Trump is apparently giving some speech, and the word-slaw is as expected.. only way WAY worse.

I will not quote him. I could barely stand to read the reporting. I couldn't watch the vids.

He's exponentially worse today than he was yesterday, and tomorrow will be even worse than today.

It's horrifying.

People, you know what to do.

Vote. Educate others. Volunteer. Donate. Everything you can think of, whatever you CAN do... do it.

2/ Moment of Lament:

It's so excruciating to watch a huge segment of our population glorify, adulate, worship, trust, accept as legit, admire such a genuinely bad, EVIL, hateful, malignant excuse for a human being (& his thugs).

And it's beyond frustrating, alarming that a deranged, perverse menace like him is this difficult to stop. It's madness.

And sometimes, it feels so overwhelming, doesn't it?

Talk about a challenge.

We better be up to it, folks.

Lament over.

3/ Thank you for listening, you guys. Thanks for the feedback.

Time to unwind now.❤️

@GottaLaff I recommend some BC bud and a nice Merlot.
@GottaLaff I hope you were able to relax this evening(or yestrdy). It’s frustrating that so many still minimize Trump even as he pulls the far right’s strings in Congress. It doesn’t matter one iota what his diagnosis is or what he’s charged w- they’ll support him. The fact is voter suppression & rigged elections in some states is still an ever present danger. Even if Trump dies tmorro- someone will step in to fill the void. We’re on a dangerous precipice right now. We need to fight like hell.
@GottaLaff ran out of characters before I said thank you for taking the threat to democracy seriously! For being here and reminding us here how much danger we are in. Take care of yourself!

@Danetteb I agree with all of that, and also… thank you so much.

I keep trying to take care of myself, but the anxiety… oy.

@Danetteb @GottaLaff Trump could die tomorrow but honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if a dead Trump still won the Republican nomination 🤦‍♂️

@GottaLaff

...and most of them are 'devoted' followers of Jesus Christ

@solownh Which is total BS, of course.

@GottaLaff

Putting the fascism into christo-fascism

@GottaLaff

Thanks for sharing this because yes it does feel overwhelming. But it helps to know I am not alone. It helps me hang in there and just keep doing what I can to counter the insanity.

@KayseeColorado It does help so much to be surrounded by like minds about this.

It's so tough to go through.

@GottaLaff we definitely need to raise things up a notch. We can’t keep going like this.

@GottaLaff

With fascists, it always comes to blood. It took a world war to finish Hitler. Let's hope that the bloodshed of January 6th signals the ebbtide this time.

@GottaLaff , it feels very overwhelming at times. I think we can do it and I hope we will.
@Dr_Elizabeth97 I'm with you Elizabeth.
@GottaLaff , I was terrified the who summer before the Clinton/Trump election. I distracted myself by canning jam and other produce. I gave tons of it away. I still had a bunch earlier THIS YEAR and dumped it. For the last election, I textbanked 10-15 hours a week for the 6 months up to the election. That was a way better way to spend my time.
@GottaLaff yeah, but..
"More than 1,100 people have been charged with federal crimes in the Jan. 6 riot. More than 650 have been sentenced, with approximately two-thirds receiving time behind bars, according to an Associated Press review of court records." https://apnews.com/article/capitol-riot-jan-6-missing-proud-boy-arrested-4cd45a69d03d35e4d3839dc23913cf08
Proud Boys member who disappeared ahead of his sentencing in the Jan. 6 attack has been arrested

A member of the Proud Boys extremist group who disappeared days before he was supposed to be sentenced for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot has been arrested, the FBI said Friday. Christopher Worrell, of Naples, Florida, was on house arrest when he went missing last month ahead of his sentencing in Washington, where prosecutors were seeking 14 years behind bars on convictions for assault, obstruction of Congress and other offenses. Andrea Aprea, a spokesperson for the FBI office in Tampa, confirmed Worrell’s arrest, but said she had no further details. Worrell’s attorney, William Shipley, didn’t immediately return a phone message on Friday.

@spocko The elections are what alarm me, not the legal outcome.
@GottaLaff

He's difficult to stop because he's got so many opportunistic-enablers and collaborators.
@GottaLaff A huge, yet still minor segment. We're still only looking at the same 27% or so crazification section that's been around for decades, if not more. They're just louder, and unfortunately, in some positions of power and influence. But the sane are the vast majority. Always remember that.

@GottaLaff

Your feelings are legitimate.

The richest people in the planet are funding attacks on democracy around the globe.

Trump has the backing of Putin, Mohammed bin Salman, Musk, Larry Ellison, Griffin, Schwarzman, Yass, Uihlein, Fertitta, Singer, Ron Baron, and #KochNetwork & OPEC.

@Npars01 @GottaLaff

....and the ever evil Peter Thiel.

@EvilBunnyPottymouth @Npars01 @GottaLaff what is going on with their hands in that picture??

@PieIsGood @EvilBunnyPottymouth @GottaLaff

Tiny-handed men overcompensating for their ...ahem...shortcomings by funding fascist movements?

@Npars01 Lol, I use that "shortcomings" line all the time, for years now. It's my fave. @PieIsGood @EvilBunnyPottymouth
@PieIsGood measuring to see whose is smaller
@GottaLaff …a lament felt by so, so many of us….thanks for putting it out there….
@havvyhh2 Thank you for reading it.
@GottaLaff just how I’m feeling about this horror now. It’s devastating.
@fondoffawns It is. It’s beyond what I could have imagined.

@GottaLaff yet name calling is part of this person's playbook... and when even those who are opposed to this person resort to such methods, then this person wins, because their culture becomes the norm, and that's the whole point of gaining power...

fighting evil with evil never works because when choosing that way evil always wins in the end... it merely changes sides...

the way up is not targeting the persons but the wrongdoings... then we elevate collectively and outgrow the situation...
