It's just fine for trump and company to censor words, but jd scolded the German government for censoring nazi speech by the afd. The hypocrisy is astounding, but the main stream media is not calling it out.

Tall order, Mr. Hightower. I WANT to be that proactive, that courageous. I don't actually know whether I will see it through. Which tells me I need to express my appreciation for YOUR willingness to stand up to this unholy mob. Weak tea, I know. But maybe I'll get there one step at a time, with the encouragement being offered by you and others.

It is hard to fathom the level of trump's overt racism and misogyny, with his all-out attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion...but when you factor his lifelong sociopathy into the equation, it's par for the donald trump golf course.

Please read "Navalny: A Memoir." it is inspiring, uplifting, encouraging, and often very funny. Navalny was a man willing to give his life for a country he loved. We must at least be willing to risk online censure for standing up for the truth.

Thank you, Jim. Humpty and Elon the Red-Nosed Muskrat are saying what the base wants to hear. We, who are not part of that small, elite (guffaw!) club, can only hope that enough people will wake up before it's too late. It may help to remember that Adolf Hitler created a Propaganda Ministry to spread his lies. (Trumpty, of course, has Fox, Newsmax, X, and so on...) Hitler's reign of terror lasted 12 years and ended in disaster. Humpty Trumpty, your time is almost up.

The thing to remember is that golf courses often have nice clear site lines.

Didn't Hitler take over Germany in only 53 days after he was released from prison?

Expand full comment

Not quite. He spent about 9 months in prison in 1923 (after a failed coup). He actually took over in 1933, after building his Nazi party. It all ended in 1945.

Its after day one and I am trying to figure out what trump meant when he said he would eliminate tax on tips day one. Nothing he has said has any grip on reality so I assume when he said he wouldn't touch social security or Medicare he meant that elon and his teenage muskant numbja techies would be who touches them

The Musk Rat Team are probably working on getting RID of Medicare, Medicaid as we write this !!

Everything that we all love dearly " like Freedom " in this United States will be wiped out by this Trump/ Musk Regime in the course of taking all of Our Money !!

Getting rid of words may help the people Trump has surrounded himself with. They are probably from Red States with poor schools and read below a Fifth Grade level.

It's too hard to stop to comment when I can't stop screaming, hoping it gets into and through the TV, no matter how close I get to the screen. If the Musk could be set aside, we could enjoy the word salad of our fearless leader, and egg him on to an even greater blabbering, blubbering, wordmash blowout. How delicious! Psychcopathy, sociocopathy, childishnesscopathy, selfishnesscopathy. Therein lies the vibrant danger of this teenage narcisistcopathy. (He doesn't make sense either, and he constantly reveals he has no heart, no empathy, but he's using the power given to him to make us crazy - and it's working. Let's act before we lose our minds, too.) En Garde!

Half the population of Canada, who speaks French, would totally agree with you.

Oui, en garde!

Surely you meant to write "Redwhiteandblueland" instead of Greenland?! Or maybe just "Trumpland"? And every true patriot knows that there is no such language as "Danish". That is just something you have with your coffee - right???

Expand full comment

So true. But maybe it'll be fun to learn to speak Inuit or Greenlander, soon to be called, as you imply, redwhiteandbluelandish. Oh, the dreams of this unwell man.

Merci a toi! I do not speak French -but I am willing to learn when we move north to Quebec, a province in our 52nd state. Maybe Danish when we move north to Greenland, across the American Ocean to our 53rd state. It's real: a madman is at the helm. For now.

The efforts of Trumpty Dumpty's minions to purge certain words from our language is doubleplusungood. But look at the bright side! With the NSA forbidden to use the words "bias" and "injustice" in any of their reports, we can write to our heart's content about bias and injustice without fear! Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.

So many of the books and movies have social themes depicting a future vision of the human culture and where society may be headed to. Whether it is taken as a warning or as a game plan is what determines the effect on our lives presently. The present moment is really all that we have, the future is always imagined and the past is a memory.

Vance doesn't seem to understand why he is even on the ticket. It's because he deters those who would shoot Trump. Vance is almost as big an idiot as Trump is.

You will only use words we tell you to use, you will only use words we tell you to use, you will only use words we tell you to use, you will only use words we tell you to use.............(the brainwashing will continue). And remember Elon and I and our billionaires buddies need another massive Tax Cut....tax cut for me, tax cut for me, tax cut for me, tax cut for me, tax cut for me,.......you have been programed.........

They're coming for our guns! No, not the democrats. First our books and words, next (already in progress) the press, and not far down the road will be our arms. Think about the world leaders Trump most admires. How many guns are in the peoples hands in those countries?
