And still, the Republican congress bumbles along in support. For all the horrors imposed by Trump domestically & internationally, never forget the enablers who could have blunted or even stopped it. Still could, but don't. The Republican senators who confirmed cabinet nominees that Prof Timothy Snyder referred to as a decapitation strike - looking prescient about now.

On point Jack..and it is the corporate influence through money and insider trading information that hold this sick congress in place. If it were not so profitable, and protected, the jobs may attract more folks that are there for the betterment of our society, stability in our trade agreements, and protection of our environment. Corporations are the ones supporting these greedy puppets in our congressional bodies..and until we remove the power and supposed "rights" they have, I am afraid we will watch this nation and our environment deteriorate.

The corruption is now so blatant that I hope November 2026 will begin a turnaround, but with the rampant gerrymandering and voter suppression it won't be easy.

The USA, under Trump and his hench men, is seen as a laughing stock (if it wasn't so scarey)

When I first read "Gianni Infantino" I thought it was a new name for Baby Trump

Mary Geddry, I just came across your newsletter last night - and joined right away. You write seriously - with better comedy than SNL. I’m being DEAD serious. I’m sending TWO gift subscriptions to 2 of my also-serious friends. Thank you SO much. Q: do you listen to FiveStack with two serious (& funny) Canadians - daily on Apple Podcasts. Zev Shavel & Dean Blundell. I’m passing gift subscriptions to them as well. Thank you for your EXCELLENT writing. /Dana Bennett

The NSS report has language in it that confirms the administration is pursuing and endorsing a Christian Theocracy. Next will be some sort of governmental policies that push out anyone who is not of the Judeo/Christian persuasion.

From the begin many acknowledged the brilliance of Mary’s ‘nail on the head’ reporting .

Trump’s pervasive tactic of programming, incessant disinformation , and alternate facts -the MAGA Base epitomizes -exists. They found their satisfactory savior savant. The gilded grifter.

Some will spill their guts ,plea bargaining for lesser sentences of their guilt, when the ruse is halted. Dominos fall one at a time. It’s too late for the two ‘shipwrecked’-the too many this lesson cost-the two hundred fifty y.o. country that will take years to recover from…

too tired

too sad

too

Oh, Mary, you've captured all the dark, sinister happenings in just a few paragraphs this morning and I'm riling up to resist and share your wise words and those of other's I trust with whomever I meet. Pull the curtain back and you see a sleeping fool with the ability to blow up the world with the hand that now welcomes the false needle of regeneration . I wish we could put tape over his mouth and call it a medical necessity too. So many fools chasing after him in our country and world and we can only hope they will all find their "Waterloo" moments soon.

If this were fiction it would be preposterous, quite unbelievable. instead it is reality that came about by buffaloing a large segment of the population into believing his dreams were also their dreams, not so, his dreams are passing fancies in a confused and dangerously positioned ailing fragment of a human, what are the next steps, he must be recalled before he endangers all of the world.
