Money and power are the only thing these present Republicans in higher office worship. Cold, callous 💰 rules their minds and emotions.

And, I mean money in their pockets, not money to help our country help all citizens.

You make a profound statement which is sadly true.

I also finally heard people saying out loud another American trend towards cruelty, that the religious right behind Trump are the most hypocritical bunch of grifters this world gas possibly seen. Finally said out loud in public, what took so long? All Americans that long for democracy, empathy, social justice should be screaming this from the rooftops on every media outlet. This religious movement is a movement towards cruelty, death and destruction. These are End-Time types of people. They don't give a damn about any of us, or anything.

It has been much much too long a wait for American talking heads, to talk out loud about the grifting of the sueto religious organized criminal activity in America. The fear of offending is their shield of power.

That’s a great point about the end of times. They believe we are in it and want Trump to hasten its arrival. What will they do when they don’t get raptured and have to live through the misery with the rest of us?

Remember the Jones followers? Some will probably take that route rather than admit they’ve been scammed.

The only misery is the self induced misery we create ourselves, all inclusive. Let's show them it can be different, but not without stopping them, of course.

Your words have so much power, Michael Cohen, and are always spot on. Thank you for saying it out loud. It is deeply saddening - and alarming - how half the country has turned on their fellow human beings.

We’ve know for decades what these people think about life and death in this country. All hail the fetus, and then god help you once you’re out. Pro-birth, and then you’re on your own.

Yes we are with you Michael. It's more and more obvious how important it is for us to stand up for our Constitution and our Democracy. We cannot be silent. But we also want to keep our protests and actions peaceful. They are just waiting to handcuff us and put us away. Thank you for the daily reminders.

Aja Romano wrote a great article for Vox on 5/22 entitled “Christian nationalists decided empathy is a sin. Now it’s gone mainstream.” Please check it out if you are able. If that’s the new mindset, we are doomed. My mom and dad’s argument back to me whenever I say anything about Trump’s cruelty is “well it hasn’t affected you personally.” WTAF? These were the people who taught me to walk in another’s shoes, and they are gone. It’s sad and frustrating beyond measure.

Thanks Michael. I keep thinking they can’t go any lower but they always do. It all makes me sick to my stomach.

If your democracy was a human, it would be in hospice - its death sentence is speeding up. Please keep fighting ❤️🇨🇦

They thumb their noses at those who have less.

They don’t even bother to thumb their noses. (which are held toward the sky) They just smirk and ignore the less fortunate with arrogant indifference.

In 2015, Trump had been seething for a quarter-century over Serge F. Kovaleski’s coverage of his businesses such as the Trump Shuttle, its grand opening in 1989, Trump’s unfulfilled promises of “the best on-time record in the industry,” and the carrier’s closure in 1992. Trump’s flailing at the mic crudely mocked a muscle contracture known as arthogryposis.

It's finally being said louder snd louder. Empathy is dying in America. It has been for quite some time.Now it is rewarded. This happened before, right? Do we still remember when and where?

A video mashup of the mothers attending their immigration hearings being thrown in the animal vans yesterday with Ernst’s video ( which may have been AI) keeps running… mothers screaming for their children juxtaposed with the ICE heart men chewing gum, fake Ice guys covering their faces, true evil is the new GOP , not only cruelty. Austin Powers would be a good parody close to true

Fake “ICE” agents: Trump’s version of the Brownshirts. Remember Limbaugh and his ilk wailing “Jack Booted Thugs!!!” coming? Well, these are the real ones. Coming today.
