Trump may not have a choice.
I've read about theories that the oligarchs (i.e., Peter Theil and his cadre) intended to oust Trump from the time they got Vance lined up to be Trump's running mate.
Oh how I agree with you! The aim is DICTATURA! They both aim to be Dictator. Trump is more transparent, there are some very dangerous dark forces, dark money behind Vance, while he himself lacks a lot in brain and personality. You are right, Vance is a lot worse!
I'm hoping when the cult leader dies, much of the fever will be broken. No one seems to like Vance.
Nah. He’s even weaker than tRump. Everywhere in the whole world where he goes, he’s booed. He is not respected anywhere. Watch the video of him, Miller and Kegsbreath in Union Station in DC! I’m
not worried about that little pansy.
Yes. Protesting!!!
