I remember when I had to look up the term FAFO. I thought wow what a good acronym.
The cult part of MAGA will never leave Trump. Because they’re a cult. The more the, I will call them republican MAGAs, hurt, the sooner we will get somewhere. They have to get burnt enough to learn a lesson. But my oh my, do I feel sorry for the innocents who are suffering because of their stupidity. I personally have no idea how much I’ve lost because frankly, I’m afraid to look.
Same here - afraid to look...and he LOVES the fact that the entire world is talking about him. He doesn't even care that it is all negative. Of course, we know that he is never wrong. And he has had these tariff beliefs for thirty years. Will anything change his mind?
Joni, you're right about the MAGA cult faithful. They will rationalize whatever their Dear Leader does. In November they complained about inflation and now they are saying "well, we'll just have ride out the pain of higher prices." It's irrational but it's like a lover who only sees their beloved through rose-tinted glasses. In this case, it's oranged-tinted glasses.
Sorta like an abused spouse. Cut them off from their family and friends, tell them no one will believe you against me, you’ll never make it without me. Etc. 👹
I’m compelled to look every day (my personality) and I’ve lost quite a bit. I’m still okay though and I worry so much about others. What he is doing is wrong on so many levels!
It is premature for Democrats to be jumping for joy of course. Our great leaders like Schumer seem to be looking for new ways to make us lose. The sooner we can get Berniecrats like AOC and Jasmine into leadership roles the sooner we can pull out our dancing shoes.
Seeing a post from God always brightens my day—which is not a sentence I ever thought I’d see coming from my fingertips. Keep smiting those who reject your gifts of empathy and critical thinking!
The problem is, the 25th Amendment won't really help:
Section 1 is in case of removal (i.e., REAL IMPEACHMENT) or death of the President.
Section 2 talks about the President filling any holes in the Vice President position, like when Nixon dealt with Agnew, and fortunately got in Ford before he resigned.
Section 3 is up to the President to determine whether or not he can do the job. I think Nixon used that to resign. It's up to the President to decide when he leaves and if/when he can come back. The whole amendment was put in because of Wilson having a stroke in office without dying. X-P
Section 4 is up to the Vice President (which is unlikely, though Vance could be ambitious) and the Cabinet to get rid of the dude they worship and pulled strings to get them cushy government jobs. No help there unless Vance is REALLY ambitious.
But the President can still come back with, "No, I'm fine, let me back in now." Congress (2/3rds of Congress) could, ostensibly, tell him, "No, you're not; get out, asshole!" but that's not likely before the midterms.
And whatever happened, we'd still probably have to put up with Vance. Thankfully, he's not nearly as charismatic; unhappily, he's even more pliant than Trump to anyone who likes plying. X-P
I really don't give one good goddamn if Republicans lose their entire retirement savings in a tanking stock market.
Non-Republicans: yes, I care. A lot, actually. And I will do everything I possibly can to help people who didn't vote for Trump who are losing their retirement.
But Trump voters? If they end up penniless, and homeless, and out on the streets, and sick, and friendless -- well: WOMP, WOMP. You got what you paid for.
The thing about all of this is Trump basically told everyone he was going to tank the economy. But, hubris being what it is, the Oligarchs thought that they could control him with donations (bribes). What they didn't realize is that you can't control crazy. Trump is demented and has dementia. That's a dangerous combination. I hope they all lose so much wealth they will be forced to live like normal people who are getting the worst of all of this.
He isn’t demented. He’s mean, cruel and infantile. And very dumb. Fixated on very stupid ideas. The last two traits are what makes him unable to speak in intelligible sentences. He is crazy in the vernacular sense, but it’s more long term personality traits. I’m a retired psychiatric nurse and have worked with lots of dementia patients. He isn’t there yet. 👹
My husband just said, "Rethuglicans are going to be so broke that they will have to rent the libs instead of owning them."

Behavioral psychology, 101: any attention is better than no attention.
The narcissist in him cares that the attention is negative, it probably fuels the hate and desire to hurt people.

I actually had to look it up - FAFO. how true

Our Trollfather which art on Substack
Schadenfruede be Thy Name
Give us this day our daily MAGA FAFO
And lead us not into complacency
But deliver us from fascism
For Thine is the kingdom of truth
The Power of Wit
And the glory of Sarcasm
For ever and ever.
Amen.
Thanks be to you. 😁👏
Hahaha, love it!
I need this cross stitched on a pillow.
A masterpiece!!! Thank you!
Portnoy is 'worth' $200m? It would take me multiple lifetimes to get that much cash. What is wrong with this country?
What is so fked-up is that even if he loses 99% of his money, he will still be rich, compared to everyone else.
And the Lord sayeth: "FAFO, morons."
And all said "Amen."
I have been MIA to try to retain my sanity. I have missed your words. I'm going to be going through your posted to read what I've missed.
Keep up the great work of bringing some light and sanity in this insane time!
Thank you! ❤️
Me, too. I just had to take a break for a while.

Adam Kinzinger said this morning that Elon just landed a six million dollar contract. Of our tax money. Six BILLION, that is. $6,000,000,000.
This pisses me off!
Better than 60 million, or 600 million...
Only $6 million? He makes more than that a day on his other contracts.
Must be nice... X-P
What would any of us do with $6 million/day, or a $6 billion contract? :-/
I'd like to think we'd fund charitable Trusts, libraries, schools, government departments, etc., etc., etc....
What does the Muskrat do? Probably buy more drugs. X-P
Please excuse me! It is 6 BILLION, not 6 million. I guess that I cannot think in billions. Millions seemed huge enough.
To paraphrase from the Austin Powers movies:
"[Mom], in this day and age, you gotta think bigger. Ask for a ransom of one /billion/, not /million/."
how sad

So, when does the impeachment hearings begin? How much proof do we need that he is in the throes of dementia?
Only when there are more dems in Congress than repubs
