The Republicans do not believe that they are the only legitimate party; they believe in domination as the source of legitimacy. Your listing of Republicans trying to spin Gaetz's crimes
as non issues because he had resigned from the Congress speaks volumes about the moral depravity of this bunch. There is nothing that is beneath people for whom power and domination are the means and ends of politics.
With creds like these, Gaetz should be a shoo-in for the repuglican Presidential nomination in 2028. Troubling times in The Land of the Free. No time to be neutral.....
Many years ago, the conditions for a military coup in the USA were being discussed. Then it was the military blocking the left. Might the reverse happen🤔
Ah, Republicans hiding things AGAIN. Remember when Trump nominated Handmaid Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court? "Handmaid" is a title which Barrett's male religious overseers assign to all female member of her People of Praise religious group. When the US public first became aware of Barrett's upcoming ascension to our Supreme Court, the People of Praise wisely took down their website to keep the public from understanding their "spiritual mission" -- which is the total subservience of females, regardless of education or abilities. Yes, Handmaid Amy is a lawyer who ascended to our Supreme Court, but she had better obey her People of Praise masters because she is no better than the other handmaids who do the cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing in her household. She calls herself an "essentialist," as if to the US Constitution. Wrong. She is essentially a handmaid. As such, she is another one of Trump's little dirty jokes on the US public
Like a rock star at a pro wrestling match, El Trump entertains his court.
He has discovered how to beat the Harlem Globe Trotters.(Have the Washington Generals ever beaten the Globe Trotters?) They are simply too good at what they do yet El Trump has figured it out. Your players start shooting at the Globe Trotters basket every time they get the ball! It'll drive them nuts, right? So pile on some more impossible cabinet and staffing picks. Then you'll own the Libs,... or beat the Globe Trotters, whatever. Ain't no way to run a country, just sayin'.
I like that, El Trumpo has the ring of a true Mexican pro wrestler and yet the raconteur himself has no such consistency. The El Trump show is a clown circus with potentially deadly consequences; bring up the gallows laughter.
His entourage has no discernible skill or aptitude for their proposed roles. And it seems no intersession is coming to rescue us. Do we escape, stand firm, join MAGA,...? Maybe laugh ourselves to death?
I would really like to get a readable version of Letters from an American without having to open the Substack app on my iPhone. I don't do a lot of reading on that tiny screen. I would really like to see a PDF rendering of Letters from an American that I could then save to my Kindle Library.
I have a paid account and enjoy a full version of her letters every morning that are sent to my email and then later in the day there is a version of the same letter in audio form.
I use an RSS feed on an Android e-Reader. Works great! Many ways to do this. I use Focus Reader.
Best,
Tim
Edit==> Having next day afterthoughts on this post. The e-Reader/App solution I suggest is not what you are asking for. Let me reconsider my many-ways response and think harder. Sorry to distract.
We all read differently. Substack offers some ways but I don't have an ideal answer and didn't think about your situation clearly.
Gaetz is only the tip of the iceberg in this corrupt kleptocracy. Rumpilian is a sputine wannabe, pretend hard man who wants to invade countries for his oligarch pals financial interests! He’s completely delusional & dangerous!
Putin is manipulating the Orange Sleazebag's puppet strings. He got Crimea. Now, he wants Ukraine, with other countries to follow. The Orange Sleazebag wants to do the same...just because he thinks he can. He has not a clue on foreign policy, and thank goodness heads of states are far smarter than he is. If he likes being the laughingstock of the world, he has succeeded quite well.
Ukraine is said to have around $26 Trillion in reserves of critical or strategic minerals such as aluminum, iron, titanium, graphite, rare earths as well as considerable coal, oil and gas. This is why Putin will never give up trying to take that big golden goose! Trump will immediately face the acid test: who does he serve, the American people, or Putin? We will know soon. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that El Trumpo might want that treasure trove for his own regime?
Dear Prof. Cox Richardson,
The Republicans do not believe that they are the only legitimate party; they believe in domination as the source of legitimacy. Your listing of Republicans trying to spin Gaetz's crimes
as non issues because he had resigned from the Congress speaks volumes about the moral depravity of this bunch. There is nothing that is beneath people for whom power and domination are the means and ends of politics.
I suggest that there is more honor among thieves than there are among Trumplicans in Congress.
I suggest we block all nominations until fully vetted. Then vote on them. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/brought-to-light-salaciously?r=3m1bs

My thoughts exactly, republican presidential material.

One possible edit:
El Trump to “El Trumpo”
I like that, El Trumpo has the ring of a true Mexican pro wrestler and yet the raconteur himself has no such consistency. The El Trump show is a clown circus with potentially deadly consequences; bring up the gallows laughter.

Or do we defy all odds and rise above the melee?

Jim, I don’t know how many people agree with you, but I suspect that it’s a lot more than you and me. Ted Lucas

Geez. $400 for sex with a teenager sounds very reasonable.
Unfortunately, republicans' want to tax tips.....
just the tip
So desperate that you have to pay for it?
Have you seen a recent photo of the guy? All will become clear.
Reminds me of Jack Nicholson in the Shining
Providing it's a fully protected secret play period. Turns out it wasn't. Does Gaetz get his $400 back now?
I only recently found out that Greenland is considered part of North America but its connection to Denmark really makes it more European.
and Canada is a state.
Please send an ambulance
to the castle. Self proclaimed king,
patient, is delusional and needs to be in a locked ward.
Trump really does believe Trudeau is governor. Lol
Gaetz is only the tip of the iceberg in this corrupt kleptocracy. Rumpilian is a sputine wannabe, pretend hard man who wants to invade countries for his oligarch pals financial interests! He’s completely delusional & dangerous!
I wonder if he would've ever been booted out if it had been a girl in the video?
Why bother. He’s another pathological liar.
Wow
The idiocracy of Trumps admin is absolutely astounding!
