Trump rages at the press, sells visas to the wealthy, levels historic trees, and leaves Putin free to bomb Ukraine while his $15 billion lawsuit collapses in court.
I just keep wondering how much longer I can take this. I imagine the ballroom with ladies and gentlemen in dated attire twirling round and round in a waltzing blur. Each couple representing the corruption and distraction of Trump. Epstein, Russia, tariffs, immigration, war against American citizens, war against blue states, graft, destruction of the rule of law, ignorance of the Constitution, insurrection, demolition of the White House and time honored trees, laying waste to the rose garden and replacing it with an "In Club", fascism, racism, annihilism. Our slippery slope has become a waterfall. It's no wonder his plans for that ballroom expanded to fit all of the dancing distractions.
Someday a collection of these newsletters will be read by reality-based survivors of the MAGA freak show impacting the globe, and they will ask how millions of humans could have been so manipulated they couldn’t see what was plainly in front of them.
You have become one of my favorite writers! I love your commentaries and how you encapsulate all of the craziness that is going on with the current "regime". I've described your style to others as "snarky", and I hope you continue to keep that style of writing going forward. Many thanks! JohnD
Mary, These reports, so necessary, could be a synopsis for a TV series where the action never stops. This man is a one-dick wrecking crew, swinging the cudgel of pure power and whim. A circus of obeisance clowns surrounds him, despicable human beings and, for the TV show, great love-to-hate characters. The good guys are plentiful and smart and look like Gavin Newsom, but are still outgunned; the other side has all the power players. The audience know the stakes couldn't be higher and for everyone, it's personal. We are mesmerized, and cannot turn it off, even when it's off. And how many more seasons?
I would love to see the media ignore the bully for just one week. No TV or print.
That they ride around on Air Force One to try and capture quotes is part of the ridiculousness.

Most of the newsletters will be in Chinese.
I agree-why doesn’t the press try this-also I like the Jimmy Fallon method of voicing over the obvious with drivel but in a child’s voice

My takeaway for the day I can tolerate reading again. Everything else is too disgusting to keep in my head for long.
"Trump saves his venom for Americans who mock him and reserves indulgence for foreign despots who flatter him."
