I'd like to hear someone, or many, on the Sunday talk shows say,
"This language from Trump is ugly. His whole campaign of hate is ugly. Let's be blunt about where Trump is now. When he disparaged Liz Cheney he was expressing his hurt feelings. Look past the lies. Her balls are much bigger than his! His claim that she's a coward is so off the mark. She's been courageous to stand up to his threats. And his MAGA supporters' death threats. She is telling the truth: Trump violated his oath of office. Therefore he cannot be allowed back in the job of President. This is so clear. And Trump is so ugly. There's nothing cute or charming about this act now. Let's all start telling this truth."
Like they say to us when we fly. Put the oxygen mask on first by voting for Harris / Walz. Then save what is most precious to us. Everything Heather spoke about. Thanks Heather.
Trump, Vance, and Musk know they can got away with anything by being brazen enough - incitement to violence, standing up for outrages such as "the enemy from within," buying votes with cash prizes - knowing that Garland, out of timidity, caution, deliberation and aversion to criticism won't lift a finger or say a word to stop them.
Hi, new subscriber here. I been reading Letters for a long time. Since I unsubscribed The Washington Post recently (after more than 3 decades of home delivery), I thought I'd better start some new subscriptions.
I did the same thing. Undo the Washington Post and upgrade with Heather. With my paid subscription, though, I am not getting the "usual" email from Heather in my inbox...just the link to the audio and transcript. For a few reasons, I prefer reading. Will try to redo my subscription.
Excellent comment string as usual. A former graduate student colleague and roommate from 1971 tracked me down about 2 years ago and shared this series of letters and podcasts with me. In our frequent exchange of emails, we have learned that we share the same political views and beliefs. He lives in Ohio and I live in Montgomery AL, which is decidedly red, but we attended the doctoral program in Clinical Psychology at the University of Texas. This series is done by a brilliant woman, who has taught me history along with her letters and podcasts about the politics of this election. I am afraid that the people who need to read/listen to what she and supporting comments have to say are not being reached. Information bias and the lack of critical thinking is far too common in this country.
After this election “You will never have to vote again; we are going to fix that” Trump bragged in his speech to the Believers Conference. There is only one candidate that says that as part of their campaign. Trump has weaseled himself into position for a takeover and he has the support of his MAGA followers. Yes, they believe anything he tells them. Do you know there are right wing religious groups that believe Trump is sent by God. Even though he is always using the lords name in vain and now selling autographed Bibles to raise money. Lord help us.
One such church ponders the question; is Taylor Swift solely responsible for the decline in birth rate, The church of JD Vance; White Christian Nationalist. changed from independent to a party to vote for him the first time he ran because I thought he would be an outsider. While he was in office I thought and heard from many others that he would not be so bad if he would just shut his mouth; which is just a very poor excuse for his childish ignorance. As his term dragged on it became apparent that he was all talk and only committed to his own demented trip. America is great and his rhetorical blaspheme is solely meant to create fear, hatred, suspicion, mistrust of the government and your neighbors. Will that make America great? Will that bring Peace, Love, and Happiness? Security? A better world for our children? Absolutely not.
I remember he cut the funding for the health department when covid was starting to appear around the world and he would not stop letting people from infected countries; China for example, because he did not want compromise relations and he did not believe covid was a big problem. Remember he said that it would just go away, we could just inject bleach. Then when Covid was a big problem, he blamed Dr. Fauci.
He wants to be your retribution but, how much retribution does this silver spoon baby deserve. Did he think that he was going to get into politics and everyone would just love him for his nasty talk and condemnation of those that do not cheer for him.
I do not dislike rich people; I have known many nice common-sense people from many income brackets. It is the ones that never have enough, complain, complain, complain, know better than anyone else, blame others for their own short falls and problems, point out everyone else’s faults just wine and pick. Pick, pick, pick, no solutions no plan just blame and pick and then brag; I’ve known those too. I heard a lady at one of his rallies say she admired him because he picked himself up by his boot straps and made something of himself. That is total BS, his dad was rich and gave him money. After that he worked the system and coned the rest. I heard a man say that Trump took a bullet for us. No, he took a bullet because of his big mouth. Now he says he will protect the women. Whether they like it or not, what does that mean? He is no Paladin ask most anyone that worked with him in Washington.
Kamala is no gem, why can’t the major parties come up with better candidates? I could answer that but it would take another writing for sure.
She for sure could use some better coaching but, she is definitely the lesser evil. She is not talking about using the military or Justice Department to vanquish her opposition in the US government and citizens. Or punishing women for getting pregnant.
I am pro-life and I do not know anyone that is pro death. These evils are a serious problem that cannot be stoped by governance. There is a better way, governance is what makes people crazy and we have plenty of that. Kamala’ wacky ideas may have passed in California but they will not make it far in US Congress. She can be kept under control.
I could go on and on about the guy who admires dictators especially Hitler and his generals.
Kim Jung Un who rules with an Iron Fist or is that President She of China, Hungarian authoritarian Victor Orba’n; Donald loves them all. And don’t forget Vladamir Putin who is just waiting for Trump to give him Ukraine. Then Trump can have his tower in Moscow and he won’t have to live in the US; the garbage nation that has done him so badly. If you don’t like Bidenomics. You won’t like Putinomics.
Donald J is not a patriot; patriots don’t incite riots or pit citizen against citizen. They don’t advise
Young men to grab women by the whoha. They don’t obsess about vengeance or dictators. Let alone the idea that he has some connection with God. He lives in a fantasy where he writes the story and the rules as he strokes his ego with the greatest of ease.
How many votes does he have to lose by before he will concede. Or heaven forbid he wins how long before he goes totally egomaniacal and starts shooting missiles at Georgia or Detroit, Boston, Pittsburg, who knows? You know he is immune to any prosecution according to his Supreme Court. Fox News and all his followers make excuses for him. They are in denial just like he is with narcissistic reinforcement. There is a plethora of problems in the Us and the world Today the most important is stopping Trumps vengeance on democracy.

I wonder if Garland will finally do something about his dangerous rhetoric.
I really doubt he will.
He's a really late sleeper if he wakes up now
In my view Trump is The Great Amerikkkan Nightmare.

What do you think Garland can do? One of the founding principles of our democracy is freedom of speech.

Way to go Dedham, MA! We are proud you are producing for Dr. Richardson. Great work.
Needed to fix Dedham! Sorry, a one finger texter!
