A prime-time war address, an Easter luncheon turned into a self-worship rally, and a final reminder that the real story of this era is cruelty made routine.
Mary, each morning I read the horrible and shocking news, and then I read your wonderful recap and feel better. Grounded. Appreciative and amazed at the vigor you apply to your prose. Thank you.
Thank you for your piece on Trump's deranged word salad. As for NATO being a "paper tiger", it is not meant to be any kind of tiger. It is a DEFENCE alliance, where members are committed to come to the aid of another member being ATTACKED. It is NOT intended to be a commitment by its members to come to the aid of another who has decided (by unilateral decree) to go to war with another Country. Putin is similarly confused, regarding NATO as a THREAT if it comes close to Russia. How strange (I don't think) to find Trump and Putin with a similar line of thought!
How is it that this vile improviser - who vows vengeance to all who won’t bow to his will - is still allowed to plunder our nation’s assets and good will for his own greed and self-glorification - while orchestrating sadistic displays of violence here and another Iraq abroad because adult responsibility bores him?
“Failure of institutions” explains only so much. The rancid moral decay and lie-dependent culture within MAGA are key, but MAGA faithful are a minority. Billionaire tech fascists are creating a fan base for their anti-democracy misogyny - but not without pushback.
Mary’s ability to convey truth is a gift and so important to defeating the dark forces of Trump’s golden calf regime.
What a strange time to live in America. How is it possible that there are still people who think that this man is the leader that they want at the helm of our Nation. He has effectively destroyed all our institutions and looted our coffers. He and his band of deplorables need to face the piper. Hurry up Karma!

All of Trump’s bizarre and contradictory policies click into focus when you analyze how each of them benefits Putin.
Future historians will replace Benedict Arnold with Donald Trump as the greatest traitor in American history.

Karma needs help from the American people. We are the cavalry.
