American is not the same, we cannot go back we must move forward. The removal of a convicted felon president and his criminal cabinet from our government is where we start and is now a priority. A president threatening war crimes after starting a war without reason is over the top megalomania mental illness.
Agreed that we cannot go back. Nor should we. We need to build a future that is better than where we have been, with stronger measures in place to prevent this from happening again. But to do that, we need to take the control away from maga. @HCR- please say a lot more about how we do that!!!
I love the optimism you ended this chat with. And I love that you called this a point of no return. Can you please say more about how we take our country back now?
"[I] for one, am done with the Donald Trump show. I am all about this becoming the show for the American people, for the rest of my lifetime, and I'm proud and pleased to be doing it alongside you all. And by God, it's time to build that movement and stop the madness and take this country back."
Amen to that! Someone asked me why I always send HCR letters and talks that you give. I said you are one of the few that I trust completely. To me, that is the most valuable gift you give to us.
⭐️Aaron Parnus just reported live- a retired general just went on MS Now & shared his unnamed sources said war crimes to target/kill Iranian civilians ordered by Hegseth were rejected! Which makes the “2 week ceasefire” moot/a lie!
It feels like Trump is acting out against the US as a whole because we prosecuted him (somewhat successfully) and dragged his “name” through the courts. (Not imho as much as we should have…) but his entire 2nd term feels like revenge against the American people.
It’s also important to not waver, Trump will not change, and we reject his further destruction of our country. We will not accept concentration camps for our population as normal and his threats of the destruction of civilization demonstrate that Trump is now a power obsessed megalomaniac.
Turns out today was TACO Tuesday rather than Dr. Strangelove Tuesday. But that doesn't mean Hair Metamucilini isn't as LOCO as a cuckoo every other day, Tuesdays included.
And according to the AP, under the two-week ceasefire plan, Iran and Oman will still charge fees to ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz. A reminder that in return for terrifying and nauseating the planet with his threatened war crime threats, our Ayatollah Asahollah (shout-out to Substacker Leslie for that one) is one piss-poor negotiator indeed.
I am sorry to say neither the public, reporters or politicians have ever really understood what his mental illness actually means. “Malignant Narcissist” as a personality is tossed around but it’s never been understood. It means he is not capable of representing you.
And that he is absolutely incapable of empathy. That he cares for others only to the extent that they serve him and make him look and feel good. That he will turn on a dime and go from holding someone on a pedestal to wanting to totally obliterate them. That he will fabricate false realities that uphold his need to see himself positively, and then he will believe that those false realities are true. That he will do everything necessary to uphold his vision of himself, no matter the cost. That everyone and everything around him is simply an article for consumption.

Thank you for this chat. Be KIND to yourself, we will need your help tomorrow!

Hope this is accurate. But . . . .

Very good point!

Listening to this has been what saved my day from a dark depression. Thank you for your Frank honesty. Here we go!
