It used to be, the office of the President of the United States was the most morally scrutinized, ethical and diplomatically sensitive office in the U.S. If you look back in history, the times that the U.S. found itself on-the-ropes as it were, you would also find Presidents like Kennedy, Roosevelt and Lincoln NOT giving in to hysteria, excuses or conspiracies but as anchors.
The term "Class", similar to the term "Goodwill" as it pertains to a business is almost impossible to define in words. But, the idea of "class" is very easy to see. Margaret Thatcher had it, so did Ronald Reagan. Vladimir Zelenski also has class (which is not always defined by family or wealth).
The office of the President has always been the pinnacle of Political achievement. But, also the best in everything the U.S. had to offer. The Emily Post of etiquette, the empathy of the sick and infirmed and the big brother of all those nations struggling to keep democracy alive.
Fast forward to today. In the light of 500 mil going from the U.A.E. to Trump's family business and advanced AI chips going to the U.A.E.; the Assistant Attorney General stated that the Trump family business need not be a role model for America.
Great information as usual. I think we are getting louder, and Trump is trembling in his poopy bed sheets. My concern at this point is the safety of protesters. We have eye witnessed murder/execution in the streets of Minneapolis. Thousands of gastopo ICE agents have been given the mandate to kill at will basically. Now with Trump baby raging night and day and Minneapolis will not bend i am very concerned he will release the murder squad. I am praying that all protesters keep up the singing and dancing in the streets. Do not interact with any Ice agent, they are not worth the time. Be aware they are unilateraly smoke bombing in Oregon. Wear gas masks, watch for phoney agents wearing National Guard vests. God Bless America. We will be vigilant and get our country back.
The cats were out of the bag and baggage long ago. Thanks Mary for unveiling, untangling incompetency the worst ever, never been so bad, you wouldn’t believe how bad. I separated the “good” for bad”joke but incompetency has taken broader horizons at every juncture.
My firm commitment - to settle into pester the pedos and looser politicians all the way to jail ..but heads up Dems it’s a new ball game when your feet hit the mat . The biggest mess ever ain’t just cleaning up their sh*t it’s realizing not just the US’s exposé was/is in need of resuscitation and a nation hungry for truth. Every hand on deck needed and it , our standing, won’t happen for years.
The news as trustworthy needs kid gloves to restore ,proof backing it up, fact checking mandatory.
A big applause for Minneapolis , and let’s all keep the pressure on.
It’s clearly unconstitutional for the feds to seize control of elections, but when has the law meant anything to this regime? I don’t know that he really thinks he can get away with it, but I think he’s doing it to accentuate his claim that Democrats in blue cities and states promote election fraud. He knows Republicans are probably behind the eight ball come November and he’s setting up for all sorts of question marks and contests, especially in close elections. He’s looking to whether he can make these elections appear illegitimate, and if he succeeds at that, then he knows that his fascist regime will likely live on among his progeny 
I suspect plans are in place to enact a midterm election plot equivalent to burning down the Reichstag (the Nazi ploy to seize power by blaming “enemies” for a fire Nazis set).
In our case, it would likely mean baselessly declaring illegal voting and fraud in key blue congressional districts and sending in the FBI to seize ballots and machine vote tallies - this in addition to all means of voter suppression and intimidation.
The regime will know exactly what districts matter to keeping control of the House - the crucial goal given that Senate races are skewed toward Republicans. As in 2016 and 2024, it only takes targeted manipulation to swing outcomes.
Added to the to-do list: press local and state election officials to prepare for worst case scenarios. As we’ve learned, worst case imaginings are often not dark enough.
Again, well explained but very broad expanse, so thank you for bringing it into focus. Yes, I agree, it took all of it coming together to realize i, (small i)maybe WE, each looked at one part at a time and it kept our collective brain out of it, each private agenda impacting the individual even as it spread to the larger audience....This article brought it together so that we can see it as a whole. It is like opening a view to the power of what we can do when we all see the same vision at the same time, the Bad, first, making us aware, but followed by the Good., seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...We have the power in the end. We just have to SEE it. Realize it. Your articles followed it and nailed it. I commend you.
What a difficult read that was. Neither coffee nor tequila will make it better.
Thanks, Mary, for doing the work necessary to make it possible for me to stay informed.

No rules. No world order. Just greed.
good point, though you undermine it massively by applying 'class' to such an awful, smarmy, dishonest person as Reagan.
Just say no…
