@beingliberal.bsky.social People should focus on Trump’s statement that he and Putin had been through many hard times together. Together? Putin had a hard time because of charges against Trump? They must have bonded deeply. And Trump doesn’t bond with anyone. He exchanges confidences -with Putin!

Stephen Williamson @demperspective.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

The signal that it’s time for all-out opposition to hit the streets with everything we have is when and if Trump/Musk ignores or defies court orders because then American law will have ended as recourse and protection. We would be in the new world noncompliance and there would be no other recourse

President Fool's purge of top military seems aimed at Blacks and women, but more importantly at potential doubters and objectors to whatever he wants the ability to do, but it's something against military law, common practice, tradition, or rules of engagement.Hopefully, it's just petty revenge.

Stephen Williamson @demperspective.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

The Fool reached way down the ladder to pick his new chief of staff: "I love you, sir, I really love you so much" or something like that. The brass seemed to have decided the 'selected' wouldn't be useful. So they put him on a shelf out of the way in a prestigious-sounding job -liaison with the CIA

Stephen Williamson @demperspective.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

The key this time round is that Trump knows who he is politically. The ambiguity, occasional liberality, and rare liberalism of the first term are gone. His cruelty and desire for revenge are leading him into more and more destructive behavior.

Stephen Williamson @demperspective.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Psychologists tell me (off-air, of course ) that Trump is sociopathic but also, most accurately, a borderline personality. Look it up if you want. Putin is a regular sociopath -he wants things ordered. Trump, a borderline personality, creates and thrives on disorder and chaos.

The scariest action of President Fool's administration is ignoring judicial court rulings. That moves an aggressively far-right agenda to another level: tyranny. Even if it’s a feint, and he is just trying to pressure courts to rule his way, it's deeply damaging to Democracy.

What if we organize ourselves and write an open letter to the world? World we say we can't be trusted under President Fool and maxie-me Musk. President Fool is a sociopathic bully.

Reminder the actual Presidential vote: Trump 77,302,580 Harris 75,017,613 DIFFERENCE 2,284,967 So, more than 75 million Americans opposed Trump. It was a serious victory, but no blowout. We need to galvanize only a portion of the 75 million to shut down the most extreme parts of his agenda.

I hope some younger folks look at the situation with eyes wide open. Look at the Palestinians: 68,000 dead (lancet), at least 4.5 times yet to die from indirect causes. No one with power willing to intervene. This is the world we are leaving you. The shoe has been other feet but still… wait….
