My heart sank on November 5th, of 2024 and from that day forward it has kept sinking. At my age I face increasing anxiety and nervousness all brought on by him. I know I'm not alone, but I'll be damned if I'll give up, because at this point, I just want to outlast this SOB.

The truth will set us free, Bill.

And we must holler that truth.

Bill, hang in there, we will out last the vile POS! You are not alone!!!

Annie's avatar

I'm right there with you, Bill. I, too, want to outlast this SOB and will do everything in my power not to spend the rest of my days hearing and reading his stupid name and listening to this bloated buffoon bloviate with his endless lies.

I am 81 years old and my goal is to live long enough to see them all dead or in prison!

Their hands are stained with the blood of innocents. Their names will forever be associated with mass murder for mammon.

“A society that lives by organized greed or by systemic terrorism … will always tend to be violent because it is in a state of persistent disorder and moral confusion. The first principle of valid political action in such a society then becomes non-cooperation with its disorder, its injustices, and more particularly with its deep commitment to untruth." - Gandhi

Thank you for this quote Al.

Hogsbreath the rapist, put a make-up studio in the Pentagon, that was his priority. I guess the lipstick/pig analogy is true.

The man, I use that term loosely, who said he wanted peace and bragged of ending 8 wars, lies, and set up his Board of Peace at a BILLION dollars per head, and who has complained and castigated Denmark because he was not awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, has started a war that will go on for a very long time. We have already lost six brave men. How many more of our brave men and women in the military will we lose because of this man and his hunger for more power and treasure?

After killing the Iranian Supreme Leader, I would think that trump and Netanyahu will both be targets.

Nobody loves his bunker more than Trump.

virginia arthur's avatar

Yes, but he likes to be seen by his adoring minions. They will plan and wait. He surely can’t set foot in the Middle East again.

Sandie Becker's avatar

Any country worth their salt should arrest him immediately when he sets one foot on their soil regardless of his "position." Humanity must step up to his sorry ass. Hitler stayed behind the lines for the most part. Fats? Invite him somewhere overseas with the promise of a medal or trophy and he'd be in the air so quick....

virginia arthur's avatar

I agree with you. He must be arrested and put on trial. Netanyahu, too! Stick the two of them in prison for the rest of their lives!

DaveHo's avatar

I would love to see the ICC get involved in this regime.

Sylvia Dellas's avatar

I thought his bunker was under the East Wing, which he destroyed. Where will he hide now?

Sandie Becker's avatar

From your lips to God's ears....altho I do question at times why God continues this evil

Susie's avatar

I was thinking the same thing today. I'm having trouble keeping the faith when there is so much evil in our government and so much hatred.

Helen Stajninger's avatar

Thank you for this article Earl. Only 3 days in, and what a mess. 6 American soldiers dead, 168 (?) young girls dead, and God knows how many others.

I remember how angry I was when a recruiter talked my nephew, a floundering high school graduate whose goals were very undecided, into joining the army. And next thing we knew, “weapons of mass destruction” bullshit. He served 3 tours in Iraq/Afghanistan. I sincerely feel for our poor sons and daughters now who have signed up for this next and, perhaps, worse war of bullshit.

D. Earl Stephens ✍️'s avatar

Better known as "suckers and losers" by the President Bone Spurs.

Our military leaders need to start speaking truth to power but quick, Suzanne.

Suzanne Whitaker's avatar

Earl, do you think any of them will? It seems as though so many have been replaced.

D. Earl Stephens ✍️'s avatar

I believe Trump and Hegseth systemically got rid of anybody who would dare talk truth to power. You'll remember this started almost immediately.

Any so-called leader on the outside who is not speaking up right now, is a coward.

Sandie Becker's avatar

That Genetal Caine is as much of a nut job as Hegseth and as blood thirsty as Rumsfeld

Steve Frass's avatar

This is and forever will be “Operation Epstein Fury”! Very sad that Americans have already died for this orange blob’s diversion. 💔😢💔

This war is totally unnecessary!

cosimo's avatar

drumpf is a fucking disaster... the world be damned, he doesn't care because he has no ability to see beyond his own stunted image... dead children? so what? dead US troops? so what? they're just losers to cadet bonespurs... electing a demented fool that cares more about cheating at golf than actually doing the real job of POTUS is becoming clearer and clearer...

that the lumpen dregs may not believe this is the other disaster confronting the sentient among us... it isn't too late, VOTE LIKE IT MEANS SAVING THE WORLD..

Catherine Biondi's avatar

Because it does, in every sense of the term.

Sarah Gillian Bower's avatar

Every single solitary person in this goddamn country could vote, and it won’t make a goddamn bit of difference, cause they ain’t gonna be no midterms. All y’all depending on these midterms nope nope 👎

Susan Rose's avatar

Trump started this war, and don't let them tell us any different. This won't involve just Iran. This is already escalating into a war involving the entire Middle East. Was this mass chaos really trump's decision to make? This will result in countless being injured and maimed, countless dying and innocent civilians suffering miserably as their homeland and lives are destroyed. So trump can have the ultimate say as the dictator of our country. War is supposed to be a last resort, determined necessary by Congress then navigated by the president and Pentagon, isn't it? So what is happening??? He's not going to stop until he starts WWIII.

Sandie Becker's avatar

That fat fool doesn't think of consequences. He's incapable of logic or critical thinking. As someone on Meidas said the pottery barn motto of "you broke it, you own it" has been high jacked by Trump only its "I broke it for you now you clean up the mess."

Machi's avatar

Just abhorrent in the execution of a false narrative. These buckets are sick beyond means,just too full of themselves.

Christopher Noyes's avatar

Unfit for duty for years

Catherine Biondi's avatar

I keep telling myself that they can’t kill us all, by nowadays I’m not so sure. 🫣☠️

Shelby Kent-Stewart's avatar

Brilliant and spot-on piece as always, Earl. The fact that the GOP has abdicated its responsibility comes as no surprise but is nonetheless infuriating and heartbreaking, considering the loss of lives. I hope the hapless masses are paying attention to this clusterf*ck of epic proportions.

D. Earl Stephens ✍️'s avatar

Thanks, Shelby.

I could stand to hear more from Democrats right now, too.

A Board of Truth should be assembled immediately to shine a light on the never-ending lies coming from the White House.

Sandie Becker's avatar

Been saying that for months! Those mealy mouthed Congress dems should be holding DAILY pressers debunking the fat asses lies

Shelby Kent-Stewart's avatar

Absolutely, but I'm not holding my breath.

Does no one see Bibi's fine hand on this leash? Why Schlump is still POTUS is beyond me. Far beyond me. It is my good fortune to be an old bat.

D. Earl Stephens ✍️'s avatar

Yep ... Bibi's walking his dog.

Sandie Becker's avatar

Birds of a feather...two convicted felons who stayed out of jail by "winning" their elections.

Mitch Ritter's avatar

Some who throw in their hats early in Presidential fundraising have been fighting legislatively (or as Activist\Lobbyist-Adjacent Outsider) usually for their entire career as a national level Commander-In-Chief wannabe. That has certainly been Bibi and his party-within-a-party situ in Israel where the parliamentary system calls the Perma War tune.

Perma War E-CON = No Globalized E-CON via most efficient shipping lanes. Look at the maps of confluence of continental shipping access via Suez Canal, Sinai Peninsula, Nile River Highland Headwaters in Ethiopia and shipping access on Sea of Reeds\Red Sea via Yemen's placement on the isthmus and where Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Arabian Sea converge and offer via Port Sudan overland as well as sea-faring access to vital inter-continental trade routes.

No Political E-CON in a Muddle Eastern nation (strategically located between shipping routes of highest trading global powers between the Mediterranean basin, the Sea of Reeds\'Red Sea' and the southeastern Atlantic confluence with the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Emirates & Peninsula, Persian Gulf, Sinai Peninsula with channels at the Suez Canal and Straits from Bab Al-Mandab to Tiran to Port Said and other Egyptian shipping access from Nile Delta and Port Said to Sea of Reeds\Red Sea including the vast trade routes through the Gulf of Aqaba and the eastern shipping hub never more strategically situated via Port Sudan.

Lots of us see it. Don't forget MBS. Saudia Arabia and Israel are aligned for once. We're fighting a proxy war for some really awful people.

THEIR STORIES KEEP CHANGING

If someone lies repeatedly, does it matter to call-out one more lie? When did the wives of serial liars, Donald & Pete, decide narcissists just can’t be trusted? Can we buy any words they use to justify why they’re sending our sons to war?

Sam Ray's avatar

Listened to Hegseth for the first time today. I'm 🤯 this loud & ignorant fool leads 🇺🇸's military.

💯% 🎯"Pete Hegseth is a stupid, loud man, who confuses screaming at people with leadership and clarity. He has no answers or manners, so he berates those who dare to ask him questions, and challenge his qualifications to lead our armed forces into needless battles."
