The chaos is bad but what is even worse than the “chaos itself” is the path it is making for a fascist regime to take us over. Maine Governor Janet Mills was threatened personally regarding her career if she didn’t comply with the federal government regarding transgender in sports and she said that Maine would see him in court, he was furious with her remark and proceeded to tell her she would not be able to get a job in politics after this. She received letters from various Federal Depts. threatening to take funds away from unrelated issues as retribution. Even touching on children’s school lunches, etc. so, here is the scary part, there is a process that follows the rule of law that needs to be followed before any of those restrictions can happen and he thought he could just disregard those rule of law processes and make it happen with “his” decree. Another example of what a dictator looks like.
I think Maine is more than bearing the brunt, it is being targeted by Trump, to make an example and to suppress opposition to “his” government. There it is again, dictatorship 101.
I hope Gov Mills doesn’t give in to this tyrant. I hope she stands up and stands strong. I hope she doesn’t let him bully her like the whole Republican Party does. Stay strong Maine. The rest of the US is watching and supporting you. 💪
The Extreme Court has effectively said that he is above the law. Let us see how the order to return Ábrego García plays out. I fear Alito, Thomas, and the Three Stooges will let him ignore the ruling... [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qwxwrr74jo]
If you can read on MSN, "Trump dementia and the duty to warn." Very good article. Now that he openly defying the Supreme Court, what will they do? I don't know why the Republicans don't see what he is doing, who his guest are in the WH, and what he says. Johnson is his enabler and needs to go. We are not at war, there are no air raids sirens going off, there's no gun shots or bombs dropping, there's just tRump himself and the Senate Republicans, causing the war that is going on with the people in this country. God Bless you and God Bless America.
You know him better than most, so does he have an end game in mind or does he just riff from one mad idea to the next leaving a trail of chaos behind him? Does he sign up to any future vision of America eg an American version of Putin’s Russia, or Xi’s China, or Yarvins vision of AI government by techbros?
Guy, I think he just riffs, vacillates from one fleeting limited thought to another. He's an idiot incapable of an original thought much less any kind of plan. He's only motivated by exacting revenge and inflicting cruelty. 😞
Perfectly said Michael, every single word is true, thank you 🙏..... it's horrifying what our country has devolved into.... I cry a lot.... I'm actually afraid in my own country, afraid of the psycho in the White House and his deranged sycophants & henchmen. 🥺😞😢. How will we ever recover from this dystopian hellscape? 🥺
I believe you can get away with "fornicating" on FB. Still, as a writer, I hate to refer to someone as a morally bankrupt, worthless, fornicating piece of excrement...
Seems Retailers, like Walmart, are going to itemize and print “Tariff Tax” and $ amount on sales receipts. I don’t see Retailers taking customer complaints for price increases.

So true and Mainecare providers are not getting paid. Mental health services are being cut. Maine is certainly bearing a brunt.

In the madman’s defense he did promise chaos & he has delivered. What’s shocking are the people who actually voted for chaos.
How can we get rid of this man? Every move he makes is illegal. Has the unsupreme court actually made him king?

Great summary of the mayhem caused by Trump in under 100 days. And, it's just the beginning.
“The No Fear Tour” is going to cause the Orange Convicted Felon to become furious. I’ll be listening tomorrow. Thanks Michael!

Use the < looking share icon to the right of the restack circle. Hit 'more' either copy or share directly with fb or blue sky. Works for me. Best...
