Leave flags at half-mast in honor of President Carter. Biden gave his order. Trump and Moses Mike can just continue to whine!! Screw them!

Expand full comment

Many MM posts agreed that Jummy Carter would approve of flying the flag upside down. The country is in a state of distress. Moses Mike proves again he is a traitor for raising the flag.

Thank you for making this free. I am on a fixed income and I can’t subscribe to every podcast. Everyone wants you to subscribe. I don’t think it’s very fair to us who are on fixed incomes and can’t do that.

Agree! I live only on social security and every single substack I get (free) asks to upgrade to paid at least 3 times in one post. And being reminded you're missing out for not forking over $$$ is making me feel like I'm being treated like the underdog ... very MAGA.

Same here

I am the same, but, I can't do what I can't do. I share, like, comment on whatever I can read or listen to. Why does it bother you? I'm honestly curious!

Everything you can do to amplify the message is helpful. Likes, comments, sharing. They are all important. The asks aren't personal - they are even in the content where I've upgraded to paid. I think one way to push mainstream

Media to report the truth is for them to see the viewers/consumers get their news from other sources. If you can choose to pay for one, I recommend it. If not, that's fine. Do what you can to engage with their content. We all can engage in whatever way works for us. Eyes forward!

I may just continue to fly my flag at half mast from 12:00 pm on Jan. 20 2025 until DJT leaves office or the Democrats retake the presidency which ever happens first. (So if JDV takes over because DJT dies in office…)

Hopefully it proves non-confrontational in my red neighborhood.

Does it matter if it does? Do you still care for the red and their damage to the country?

They are the neighbors. Thankfully I won’t be here much longer.

Half-staff, dammit. A mast is on a ship. A staff is on the ground or a building. This is one of my many pet peeves.

Another former Navy? 🥰 I was a Wave... way back when! 😉🤗

Expand full comment

No, not a Navy veteran. I was an editor for 45 years…and widow of a writer and military historian who was the son of a career U.S. Air Corps/Force pilot. My husband was an admirer of Waves and other women who served, especially in that era. He interviewed several. Our daughters were named for early aviatrixes. I guess I do feel attached to the military in my own way. I’m very grateful for your service.

Sorry Mary for the spelling slip. Being a Coastie mom. That meaning, my son served in the US Coast Guard therefore I slipped

Expand full comment

No offense taken. Many people don’t differentiate between staff and mast. I do take offense when journalists get this wrong. It’s sloppy writing and editing. Tell your Coast Guard offspring thanks for serving!

Mary. Tks for the reply. Do agree about journalists getting it correct but I do like to keep learning myself as well. Together with sharp minds!

These confirmation hearings are a who's who of bottom of the barrel wood scrapings.

As far as Jimmy Carter is concerned, the disrespect is intentional. Trump doesn't want to cede a bit of his spotlight to someone who built a legacy on character and service. The funeral was less about a celebration of life, and more about court intrigue and posturing. It's all a dance except in this case, it's a massive game of chicken.

We have had a preponderance of evidence. We all know that the crimes are extensive. There's not going to be a panacea where all of the sudden this new evidence is suddenly going to be a dagger. The fact of the matter is that those in power know he's guilty, they just don't care.

I think these reports are so damning that people are falling on their axes to keep it from coming out. There are so many people in leadership who have skeletons and it's obvious that blackmail is heavily in play. Everyone is so busy trying to protect their image that they are willing to sell out the entire country rather than admitting their complicity.

Expand full comment

Their way of protecting their image by destroying the country is more damaging to it.

Exercises in futility are just another facet of "bread and circuses." Keep the masses busy and spinning out while selling them down the river for 30 pieces of silver.

When we hide from taking responsibility for our actions we unwittingly sign ourselves up to be owned.

That operative word about casting. Trump can't function without a full staff. His whole persona is dependent on Hollywood magic. The potential incoming cabinet is made up of yes men who all have something that Trump wants. He's not in this for governance he's in it to be the prom king. No one likes Trump. He has nothing to offer and he's as insecure as it gets. He's dumb as a rock and he's painfully aware of his deficiencies. But with Hollywood magic, he can pretend. It's so pathetic because the only friends he has are through fear and avarice. His cabinet picks are nerds doing the prom king's homework so they can get a seat at the lunch table.

I appreciate all the updates, but surely more could be done before 2029. Like get him out of office before then. It seems our country is being held for random for the next 4 miserable years. I'm really losing hope and faith for our country and all of us that didn't vote for him. Our country is an embarrassment to the world. Then the countries with a authoritarian government is praising him. Maybe not publicly but I'm sure there are conversations between Trump and those leaders. I never ever thought I would ever see such a person elected for president and so many that are brainwashed cult members. Inside I'm brokenhearted, baffled and confused trying to figure out how we got in such a situation. Only God can help us now I believe. 💔🤔😪

How did we get here? I think Elon Musk has the answer, that the Americans are too dumb and we need more immigrants, poof: the election of a convicted criminal to lead the once most powerful country in the world by a majority of Americans.

Good point.

If Biden gave out some pocket pardons, do those have to be made public until they need to use?

Morons elected Biff as President. Pass it on.

Expand full comment

Yeah, Elon Musk said it, Americans (the majority who elected Trump) are too dumb to manage the work of the country and we should therefore be allowing more immigrants to do the important work.

Couldn’t Joe Biden make Garland release the second report? We all know Trump will issue pardons

Expand full comment

The US justice system is so corrupt it is sickening. Garland is corrupt or incompetent, the Supreme Court is full of corruption, Cannon is obvious corrupt. There simply does not seem to be a legal peaceful.way to take our country. Jack Smith was the only bright spot in this entire thing. We need more Jack Smiths and fewer Cannons and Garland.

I think all US flags should be hung upside down as long as the orange thing occupies the White House. It signifies severe distress.
