I don’t even know if this is appropriate— but I feel like we r all at the edge of a cliff who cares if I sound inappropriate— but I think of Biden (whom I’ve avoided criticizing up til now, it just seemed pointless and cruel), saying privately that Trump is a “sick fuck”— and then at the Inauguration Biden — despite every evidence of impending doom, Biden is right there by Trump smiling, patting him on the back, in general Jill and he acting like Melania and Trump were normal next inhabitants of the Peoples House. At the time, seeing that , I was crying. I thought, Biden should be crying. Everyone said, no he’s got to do that. But if he really had wanted to “save the soul of America” and at that moment, he was handing America over to the Devil—why the hell was he smiling? That’s not just a rhetorical question. I’m trying to illuminate the deep crack of disconnect.
The good thing as I see it is that we will be forced to examine what all these words we’ve been tossing around mean.
One thing that is striking me now in this horror— what we as a country have come to lack—and maybe it’s that you, Jim, seem to have so much of it. Heart. Not just intellect. Not just cleverness. Not just fucking spreadsheets and algorithms that figure out new ways to sell patriotic “merch”—But a passionate caring about what those symbols mean. Too much talk. Not enough heart.
It is breathtaking to be reminded: how powerfully our psyches rule. Because they do. We all have fears and dreams that dominate the stories we tell ourselves. But we tend not to act them out completely or even at all because we’re tied to the greater good in some way- or we’ve introspected and grown and evolved- or we’d just be too ashamed—
But Trump has none of those things.
He. Really. Tore. Down. The. East. Wing. I think we’re all doing double takes and rethinks a mile a minute inside our heads.
Actually Jim, this turning the oval office into the offal office, planting two phallic symbols in front of and behind the White House and this horror with the East Wing is Trump telling America that he will only leave Mar a Lago north on a gurney, and considering the resources of the government, and the fact that Dick Cheney doesn't have a heart but a pump powered by the bodies electricity, Trump will be around for a long, long time.
And the 22nd Amendment is as null and void with him sitting in control of all branches of government. Congress is cowed, the judiciary is in his hip pocket at SCOTUS, he has total control of the police power of the state (DOJ and DOD), the media is cowed, the universities are cowed, the legal profession is cowed.

Who is left, who has the guts to go up against Trump?
Elections, his cronies have just bought Dominion Voting machines, with connection to Ed Martin,, voter caging, election suppression laws, redistricting, MAGA election commissions, armed poll watchers, not to mention a media all too glad to take on the enemies of the right, like that dude in Maine, and to give Trump and the Republicans millions of dollars free air time.
Yep the tearing down of the east wing is a semiotic, that Trump is not going anywhere.
If there were a Democratic wave in 2026 and 2028, then virtually every member of Trump's cabinet and Trump himself would be jail bait, but the high unholy six on SCOTUS won't allow that neither will Trump and his handlers,, and our only option is a national uprising, starting with a general strike, maybe a global uprising and the Arabic word for uprising is intifada.
Sad times when the Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is being attacked by the corporate wing of his own party. He is a very likable no-nonsense Progressive.
Platner is a progressive, and if there is anything that the DNC hates more than Republicans it is progressives. They have also lined up behind Cuomo against Mamdani
They are making a big deal about Platners chest tattoo saying it looks like the deaths head of the SS, and that is bullshit. I googled Platners tattoo in images and it doesn't look anything like the SS Totenkampf
I'm disgusted with the DNC. until Trump came downthe escalator, I hadn't voted since 1968, I felt and still do that the Democratic and Republican parties were two sides of the same coin.
And the way they treated Bernie in 2016 by putting their thumb on the scale for Hillary, and the way they treat AOC, and any progressive. is enough. I register Democrat but am not a Democrat, I am a progressive
Unfortunately I find myself voting aginst, not for. My 2016 Vote would have been for Bernie, alas I had to vote against Trump
100% It's painful to watch, I can't wait until the corporate Dems are run out of town, they are pathetic, but they are the lesser of two evils when it comes to the fascists. :)
Correct. I am fed up with having to vote for incompetent, inept, cowardly, corrupt because they aren't hard core fascists.
There are fascists and then there are enablers, and if you aren't up front, aggressive in the face of fascisim, you are an enabler.
Bullies always win,unless you stand up to them, and so far the democrats haven't been standing up to the fascists. They might piss off the donors, and not get reelected.
That is my hope, but my fear is that, with all of the new laws, (like voter ID), voter caging, redistricting, armed poll watchers and MAGA election commissions, as well as MAGA buying Dominion voting machines, that the election will be stolen. There is evidence that it was stolen in 2024,or so I've heard.
Obscene doesn’t even begin to describe Trump’s destruction of the East Wing, not to mention his taste. Let’s salute the tacky, evil, deranged wannabe dictator by peacefully resisting and protesting until this corrupt abomination of an administration bites the dust and is held accountable.
This is gross to say but, unfortunately, true: not only does He have to piss on everything more valuable than money (good health, a sense of security in one's own country, healthy relationships with loved ones, etc.) he has to s**t on it, too. He desecrates the sacred. His God is gold. He is jealous of the wealth of Mr. Bone Saw. He has to have even more gold in his White House than they do in their palaces. He personifies the ignorant or idiotic fool. Once he had the inherited wealth of his father but he flushed it down the toilet in Atlantic City trying to prove he could be three times more successful than his father. He proved to himself that he is a failure. The self hatred he has toward himself is split off and projected onto others. For him to be grand, others must remain small. This is the crux of the ordinary racist, sexist, anti-humanist. May all bow down to the out-sized ego of a small man. Or what was Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Orban and so many more? Our task is to recognize the force of ego and it's destructive power in society and deconstruct it and to replace it with the constructive power of compassion and cooperation. MLK, Jr. and JFK brought this message forward in the 60s. We owe it to them to remember their words and amplify their political and spiritual wisdom in the present and in the future. Documentary "Eyes on the Prize" shows Civil Rights Movement under King was not reactionary. He was articulating and elucidating a spiritual framework for a civil society. There were specific goals and objectives for the movement. Reactions and sign-making are not enough. Waiting for crowd sizes to grow is simply an admission of a failure of political imagination and an inability to outline a new vision. The Constitution, though antiquated and in need of modern revision, still provides a framework for unity. If we are to rally around something, could it not be this? Dr. Paul Zeitz: Hit refresh on the US Constitution (book).
Horrifying as it is, I am hoping the visuals of the White House being destroyed will piss off more people against this madman. Of course, this is why they don't want pictures. So somebody should set up a 24-hour watch cam. I had not thought of it in the way you had, that he was trying to erase women and the public. That's fascinating and probably spot on. I have assumed he wants a better bunker. All the dictators have cool bunkers! He complained first term how inadequate it was when he pretended he hadn't really gone down there in an emergency. He knows the kaboomers will soon fall, and he wants to watch the world burn in luxury.
An interesting essay once again Jim. I found out earlier today what the East wing was for and I immediately jumped to the conclusion of why he wanted it destroyed, not just extended. What an absolutely pathetic little dick donnie is! Also knowing Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker I hope little dicks ability to "project" as per usual is right on too lol. Yeah it's mean, so bite me!
And they'll need one sooner or later between us coming with pitchforks or a global warming enhanced Category 5 hurricane bearing down on Washington DC!
IT looks like the Grand Ballroom over in St. Petersburg, Russia 😩 What say you, Jack?!! Thank you for another great article today, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍

Keep the primaries coming, keep knocking them down, even if it is incremental. Unfortunately, it takes time.
That is my hope, but my fear is that, with all of the new laws, (like voter ID), voter caging, redistricting, armed poll watchers and MAGA election commissions, as well as MAGA buying Dominion voting machines, that the election will be stolen.

tRump is like the evil Mike Myers character "Gold Member" in the 3rd Austin Powers movie.
Spot-fucking-on, Jim!

Your post captures it all so well! It'd make a great pamphlet and article on its own!

What an absolutely pathetic little dick donnie is! Also knowing Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker I hope little dicks ability to "project" as per usual is right on too lol. Yeah it's mean, so bite me!
And it was also started by Teddie Roosevelt and completed under FDR, who the fascists especially hate.
How much of this is all about covertly performing massive tech bro style bunker upgrades? Those tech bros seem to love their doomsday bunker projects.
And they'll need one sooner or later between us coming with pitchforks or a global warming enhanced Category 5 hurricane bearing down on Washington DC!
Excellent article Jim. Spot-on!
IT looks like the Grand Ballroom over in St. Petersburg, Russia 😩 What say you, Jack?!! Thank you for another great article today, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Oops, I meant Jim 🤣👈🙏
