Rosemary, same. I can't even look at him, never mind listen. I am determined to reclaim my peace and sanity. I am going to start a Substack specifically for others who want to do the same. Follow if you want to join me. We are stronger and saner together.

I started a support type group for all of us. We need a place to gather and remember that we are strong, powerful, and that we are going to be ok. It's free. I'm tired of being afraid! Please join me.

I made it to maybe 30 minutes and had to stop because of the lies, the bigotry, his fucking ego, and Mike Johnson smirking like an idiot who hasn't sold out his faith.

I didn't watch It. I don't care to know anything the liar and chief said. I'm sick of his propaganda, his racism, and sexism, he's disgusting, and I just wish he would just go away. Thank you, Aaron, for all what you do for us.

I walked into the house, heard him say something to the effect that November 5 would be one of the most important dates in American history, and turned off the radio.

💯 What was he referring to? his re-election or something planning on doing, like I don't know, putting women in Handmaid's Tale clothing, and or minorities in concentration camps?

I cannot believe he wants the death penalty for people who murder police officers yet he pardoned people who were violently attacking and attempting to k*ll police officers during Jan 6 it’s so infuriating

YES!!! J6!!!

Just like he wants to jail and expel college students who protest… What was January 6? Oh yeah… It was a love fest. The hypocrisy is his brand. That’s one thing.

But when the hypocrisy comes with

Dangerous consequences, then it’s just outright criminal and should be shut down.

It should apply to Trump for did he not send a mob to kill the Vice President and storm the Capitol putting the Capitol Police in harm and outnumbered while Trump watched from the comfort of OUR WHITE HOUSE stuffing his big mouth with food while he watched all of it on television for hours sending no help and ignoring cries for help and his own daughter begging him to stop it. He could have stopped it. I'd say that was pre-mediated murder and made him partner in the deaths and harm (for some soon after the trauma of being outnumbered fighting that obscenely violent mob there were suicides) and others were maimed eyes, fingers. Michael Fanone suffered a heart attack and a brain injury! Where is the outrage! Where is the Justice?

There doesn't seem to be justice for him. I'm disappointed in our legal system. I don't care if he's the president. In fact it's more reason to hold him accountable !!

URGENT: On Saturday, April 5th is Hands Off National Day of Action. Sign up here for more information and to register:

https://handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=peoplepowerunited

_________________________

Please join the nationwide HANDS OFF!! demonstrations being coordinated by INDIVISIBLE in concert with local activist groups on Saturday 4/5/24. We need 3.5% of the population of "we the people" to show up and stand shoulder-to-shoulder united against the Regime under Trump presently overtaking our democracy and ripping up our Constitution.

Please find the protest closest to where you reside. Trump has declared 4/2 as what he calls a Liberation Day under his leadership.

Now is the perfect time for us to respond on 4/5 in overwhelming numbers and in protest to his plans for our country, our Constitution, our children, and our democracy.

3.5% of the population is the goal because historically it takes that percentage of the total population experiencing a coup to overthrow an autocratic regime. This is our chance. This time belongs to us, and it is urgent.

So, if we show up each and every one of us it will be like “the shot heard round the world”, and one that our enemies and allies will note as historic and powerful.

Showing up is our gift to our children who come after us and a tribute to our parents and grandparents who came before us. It was by their sacrifice that 80+ years have passed during which time our Constitution and democracy have stood strong.

Today all that has been challenged, and we should not be surprised but instead accept that the mantle has been passed on to those alive today to reverse the current trajectory toward autocracy and protect the futures of our children who deserve no less than our leaning in and doing all that we can.

We need each other to put aside all differences and unite to restore our rights under the Constitution and rescue our democracy. It is our collective responsibility, and we cannot flinch.

The judicial system is playing goalie brilliantly deflecting attempts to score points and power to the Regime, but we are the team, and it is time to come right now for each and every one of us to come onto the field and show the world what we can do as Americans not divided but united.

Vance and Johnson were sycophantic bobbleheads nodding and getting up and down every other sentence. The GOP was nauseating, clapping all in vigorous unison. Complete groupthink. There is no independent thought on that side of the aisle. I've never seen anything so horrible in the chamber in my 60 years. Shouting down dissent by yelling USA and hey hey hey goodbye at Congressman Green. Revolting.

One small thing: he claimed that "men" (referring to trans women) were in [cis] women's sports not "trans men". This was one of the longest Marathons of Lies I've ever watched. Nothing but him stroking his tiny ego and using the deceased to push his anti-immigrant agenda. Him "promising" to stop human traffickers and violent people from entering the US after bringing back the Tate criminals from a different nation was a huge hypocritical moment. At one point, it just sounded like he was spinning carnival wheels with different amounts of money, "anti-woke" terms, and random places to make idiotic accusations. What an embarrassment.
