Pathetic. Every name on there now needs a corresponding inmate number and will await their trials for treason.

Absolutely pathetic. Things said in that message should never even be thoughts in an American’s mind. This sort of evil will land us as totally alone in the world. It’s dangerous and ignorant.

Has anyone considered that this is all a diversion/distraction? I cannot believe that anyone is that dumb or careless. The arrogance of all of them is staggering but this is just way too convenient.

Actually becase i have known the Trump Trump’s for over 40 yeas i CAN believe these people ARE able to be both that ignorant AND that stupid! trump himself is truly that stupid and these are his buddies.

I was thinking the same thing. There are a bunch of pre-schoolers playing “house” in the WH

Thank you for making this point. So much of what the pro-democracy community is doing is REACTING to what Trump / Musk / MAGA does. We must become a PROACTIVE movement... advocate for what we can have not just say what must stop.

They’ve obviously been conversing on the app since they were approved to their cabinet positions… they’re all peerless children in vacuous idiocy! The glee and use of emoji’s provides proof of their ignorance, or defiance of NatSec!!

And why is the press quiet about one of these “players” was in Russia while this message was being sent? Was it sent to determine if Russia can hack our systems? Of course they can, anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand

Our leaders only respond, unfortunately. We need to make sure that they understand the importance of being proactive. He’s playing three dimensional chess and we’re playing Connect Four!

Every other thing is a distraction with them but this one is a doozy.

Expand full comment

Perhaps: President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that will require proof of U.S. citizenship on election forms. The move is in an aggressive push to catch and combat voter fraud, which is exceedingly rare but constantly cited by Trump as a reason he lost the 2020 election.

Expand full comment

Under cover of a "push to combat fraud", this ends up discouraging voter registration. People can't find/don't "have time" to order a/another copy of their birth certificates/will do it later, etc. (We need a system like the one in France, where you just go online and order a copy of your birth certificate from the national vital records office, free of charge, and it is mailed to you within days (or you can get an officialized PDF). You can do it from the public library or the mayor's office will help with it if you don't have a computer. Takes about 6 minutes to order.)

In states like Florida, where you can register when you get your driver's license, there isn't so much of a problem, but in states that may not offer that option, it is discouraging and a form of voter suppression. Do they not realize that it does not only affect those who might not vote conservative? Of course not, and they don't care anyway. It's all show and mirrors.

As to "voter identity" and showing proof thereof, why not just issue official voter cards when the person registers? Nobody asks for POI when you vote by mail.

Expand full comment

If it intended to be a distraction, it will be a costly one for Trump in more than one way. The one thing that seems to be flying under the radar that Trump and his crony cohort cabal are actively trying to suppress is well discussed in the following linked to newsletter:

_______________________________

You probably remember when Donald Trump first “joked” about annexing Canada.

You might recall the headlines when he said the U.S. should seize Greenland—or when he first floated renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”

But do you remember what Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report concluded that very same day?

That Trump had engaged in criminal efforts to overturn the 2020 election—and that the only reason he wasn’t facing trial was because he won the presidency again.

Most people don’t remember. And that’s not their fault.

They buried it because they knew just how dangerous the truth was.

But there’s another report—the one Trump is fighting even harder to suppress. The one you probably haven’t heard about yet.

Yes but unfortunately it is still believable

I wondered the same. It’s just too convenient. Yet, one does have to pause and think, but why? What are they trying to distract from 🤔

Is this normal statecraft to 'charge allies' the repeat to 'remunerate' just seems like ethical malpractice

No, they really are that dumb and careless.

Question from Danish person in Denmark (Europe, ally, highest number of dead soldiers per capita, while assisting USA, since alliance was formed after WW2, currently under threat by Russian asset in The White House along with his KKK-MAGA- soulless creeps):

Why is has no-one been arrested yet? I'm not joking. There are mountains of evidence and they grow exponentially on a daily basis.

Before the JAG was replaced, before all competent generals were replaced, before the orange stinker was "elected" everyone knew about project 2025. The military, the agencies knew this was going to happen. How is there not a section within law enforcement dealing with this? Why are they not being marched, in chains and orange suits, out of the White House?

Expand full comment

So agree with you as a fellow European this is a mega deal of a mistake, lives put at risk along with allied relationships in jeopardy! and what is happening oh it’s a glitch says the most ignorant leader of any major super power ever. This is seriously dangerous

Expand full comment

Hi, Signe - One of my many sore points, a hugely sore point, is why agent orange (aka, the so-called president of this country) wasn’t thrown in prison to await execution for treason after making that Georgia phone call begging the Secretary of State to find more votes for him in the 2020 election. I get so infuriated when I think about all the crimes he’s committed, yet, not only is he a free man, he sits in the White House🤬

Expand full comment

Hi Doreen,

I share your frustration! Corruption, mafia methods, KKK-MAGA infiltration, Russian assets. It’s so far out - no one would have believed a story line with all that. Too unrealistic and idiotic, but here we are.

We are all going to have to get involved and bring an end to these dictators.

Denmark has Putin in the east. He wants the Danish coastline if we don’t manage to get him

Out of Ukraine. We have Shitler in the west. He wants the Greenlandic minerals (he wants to destroy Greenland)

But we are not going to let them. We are going to make new friends, help each other and stick to it!

👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏼👏❤️❤️❤️

Hi, Signe - I was astounded when agent orange won the election in 2016. Hillary Clinton is vastly more intelligent than he is. (Misogyny?) If push comes to shove, you could say that people really didn’t know just how horrible agent orange would be. Then we have the 2020 election. No excuse this time for those who voted for him. He proceeded to display to the world what a pathological narcissist he is. The constant lies that the election was stolen, the stirring up of his cult followers, the actual insurrection. How in the world could people vote for him in 2024 after all that? (Misogyny??)

I worry very much about Ukraine. What the unenlightened people in Congress don’t seem to grasp is that Putin won’t stop with Ukraine. But then again, maybe they do grasp it🤬

I am an eternal pessimist🥴 I’m frightened that we won’t have any more elections in this country, at least ones that are not fraudulent. Which means I don’t know how we can ‘relieve’ agent orange of his duties. (I can just imagine him and Putin sitting together at a table, chuckling while they go over their plans to conquer the world🤔) I sincerely hope that there are leaders who can come up with a plan to stop these dictators.

He, Doreen,

I have hope and am determined to get rid of all the oppressors. I wrote a now post today. It's meant to encourage us all to chose to stand up and fight back however we can.

I don't sleep much these days so I don't remember if I wrote website addresses to you before, otherwise here they are: indivisible.org, generalstrikeus.com, fiftyfifty.one

Neither surrender nor despair are options. We must rise - or become slaves. To me it's a no-brainer. Love and courage from Denmark!

I am doing what I can. I have been going to protests, most of which are organized by 50501. I just signed up for a Defend Social Security rally sponsored by Indivisible Twin Cities. There is a big rally across the country on April 5th. I hope tens of thousands show up. Thanks for telling me about generalstrikeus.com; just signed the strike card. I have emailed and called my senators but I need to be much more persistent🥴 We have a giant a*hole of an administration as you well know. We are fighting for our democracy. What are your main concerns in Denmark? Putin?

Thanks so much for your support 🤓

Sure, there is probably something else happening we should be watching for but as to whether they were dumb or careless, I would say neither. It's hubris, plain and simple. They have spent their lives getting what they want when they want it, and now that their fuhrer is in office, they really think they are untouchable. They are a bunch of clueless frat bros playing at running a country. Shit like this is what gets people killed.

What a disgrace! These left forums are not for you Europeans to come and vomit out your hatred and disappointment. This is a forum that is being used to help Americans. It should not be used to harm. First of all let me tell you that I spent a lot of time in Europe. I know for a fact that White Europeans are spewing out the very same ideas of hatred and xenophobia as the MAGA. In France, for example, no is allowed speak honestly about the atrocities committed during the colonial period. Europeans have done and will do far worse than what we are currently seeing committed in America. So get off your high horse pretending that you are better than the MAGA people. All across Europe, nations are producing extreme right factions that are expounding the same dangerous ideas. Europe is very close to permitting those extreme right wing factions to dominate all over Europe. How dare you come on these forums to spit on us Americans when you are doing far worse in Europe. Nor are you doing anything to stop it. Nor are you doing anything to protect the people of color in your countries. The fact that you speak English does not give you to right to come on these American forms and stab us in the back with your vicious anti-American discourse. Many Americans will be fooled by you. But I am not.I have spent a lot of time in Europe. I have witnessed with my own eyes how much Europeans truly hate America.

America is not a toilet bowl. We are in trouble. With courage and hope we can get out of this. We need helpers right now, not people who are going to attack and spit on us. Try to keep it together and not become hysterical. Or maybe you're an European?

So what if I was European? The US has slid so far back due to all the damage he’s done to the American public and the countries that supported them on 9-11 it’s a disgrace. I’m glad France asked for the Statue of Liberty back. It’s no longer deserved. No one in the world Americans included can doubt that. Americans did this with their votes let’s hope he doesn’t take that away from them before they can fix it.

I was brought up to believe that Americans were in fact are our cousins I don’t think any different now in my 70s. I have a US daughter in law and granddaughter and a son with dual citizenship they are distraught with worry and would be the first to call it what it is. The damage, the sheer scale of regression and the deepening bond between the US government and Russia, while deepening the rift between Europe and US is certainly making it look like a stain that will not be easy to eradicate.

This group of people on this chat truly are incompetent. However, I have thought about the fact that we should look both ways before crossing the street right? It's all about distraction and watch for what the Trump administration will do in the next coming days withexecutive orders, and distraction. But at the end of the day, all of these people are not qualified to be in their roles. So yes, I am a true believer that they are that dumb.
