That fragile bubble needs constant praise, seeking the love, comfort & assurance that he is good, competent, smart, strong, virile, and since he seemingly isn't getting those from his wife, he must, like anything, pay for it.

My $$ says she's not going b\c all jobs in Trump 2.0 aren't about competency or ability, they're about loyalty & willingness to debase oneself. This, Trump's owners & handlers learned from Trump 1.0 & like any malignant virus, they learned, reprogrammed & evolved.

Corporate America could not have conceived or invented such a candidate as Trump & then to see him actually be elected must have truly seemed incredulous. They have his back, he doesn't have to do a damn thing, spend 1$, as long as he feeds the frenzied & they grab all, they can while they can.

When I'm solicited to support a Democrat candidate, the 1st thing I look for is a "tell" that they're a Moderate regardless of their rhetoric, & that tell is "Affordable Healthcare" or "Access" to it. Shows a lack of courage to not support Public Option or M4All. They push Medicare Advantage. Nope.

J.G. @legacydem.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
There it is, his Progressive 'Tell', not "Affordable" Healthcare, nor "Access" to Healthcare, but a Public Option. Courage. Moderates, they're the 2nd leading reason why we're in this dystopian era of Republicanism. the 1st? Us.

J.G. @legacydem.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Hope he wins, but there it is, a 'tell', "ACCESS to Healthcare". Why not M4All or a Public Option or Healthcare on Demand with no billing? Beware of Moderates riding a Progressive wave.

Perhaps too, they never envisioned such a voluntarily ignorant electorate that voted against what is best for themselves, family, community, state & country, one that dismantled Public Education, the ONLY guarantee to a sustainable & vibrant democracy.

He & his enablers have thrown so much shit against the wall that, although most of it doesn't stick, it's piled up so high the Epstein-Trump Pedophiles\(files) coverage & commentary are being smothered by it.

J.G. @legacydem.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Along with the wave of Progressive candidates, there's a batch of Moderates & their 'tell' is, "Affordable HealthCare". Nope, not going to cut it. We need Healthcare on demand with -0- billing. The only + to electing such cowards is that they'll buy us time to get rid of them next go aropund.

Everyday I remember what I learned through the 50's-70's from my family before the last of them passed, that Republicans are mean, are not for the working, disadvantaged or marginalized people of this country, they're mean & are always for, what they called Big Business. We've lost our way indeed.

Yes, to stay alive, let alone well & thrive, you need to afford food, shelter, medical CARE, all critical but where do you place your morality, the protection & care for children against predators\abusers? We need to capture, convict & put away forever those who would harm children. 1st things 1st.

Unless you’re an anthropologist, it’s likely that everything you know about American prehistory is wrong. Science journalist Mann’s survey of the current knowledge is a bracing corrective.

Short of us uniting behind a heretofore unknown charismatic leader, something impossible due to the myriad of issues dividing us, the Courts are our last & best hope of standing against this fascist administration, but what remains is enforcement of rulings. If Trump ignores them, we need a plan.

"The most transparent administration ever." *Redacted documents; *denied entry to federal prisons, military bases; *ignoring subpoenas; *denying news agencies coverage. They control the message, own the messengers & further degrade our Public Education. We may recover but we'll never be whole.

To those of us watching our country slowly circle the drain, here again is an example of blowing up the Republican mantra of "Meritocracy over Affirmative Action". Blind loyalty & a willingness to debase oneself are prerequisites. Doesn't hurt to be blonde either.

When they assume seats of power they immediately do 2 things, 1 - enrich themselves & corporations; 2- sow the seeds for their next ascension. The 1st comes via tax breaks & elimination of gov't regs; the 2nd is by further destructing Public Education.

I use the term "Let's Roll!" a lot. I use it to honor Mark Bingham's courage on 9/11/01, & everyone who stood with him to keep that plane from hitting its target. He will forever be a hero. I didn't know him, but I know he'd be with us today. Let's Roll!
This is Mark Bingham.
He was one of the heroes who stormed the cockpit door on Flight 93 on the morning of September 11, 2001.

He was also a gay American.

While many Americans don't want to admit that a gay man could exhibit such bravery, he will forever be an American hero.

Though not even remotely possible, wouldn't it be great if someone sat with him & said, "OK, Mr. President, we're going to go over item by item what the committee considers & why she won & you didn't." How long do you think before he'd get up & storm away screaming, "Fake!"? Item 1?

Courage strangely emerging among Republicans? Hell no, they're just reading the polls. Any bully like Trump needs a lot of backup & as that evaporates, albeit slow & late, what passes for "courage" starts to appear & the more that leave Trump, the louder he cries & the more desperate he grows.

Here's what recent 50+ yrs past tells us; the Dems will win back control of 1 body of congress, perhaps both but 1 for sure & the ensuing committees they'll chair will play by the rules b\c we, not Republicans are a party of law & order. Sad but true & it's why Dems can't, won't, get anything done.
