Do they EVER admit that their information they tried to sell was false, and misleading? Nope. On to the next conspiracy theory. It's why nobody trusts the media and the Democrats (sorry for the redundancy!) anymore.
Looks like this fallacy will extend into 2026 and beyond, but the MSM is hastening their own decline (see "Stephen Colbert"). It's nothing less than an implosion for the Media Industrial Complex.
Left-wing people are oblivious to the concept of their own credibility. They are solipsistic (or "main character", for the Gen Zs out there). It's not that they think their own credibility can never decline; it's that thinking about the concept of their own credibility is beyond them because they don't think of themselves as people just like everyone else.
They can "boy who cried wolf" forever and still be genuinely surprised that the next cry isn't believed.
And MAGA have all the power and they still act petty, angry and still somehow think they need vengeance. Democrats have no power in media, government or culture anymore.
Ultimately, it’s not the Democrats, the RINO Republicans, the vast Deep State Apparatchiks, the Legacy Media, Hollywood, or the leadership within any of our once highly-respected, deeply trusted Institutions (I’m 69; I was there!) that has held the power - it is Satan, ‘the Prince of the power of the Air’…
“For we know that…the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19) was written by the Apostle John almost two thousand years ago. That reality is confirmed and elaborated upon by other NT Apostles, OT Prophets, and ultimately, by Jesus Himself.
BUT (Behold the Underlying Truth), God…
But, God is Sovereign over His Universe, and He will fulfill His will and plan for the ages within and through it. Through the Holy Spirit, He is restraining, and exposing, the Satanically-inspired and empowered forces of darkness that threaten to engulf and overwhelm our nation, and the world.
He is revealing these dreadful realities to wake up those within the Church who are slumbering, and turn the hearts of those who are not yet saved to Himself, for the redeeming salvation made available to ‘whosoever will’ through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.
But, the restraining will come to an end, and Satan will have his unrestrained ‘day’ upon the world. God will still save. But it will then be from within the fire, not as it is largely happening now, with most people largely distant from it, looking on, realizing their plight, and, if wise and courageous, turning to the Lord for salvation.
2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 (NKJV)
“And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
But, God…
The time for choosing is upon us. All that is written will be fulfilled, to the smallest detail. God helping us all, may those with ‘eyes to see and ears to hear’ choose well. Choose Life!
Hmmm 🤔 Does HL stand for Hallucinating Lunatic😵💫😵💫? Dems have become the party of hate, intolerance and idiocy. Dems still control the legacy media, which is in the process of committing suicide, but retains some power. Normal people continue to leave the Dems as they are repulsed 🤮 by stupid things like DEI, open borders, gender changing surgery on minors, boys playing girls’ sports, etc. It is important that the Dem party implode soon so as to expel all the crazies that seem to control the party.
Wow, I could have written your response, word for word. Some people don't get it, how crazy the Democrat party has gotten with all their wole Progressive BS. Yes, people are leaving the party in droves.
There are a lot of RINOS who carried water for the Dems in this whole Russian collusion thing.
Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, etc...
And BOTH political parties have people who are representatives for 8 or 10 years, and retire as millionaires. How does that happen, on $175,000 yearly salary?? 🤔🤔
Unless it could impact a Republican than do like democrats do ignore it, do whataboutisms, claim you are unfairly being targeted or start another tangent to which that subject gets ignored as a result. I get it you hate their guts to the extreme do not sugar coat it they are not either.
It could all be about my bloodlust for me. And even if all my fondest dreams about marching you all off a cliff came true, you and yours would STILL be getting off light.
You deserve more than mortal men can dish out in one lifetime.
HL3 reflects "real communism hasn't been tried"; the final excuse of the Left. Since his ideology is failing, he must now insist that it has no power, so that it cannot be at fault.
Only the Left must do this, and your last recourse is to pretend that everyone else does it too.
Belief in property rights doesn't require hating anyone except those who hate us. We have nothing by default, but if we behave constructively, we can build.
But you? Your entire worldview's starting point is that utopia is the default, and we're robbed of it by the evil THEM. Without hatred, there is no Leftism.
I can look at online media and see how much the right pushes the hate and anger you are so naive. You think this country would be better off with just one ideology and one political thought.
I now truly feel sorry for you. Tell us all, what's it like to be mentally disabled? I'm surprised that you can write a sentence. It isn't a coherent sentence, but it is a sentence. "Democrats have no power in media, government or culture anymore." THAT'S a remarkably moronic statement, even for you.
Humm...California, with the highest population? New York? Massachusetts? All of them one party democrat dictatorships (if you haven't figured that out yet). You like those one party democrat dictatorships, don't you? The entire West Coast and most of the East Coast? They haven't controlled a majority in how many months? Six? Media? All of the legacy media is controlled by Democrats. I believe you should re-think who the actual fucking moron is, moron.
It is vengeance and more power and Trumps recent plots shows its been always that game since he won 2024. To create a political power that will forever dominate and crush its foes.
Thats politics both parties lie if you think its one party dominated on lying being naive is the nicest work to describe you. Also character assassination wasnt just Trump ask Kerry where GOP got fake stories to attack his military record that was a lot and they got away with it.
Welcome to Reality, Sasha Stone—You Magnificent Apostate
As a fellow ex-liberal, let me just say: brava. You didn’t just peek behind the curtain—you tore it down, set it ablaze, and live-streamed the bonfire.
Your confession reads like the political memoir I never knew I needed—equal parts personal reckoning and battlefield report from the Great Mass Psychosis of the Trump Era. You nailed it: Russiagate wasn’t a scandal; it was a ritual. A modern-day Salem, complete with spectral evidence, heretics, and nightly sermons from High Priestess Maddow. And you, once a loyal congregant, walked out mid-hymn. That takes guts.
You saw through the illusion—that this wasn’t about Trump’s badness, but about their desperation. They couldn’t beat him with ideas, so they conjured demons, spun myths, and launched a culture-wide exorcism. But like all moral panics, it consumed the faithful.
Your lines on the puritanical thirst for salacious Trump content were pitch-perfect. Who knew the Resistance would turn into a bunch of repressed Victorian busybodies, gasping for more Stormy details while clutching their pearls?
But the most important thing? You didn’t stop at Russiagate. You followed the strings all the way to the COVID psyop, the election manipulations, the Big Tech censorship, the Biden puppet show, and finally the soft coup to install Kamala Harris via celebrity op-ed. That’s not just a red pill—that’s a whole pharmacy.
You now see what so many refuse to: this is not about Donald Trump. This is about power—who gets to define reality, who gets to rule, and who gets erased for asking the wrong questions.
Thank you for owning your past, exposing the lies, and joining those of us who left the bunker long ago. Your voice matters, because the most powerful critics of the regime are the ones who once believed in it.
So welcome, Sasha. The water’s fine out here. A little choppy, maybe, but at least we can swim without wearing masks.
I only wish my liberal friends and family would read this Substack. I can’t convince them that Donald Trump isn’t Hitler (how stupid does that sound?!). They just accuse me of being the dreadful MAGA. POWER IS ALL CORRUPTING AND ALL CONSUMING. You are correct that only someone who has been there on the dark side can truly relate to those who are being and have been brainwashed for the past ten plus years. Thank you Sasha…you are a breath of fresh air in this f’d up world.
The left narrative du jour is that the Gabbard referral to the DOJ regarding the Obama and his minions is just a distraction from Epstein. I posit it’s the opposite. Epstein is a desperate democrat distraction from the sedition of the Obama
As someone who considers himself a liberal and progressive, seeing the total commitment to falsehoods that the Left and the Democratic party still hold just frustrates and depresses me.
Even on a travel forum post the other day I saw a comment about "right wing Putin puppet[s]." They're pushing the same narratives without any evidence, or even logic--what exactly do they think the appeal of Putin is to anyone even slightly right of center? A guy who seemly wants to rebuild the USSR appeals to the right, of all people?
The ROI ratio of Trump getting in bed with Putin never made any sense. What could multi-billionaire Trump possibly want that would make the risk of discovery worth the reward?
Exactly. What can they offer that Trump doesn't already have? But Obama, and his need for the fanciest of homes in the most expensive ZIP codes? Nothing to see there! Move along.
Another downside to "Trump getting in bed with Putin" (if I take your comment a bit more literally than you probably intended) is that there would no doubt be cameras everywhere, and once the footage got posted the resulting optics would make the so-called "pee tape" seem tame in comparison :).
Yep, and I wonder if....if we forwarded Sasha's columns to our leftist Dem acquaintances, I wonder if Sasha's story would have an effect on them ?? Anybody have anecdotal stories on attempting that ?
My former brother-in-law, a formerly brilliant computer programmer, complains about three things:
1. Being retired and having nothing to do.
2. The over-reach of government in California.
3. The evils of Donald Trump and MAGA.
He has sent me links to several articles, poorly crafted and filled with the usual bs, which I dutifully read and carefully refuted.
I have sent him two of Sasha’s best. His reply: article #1: I can’t get the link to open; article #2 (which I pasted into the email): I’m too busy to read that.
Oh, by the way, he still thinks Newsom is doing a “pretty good job”!
As someone who had tried to get my old Dem friends to see what’s going on… I don’t think they’d listen. They’d call her a grifter so they don’t have to engage in good faith. It’s sad, but true. You have to come out of it on your own like Sasha and many of us did.
Alright, Sasha, but the tough part isn't opening your eyes to the malfeasance of your former cohort. It's having the guts to do what was unthinkable before they did it to Trump:
Arrest Barack Obama on national television. A court can decide whether his actions are covered by Presidential immunity.
If it rips the country apart, then so be it. That which can be destroyed by truth should be destroyed by truth.
I think it would only do what arresting Trump did for the GOP: give them something to rally around. They’d use it as proof he’s weaponizing the Justice Department—without realizing they were guilty of that. I say arrest everyone around him. Let Obama’s reputation be chipped away with disclosures in Congressional hearings and from testimony in arresting ppl around him. Though if they have proof of something that’s not beyond the statute of limitations—maybe? I fear it would cause more harm than good. Clapper, Brennan, Comey, etc—full speed ahead. (But I’m open to being wrong on this.)
Either you want to preserve national comity, even if it means letting the lead malefactor in a seditious conspiracy walk away, or you want justice to prevail, and hope the cost to the nation isn't too high.
To my mind, a nation that isn't committed to justice over comity is only questionably worth saving.
If I'm not mistaken, Trump may be the only man in U.S. history, while in his 50s, accused of rape involving a woman older than him. E. Jean Carroll was 55 at the time—five years his senior. For a media obsessed with stats, no one’s pointed out the oddity: men accused of rape are overwhelmingly linked to younger victims. But here we have two people in their fifties, in a Fifth Avenue department store, in broad daylight. She says he followed her into a dressing room. She was trying on lingerie. He was, allegedly, wandering aimlessly. Mind you, Trump, a world-famous personality, with every hotel room in the city at his disposal, wandering aimlessly in broad daylight in Berghof-Goodman, follows an older woman into a dressing room to watch her try on lingerie and then proceeds to rape her. As a middle-aged man myself, I’d like to know how Trump had the stamina to be aroused by an older woman, back then, around the same time he’s now being accused of being a pedophile with his pal, Jeffrey Epstein? Stalking middle-aged women by day, dunking teens by night, building hotels, starring on TV shows, and attending gala events like a 20-year-old Olympiad while, by most press accounts, he was an overweight guy with a poor diet in his 50s. Pretty remarkable.
This was the hill they chose to die on—and somehow, they got a jury to buy it. A story that defies every known behavioral pattern, asking the public to suspend disbelief like they’re watching an avant-garde play in an Off-Broadway theater.
What does the E. Jean Carroll case really say about liberals? That they were willing to bend reality into knots just to notch a win against Trump, only to get steamrolled by him in every other arena. A technical victory, maybe. But in the court of public perception? A self-inflicted wound. Like a child cutting themselves to get attention from a parent. Consider this self-destructive habit as we move closer to interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell.
This is why Liberals keep losing to Trump—they’re not fighting reality, they’re rewriting it in a way no one outside the echo chamber buys. But the buy-in for being a Liberal in 2025 is that reality isn’t fixed, it’s what you want it to be. That’s why Americans who have no choice in the matter when it comes to reality choose not to choose Liberals.
It’s not really hard to understand the lying press now since the government ie Democrats had them all bought and paid for from USAID. That to me was the biggest shock and yet clarifying moment from Doge. I could never understand why they the mainstream media would take only one side. Their narrative never made sense. What shocks me even more is that anyone with any sense of a bullshit meter could see these people lying straight to our faces daily. I never could imagine anyone with two functioning Brain cells would believe this shit. But they do. And they still do. Boggles my mind. Smh 🤦🏻♀️
I really liked your sentence "It’s always been about them and their unwillingness to do the one thing they would have to do to defeat him: offer the people something better." 100% agree with you!
You know... I still go back to everything, but the raid on Mar-A-Lago really sharpened my focus even further. From the Xiden admin authorizing 'deadly force' during the raid.
Superb recollection that many of us former lefties (I am Australian) or Democrats and a chronology of how and when we walked away. I did when Sanders capitulated at the 2016 Convention having bet $7000 on him becoming the nominee, that is how invested I was.
I became a Trumper after watching the Al Smith charity dinner roast in November 2016.
I have never looked back.
I appreciate your encyclopaedic article that ought form the basis of one of many future Ph.Ds.
How many years has it been? Ten?
Trying to discredit him, any way they can. When the latest accusation comes out in the press... and the Democrats salivate.
"NOW WE'VE GOT HIM," the media teases.

Do they EVER admit that their information they tried to sell was false, and misleading? Nope. On to the next conspiracy theory. It's why nobody trusts the media and the Democrats (sorry for the redundancy!) anymore.
And he is STILL our President 🇺🇸🇺🇸
2015 - 2025 "Our captive media will get Trump!"
Looks like this fallacy will extend into 2026 and beyond, but the MSM is hastening their own decline (see "Stephen Colbert"). It's nothing less than an implosion for the Media Industrial Complex.
It's great, watching the media shoot themselves in the foot, repeatedly.
They never admit that they've been wrong about anything. They just come up with the next false flag.
Nobody trusts the mainstream media, except those drinking the Democrat Kool-Aid.
I just miss the Halcyon days of Rob Reiner spitting into a camera after every single one of these, "We got him! We got him! He's done!"
Thank the Lord he is our President!
Left-wing people are oblivious to the concept of their own credibility. They are solipsistic (or "main character", for the Gen Zs out there). It's not that they think their own credibility can never decline; it's that thinking about the concept of their own credibility is beyond them because they don't think of themselves as people just like everyone else.
They can "boy who cried wolf" forever and still be genuinely surprised that the next cry isn't believed.
Of course, it's all because they are so much better than the rest of us!!!
And MAGA have all the power and they still act petty, angry and still somehow think they need vengeance. Democrats have no power in media, government or culture anymore.
Huh? "Democrats have no power in media, government or culture anymore."
If Hilary, Comey, Biden, Obama, Brennan, Schiff and Pelosi are still walking free, then democrats still have power.
Ultimately, it’s not the Democrats, the RINO Republicans, the vast Deep State Apparatchiks, the Legacy Media, Hollywood, or the leadership within any of our once highly-respected, deeply trusted Institutions (I’m 69; I was there!) that has held the power - it is Satan, ‘the Prince of the power of the Air’…
“For we know that…the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19) was written by the Apostle John almost two thousand years ago. That reality is confirmed and elaborated upon by other NT Apostles, OT Prophets, and ultimately, by Jesus Himself.
BUT (Behold the Underlying Truth), God…
But, God is Sovereign over His Universe, and He will fulfill His will and plan for the ages within and through it. Through the Holy Spirit, He is restraining, and exposing, the Satanically-inspired and empowered forces of darkness that threaten to engulf and overwhelm our nation, and the world.
He is revealing these dreadful realities to wake up those within the Church who are slumbering, and turn the hearts of those who are not yet saved to Himself, for the redeeming salvation made available to ‘whosoever will’ through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.

But it will then be from within the fire, not as it is largely happening now, with most people largely distant from it, looking on, realizing their plight, and, if wise and courageous, turning to the Lord for salvation.

The time for choosing is upon us. All that is written will be fulfilled, to the smallest detail. God helping us all, may those with ‘eyes to see and ears to hear’ choose well. Choose Life!
Am Israel Chai!
Amen, brother! Thanks for speaking up so eloquently and comprehensively.
Truth, the supreme Truth, for a generation which hates it.
Thank you Brother! God bless, guide, and keep you!
Hmmm 🤔 Does HL stand for Hallucinating Lunatic😵💫😵💫? Dems have become the party of hate, intolerance and idiocy. Dems still control the legacy media, which is in the process of committing suicide, but retains some power. Normal people continue to leave the Dems as they are repulsed 🤮 by stupid things like DEI, open borders, gender changing surgery on minors, boys playing girls’ sports, etc. It is important that the Dem party implode soon so as to expel all the crazies that seem to control the party.
Wow, I could have written your response, word for word. Some people don't get it, how crazy the Democrat party has gotten with all their wole Progressive BS. Yes, people are leaving the party in droves.
Last Democrat out, turn off the light!
Does HL stand for Hallucinating Lunatic? YES IT DOES! Poor HL thinks he’s part of The Resistance.
Yes, he doesn't realize...
Since Trump won in 2016,
MAGA is there resistance!!
And we're BAAAAACK!
Corruption needs to be investigated. Republicans aren't totally innocent of that, but Democrats are so much better at it...
Especially when there are traitors like Obama involved.
I'd like to know what corruption Republicans are guilty of.
There are a lot of RINOS who carried water for the Dems in this whole Russian collusion thing.
Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, etc...
And BOTH political parties have people who are representatives for 8 or 10 years, and retire as millionaires. How does that happen, on $175,000 yearly salary?? 🤔🤔
Unless it could impact a Republican than do like democrats do ignore it, do whataboutisms, claim you are unfairly being targeted or start another tangent to which that subject gets ignored as a result. I get it you hate their guts to the extreme do not sugar coat it they are not either.
Has nothing to do with hating their guts...
When people break the law, they need to be held to account.
We are literally incapable of doing something to you that you don't richly deserve.
Trump and MAGA is currently do that so that statement is wrong.
You deserve worse than can be done by us, sport. We can only get you in this world.
At least you admit its personal and power driven Ill give you that.
Yeah, well, you know...
"When people fuck with my family, my life, and my country, I get kinda pissed."
That could be Donald Trump's Mission Statement in 2024...
Make America Great Again.
Who could be against that? 🤔
It could all be about my bloodlust for me. And even if all my fondest dreams about marching you all off a cliff came true, you and yours would STILL be getting off light.
You deserve more than mortal men can dish out in one lifetime.
The self-delusions continue...
HL3 reflects "real communism hasn't been tried"; the final excuse of the Left. Since his ideology is failing, he must now insist that it has no power, so that it cannot be at fault.
The right and left must push words that elicit responses of hate and anger you are no different.
Only the Left must do this, and your last recourse is to pretend that everyone else does it too.
Belief in property rights doesn't require hating anyone except those who hate us. We have nothing by default, but if we behave constructively, we can build.
But you? Your entire worldview's starting point is that utopia is the default, and we're robbed of it by the evil THEM. Without hatred, there is no Leftism.
I can look at online media and see how much the right pushes the hate and anger you are so naive. You think this country would be better off with just one ideology and one political thought.
Yes, this country would be better off with only one ideology, provided that ideology was actually good.
Your kind, by contrast, are even less pluralistic and insist that the only acceptable ideology be history's worst.
I now truly feel sorry for you. Tell us all, what's it like to be mentally disabled? I'm surprised that you can write a sentence. It isn't a coherent sentence, but it is a sentence. "Democrats have no power in media, government or culture anymore." THAT'S a remarkably moronic statement, even for you.
Lets see fucking moron
1. Democrats control only 15 state governments
2. Supreme court is 6-3 Conservative
3. Do not control any majority in the federal level
4. The biggest media is now friendly towards GOP see LAtimes, Fox, and Twitter.
So yes my entire statement is true they have truly no power in Federal, State or even the media itself.
Humm...California, with the highest population? New York? Massachusetts? All of them one party democrat dictatorships (if you haven't figured that out yet). You like those one party democrat dictatorships, don't you? The entire West Coast and most of the East Coast? They haven't controlled a majority in how many months? Six? Media? All of the legacy media is controlled by Democrats. I believe you should re-think who the actual fucking moron is, moron.
You know what states really control ? Nothing federal could remove all their main line powers and nothing can be really done.
Well, how else are Democrats going to learn if there are no consequences for their bad actions?
Ever parent a toddler?
Also this take is insane: Democrats have no power in media, government or culture anymore.
Hello? The left owns the media and culture lock stock and barrel.
That is such BS. I can’t believe that you actually believe that.
I cant believe you think MAGA are still victims
Yeah, HL, Highly cLueless one...
If I had been having to deal with being persecuted, slandered, and attempted to be destroyed by people for 10 years...
Yes, I would be angry, too.
Nobody has had to put up with the harassment in office, that Donald Trump has.
It's not vengeance.
It's Justice.
It is vengeance and more power and Trumps recent plots shows its been always that game since he won 2024. To create a political power that will forever dominate and crush its foes.
that sounds like projection
Just reality
well, you guys kind of asked for it.
though it is nothing compared to what the left did to Trump. Not even in the same universe.
Democrats and the media have been lying for 10 years,
"TRUMP did this, Trump did that."
10 years of character assassination.
BUT.....
The truth is getting out, and my oh my, look out. The D.C. roaches are going to scatter, the more that gets exposed.
Annnnnd. LOVING IT.
Thats politics both parties lie if you think its one party dominated on lying being naive is the nicest work to describe you. Also character assassination wasnt just Trump ask Kerry where GOP got fake stories to attack his military record that was a lot and they got away with it.
Did the GOP attack John Kerry for 10 years?
Did they do a swat raid, on his house?
Did they indict him, on 94 felonies?
No. You're full of shit.

Thank you, Sasha. I believe you that it was so hard. I admire your integrity.
Yes, and didja notice, she's quoting the Bible now:

From the UK, I watch the shenanigans going on over the pond with mild envy….
Europe and especially the UK are done!
The Trojan horse here, is empty and being ridden around our land in Islamic victory.
At least Trump acknowledges the obvious threat I just hope you all see it too, it’s hiding in plain sight, blessed by the self loathing left.
Another honest insightful piece, thanks Sasha….😊
The left narrative du jour is that the Gabbard referral to the DOJ regarding the Obama and his minions is just a distraction from Epstein. I posit it’s the opposite. Epstein is a desperate democrat distraction from the sedition of the Obama
Yes! Correct! Obama? Nothing to see here…
Left and right have no meaning anymore when the left hates an idea they used to long for just because Trump said it.
And of course the opposite is true when the right supports Trump when he likes an idea originally from the left.
As someone who considers himself a liberal and progressive, seeing the total commitment to falsehoods that the Left and the Democratic party still hold just frustrates and depresses me.
Even on a travel forum post the other day I saw a comment about "right wing Putin puppet[s]." They're pushing the same narratives without any evidence, or even logic--what exactly do they think the appeal of Putin is to anyone even slightly right of center? A guy who seemly wants to rebuild the USSR appeals to the right, of all people?
The ROI ratio of Trump getting in bed with Putin never made any sense. What could multi-billionaire Trump possibly want that would make the risk of discovery worth the reward?
Exactly. What can they offer that Trump doesn't already have? But Obama, and his need for the fanciest of homes in the most expensive ZIP codes? Nothing to see there! Move along.
Another downside to "Trump getting in bed with Putin" (if I take your comment a bit more literally than you probably intended) is that there would no doubt be cameras everywhere, and once the footage got posted the resulting optics would make the so-called "pee tape" seem tame in comparison :).
I really enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing your perspectives
Yep, and I wonder if....if we forwarded Sasha's columns to our leftist Dem acquaintances, I wonder if Sasha's story would have an effect on them ?? Anybody have anecdotal stories on attempting that ?
My former brother-in-law, a formerly brilliant computer programmer, complains about three things:
1. Being retired and having nothing to do.
2. The over-reach of government in California.
3. The evils of Donald Trump and MAGA.
He has sent me links to several articles, poorly crafted and filled with the usual bs, which I dutifully read and carefully refuted.
I have sent him two of Sasha’s best. His reply: article #1: I can’t get the link to open; article #2 (which I pasted into the email): I’m too busy to read that.
Oh, by the way, he still thinks Newsom is doing a “pretty good job”!
You can lead the horse to water...
You cannot make it drink.
Democrats don't want to read the truth, or even anything that goes against their narrative.
Willful ignorance.
Ah, they are then pre-disposed to 'want' to believe the lie.
Mr Newsom is doing an outstanding job! But not the one that he was elected to do.
Ha! ....and there we are. Thx Roberta.
Egad!
As someone who had tried to get my old Dem friends to see what’s going on… I don’t think they’d listen. They’d call her a grifter so they don’t have to engage in good faith. It’s sad, but true. You have to come out of it on your own like Sasha and many of us did.
Kinda Biblical....like the 'stiff-necked' Pharisees, or Pharoah ignoring the numerous plagues.....
Dems have become the "AWFUL Brigade" - Affluent White Female Uber Leftists.
Alright, Sasha, but the tough part isn't opening your eyes to the malfeasance of your former cohort. It's having the guts to do what was unthinkable before they did it to Trump:
Arrest Barack Obama on national television. A court can decide whether his actions are covered by Presidential immunity.
If it rips the country apart, then so be it. That which can be destroyed by truth should be destroyed by truth.
I think it would only do what arresting Trump did for the GOP: give them something to rally around. They’d use it as proof he’s weaponizing the Justice Department—without realizing they were guilty of that. I say arrest everyone around him. Let Obama’s reputation be chipped away with disclosures in Congressional hearings and from testimony in arresting ppl around him. Though if they have proof of something that’s not beyond the statute of limitations—maybe? I fear it would cause more harm than good. Clapper, Brennan, Comey, etc—full speed ahead. (But I’m open to being wrong on this.)
This is why I said "guts".
Either you want to preserve national comity, even if it means letting the lead malefactor in a seditious conspiracy walk away, or you want justice to prevail, and hope the cost to the nation isn't too high.
To my mind, a nation that isn't committed to justice over comity is only questionably worth saving.
You make a fair point.
Absolutely.
If I'm not mistaken, Trump may be the only man in U.S. history, while in his 50s, accused of rape involving a woman older than him. E. Jean Carroll was 55 at the time—five years his senior. For a media obsessed with stats, no one’s pointed out the oddity: men accused of rape are overwhelmingly linked to younger victims. But here we have two people in their fifties, in a Fifth Avenue department store, in broad daylight. She says he followed her into a dressing room. She was trying on lingerie. He was, allegedly, wandering aimlessly. Mind you, Trump, a world-famous personality, with every hotel room in the city at his disposal, wandering aimlessly in broad daylight in Berghof-Goodman, follows an older woman into a dressing room to watch her try on lingerie and then proceeds to rape her. As a middle-aged man myself, I’d like to know how Trump had the stamina to be aroused by an older woman, back then, around the same time he’s now being accused of being a pedophile with his pal, Jeffrey Epstein? Stalking middle-aged women by day, dunking teens by night, building hotels, starring on TV shows, and attending gala events like a 20-year-old Olympiad while, by most press accounts, he was an overweight guy with a poor diet in his 50s. Pretty remarkable.
This was the hill they chose to die on—and somehow, they got a jury to buy it. A story that defies every known behavioral pattern, asking the public to suspend disbelief like they’re watching an avant-garde play in an Off-Broadway theater.
What does the E. Jean Carroll case really say about liberals? That they were willing to bend reality into knots just to notch a win against Trump, only to get steamrolled by him in every other arena. A technical victory, maybe. But in the court of public perception? A self-inflicted wound. Like a child cutting themselves to get attention from a parent. Consider this self-destructive habit as we move closer to interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell.
This is why Liberals keep losing to Trump—they’re not fighting reality, they’re rewriting it in a way no one outside the echo chamber buys. But the buy-in for being a Liberal in 2025 is that reality isn’t fixed, it’s what you want it to be. That’s why Americans who have no choice in the matter when it comes to reality choose not to choose Liberals.
Women in their 50s aren't attractive? JLo anyone?
Juror #1 has spoken.
It’s not really hard to understand the lying press now since the government ie Democrats had them all bought and paid for from USAID. That to me was the biggest shock and yet clarifying moment from Doge. I could never understand why they the mainstream media would take only one side. Their narrative never made sense. What shocks me even more is that anyone with any sense of a bullshit meter could see these people lying straight to our faces daily. I never could imagine anyone with two functioning Brain cells would believe this shit. But they do. And they still do. Boggles my mind. Smh 🤦🏻♀️
The power to decide who leads us must belong ONLY to the American people. Period.
I really liked your sentence "It’s always been about them and their unwillingness to do the one thing they would have to do to defeat him: offer the people something better." 100% agree with you!
You know... I still go back to everything, but the raid on Mar-A-Lago really sharpened my focus even further. From the Xiden admin authorizing 'deadly force' during the raid.

Think about that. That and all the BULLSHIT WE have dealt with for TEN years now(60 years, prolly).
It is going to sound hyperbolic, but Sasha and many of you all, have gone through a form of what the Signers went through:

Superb recollection that many of us former lefties (I am Australian) or Democrats and a chronology of how and when we walked away. I did when Sanders capitulated at the 2016 Convention having bet $7000 on him becoming the nominee, that is how invested I was.
I became a Trumper after watching the Al Smith charity dinner roast in November 2016.
I have never looked back.
I appreciate your encyclopaedic article that ought form the basis of one of many future Ph.Ds.
