Some of my neighbors are going to the No Kings rally near where I live. I just hope there won’t be any violence tomorrow. These people really are possessed. There is some kind of mental illness involved here that they cannot respect the fact that millions of people love Donald Trump, and that he was legitimately elected and has the right to be president for the rest of his term, assuming he stays healthy and capable. I don’t get the urgency that they seem to feel. They are convinced there’s some kind of three alarm fire but I don’t see it and obviously the 75 million people who voted for Trump don’t see it either. If you don’t like him, fine, but it’s gone way beyond simply not liking somebody to the point of some kind of pathological obsession, described as TDS. How can you be considered sane if you go around spitting on people? shooting them dead in the neck? Attacking them when they attend a political rally that they have every right to attend? How about knocking people’s hats off in the street? Not to mention the impeachments and the assassination attempts (we’ve had three— there was an English tourist who tried to grab a guard’s gun at one of the rallies.)
You know, there are millions of people who never felt like they fit in or were accepted. Maybe, they've had few friends.
When I was a teenager in jr. high, I ran in a group of about 20 kids. Everything was group think. When I was told a friend of mine hadn't been invited to a surprise birthday party "because she isn't one of us", it shocked me out of my cocoon. From that night on, I knew I had to change my ways.
I've written this before, but I'll write it again. Dr. Drew said that there are psychologists/psychiatrists who have practices specializing in TDS.
I find all of this to be much like what we went through with C-19.
My question is this: do the psychologists/psychiatrists who specialize in TDS try to heal their patients of this disordered thinking? Or are they recruiting more folks to have it?
They believe their job is to reinforce it. These people are truly insane. I have a PhD, and when I was in graduate school, I was in classes with these lemmings. A buddy of mine, a fellow conservative, and I would just sit amazed at the stupidity that came out of these peoples' mouths.
Anyone seeing a psychiatrist for anything is out of their mind (no pun). Psychiatry is a pseudoscience. Ever seen a (male) psychiatrist that you could admire as a man?
Totally agree. There might be a place for a psychiatrist, which is who can prescribe medication, if one is suffering from anxiety or depression which are treatable by a properly trained psychiatrist. My wife has had zero success with any psychologist and their "talk therapy". It is a waste. They are never going to find anything about you you don't already know. Worse, they can stir up memories carefully suppressed to protect life.
Yes, it's a combination of coursework and writing the dissertation. In my program, it was about two years of courses in research methods, seminars, etc., and then a couple of years of research and writing for the dissertation. I went full-time and was able to finish in a little less than four years by going summers.
Intersectional psychology aims to increase the understanding of how we are shaped by the interaction of different factors and that these occur within connected systems and structures of power.
The complaints of the Left are not about Trump. He is just the pinata of the day. That is why this is a global protest. It is about the Western value system in place since the Reformation in the 1700s that is how we got the American Constitution, the ideals of our individual freedoms and capitalism as our economic system. The Left rejects all of that, everywhere, and seeks to embrace the many-times-failed Communist system. It sounds easy and good and it has been too long since its last major failure in World War 2 for people to remember the outcome of that social and economic system, which kills millions to achieve its objectives. We are destined to repeat history. We never learn.
Esp since these protestors have been taught a completely false narrative about history, socialism and communism....of course history will repeat itself.
The “three alarm fires” that we DO have are ones that they conveniently ignore: the debt they ran up during Covid, the inability of working families to cope with the high costs of living, excess immigration, the criminals taking over our cities, the weakening of our police forces, our younger generation handicapped by medical interventions and poor schooling etc.
All alarms are related. COVID was a convenient excuse to experiment with communism (top down social control and handing out of money to placate the people). Printing money to hand out results in inflation and causes businesses to fail thereby causing families to cope with a high cost of living. The riots caused by the Democrats' totalitarian regime caused the police forces to push back and therefore gain the animosity of the same Left that wants security forces under their own control to enforce the restrictions of their Communist regime. All things are related.
Stone forgot to mention disturbing, outrageous things Trump has done since he won a second term. Here are a few of them:
Saying he intends to be president after 2028.
ICE – rounding up thousands of people here illegally with no regard to whether they have committed other crimes in the US and shipping them to a brutal prison in El Salvador or even Africa. Trump even wants President Bukele to build more prisons for US citizens.
Conducting a military style raid using armed federal agents rappelling from helicopters onto the roof of a five-story building in Chicago. The agents worked their way through the building, kicking down doors and throwing flash bang grenades, rounding up adults and screaming children alike, detaining them in zip-ties and arresting dozens. When is he going to declare martial law?
Using the military to invade US cities to “crush violent radical left terrorism.” He claims Portland is a "burning hellhole," with "premeditated anarchy that has scarred the city for years" pointing to videos from the BLM protests in the summer of 2020 which ended at the end of the summer and have not been repeated. BTW, no buildings in Portland were burned down in 2020 although there were garbage can fires in the streets. The BLM protests were in the response to the death of George Floyd by a police officer kneeling on his neck while he was on his belly with hands behind his back unable to inflate his lungs, which followed in the wake of well publicized murders of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.
Hegseth: Whitewashing the Pentagon database in the name of removing DEI even trying to eliminate black Medal of Honor winners. Gathering all the generals together for a giant photo op as he preached to them about their hair and weight and proclaimed that the US military is no longer bound by any standards of decency in warfare.
RFK, Jr: Appointing this crackpot as head of DHS who wants to do away with vaccines (Trump just had his flu and Covid vaccine in his health check-up), defund cancer and other medical research. He supposedly wants to change unhealthy habits of Americans in diet and lifestyle although Republicans ridiculed and despised Michelle Obama when she tried the same thing.
The shutdown: Spouting constant lies about the US providing illegal immigrants with free medical care to justify the government shutdown. Vance claims most of the people treated in ERs are illegals blocking Americans’ access to treatment. Under Reagan, the US passed a law that ERs are required to stabilize anyone who comes to the hospital with a life threatening condition so we do not allow people to die in the street in front of hospitals who cannot afford care as in third-world countries. Other than that, the US does not spend federal funds on health care for illegals, although the Mega bill would eliminate heath insurance for thousands of US citizens.
DOJ: Using the DOJ to attack his political enemies. Today his press secretary Leavitt said, “The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." Sounds like HRC's "deplorables moment.
It's interesting you bring up ICE. Let me tell you what happened a mile from us. An illegal had come into the country through the TX border twice. On his third trip, he was in CA living in a homeless camp one mile from where we live. I got an urgent alert on my phone. The woman told neighbors on Nextdoor that her nanny and 2 young kids were being stalked by a guy on a bike and there were videos of him. Neighbors scared him away and cops were calls. Cops are city, do arrests, then take them to the county jail. The county REFUSED to notify ICE and released him back into our neighborhood. A very, very few months later, he broke into a woman's home (a mile from us), didn't just kill her in her bed with a knife, but came very close to decapitating her. Her son had to leave his home in another city to ID her body; the murder caused her mom to have a stroke. When the local news reported the murder they didn't call him a migrant, illegal migrant or even homeless. They called him a CAMPER. IF the county had done their job, that woman would be alive today.
Did you have a problem when Clinton was deporting so many, even if they had a green card?? My partner almost got caught up in that. Clinton said, even if they had a green card, people can be deported. We immediately went to the Federal bldg, stood for hours,,and she did what she had to do to become a full-fledged US citizen.
I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but your hatred for Trump is lost on me. None of this would be going on if ICE would be able to do their job according to the immigration laws that have been on the books ever since Clinton. I KNOW. We LIVED it!!
Yikes, awful. The Democrats anger is misplaced, they should direct it towards the Biden administration, who is responsible for this mess. They invited millions of people to come here and gave them false hopes that it would all work out. Even Bill Clinton said this level of illegal immigration is destabilizing.
It was even worse, in my opinion. It's one thing to do something without knowing the ramifications, but idiots Biden and Harris KNEW what they were doing. In fact, Harris has said being illegal isn't a crime. It was even quoted in archived newspapers I'm privileged to read..ALL of this lies squarely on their shoulders.
In high school, we had a teacher who let kids do, and act, however they wanted to be. The teacher got sick and had to take a leave the rest of the year. We got a new teacher and the kids hated her because she was having us follow the rules, behave, and not go rogue. She was one of the teachers I ended up admiring and learning from her.
One tiny correction...biden did not know what he was doing. He was an empty suit from day one, doing what he was told. I wonder who was in charge? If it was the 20-something DEI hires, that would explain a lot. But we know there was a puppet master...guess who it was
Joe Biden was a zombie that the Obama team could control and endorse all the crazy ideas that Obama and his academic theorists had for America. Obama wanted to make America in his father's image, that of a communist and Muslim society. Much was done by Obama to undermine the American experiment in personal freedom and independence. We may not be able to get the genie back in the bottle
A perfect example of what's happening now. Democrats have refused to enforce morals, ethics or laws. And now that we have a president and his staff who have rules and requirements, some people, including the Pentagon media arm, act like spoiled children. Veruca Salt is an apt comparison.
Exactly! It's like this. Kids give their mommies a rough time while daddy is at work. Daddy comes home and everything changes, because a more grown up person has entered the home who has rules.
Electoral college math and Congressional apportionment are based on the "whole number of persons" present in each state. Gerrymandering at the national level requires bodies from somewhere. To get them just advertise "sanctuary."
Yes. It looks awful on the screen, but illegal is illegal and that's all there is to it. There have been sweeps of illegals for all my adult life; I'd come to work at the restaurant and all the busboys would be gone. Three weeks later, they'd be back (ha ha). Took a bus over the border, ICE got on and took people off.
And why does the US owe the world "a better life," that we have to pay for by sitting for hours waiting to be seen in an ER crammed to the gills with illegal immigrants, only to be turned away because we don't have insurance?
I was sent to ER once by a doctor. The wait was never more than an hour for anyone I knew. My partner and I sat there for FIVE hours?? Why? Parents (legal or not) brought their kids to ER for a colds. Oh, we did have to wait because someone was brought in because they were shot by a gang member....
Let me tell you about my partner. She worked for an electronics firm for 25 years. She was best friends with the assistant to the manager and she was told things. My partner would tell me this (this was during Clinton). It was "illegal" to hire illegals, but this firm did it anyway. My partner would come home and say (more than once), "I haven't been seeing Jose Gomez for a couple of weeks and thought he quit. He came back today with a totally different name." I watched and listened carefully. I said, "They are going to let you and others go so they can hire more illegals for less money." She didn't believe me. No more than 2 weeks later that is exactly what they did.
Oh yes, absolutely. And guess who sucks up all of our tax money with their shootings, and setting their apartments aflame, and all manner of incapacity to live peacefully...
Meanwhile, I have a friend who's living in constant pain, needs treatment just to stand up and load her father into his wheelchair....and the insurance company responds that it's not necessary...
And literally, any time I visited an ER, it was overwhelmed with people who are not FROM HERE.
After retiring, I did a TON of things to our home....plumbing, etc. I was at Home Depot at least 4 times a day/night and loved it. I decided to work at HD part-time. One of THE best places to find illegals is that they sit on the curb of the parts of the parking lot and ask for work.
I have asked this of people who complain about ICE picking up so many people at a time: "Have you ever gone fishing? If so, did you cast your line in a lake where there were few fish or in a stream where there were a lot of fish?" They'd answer, "Where there were a lot of fish." I say, "There ya go."
When Dallas NGO's brought in illegal aliens from Venezuela they put them in a suburban far north Dallas apartment complex. Having not be vetted TdA was embedded and proceeded to terrorize people with break ins, beatings, car thefts and stashing junked cars along suburban streets, some near schools. As a result long time residents moved, homelessness increased and illegal noisy parking lot parties went on all night scaring shop owners into moving as well. The legacy has been multiple food trucks all selling the same food at the same intersection-most likely without health permits.
Sweatshops are not uncommon means of human trafficking. This is how those who cannot afford the passage cartels charge, which is in the thousands of dollars. Human trafficking takes other forms. Dallas police broke up some "tub clubs" in Koreatown that were cover for prostitution using girls, some underage, from Asia. Many of them came via Canada on a visitors visa and overstayed. Same result. Employers need to have more skin in the game. The riot that started in LA was caused when the SEIU union boss sounded an alarm. At some point this union is making money from the companies that hire illegal immigrants for lower than union scale under the table. That raid, incidentally was not by ICE but by the IRS for failure to file employment taxes and social security. And that is what is happening in many industries-the employers make more because they don't have to pay their legal share into these programs. There should be jail time for this.
Exactly right! Remember the "farmers"'Newsom was trying to protect? I delved into the pit farms. On at least 2 occasions, the farms donated $1,250 to him. I'm positive there was more, but I had the info I needed..
I had no idea it was the IRS. Very interesting. SEIU is all over CA.
Well, tell that to Kamala. She doesn't believe it. It took us TEN YEARS to undo some of the things she didTO CA.
I have followed her career ever since she became a DA in San Francisco. I literally know more about her than she knows about herself and mine are all facts...if you ever have an opportunity to watch the debate between Biden, Harris and Tulsi, everything Tulsi said came from me. I gave her a LOT of info that no one could refute. She was flawless in her execution. Kamala's campaign imploded, no donations and she dropped out..I did even more this last election. I actually went after her and Walz. I had so much info on Walz (with proof) I posted that he was began being investigated as a CCP operative and a possible National security risk.
The irony is that what the Left wants makes every American poorer by sharing the "pot". This happens overtly, by cramming more people into schools, housing and hospitals. Food is more expensive because there are more mouths to feed with a fixed food supply. It also happens covertly by creating the main force of the inflation we have contended with the past several years. Giving people, and illegal immigrants, money and other resources, comes at the expense of printing, or devaluing, the currency. That means everything costs more in dollar terms because so many more people are getting dollars without commensurate increases in production. It is basic economics. Now, the Left protests the very higher living costs their policies have created. Electing Mamdani will just double down on making things more expensive in New York City. People should be required to take economics to become American citizens and vote
I was teaching in San Antonio in the barrio in the mid-late 80's. The authorities would come into the school and take the children who were her illegally and no one blinked.
Yes, ICE practices now-however distasteful-are the same of those of its predecessor, INS for the past 30 years at least. They have always had an “efficient“ approach to getting out illegal immigrants. It’s just now that those practices are getting scrutinized as though they were new.
EXACTLY!! But things have ramped up like nothing else ever has. It's this doxxing bit., The ONLY reason they want masks off is to get their photos, names, etc., to dox them by learning their addresses. Some of these ICE can't even go home to their wives/husbands/kids now.
Let's start here. Did you have a problem with Obama when he said he'd be up for a third term if he could be in his sweats with an earpiece in his ear dictate what he wanted to have done.
NW is not a "troll." She presents another point of view that we should consider. and then duly respond to. She is not trying to "troll" (or irritate for the sake of irritation) us.
Still clinging to the desperately hopeless wet dream that is hAtE TrUmP? Perhaps you should have spent more time actually knowing what you're talking about before unloading the usual, predictable, desperate screed regurgitated ad nauseum by a psychotic, out of touch Democrat party that is too stupid to comprehend how truly embarrassing their toddlerism has become. Time for a diaper change.
Do people here illegally have a legal right to remain? Put another way why shouldn't those here illegally be deported? Why were the borders opened in the first place?
What exactly makes a person MAGA?
What is worse: a person who voted for trump or a person who supports hamas? How many in the streets today support hamas and hate israel. Same question for all who will vote Mamdani.
Do you view yourself first and foremost are citizen of the US or a citizen of the world.
If you proclaim you love america please explain why and if so do you view America as systemically racist and if so how could you love America ( if it were systemically racist i would not love it nor would many here)
Are the Palestinians systemic jew haters?
These are the kinds of questions and feelings those of us ask and have who will be enjoying our weekends without all the performative theater ( much of which is being financed by the usual america hating subjects).
Some Palestinians are Jew haters and if you were aware of why you probably wouldn't blame them. I know a few Palestinians and my take is the Jews in the U.S. are nothing like the Jews in Israel. The Israeli Jews in general are violent or support violence toward Arabs. I met a fellow years ago in Barcelona from Israel and he called himself a liberal Jew. Maybe by Israeli standards he was but he reminded me of my parents generation in the 1960's discussing how to deal with the ni**ers. I don't think older Americans understand the reality in Israel.
NW, While I’m not a doctor, it’s pretty clear you have a raging case of TDS. Gotta remember that hate will consume your soul if you allow it to fester. Get help.
Been trying to convince my wife who is a psychotherapist to figure out how to treat people like NW who desparately need help but are so convinced they are right and know it all. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect in it's full glory; clear evidence of mass formation psychosis. People with the weakest of minds who are so easily manipulated by dark powerful forces. These ARE the people who were the pathetic followers who gave us the 20th century's worst killers, Stalin, Mao, Hitler. Hitler got elected because of these ignorant followers were so easily seduced by the lies of the left and then followed the lead in hating the jews. It wasn't the guy at the top, it was the lack of critical thinking in minds like NW's that have given us history's worst. Fools.
I suggest you put the blame where it belongs. It lies squarely on the shoulders of Biden and border czar Harris. When Trump was elected, there were 450,000 missing children and 100,000+ missing women being raped, killed and trafficked from the open border. They even had them flown in under the cover of darkness. We even had them coming in by bus late at night, dropped off in neighborhoods 3-4 miles from us, and let out into neighborhoods.
You might be interested to know this. I know 4 illegals and they each have children. They are exploited by lower wages, paid less under the table, and couldn't complain if they got hurt because they were illegal. You'll love this part. Every single one of them have said they would vote for TRUMP if they could. I explained to them what they had to do to become legal and they did it.
...two things stand out in your list of grievances ... one you acknowledge the crossing of a sovereign nation's border without documentation is illegal ... this is a crime against all citizens ... what should be the appropriate action? ... is there a permissible number of additional crimes, in your view?
Secondly, you allege the POTUS is using the DOJ to attack political enemies. ... should the DOJ be restrained in pursuing those who have committed crimes against the American people because of a perception of political identity? ...
Let me address things you have written as I have time.
"The shutdown: Spouting constant lies about the US providing illegal immigrants with free medical care to justify the government shutdown."
First, SCHUMER caused the shutdown of the government. Reps had to have 60 votes. 2 Dems agreed to keeping the gov't open, but not enough votes. Have you ever read the list of what Dems are wanting?? Even YOU wouldn't want them them. Add $1.5 TRILLION to the debt??
If you don't believe illegals get free housing, food, healthcare, MONEY, and FAR more FREE things than we legal Californians get, then you really need to come live in CA for a year to experience it for yourself.
Portland: I have been to Oregon and Portland more times than I can count. I have family living there and tell me their firsthand stories. These anarchists....yes, anarchists .... sleep during the day and come out at night. They have done it for months. Portland residents have been getting SICK of it. And, yes, police officers were told to stand down. You weren't there and neither was I, but my cousin WAS and IS..
Long before RFK Jr came on the scene, my partner was diagnosed with GERD. Since it can be treated by staying away from different foods and chemicals, we trusted the doctor. I researched every single thing in canned and packaged food.....you name it, I researched it BIG time....and was horrified in what I was finding. Did you know there are people who are being treated for cancer and the very treatments they're given can CAUSE cancer???
When RFK Jr. came along, I found in my own in-depth research exactly what he was saying. RFK Jr. has said repeatedly he wants to give parents information, then have them discuss options with THEIR doctor.
Back to my partner. As it turned out, she didn't have GERD. She had cancer and died a few weeks later.
I work in close association with physicians. They believe what they are told by the CDC, AMA, NEJM, etc., and their patients believe what their physicians tell them. Those who spread lies and harm people for profit need to face justice.
Here's what I say. Fauci should be tried and convicted for crimes against humanity. Everything he said were lied, except for, quote, "Masks don't work, but they make us feel good."
I taught high school for a long time. You'd be shocked at the caliber of students who said they wanted to go into medicine. It wasn't about empathy, making the world better or even the science, it's all about the money. Fast forward to today and I can't get my doctor to see me. Instead I'm shuffled off to PA's or NP's. Getting a prescription refilled is a pain and trying to find a new doctor on Medicare is increasingly difficult as even the doctors on the official website are no longer accepting patients. For years I endured bad doctors-one time even having whooping cough to the extent I broke two ribs coughing and having it dismissed as a cold by a doctor. She was wrong. Other doctors denied I had a thyroid issue despite a strong family history. When one finally believed me, my thyroid had become a toxic nodule of 72 oz. (no joke, the surgeon wrote an article about it) wrapped around my trachea and esophagus and heading for my aorta. Doctors ignore women, they ignore the elderly and they often ignore parents who are far more in tune with their kids than a pediatrician who sees them twice a year. Doctors are too stuck of diagnosis scripts produced by insurance liability companies to avoid lawsuits, not keep people healthy.
I smiled when I read this. Let me give you some fact. (I watched all of this in real time.)"BTW, no buildings in Portland were burned down in 2020 although there were garbage can fires in the streets" Let me give you a timeline.,
Monday, July 20th violent anarchists targeted the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and federal law enforcement officers in Portland. Attacks on federal personnel and property over the previous several days had included violent attacks on federal officers with weapons as well as efforts to start fires at the Hatfield Federal Courthouse with federal law enforcement officers inside the building. The rioting continued through Monday, when seven individuals were arrested on suspicion of federal crimes including assaulting federal officers.
Monday, July 20 – Tuesday, July 21:
Approximately 75-100 peaceful individuals protested near the Hatfield Federal Courthouse Monday evening. Those individuals departed the area around 11 p.m. without incident. Shortly thereafter, over 1,000 people surrounded the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and began removing plywood coverings on the windows meant to protect the building and the federal officers inside, and then attempted to throw objects – some of them incendiary – through the windows at the officers.
Rioters in the crowd were kicking the doors of the federal courthouse, vandalizing the building with spray paint and blocking adjacent intersections.
Federal officers responded to this assault by deploying pepper balls and tear gas. Rioters continued their assault, throwing canned food rocks, and other projectiles at the officers.
At approximately 12:20 local time, more rioters attempted to break into the courthouse, tearing down plywood and breaking a window in the process.
FPS and DHS officers put out several fires that had been lit in the vicinity, including one at the building.
When officers responded to put out these fires, glass bottles were thrown and lasers – which can cause permanent blindness – were shined in their eyes. Pepper balls were again deployed in response to the assault.
One individual was also seen taking pictures of a water intake system to the Edith Green Federal Building, which is also under FPS protection. Earlier in the evening, a Twitter user tweeted “So we can shut off the water to the buildings the feds are staying in to make it a nightmare for them.”
Seven arrests were made total, two were for assaults on federal officers and five for noncompliance with lawful directions. One of the federal officers assaulted is a member of the Federal Protective Service, the other is a member of the U.S Marshals Service. Another federal officer was injured when he was struck by a glass bottle thrown by rioters.
Previous Days:
July 19-20. Violence/Vandalism and Attempted Arson on Federal Property in Portland:
Again, violent anarchists tore down the perimeter fencing around the Hatfield Federal Courthouse.
The crowd grew to an estimated 1,000.
Red, green and purple lasers – which can cause permanent blindness – were aimed by rioters at federal officers through the courthouse doors while one group used a strobe light on the building. Violent anarchists attacked the building and the officers inside by throwing heavy objects and launching fireworks at the building. A commercial-grade mortar firework was fired in the vicinity of the Hatfield Courthouse front doors.
These incendiary fireworks were launched at the courthouse at the same time that rioters had barricaded the front entrance of the Courthouse with sections of the torn down fence, potentially trapping federal officers inside.
In order to protect themselves and their fellow officers, law enforcement used pepper balls to disperse the violent crowd.
An individual was taken into custody on suspicion of arson and trespassing for lighting a fire in the plaza of the Hatfield Federal Courthouse. DHS Officers extinguished the fire and the individual is pending charges..
Violent anarchists targeted surveillance cameras around the Hatfield Courthouse, rendering them inoperable.
The U.S. Marshals Service reported communications jamming last night, which may have caused significant problems with their radio communications. This was the first reported instance of jamming since the riots have started.
July 18-19. Violence/Defacing of Government Property in Portland:
ACBP Officer was injured when he was struck with a projectile from a suspected “wrist rocket” causing a laceration requiring sutures to his leg.
Violent anarchists tore down newly erected fence protecting the Hatfield Federal Courthouse. The city fencing was also removed from the city parks that have been used as a staging area for the violent crowds.
A bomb squad had to be called in after Federal Protective Service reported a suspicious device located in front of the Hatfield Courthouse, described as a small device tied to the fence line by a white rope. Agents determined the device was an armed, commercially available smoke signaling device. It was rendered safe and removed.
A second device found to have damaged the plywood attached to the Hatfield Courthouse door. This device was analyzed and determined to be a commercially available pyrotechnic, which could have caused a fire inside of the federal building.
I assume you’ll be leading a no kings rally today? Just be sure to tell people that no you don’t have rabies, your foaming at the mouth is only because of your insane hatred.
Well, I see where you need to know some truths. I'm a 2nd gen CA and never left. Take notes.
In California, undocumented immigrants can access state-funded programs like Medi-Cal for health care (with some recent changes for adults), the Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) for low-income, aged, blind, or disabled individuals, and emergency disaster relief. They can also receive benefits like WIC and school meals through their children, and students are eligible for state aid and in-state tuition. In addition, undocumented workers can receive paid leave and disability benefits regardless of their immigration status.
Health care
Medi-Cal: Children (0-18) and pregnant individuals are eligible for full Medi-Cal coverage regardless of immigration status.
Emergency Medical Treatment: Undocumented immigrants are eligible for emergency medical treatment, regardless of immigration status, through the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).

Enjoy your TDS party at No Kings. We live in reality. You are welcome to join us. Perhaps you can be the one to found the 12 step TDS treatment program. But for now you have a way to go.
And look at this dem’s lack vision piece written by a dem.
They really live in an alternate universe and they really cannot imagine that Trump supporters actually exist and *egad* they actually know how to use the internet and they can defend themselves online
...they have become the party of no expectations ... they indulge themselves in revisionist history ... what can possibly be more indicative of an aristocratic elite party than being told who the designated heir is and acquiescing your vote? ...
I'm gonna sum it up here, this current term is the closest the Demoncats will ever get to a majority and power again. Once the Supreme Court rules racially gerrymandered voting districts are unconstitutional, they lose seats in the House forever. Once red states finish redrawing districts, they lose seats. Once the new ACCURATE census comes out that does not count illegals for voting purposes, and they correct the over count for Blue states, and the under count for Red states they lose not only House seats, but electoral college votes. The movement to Red states from Blue states will only accelerate from the election of more radical communist types like Moran Mandami. I don't see how they ever return to power in the foreseeable future. The pendulum may swing back to them, but not in my lifetime. In fact, it's not close to swinging away from them yet.
The "No KIngs" pantomines are a 24 alarm fire for the vacuous participants. They march because their homes are burning. The Palisades destruction is the metaphor for all that's gone wrong with the entitled and incompetent elected officlas and sympathetic bureaucarts in governements run by Castroites, democrats, leftists amd Marxists. When "No Kings" disintegrates into nothingness, the result may ultimately be about the renewing effect of a fire that had no borders.
In some form, I suspect those Congress critters and their supporters are paying a lot of the protesters, and the rest of them are dumb enough to think that democrat politicians really give a shit about trans rights, the climate, and Trump actually being a fascist dictator. In short, they are being paid and/or they are stupid.
I literally laughed out loud at this and now my cat is wondering what the heck I'm laughing at? Her??
"Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up." IT'S TRUE!
I remind people, "We haven't been under a king's rule ever since July 4, 1776. In fact, we even have a Federal holiday celebrating it."
To be honest, I find Dems to be SO (literally) crazy now that I just ignore them as if I'm working in an asylum and get to leave soon. I feel like patting them on the head and saying, "Ok, dear."
I am so grateful for John Fetterman. So glad he won the Senate seat. Dr. Oz still got a great job, he is Director of Medicare and Medicaid, which is a perfect job for him. John Fetterman does think for himself. It reminds me of Joe Manchin before. He was a great Democratic Senator who thought for himself and often he was the only voice of reason in their crazy party.
Dems are trying to oust him now. Who knew it would take a stroke to bring him to his senses. It kind of makes me wonder if someone was drugging him before.
I live in Lindstrom, MN and went to the 20 person 'No Kings' rally in June and asked them about the upcoming true No King day on July 4th. They responded "We hate Trump".
I still think Obama is a proven communist and I never, ever did something like this. Derangement.
Exactly... Kamala is also a Obama protege' from when she entered politics in the early 2000s. She would have done his bidding. I am sure he was greatly disappointed by her performance
Sasha, truly a stellar performance. Your voice had an uncharacteristic feistiness--a sort of aggitated exasperation at the endless tantrums of the left. That Varuca Salt joke was spot on. I laughed out loud. You are the best.
Sasha, if you don't read and follow Ruy Teixeira, I think you would like him. He's a PhD political scientist who used to be with the Center for Progress but now is at the American Enterprise Institute. A Democrat, he agrees the party has abandoned the working class in favor of the Woke crap of the progressives. Like you he says they have to get over their obsession with Trump to win.
Oppose Trump but that cannot be the entire agenda. What about healthcare, wages of the poor working class, heck bring up ending switching clocks back and forth a real health issue for MAHA. They have to push agenda not just be 100% opposition.
Have you ever actually met someone who was denied healthcare, turned away at a hospital? If that person exists, he/she would be an MSNBC 24/7 celebrity.
I'm a Boomer, turned 78 today. A few of my fellow members of the class of 1965 might attend these stupid rallies, but most of us are just staggered by the depth of the dumbth of these people.
Happy Birthday! You’re at the top end of the boomers, I’m in the middle and dare I say middle and the last of the boomers have serious TDS. 10-20 more years of prosperous parents? Were we that spoiled? Just enough time after the war to see and expect an easier life? Apathy was strong. Vietnam had some impact and a few wore those bracelets but then the draft ended, the war was over and we went to college. Easy peasy. All anyone worried about was scab lettuce and Cesar Chavez, and it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Then we got jobs and went on with our lives. I have to say, I didn’t have much growing up so when the recession of the 80’s hit it was no big deal. We soldiered on. Kids today don’t soldier on. Oh god, now I sound like a boomer! 🤣
After all this rambling I still don’t understand TDS. Kids I grew up with are idiots! I need to focus on those of us who aren’t.
Looking at my own peers, it seems that the ones from wealthy families (compared to mine) are the most delusional. I think Rob Henderson nailed it in his book "Troubled".
The projection is strong with these lunatics – and there is no longer a lunatic fringe of the Democrat party, it is now the fabric.
"Strong" isn't even close to being the proper term, because the left's projection is an all-consuming, all-encompassing force that engulfs and devours its adherents; then it expectorates them back as human automatons devoid of the ability to reason, or think critically. They can only react emotionally to the stimulus identified by their masters in the legacy corporate synchronised media.
...undoubtably, legacy media will cover this collection of people ad nauseum ... but I will look at it as the greatest collection of people who did not fully participate in the democratic process ... patting themselves on the back for being loyal to the aristocrats ... hypocrisy in action ...
"Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up. " Well said--I did a literal LOL upon reading that.
Some of my neighbors are going to the No Kings rally near where I live. I just hope there won’t be any violence tomorrow. These people really are possessed. There is some kind of mental illness involved here that they cannot respect the fact that millions of people love Donald Trump, and that he was legitimately elected and has the right to be president for the rest of his term, assuming he stays healthy and capable. I don’t get the urgency that they seem to feel. They are convinced there’s some kind of three alarm fire but I don’t see it and obviously the 75 million people who voted for Trump don’t see it either. If you don’t like him, fine, but it’s gone way beyond simply not liking somebody to the point of some kind of pathological obsession, described as TDS. How can you be considered sane if you go around spitting on people? shooting them dead in the neck? Attacking them when they attend a political rally that they have every right to attend? How about knocking people’s hats off in the street? Not to mention the impeachments and the assassination attempts (we’ve had three— there was an English tourist who tried to grab a guard’s gun at one of the rallies.)
They have become what they claim to hate.
If "We like your work"?
Sasha, we LOVE you and your work❕️🇺🇲💯
You know, there are millions of people who never felt like they fit in or were accepted. Maybe, they've had few friends.
When I was a teenager in jr. high, I ran in a group of about 20 kids. Everything was group think. When I was told a friend of mine hadn't been invited to a surprise birthday party "because she isn't one of us", it shocked me out of my cocoon. From that night on, I knew I had to change my ways.
I've written this before, but I'll write it again. Dr. Drew said that there are psychologists/psychiatrists who have practices specializing in TDS.
I find all of this to be much like what we went through with C-19.
My question is this: do the psychologists/psychiatrists who specialize in TDS try to heal their patients of this disordered thinking? Or are they recruiting more folks to have it?
They believe their job is to reinforce it. These people are truly insane. I have a PhD, and when I was in graduate school, I was in classes with these lemmings. A buddy of mine, a fellow conservative, and I would just sit amazed at the stupidity that came out of these peoples' mouths.
That is what i suspected...similar to gender "affirming" care.
Anyone seeing a psychiatrist for anything is out of their mind (no pun). Psychiatry is a pseudoscience. Ever seen a (male) psychiatrist that you could admire as a man?
Totally agree. There might be a place for a psychiatrist, which is who can prescribe medication, if one is suffering from anxiety or depression which are treatable by a properly trained psychiatrist. My wife has had zero success with any psychologist and their "talk therapy". It is a waste. They are never going to find anything about you you don't already know. Worse, they can stir up memories carefully suppressed to protect life.
Rosie O'Donnell's therapist told her she needed to move on from her TDS! So there's one who didn't reinforce.
Do PhD candidates even attend "classes"? I thought it was all personal research and working with mentors to write a doctorate thesis paper
Yes, it's a combination of coursework and writing the dissertation. In my program, it was about two years of courses in research methods, seminars, etc., and then a couple of years of research and writing for the dissertation. I went full-time and was able to finish in a little less than four years by going summers.
The dissertation is the final component after two or three years of advanced coursework.
Intersectional psychology aims to increase the understanding of how we are shaped by the interaction of different factors and that these occur within connected systems and structures of power.
Voila, it's all Trump's fault!
It's a mind virus that is spreading worldwide, particularly recently in canada
The complaints of the Left are not about Trump. He is just the pinata of the day. That is why this is a global protest. It is about the Western value system in place since the Reformation in the 1700s that is how we got the American Constitution, the ideals of our individual freedoms and capitalism as our economic system. The Left rejects all of that, everywhere, and seeks to embrace the many-times-failed Communist system. It sounds easy and good and it has been too long since its last major failure in World War 2 for people to remember the outcome of that social and economic system, which kills millions to achieve its objectives. We are destined to repeat history. We never learn.
Esp since these protestors have been taught a completely false narrative about history, socialism and communism....of course history will repeat itself.
It's a retraining of the brain kind of thing. Dr. Drew told all about it.
I might have to look that up, possibly YouTube?
Why would they heal them and lose their income. Obviously you don’t under how therapy works.
Yeah...no kidding
The latter.
The “three alarm fires” that we DO have are ones that they conveniently ignore: the debt they ran up during Covid, the inability of working families to cope with the high costs of living, excess immigration, the criminals taking over our cities, the weakening of our police forces, our younger generation handicapped by medical interventions and poor schooling etc.
All alarms are related. COVID was a convenient excuse to experiment with communism (top down social control and handing out of money to placate the people). Printing money to hand out results in inflation and causes businesses to fail thereby causing families to cope with a high cost of living. The riots caused by the Democrats' totalitarian regime caused the police forces to push back and therefore gain the animosity of the same Left that wants security forces under their own control to enforce the restrictions of their Communist regime. All things are related.
Stone forgot to mention disturbing, outrageous things Trump has done since he won a second term. Here are a few of them:
Saying he intends to be president after 2028.
ICE – rounding up thousands of people here illegally with no regard to whether they have committed other crimes in the US and shipping them to a brutal prison in El Salvador or even Africa. Trump even wants President Bukele to build more prisons for US citizens.
Conducting a military style raid using armed federal agents rappelling from helicopters onto the roof of a five-story building in Chicago. The agents worked their way through the building, kicking down doors and throwing flash bang grenades, rounding up adults and screaming children alike, detaining them in zip-ties and arresting dozens. When is he going to declare martial law?
Using the military to invade US cities to “crush violent radical left terrorism.” He claims Portland is a "burning hellhole," with "premeditated anarchy that has scarred the city for years" pointing to videos from the BLM protests in the summer of 2020 which ended at the end of the summer and have not been repeated. BTW, no buildings in Portland were burned down in 2020 although there were garbage can fires in the streets. The BLM protests were in the response to the death of George Floyd by a police officer kneeling on his neck while he was on his belly with hands behind his back unable to inflate his lungs, which followed in the wake of well publicized murders of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.
Hegseth: Whitewashing the Pentagon database in the name of removing DEI even trying to eliminate black Medal of Honor winners. Gathering all the generals together for a giant photo op as he preached to them about their hair and weight and proclaimed that the US military is no longer bound by any standards of decency in warfare.
RFK, Jr: Appointing this crackpot as head of DHS who wants to do away with vaccines (Trump just had his flu and Covid vaccine in his health check-up), defund cancer and other medical research. He supposedly wants to change unhealthy habits of Americans in diet and lifestyle although Republicans ridiculed and despised Michelle Obama when she tried the same thing.
The shutdown: Spouting constant lies about the US providing illegal immigrants with free medical care to justify the government shutdown. Vance claims most of the people treated in ERs are illegals blocking Americans’ access to treatment. Under Reagan, the US passed a law that ERs are required to stabilize anyone who comes to the hospital with a life threatening condition so we do not allow people to die in the street in front of hospitals who cannot afford care as in third-world countries. Other than that, the US does not spend federal funds on health care for illegals, although the Mega bill would eliminate heath insurance for thousands of US citizens.
DOJ: Using the DOJ to attack his political enemies. Today his press secretary Leavitt said, “The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." Sounds like HRC's "deplorables moment.
It's interesting you bring up ICE. Let me tell you what happened a mile from us. An illegal had come into the country through the TX border twice. On his third trip, he was in CA living in a homeless camp one mile from where we live. I got an urgent alert on my phone. The woman told neighbors on Nextdoor that her nanny and 2 young kids were being stalked by a guy on a bike and there were videos of him. Neighbors scared him away and cops were calls. Cops are city, do arrests, then take them to the county jail. The county REFUSED to notify ICE and released him back into our neighborhood. A very, very few months later, he broke into a woman's home (a mile from us), didn't just kill her in her bed with a knife, but came very close to decapitating her. Her son had to leave his home in another city to ID her body; the murder caused her mom to have a stroke. When the local news reported the murder they didn't call him a migrant, illegal migrant or even homeless. They called him a CAMPER. IF the county had done their job, that woman would be alive today.
Did you have a problem when Clinton was deporting so many, even if they had a green card?? My partner almost got caught up in that. Clinton said, even if they had a green card, people can be deported. We immediately went to the Federal bldg, stood for hours,,and she did what she had to do to become a full-fledged US citizen.
I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but your hatred for Trump is lost on me. None of this would be going on if ICE would be able to do their job according to the immigration laws that have been on the books ever since Clinton. I KNOW. We LIVED it!!
Yikes, awful. The Democrats anger is misplaced, they should direct it towards the Biden administration, who is responsible for this mess. They invited millions of people to come here and gave them false hopes that it would all work out. Even Bill Clinton said this level of illegal immigration is destabilizing.
It was even worse, in my opinion. It's one thing to do something without knowing the ramifications, but idiots Biden and Harris KNEW what they were doing. In fact, Harris has said being illegal isn't a crime. It was even quoted in archived newspapers I'm privileged to read..ALL of this lies squarely on their shoulders.
In high school, we had a teacher who let kids do, and act, however they wanted to be. The teacher got sick and had to take a leave the rest of the year. We got a new teacher and the kids hated her because she was having us follow the rules, behave, and not go rogue. She was one of the teachers I ended up admiring and learning from her.
One tiny correction...biden did not know what he was doing. He was an empty suit from day one, doing what he was told. I wonder who was in charge? If it was the 20-something DEI hires, that would explain a lot. But we know there was a puppet master...guess who it was
That was Obama's third term, and everyone ought to know it.
Joe Biden was a zombie that the Obama team could control and endorse all the crazy ideas that Obama and his academic theorists had for America. Obama wanted to make America in his father's image, that of a communist and Muslim society. Much was done by Obama to undermine the American experiment in personal freedom and independence. We may not be able to get the genie back in the bottle
My complaint is the media spins everything. It's like they are the propaganda ministry for the Democratic Party.
A perfect example of what's happening now. Democrats have refused to enforce morals, ethics or laws. And now that we have a president and his staff who have rules and requirements, some people, including the Pentagon media arm, act like spoiled children. Veruca Salt is an apt comparison.
Exactly! It's like this. Kids give their mommies a rough time while daddy is at work. Daddy comes home and everything changes, because a more grown up person has entered the home who has rules.
Electoral college math and Congressional apportionment are based on the "whole number of persons" present in each state. Gerrymandering at the national level requires bodies from somewhere. To get them just advertise "sanctuary."
I never thought of that, but you are right. Just say you are a sanctuary state.
Yes. It looks awful on the screen, but illegal is illegal and that's all there is to it. There have been sweeps of illegals for all my adult life; I'd come to work at the restaurant and all the busboys would be gone. Three weeks later, they'd be back (ha ha). Took a bus over the border, ICE got on and took people off.
And why does the US owe the world "a better life," that we have to pay for by sitting for hours waiting to be seen in an ER crammed to the gills with illegal immigrants, only to be turned away because we don't have insurance?
I was sent to ER once by a doctor. The wait was never more than an hour for anyone I knew. My partner and I sat there for FIVE hours?? Why? Parents (legal or not) brought their kids to ER for a colds. Oh, we did have to wait because someone was brought in because they were shot by a gang member....
Let me tell you about my partner. She worked for an electronics firm for 25 years. She was best friends with the assistant to the manager and she was told things. My partner would tell me this (this was during Clinton). It was "illegal" to hire illegals, but this firm did it anyway. My partner would come home and say (more than once), "I haven't been seeing Jose Gomez for a couple of weeks and thought he quit. He came back today with a totally different name." I watched and listened carefully. I said, "They are going to let you and others go so they can hire more illegals for less money." She didn't believe me. No more than 2 weeks later that is exactly what they did.
Oh yes, absolutely. And guess who sucks up all of our tax money with their shootings, and setting their apartments aflame, and all manner of incapacity to live peacefully...
Meanwhile, I have a friend who's living in constant pain, needs treatment just to stand up and load her father into his wheelchair....and the insurance company responds that it's not necessary...
And literally, any time I visited an ER, it was overwhelmed with people who are not FROM HERE.
After retiring, I did a TON of things to our home....plumbing, etc. I was at Home Depot at least 4 times a day/night and loved it. I decided to work at HD part-time. One of THE best places to find illegals is that they sit on the curb of the parts of the parking lot and ask for work.
I have asked this of people who complain about ICE picking up so many people at a time: "Have you ever gone fishing? If so, did you cast your line in a lake where there were few fish or in a stream where there were a lot of fish?" They'd answer, "Where there were a lot of fish." I say, "There ya go."
When Dallas NGO's brought in illegal aliens from Venezuela they put them in a suburban far north Dallas apartment complex. Having not be vetted TdA was embedded and proceeded to terrorize people with break ins, beatings, car thefts and stashing junked cars along suburban streets, some near schools. As a result long time residents moved, homelessness increased and illegal noisy parking lot parties went on all night scaring shop owners into moving as well. The legacy has been multiple food trucks all selling the same food at the same intersection-most likely without health permits.
Sweatshops are not uncommon means of human trafficking. This is how those who cannot afford the passage cartels charge, which is in the thousands of dollars. Human trafficking takes other forms. Dallas police broke up some "tub clubs" in Koreatown that were cover for prostitution using girls, some underage, from Asia. Many of them came via Canada on a visitors visa and overstayed. Same result. Employers need to have more skin in the game. The riot that started in LA was caused when the SEIU union boss sounded an alarm. At some point this union is making money from the companies that hire illegal immigrants for lower than union scale under the table. That raid, incidentally was not by ICE but by the IRS for failure to file employment taxes and social security. And that is what is happening in many industries-the employers make more because they don't have to pay their legal share into these programs. There should be jail time for this.
Exactly right! Remember the "farmers"'Newsom was trying to protect? I delved into the pit farms. On at least 2 occasions, the farms donated $1,250 to him. I'm positive there was more, but I had the info I needed..
I had no idea it was the IRS. Very interesting. SEIU is all over CA.
Just by crossing the border 'ILLEGALLY' is a Federal Crime! So if you crossed our order without permission/authorization that makes you a CRIMINAL.
Well, tell that to Kamala. She doesn't believe it. It took us TEN YEARS to undo some of the things she didTO CA.
I have followed her career ever since she became a DA in San Francisco. I literally know more about her than she knows about herself and mine are all facts...if you ever have an opportunity to watch the debate between Biden, Harris and Tulsi, everything Tulsi said came from me. I gave her a LOT of info that no one could refute. She was flawless in her execution. Kamala's campaign imploded, no donations and she dropped out..I did even more this last election. I actually went after her and Walz. I had so much info on Walz (with proof) I posted that he was began being investigated as a CCP operative and a possible National security risk.
The irony is that what the Left wants makes every American poorer by sharing the "pot". This happens overtly, by cramming more people into schools, housing and hospitals. Food is more expensive because there are more mouths to feed with a fixed food supply. It also happens covertly by creating the main force of the inflation we have contended with the past several years. Giving people, and illegal immigrants, money and other resources, comes at the expense of printing, or devaluing, the currency. That means everything costs more in dollar terms because so many more people are getting dollars without commensurate increases in production. It is basic economics. Now, the Left protests the very higher living costs their policies have created. Electing Mamdani will just double down on making things more expensive in New York City. People should be required to take economics to become American citizens and vote
I was teaching in San Antonio in the barrio in the mid-late 80's. The authorities would come into the school and take the children who were her illegally and no one blinked.
Yes, ICE practices now-however distasteful-are the same of those of its predecessor, INS for the past 30 years at least. They have always had an “efficient“ approach to getting out illegal immigrants. It’s just now that those practices are getting scrutinized as though they were new.
EXACTLY!! But things have ramped up like nothing else ever has. It's this doxxing bit., The ONLY reason they want masks off is to get their photos, names, etc., to dox them by learning their addresses. Some of these ICE can't even go home to their wives/husbands/kids now.
Well said...
"Saying he intends to be president after 2028."
Let's start here. Did you have a problem with Obama when he said he'd be up for a third term if he could be in his sweats with an earpiece in his ear dictate what he wanted to have done.
Please try to ignore this nwcitizen.
It's just a Troll
Agreed. But even if serious, it shows the left has absolutely no sense of humor.
NW is not a "troll." She presents another point of view that we should consider. and then duly respond to. She is not trying to "troll" (or irritate for the sake of irritation) us.
He did what he said he would do with the Biden Presidency.
Still clinging to the desperately hopeless wet dream that is hAtE TrUmP? Perhaps you should have spent more time actually knowing what you're talking about before unloading the usual, predictable, desperate screed regurgitated ad nauseum by a psychotic, out of touch Democrat party that is too stupid to comprehend how truly embarrassing their toddlerism has become. Time for a diaper change.
Do people here illegally have a legal right to remain? Put another way why shouldn't those here illegally be deported? Why were the borders opened in the first place?
What exactly makes a person MAGA?
What is worse: a person who voted for trump or a person who supports hamas? How many in the streets today support hamas and hate israel. Same question for all who will vote Mamdani.
Do you view yourself first and foremost are citizen of the US or a citizen of the world.
If you proclaim you love america please explain why and if so do you view America as systemically racist and if so how could you love America ( if it were systemically racist i would not love it nor would many here)
Are the Palestinians systemic jew haters?
These are the kinds of questions and feelings those of us ask and have who will be enjoying our weekends without all the performative theater ( much of which is being financed by the usual america hating subjects).
Some Palestinians are Jew haters and if you were aware of why you probably wouldn't blame them. I know a few Palestinians and my take is the Jews in the U.S. are nothing like the Jews in Israel. The Israeli Jews in general are violent or support violence toward Arabs. I met a fellow years ago in Barcelona from Israel and he called himself a liberal Jew. Maybe by Israeli standards he was but he reminded me of my parents generation in the 1960's discussing how to deal with the ni**ers. I don't think older Americans understand the reality in Israel.
NW, While I’m not a doctor, it’s pretty clear you have a raging case of TDS. Gotta remember that hate will consume your soul if you allow it to fester. Get help.
Been trying to convince my wife who is a psychotherapist to figure out how to treat people like NW who desparately need help but are so convinced they are right and know it all. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect in it's full glory; clear evidence of mass formation psychosis. People with the weakest of minds who are so easily manipulated by dark powerful forces. These ARE the people who were the pathetic followers who gave us the 20th century's worst killers, Stalin, Mao, Hitler. Hitler got elected because of these ignorant followers were so easily seduced by the lies of the left and then followed the lead in hating the jews. It wasn't the guy at the top, it was the lack of critical thinking in minds like NW's that have given us history's worst. Fools.
Hitler was never elected.
I suggest you put the blame where it belongs. It lies squarely on the shoulders of Biden and border czar Harris. When Trump was elected, there were 450,000 missing children and 100,000+ missing women being raped, killed and trafficked from the open border. They even had them flown in under the cover of darkness. We even had them coming in by bus late at night, dropped off in neighborhoods 3-4 miles from us, and let out into neighborhoods.
You might be interested to know this. I know 4 illegals and they each have children. They are exploited by lower wages, paid less under the table, and couldn't complain if they got hurt because they were illegal. You'll love this part. Every single one of them have said they would vote for TRUMP if they could. I explained to them what they had to do to become legal and they did it.
Wow! How do you find the time? Get a life.
For your own good. Get a life!
...two things stand out in your list of grievances ... one you acknowledge the crossing of a sovereign nation's border without documentation is illegal ... this is a crime against all citizens ... what should be the appropriate action? ... is there a permissible number of additional crimes, in your view?
Secondly, you allege the POTUS is using the DOJ to attack political enemies. ... should the DOJ be restrained in pursuing those who have committed crimes against the American people because of a perception of political identity? ...
Let me address things you have written as I have time.
"The shutdown: Spouting constant lies about the US providing illegal immigrants with free medical care to justify the government shutdown."
First, SCHUMER caused the shutdown of the government. Reps had to have 60 votes. 2 Dems agreed to keeping the gov't open, but not enough votes. Have you ever read the list of what Dems are wanting?? Even YOU wouldn't want them them. Add $1.5 TRILLION to the debt??
If you don't believe illegals get free housing, food, healthcare, MONEY, and FAR more FREE things than we legal Californians get, then you really need to come live in CA for a year to experience it for yourself.
Portland: I have been to Oregon and Portland more times than I can count. I have family living there and tell me their firsthand stories. These anarchists....yes, anarchists .... sleep during the day and come out at night. They have done it for months. Portland residents have been getting SICK of it. And, yes, police officers were told to stand down. You weren't there and neither was I, but my cousin WAS and IS..
Long before RFK Jr came on the scene, my partner was diagnosed with GERD. Since it can be treated by staying away from different foods and chemicals, we trusted the doctor. I researched every single thing in canned and packaged food.....you name it, I researched it BIG time....and was horrified in what I was finding. Did you know there are people who are being treated for cancer and the very treatments they're given can CAUSE cancer???
When RFK Jr. came along, I found in my own in-depth research exactly what he was saying. RFK Jr. has said repeatedly he wants to give parents information, then have them discuss options with THEIR doctor.
Back to my partner. As it turned out, she didn't have GERD. She had cancer and died a few weeks later.
I'm sorry.
I work in close association with physicians. They believe what they are told by the CDC, AMA, NEJM, etc., and their patients believe what their physicians tell them. Those who spread lies and harm people for profit need to face justice.
Here's what I say. Fauci should be tried and convicted for crimes against humanity. Everything he said were lied, except for, quote, "Masks don't work, but they make us feel good."
I am so sorry. Cancer sucks.
I taught high school for a long time. You'd be shocked at the caliber of students who said they wanted to go into medicine. It wasn't about empathy, making the world better or even the science, it's all about the money. Fast forward to today and I can't get my doctor to see me. Instead I'm shuffled off to PA's or NP's. Getting a prescription refilled is a pain and trying to find a new doctor on Medicare is increasingly difficult as even the doctors on the official website are no longer accepting patients. For years I endured bad doctors-one time even having whooping cough to the extent I broke two ribs coughing and having it dismissed as a cold by a doctor. She was wrong. Other doctors denied I had a thyroid issue despite a strong family history. When one finally believed me, my thyroid had become a toxic nodule of 72 oz. (no joke, the surgeon wrote an article about it) wrapped around my trachea and esophagus and heading for my aorta. Doctors ignore women, they ignore the elderly and they often ignore parents who are far more in tune with their kids than a pediatrician who sees them twice a year. Doctors are too stuck of diagnosis scripts produced by insurance liability companies to avoid lawsuits, not keep people healthy.
I smiled when I read this. Let me give you some fact. (I watched all of this in real time.)"BTW, no buildings in Portland were burned down in 2020 although there were garbage can fires in the streets" Let me give you a timeline.,
Monday, July 20th violent anarchists targeted the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and federal law enforcement officers in Portland. Attacks on federal personnel and property over the previous several days had included violent attacks on federal officers with weapons as well as efforts to start fires at the Hatfield Federal Courthouse with federal law enforcement officers inside the building. The rioting continued through Monday, when seven individuals were arrested on suspicion of federal crimes including assaulting federal officers.
Monday, July 20 – Tuesday, July 21:
Approximately 75-100 peaceful individuals protested near the Hatfield Federal Courthouse Monday evening. Those individuals departed the area around 11 p.m. without incident. Shortly thereafter, over 1,000 people surrounded the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and began removing plywood coverings on the windows meant to protect the building and the federal officers inside, and then attempted to throw objects – some of them incendiary – through the windows at the officers.
Rioters in the crowd were kicking the doors of the federal courthouse, vandalizing the building with spray paint and blocking adjacent intersections.
Federal officers responded to this assault by deploying pepper balls and tear gas. Rioters continued their assault, throwing canned food rocks, and other projectiles at the officers.
At approximately 12:20 local time, more rioters attempted to break into the courthouse, tearing down plywood and breaking a window in the process.
FPS and DHS officers put out several fires that had been lit in the vicinity, including one at the building.
When officers responded to put out these fires, glass bottles were thrown and lasers – which can cause permanent blindness – were shined in their eyes. Pepper balls were again deployed in response to the assault.
One individual was also seen taking pictures of a water intake system to the Edith Green Federal Building, which is also under FPS protection. Earlier in the evening, a Twitter user tweeted “So we can shut off the water to the buildings the feds are staying in to make it a nightmare for them.”
Seven arrests were made total, two were for assaults on federal officers and five for noncompliance with lawful directions. One of the federal officers assaulted is a member of the Federal Protective Service, the other is a member of the U.S Marshals Service. Another federal officer was injured when he was struck by a glass bottle thrown by rioters.
Previous Days:
July 19-20. Violence/Vandalism and Attempted Arson on Federal Property in Portland:
Again, violent anarchists tore down the perimeter fencing around the Hatfield Federal Courthouse.
The crowd grew to an estimated 1,000.
Red, green and purple lasers – which can cause permanent blindness – were aimed by rioters at federal officers through the courthouse doors while one group used a strobe light on the building. Violent anarchists attacked the building and the officers inside by throwing heavy objects and launching fireworks at the building. A commercial-grade mortar firework was fired in the vicinity of the Hatfield Courthouse front doors.
These incendiary fireworks were launched at the courthouse at the same time that rioters had barricaded the front entrance of the Courthouse with sections of the torn down fence, potentially trapping federal officers inside.
In order to protect themselves and their fellow officers, law enforcement used pepper balls to disperse the violent crowd.
An individual was taken into custody on suspicion of arson and trespassing for lighting a fire in the plaza of the Hatfield Federal Courthouse. DHS Officers extinguished the fire and the individual is pending charges..
Violent anarchists targeted surveillance cameras around the Hatfield Courthouse, rendering them inoperable.
The U.S. Marshals Service reported communications jamming last night, which may have caused significant problems with their radio communications. This was the first reported instance of jamming since the riots have started.
July 18-19. Violence/Defacing of Government Property in Portland:
ACBP Officer was injured when he was struck with a projectile from a suspected “wrist rocket” causing a laceration requiring sutures to his leg.
Violent anarchists tore down newly erected fence protecting the Hatfield Federal Courthouse. The city fencing was also removed from the city parks that have been used as a staging area for the violent crowds.
A bomb squad had to be called in after Federal Protective Service reported a suspicious device located in front of the Hatfield Courthouse, described as a small device tied to the fence line by a white rope. Agents determined the device was an armed, commercially available smoke signaling device. It was rendered safe and removed.
A second device found to have damaged the plywood attached to the Hatfield Courthouse door. This device was analyzed and determined to be a commercially available pyrotechnic, which could have caused a fire inside of the federal building.
I assume you’ll be leading a no kings rally today? Just be sure to tell people that no you don’t have rabies, your foaming at the mouth is only because of your insane hatred.
On its face, there are eight blatant lies in your misunderstanding of President Trump's achievements to date. Do you want to know the truth?
Don’t bother. You’ll just be wasting bytes
Well, I see where you need to know some truths. I'm a 2nd gen CA and never left. Take notes.
In California, undocumented immigrants can access state-funded programs like Medi-Cal for health care (with some recent changes for adults), the Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) for low-income, aged, blind, or disabled individuals, and emergency disaster relief. They can also receive benefits like WIC and school meals through their children, and students are eligible for state aid and in-state tuition. In addition, undocumented workers can receive paid leave and disability benefits regardless of their immigration status.
Health care
Medi-Cal: Children (0-18) and pregnant individuals are eligible for full Medi-Cal coverage regardless of immigration status.
Emergency Medical Treatment: Undocumented immigrants are eligible for emergency medical treatment, regardless of immigration status, through the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).
WIC: Eligible for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.
Food assistance
CalFresh: Eligible to apply for children who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
School Meals: Eligible for free and reduced-cost school meals regardless of immigration status.
Social services
CAPI: A state-funded program that provides cash assistance to low-income elderly, blind, or disabled immigrants who are not eligible for SSI/SSP due to their immigration status.
Disability Insurance and Paid Family Leave: Eligible workers can apply for partial pay during a period of disability or to care for a family member.
Education
AB 540: Undocumented students can be exempted from paying non-resident tuition and can apply for state financial aid at public and private colleges.
State Aid: Eligible for state financial aid to help cover tuition, rent, and other costs.
Other benefits
Emergency Disaster Relief: Available to all residents, regardless of immigration status, in the event of a natural disaster.
Tax Credits: Many tax credits are not restricted by immigration status.
That list explains why CA is hemorrhaging taxpaying citizens.
CA is NOT a "business friendly " state whatsoever. There are SO many regulations it's crazy..
NWCitizen, I think you are getting too much of your so-called "news" from places like CNN, MSNBC, BBC, PBS, CBS, ABC. NY Times....
Enjoy your TDS party at No Kings. We live in reality. You are welcome to join us. Perhaps you can be the one to found the 12 step TDS treatment program. But for now you have a way to go.
And look at this dem’s lack vision piece written by a dem.

They really live in an alternate universe and they really cannot imagine that Trump supporters actually exist and *egad* they actually know how to use the internet and they can defend themselves online
Pray, pray, pray!
Health is no longer a requirement of our President apparently....
You KNOW there WILL be – but only from themselves TOWARD themselves in an attempt to frame any counter-protesters.
...they have become the party of no expectations ... they indulge themselves in revisionist history ... what can possibly be more indicative of an aristocratic elite party than being told who the designated heir is and acquiescing your vote? ...
I am going to a No Kings rally in a town north of Sacramento, Ca. I am curious as to what these LUNATICS have to protest about.
Unless you are bored I don't see the point. Cultists are unreachable.
I'm gonna sum it up here, this current term is the closest the Demoncats will ever get to a majority and power again. Once the Supreme Court rules racially gerrymandered voting districts are unconstitutional, they lose seats in the House forever. Once red states finish redrawing districts, they lose seats. Once the new ACCURATE census comes out that does not count illegals for voting purposes, and they correct the over count for Blue states, and the under count for Red states they lose not only House seats, but electoral college votes. The movement to Red states from Blue states will only accelerate from the election of more radical communist types like Moran Mandami. I don't see how they ever return to power in the foreseeable future. The pendulum may swing back to them, but not in my lifetime. In fact, it's not close to swinging away from them yet.
The "No KIngs" pantomines are a 24 alarm fire for the vacuous participants. They march because their homes are burning. The Palisades destruction is the metaphor for all that's gone wrong with the entitled and incompetent elected officlas and sympathetic bureaucarts in governements run by Castroites, democrats, leftists amd Marxists. When "No Kings" disintegrates into nothingness, the result may ultimately be about the renewing effect of a fire that had no borders.
Why can’t these protesters see that the real kings are in Congress, enriching themselves on the taxpayer, living the rich life no average American could afford: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/no-more-kings?r=76q58
The rich men north of Richmond.
In some form, I suspect those Congress critters and their supporters are paying a lot of the protesters, and the rest of them are dumb enough to think that democrat politicians really give a shit about trans rights, the climate, and Trump actually being a fascist dictator. In short, they are being paid and/or they are stupid.
I literally laughed out loud at this and now my cat is wondering what the heck I'm laughing at? Her??
"Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up." IT'S TRUE!
I remind people, "We haven't been under a king's rule ever since July 4, 1776. In fact, we even have a Federal holiday celebrating it."
To be honest, I find Dems to be SO (literally) crazy now that I just ignore them as if I'm working in an asylum and get to leave soon. I feel like patting them on the head and saying, "Ok, dear."
I laughed out loud at that line too. Classic!
The crazies are going to a No Kings march.
We are going to a college football game.
Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up.
Priceless Sasha.
This all became pathological the day the Obama-Biden Administration thought it was okay to spy on the Trump campaign.
I am so grateful for John Fetterman. So glad he won the Senate seat. Dr. Oz still got a great job, he is Director of Medicare and Medicaid, which is a perfect job for him. John Fetterman does think for himself. It reminds me of Joe Manchin before. He was a great Democratic Senator who thought for himself and often he was the only voice of reason in their crazy party.
Dems are trying to oust him now. Who knew it would take a stroke to bring him to his senses. It kind of makes me wonder if someone was drugging him before.
Thank you Sasha. My wife is going to this protest. I won’t and I get into discussions about this waste of time.
I used to like Jean Smart...
I live in Lindstrom, MN and went to the 20 person 'No Kings' rally in June and asked them about the upcoming true No King day on July 4th. They responded "We hate Trump".
I still think Obama is a proven communist and I never, ever did something like this. Derangement.
While they say "No Kings" what they are really protesting is that their Pharoah, whom they worship as a god, didn’t get a fourth term
Exactly... Kamala is also a Obama protege' from when she entered politics in the early 2000s. She would have done his bidding. I am sure he was greatly disappointed by her performance
Sasha, truly a stellar performance. Your voice had an uncharacteristic feistiness--a sort of aggitated exasperation at the endless tantrums of the left. That Varuca Salt joke was spot on. I laughed out loud. You are the best.
Yes.
Sasha, if you don't read and follow Ruy Teixeira, I think you would like him. He's a PhD political scientist who used to be with the Center for Progress but now is at the American Enterprise Institute. A Democrat, he agrees the party has abandoned the working class in favor of the Woke crap of the progressives. Like you he says they have to get over their obsession with Trump to win.
Absolutely! His latest article has the dem’s “Doomsday chart” because they are so out of step with the concerns of normal Americans.

Here it is! Delightful reading.
Ruy Texiera is great but the others in TLP not so much. It would be nice if he went full Sasha.
Oppose Trump but that cannot be the entire agenda. What about healthcare, wages of the poor working class, heck bring up ending switching clocks back and forth a real health issue for MAHA. They have to push agenda not just be 100% opposition.
Have you ever actually met someone who was denied healthcare, turned away at a hospital? If that person exists, he/she would be an MSNBC 24/7 celebrity.
Yea you are not denied by enjoy that lifetime of bills and no you cannot chapter 32 end debt it GOP ended that.
Go tell them!
But then you'd be the guy unwelcome in both parties.
I am unwelcome by the elites in the democrats not the in general party
July 4th is the real No Kings day.
I'm a Boomer, turned 78 today. A few of my fellow members of the class of 1965 might attend these stupid rallies, but most of us are just staggered by the depth of the dumbth of these people.
Happy Birthday! You’re at the top end of the boomers, I’m in the middle and dare I say middle and the last of the boomers have serious TDS. 10-20 more years of prosperous parents? Were we that spoiled? Just enough time after the war to see and expect an easier life? Apathy was strong. Vietnam had some impact and a few wore those bracelets but then the draft ended, the war was over and we went to college. Easy peasy. All anyone worried about was scab lettuce and Cesar Chavez, and it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Then we got jobs and went on with our lives. I have to say, I didn’t have much growing up so when the recession of the 80’s hit it was no big deal. We soldiered on. Kids today don’t soldier on. Oh god, now I sound like a boomer! 🤣
After all this rambling I still don’t understand TDS. Kids I grew up with are idiots! I need to focus on those of us who aren’t.
Looking at my own peers, it seems that the ones from wealthy families (compared to mine) are the most delusional. I think Rob Henderson nailed it in his book "Troubled".
Thanks, I’ll have to check that out. My husband always says ‘they can afford to be liberal’.
The projection is strong with these lunatics – and there is no longer a lunatic fringe of the Democrat party, it is now the fabric.
"Strong" isn't even close to being the proper term, because the left's projection is an all-consuming, all-encompassing force that engulfs and devours its adherents; then it expectorates them back as human automatons devoid of the ability to reason, or think critically. They can only react emotionally to the stimulus identified by their masters in the legacy corporate synchronised media.
...undoubtably, legacy media will cover this collection of people ad nauseum ... but I will look at it as the greatest collection of people who did not fully participate in the democratic process ... patting themselves on the back for being loyal to the aristocrats ... hypocrisy in action ...
"Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up. " Well said--I did a literal LOL upon reading that.
Copy that. A pip of a couple of sentences,, If I have ever read any!
