Mary, an excellent essay. Thank you. I agree with you that climate change is the biggest thing we are facing and giving to future generations. It is happening before our eyes and yet when we need wisdom, foresight, integrity, and honesty, we get this monstrous malicious cancer who is being used by the cabal as a destructive essence, killing everything it touches.

Mary,

It seems that nothing is safe from the unnecessary destruction that this regime is determined to wreak.

I suppose that if you have a malignant narcissist at the head of government, then this will be the end result. What a tragedy for the US and for the rest of the world.

Sue, I think the cabal behind death star spent years looking for anything that they wanted to destroy like Act Blue and other liberal entities.

PBS and NPR have been targeted for a decade.

More and more this regime is a portrayal of what one of the producers revealed about that fictional Apprentice show. After his nondisclosure agreement expired, Bill Pruitt alleged that Trump struggled with the host's duties, forgetting contestants' names, and used racial slurs continually during discussions over a season one winner—an allegation total denied by Trump. It’s always the denial..

Those producers of that “Apprentice show” have stated that they crafted a completely false narrative to present Trump as a wealthy, ultra-successful billionaire and business tycoon, calling the show "a scam" and was for "entertainment" rather than reality. Yep his life is based upon purely fantasy, lies and propaganda for the MAGA cults jubilation for him to succeed and gain even an abundance of wealth and power.

Those key behind-the-scenes revelations from producers included, major image crafting as producer Bill Pruitt stated that his team worked hard to make Trump look like some form of “royalty" that Trump wanted to get out into the masses. Guess that look of “royalty” is what we all are having to pay for now with that opulent bordello oval, reflecting pool fiasco, close to a billion dollar ballroom with helipads for drones he can play with, all the statues in DC now with newly applied close to 24 carat gold leafing and let’s not forget the Kennedy Center with the tarp still over it and the upcoming Frumpy-Arch he wants to place to obscure even a bit of sunlight on our nations capital. Because his actual headquarters in NY City had really dated decor, chipped furniture, and pretty much a dump that producers built a high-powered boardroom set inspired by the movie Network. It’s what called “Reverse-Engineering and Editing”. Where the production staff had to "reverse-engineer" episodes and heavily edit or redact footage because Trump was frequently bad at choosing which contestants to fire, what to say or come off as how he wanted to be portrayed using tyrannical tactics to contestants. So editors spliced scenes to protect his image and ensure he did not look like a "complete moron".

Today we are experiencing a significant reality from purely for an entertainment show… as he always says about “central casting” he has them all around from Hegseth, Rubio, Lutnick, Bessent, JD, let’s just say the “entire regime” plus even apparently their spouses taking the reality of our democratic-republic and continually turning it into a fascist government.

It’s way past time to cancel this show… our reality needs to step up to the plate and VOTE in less than 70 days, to make this change.. Write the new script of them all being held accountable and removed..

Thinking since all those sycophants are all in on changing that ship’s name to that Mango Oompa Loompa as being the most vile of creatures of this entire regime that they all are. All can go aboard including their spouses and spawns with their significant others. This includes those Congressional members who will no longer be employed, a family package to go on the floating flotilla. The ship can hold up to 5,000 people at minimum.. overbooking isn’t an issue. The entire lot of Tangerine-Twaddle’s brood and all those MAGA cult members can live together floating in the oceans and feeding off each other, pay a huge docking fee, refuel and have supplies delivered to the ship and sent back to sea… never to step foot on dry land ever again…

Thank you for that; the part about "The Apprentice" was fascinating, as being a Brit, I have never actually seen the programme.

Mary Geddry's avatar

I’ve never seen it either but I heard about it a lot

TJ, nice, I like it. I would keep resupplying at a minimum.

Michele they will have their own way of paying off for the own supplies. When a person is legally declared incompetent or incapacitated by a court, a court-appointed fiduciary—typically called a conservator or a guardian of the estate takes charge of their financial accounts and assets… May need a few but think this will do nicely, we get paid back out of their coffers and leave a few bucks for them to you know “just survive”.. it’s that affordability what a hoax…

Michele's avatar

TJ, I am reminded of a case where a person was dealing with a conservator and it was messy and unfair to the person telling me about it. I just finished a novel about survival (not everyone did) on an island in the Indian Ocean. I am wondering if without food, they would literally eat each other.

Michelle wouldn’t put it past a one of them…

Excellent!

You hit the nail on the head. And my stomach is turning.

Looks like military families will have to make a choice... exist in the dark regarding what their family members are really facing in their deployments, or start their own underground information systems.

The Book from Orwell's 1984 writes itself in real time, 2026.

Incredibly sad. This administration wants to control what we see, read, hear, think, and feel. Who needs that much control, and to what end? I know that most of these orders are coming from trump's minions, but he is the president, and at the end of the day, he is directly responsible for what happens to these United States of America. Does he even know everything that is taking place or is he conveniently left out of every decision?

This has always been the Republican go-to strategy - kill the messenger and ignore the message. Double down on the lies. And ignore reality until it's too late. Then whine that it's the "other side" that's at fault. Unfortunately, it seems to have worked well enough with the "base" that they are still in power. We'll see in Nov. whether enough voters have woken up to the swindle.

I wonder if enlistments in the military have decreased.

I’ve been wishing someone would create an updated version of Orwell’s 1984 so the blatant parallels to today could be revealed. Especially that Ministry of Truth and memory hole stuff. Oh wait, they’ve already done that…
