Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

This should have been the case long before they killed two Americans. Border patrol agents should never have been sent in masks and camo to wreak havoc and aimlessly run around a state 1,500 miles from the Southern border. apnews.com/article/immi...

McCONNELL said Trump's Truth Social post was essentially an admission of his "intent to defy the court order when he said 'SNAP payments will be given only when the government opens.' As a result "people will go hungry, food pantries will be burdened and … suffering will occur."

No. Neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainian People can end russia’s war, because neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainians invaded anyone. To “continue the fight,” to continue to defend yourself, your families, your children is not a choice it’s a duty. For pootihn & russia, this is a war of choice, for 🇺🇦 it isn’t.

Then, by George, 2025 reaches the pinnacle of white, male resentment: a full-on assault of democracy for sharing power with people they believe they’re better than. Except Trump’s con is that he hasn’t given power back to these bros. He's just further funneled it into the pockets of billionaires.

The Republicans have convinced these white males to continue to vote Republican (which continues to allow the rich to steal from the middle class). So every year, these white men get poorer & more powerless, but continually feel resentful to Democrats for “sharing” with people of color.

It’s possible that they believe they have less - because people of color & women have been getting more. They scapegoat Democrats, because they believe Democratic policies give away what they have to POC But the truth is, they have less because the 1% has been stealing from the middle class.

Do I believe this high volatility was created by an insanely high hero mythos that white men have envisioned themselves as (through movies, TV, & books). Yes. But the volatility of billionaires robbing them blind every day for the past 50 years really set the stage for the discontent extremism.

Trump has convinced them to blame everybody else for their defects- Because he shares the same psychology of inferiority/superiority. And he, too, dreams of being great. He just can't achieve it because he's such a dud. So he spends all of his time deflecting his failures away & attacking others.

MAGA are low self-esteem white males, with the hero mythos - waiting for someone to lead them to the greatness *over others* that they felt they always deserved. Except that their failure to be great are both natural defects (mediocrity) ... And powerlessness created by being robbed by the 1%.

But that’s why the volatility of the billionaires constantly robbing us - while feeding the grievances of these powerless white males… Makes such a dangerous, violent demographic that just isn’t dangerous and volatile in other countries. The men here ARE more volatile.

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Trump is lashing out at federal judges who have ruled his executive orders unlawful or unconstitutional, denouncing them as “communists” and falsely claiming they’re “trying to take away the power given to the president.” But this tactic is nothing new.
