I don't disagree that convicted sexual predators should be expelled from their government positions but can we please start with Trump? The pearl clutching from the other side of the aisle is so transparent when they pointedly ignore the actual convictions of their beloved grifter.

I so agree. They are so fast to expel a member when a seven or more year old discrepancy is brought forward and we have a commander in chief who has done and is currently doing much worse.

It is never wrong to do what is right even if we are the only ones doing it...and a few repugs in it for their own self-aggrandizement.

Jane S.'s avatar

My point exactly.

Priscilla Martinez-Moskowitz's avatar

I agree 100%. The focus needs to be on getting Trump and his administration out of office. His latest post and meme is a bridge too far.

Jane S.'s avatar

I feel like we crossed that bridge a very long time ago -- one recent example: starting an unnecessary and unwinnable war with Iran.

Mark's avatar

Trump has crossed the line long ago. It’s just one more delusion added to what has happened.

Pasqual Allen's avatar

Exactly you said it perfectly.

Is it possible to NOT show photos or memes of trump anymore? He wants the attention. Don’t give it to him. Many of us are getting increasingly stressed and exhausted from this chaotic and truly insane news cycle even though we are trying to stay informed and motivated. Thank you.

Agree with this wholeheartedly. Minimize our exposure to these toxins to include only essential snippets. If Meidas folks quote trumps spewing, we don't need to see, hear, or smell him.

Frosty McGillicuddy's avatar

How I LONG for the day when I don't see his face or name again...

Linda Harris's avatar

I agree. I kept wondering if this outrageous post was just another deflection from Iran, Epstein etc. Attacking the Pope certainly took several people's minds off his illegal actions in the Strait of Hormuz.

I completely agree. Can’t stand his face 🤮

Orban’s loss was a huge lift of spirits for me because it portends a much better future for Hungary, Ukraine, the EU, and us. It is a true sign of Putin’s weakening and the weakening of Trump’s influence. We must take a lesson from how the opposition won and implement it in November.

Huge lift of spirits for sure!!!

This is a copy paste from Jessica craven Friday Substack post about item 6 of this post. She’s asking us to call Congress to tell them that a clean FISA renewal is extremely dangerous

“Please ask the Senator to vote no on a clean FISA renewal. We absolutely must close the “data broker” loophole. I am terrified of what will happen to our privacy if this corrupt and lawless administration unleashes AI on our data. The Senator should be deeply concerned, too. Please vote no on a clean reauthorization. Fix what’s wrong with FISA now! Thanks.”

Additionally She has a really good TikTok out there from 4 days ago.

Democrat!!!Connecticut!!!rep Jim Himes is pushing aggressively for no restrictions saying that he will be on top of it but Jessica says in Her TikTok that there would be no oversight due to defunded agencies

She says in her TikTok to call these people asap

Rep Adam Smith,WA - 202-225-8901

Hakeem Jeffries,NY - 202-225-5936

Dan Goldman,NY - 202-225-7944

Katherine Clark,MA - 202-225-2836

Rose DeLauro,CT - 202-225-3661

Pete Aguilar,CA -202-225-3201

Gregory Meeks,NY 202-225-3461

Per this TikTok Her suggested Script. “Vote NO on FISA reauthorization unless Congress Closes the data broker loophole and bans no-warrant surveillance”

I've not seen an investigation of Eric Swawell in any of the independent media that I follow. Given the reaction by his Democratic colleagues, I gather that it must be bad, but I would like to see the evidence so that I can judge for myself rather than just jumping on the bandwagon.

Marliss Desens's avatar

Thanks. I did look at the original San Francisco paper's reporting. One staffer, to whom Swalwell sent inappropriate pictures did go on record with her name, so that suggests he did engage in unethical behavior.

Linda Harris's avatar

CNN has verified at least one of the complaints. They have doctor's records. Also, 2 others had Snapchat texts and photos which have been produced now. Snapchat does delete frequently, but as most people know these days is if you put it out there, it is out there in one form or another and can usually be retrieved. Those other 2 also have family reports that the incidents were told to them but the young women were afraid to take it further.

Marliss Desens's avatar

Thanks for the additional information.

Linda Harris's avatar

Someone posted to me that he had made 2 donations to Swalwell and he called ActBlue and they requested that he leave a reason, he posted: I believe her. They refunded both of his donations immediately. He asked that his post be spread. So, I would guess by this that ActBlue (I have used them to donate myself) must have investigated.

Marliss Desens's avatar

Today's The Down Ballot on Substack does give a good overview of the evidence against Swalwell and why he has ended his run for governor. So much is going on that I only just got around to reading it.

PK's avatar

look up the San Francisco chronicle. Mrs Frazzled has been using her social media for some time. complaints about him started surfacing back in 2012. apparently its been commonly rumored for some Years. When there's multiple complaints, some verified, I broaden my media sources and believe the women. When several notable endorsements disappear, that generally means its bad.

James W's avatar

Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you show the WHOLE picture Trump posted? All we see is his face looking down. The full posting shows Trump healing a sick man! THIS IS BLASPHEMY COMING FROM THE DEMENTED FOOL IN THE OVAL OFFICE!

Barbara Kuvshinoff's avatar

While our politicians may appear sluggish on a Monday morning, you definitely are not. Big roundup of events, thank you.

James W's avatar

That image of Trump as Jesus should be subtitled “Orange Jesus raises Jeffrey Epstein from the Dead!”

patricia montague's avatar

That’s it! The meme of tRump as Jesus is too much … what an offensive creature.

Maybe all media should just boycott the moron. We the People will be better off completely missing out on his crazed antics. Thank you, please.

Steven Ferguson's avatar

tRump will burn in hell.

Steve's avatar

He is burning in hell of his own making.

Barbara Fairfax's avatar

Trump as Jesus is absolute repulsive!!!! I hope a whole bunch of “ undecideds” see that!

Karen's avatar

Appreciate you and your reporting

Melonia,,and predator Donald need feed to the lions.

Brwnigal's avatar

So if people are finally expelling sexual predators from government how can the hypocrisy of an actually convicted sex offender hold the office of president?

Cortese Nicholas's avatar

Trump is most like Judas, trading American Democracy and security for billions of pieces of silver. May he rot in jail!!

Love these Look Aheads.
