When he said he knew because he had common sense I thought you have absolutely no common sense. Then the nerve of him blaming DEI was an insult to the intelligence of all involved in the crash while no one even knew what caused it. Saying they should have qualified highly intelligent people in positions 🙄, well you can imagine what I was saying about being qualified. The only ones that are not qualified or highly intelligent are the 3 that were speaking. It was even more painful watching Hegseth and Vance speak. They were worse than Drump. I thought if I was close enough I would have slapped them both. You expect Trump to say stupid things but something about the 2 others enraged me. I also noticed the evil and malice as Hegseth spoke which I would bet is withdrawal of alcohol. I knew many and as a nurse worked in D&A and the real monster comes out when they detox. Basically he's a dry drunk. He'll get worse before any sign of getting remotely better.

You gotta question the media's responsibility in what subject they discuss ... it's criminal to ignore all of these facts that I see on substack and instead peddle to the people in power >.<'

Yes, the billionaires bought up the media. It's been a propaganda mechanism for decades, but it's gotten a lot worse in the last few years. It's depressing. The media should be helping us and they're not.

Thanks for doing what needs doing, Walter. Recently, I was taken to task about my overuse of the word "shit" in one of my posts. Among other things, I called the then Criminal-Elect, now Criminal in Chief, a "lying piece of shit". Thinking the criticism might be valid, I reread the post. I used the word in question seven times. I decided all uses of the word were appropriate and in context. I also decided that I would stop calling him a piece of shit when he stopped being one. Based his disgusting response to the horrific aviation tragedy in Washington, that won't be happening any time soon.

Yeah, sometimes that strong language can't be avoided. People are dead, but the keyboard warriors are complaining about the use of a profanity. The world does not have its priorities straight.

This is exactly what someone posted after the election, that Trump would still be blaming the Democratic even though this is a direct result of his actions. How is that going to play a month, 6 months, a year from now? At some point there has to c9me a time where people blame the Republicans. They hold every branch of government. This is what having a scapegoat looks like.

We need to call this out and not let him have a pulpit to blame anyone but his administration

Republicans have to fix this mess. There aren't enough democrats in elected office to do it on their own.

Yes. We still have laws.

Unfortunately breaking laws doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Laws only apply to Democrats.

I feel that frustration too, but we have to hold on to hope that the law will prevail. the alternative is too terrible to consider.

Every day is more painful than the previous for me. Keeping it bottled up inside is agonizing, and talking about it makes me so angry. Reading my thoughts in your words helps release the tension in smaller bursts, which is helpful. Maybe not productive, but helpful - thanks!

Thanks for this post. It's important. It is clear to me that more people will die because of his policies. Did you see that today he asked several senior FBI leaders to resign, retire or be fired. Wonder what deaths that will lead to? https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/politics/senior-fbi-leaders-demoted-wray/index.html
