Yes, this all infuriates me. But I'm most angry at its normalization. The MAGAts have a stake in nodding along, even using these fantasies as "talking points." (Watch Comment Sections everywhere repeating this craziness) But there ARE intelligent Republicans in Congress & the Executive Branch (at least bright enough to know dementia when they hear it) -- their nodding & smiling is absolutely shocking. What are JD & Peter Theil thinking right now? Rand Paul? Hell, even Cancun Cruz KNOWS it for what it is. In some ways their lack of reaction is understandable -- they're very much "in on the grift," & probably feel like they'll keep their heads down until it resolves itself.

The "Legacy Media" deserves to die. The AP, The Guardian, Democracy Now, NPR are doing their jobs, but NOT A SINGLE NETWORK is calling this exactly what it is -- the rantings of the deranged. To even PRETEND this is "just another day in DC" is a complete falsehood -- and they know it.

Don't even get me started on the Democrats. In a few generations "Schumer" will have the same meaning as "Quisling." Jeffries' stunt should have taken place months ago. Again, the Dems could have SHUT DOWN the Senate! Then, at least, that bill would take an extra couple of months to squeak by. But there are WAAAAY too many "common ground," "compromise" Dem Senators. The GOP hasn't played the same game since New Gingrich, the people should have learned by now how to fight back. By default, as the electorate watches agape as Dems let themselves get steamrolled again, every voter is deciding the "leadership" is on the take like their GOP counterparts. Yes, there are a few fighters. We all know them: Crockett, AOC, Warren, Murphy, Bernie, but the vast majority are either wimps or traitors. And when you see what "leadership" did to David Hogg or what they're currently doing to Mandami, the obvious conclusion is Traitor.

I know I'm ranting, but it floors me how PARALYZED the entire country is in the face of watching the mental collapse of the most powerful person in the nation LIVE ON TV.

Wendy, thanks for laying this out as well as you do & I hope all of us can fight back hard. We might not win immediately, but we can ensure every one of their victories is a costly one.

Every emperor eventually forgets he's naked. What weโ€™re witnessing isnโ€™t politics, itโ€™s prophecy wearing a clown nose. The decay isnโ€™t just neurologicalโ€”itโ€™s moral, spiritual, civic. And yet the crowd still claps because they fear silence more than truth.

Your words scream the alarm with clarity that slices through the fog. Not everyone will hear itโ€”but some will wake up gasping, and thatโ€™s enough.

Keep the torch lit. We need all the sacred jesters we can get.
