trump is an abuser. he has gaslit a nation. his pathology is hard wired into him, he cannot change, he is incapable of growth, and he does not care who he hurts.

i cannot even imagine living or working with the man.

Finally the news media are starting to cut off his free airtime, which is oxygen to Chump. He has abused all of us for long enough.

when i read that twitter had made the decision to make it permanent yesterday it was a relief.

i keep thinking about the difference between free speech and free propaganda. i wish i knew the cure, but we're in danger still, because the propaganda is still being catapulted. corporate media is not as responsible as it is greedy. there are millions of people who don't believe in the constitution but have been propagandized to believe that they are the patriots. it's a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

cowering group of abused kids drawn as voters, Uncle Sam, and Lady Liberty...

Republican lawmakers -who are the implied victim in this toon- have been on Trump's side all along.

Not unlike that horrible woman who helped Epstein get and abuse young girls.

Other than Pence, the repukes can put their feet up on their desks and watch the insurrection videos smug in the knowledge that it was Pelosi and AOC (and likely the rest of the Squad) that were targeted.

The GOP elephant wasn't the victim in those attacks, but Uncle Sam/Lady Liberty.
Maybe some would make the case for Stockholm Syndrome on the part of the Congressional Co-conspirators, but they all rolled over and offered their bellies way back in 2016 and haven't shown any signs of recovering their backbones since.

Now she's afraid that leaving the man will mean losing her job, her entitlements, her popularity and her power.

She's not a big enough woman to sacrifice all that. So she'll pretend nothing is wrong and carry on as usual, covering up her bruises with Tammy Faye make-up.

Any republicans on the fence regarding these charges, just don’t care. They are soulless human vessels pretending to be human beings.
