Trump might as well add people with disabilities to his list of people like those I depicted above who don’t have the rights of “real” citizens and don’t belong here in his America. Sorry guys, the FAA won’t hire you. In case you doubt me when I say Trump dosen’t have any empathy for people…

Frank Figluizzi,who served as assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, posted a photo of someone painting a wall at the FBI Academy on BlueSky (here) which lists operativenss, fairness, compassion, integrity, initative, respect, and stability as some of the core values of the agency. It also lists diversity. The photo was published in The Washington Post article …

I have admired Rachel Maddow ever since she began her show on MSNBC. I always agree with everything she says. I don’t always agree with how she says it or how she produces her show. I address the latter today.Last night Rachel Maddow found something to smile and chuckle over about something Trump did. I found…

Rachel Maddow is known for wearing the same black outfit on all of her shows. Kash Patel wants to put her in prison orange. Patel aspires to be Trump’s Hermann Göring. To fully appreciate why I titled this the way I did, watch the 11 minute segment of last night’s Rachel Maddow show (here). Here are…

This is a sequel to yesterday’s Substact: Trump and MAGA cohorts don’t lack empathy. As sadists, they have perverse empathy.

I intended to write about my negative reaction to some of the hosts and guests on MSNBC laughing or expressing any kind of amusement when they talk about Trump or his minions. I don’t want to pick on Rachel Maddow in particular, but she seems to be the worst offender. Others like Lawrence O’Donnell, Michelle…

Sabrina Haake’s Substack “Haake Take” today A king pardons his army: J6 was a rehearsal. By pardoning the most violent among them, Trump has begun recruitment for the real event prompted me to make a comment.Then I realized this would be a good topic for my own Substack. I added a bit to it and added an…

As we enter the dark days of democracy’s death there are several positive things I can think about Trump’s grandiose narcissism that can derail his quest to establish his ruthlessly cruel dictatorship. The obvious one is that some of his plans will fail so egregiously that some of his supporters in Congress will turn against…

I’m surprised that Trump didn’t call the bishop who called on him to be compassionate a Devil worshipper. This is the man who couldn’t be bothered to place his hand on two Bibles held by his wife when he was sworn in to be president. Perhaps he thought that if he took the oath without…

There he was. Jeff Bezos, the owner of both Amazon and The Washington Post, along with Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and the less familiar owner of Google, Sundar Pichai, in Billionaires Row at the inauguration. If he only owned Amazon, all things considered with Trump’s affection for oligarchs, it would make sense for him to be…
