Never going to happen because the cowardly sycophants in the cabinet are incapable of standing up for our country.

Bonnie Council's avatar

Especial mealy Mike Johnson. They all have their heads in the sand, but he's looking at the fire and refusing to throw water on it. That's what is worse, IMHO.

This is all because of the people with the blue and white flag. Alot of our politicians are those people

I think if any of em could figure out how to throw Drümpf under the bus with impunity & no potential backlash from weaponized maggots with automatic guns: they'd totally turn on him IF they thought they'd benefit from it, or if they realized such a move might save their otherwise f'd a$$es 🧐🤬

how do we try to get some of them to read Miles' article? anyone on X or drümpf-social anonymously, who can DM it to Shady Couch or other cabinet o horrors? 🧐🤷🏻‍♀️

Igor, we need to expose his frontal lobe dementia, behavioral variant. We need to get it into the press and social media as far and as wide as possible. Expose his dementia ... we have all the examples we need. I don't do Facebook, but that would be a good place to start and then on X and Truth Social and everywhere. Get it so that everyone is talking about it, everyday and every hour.

igor isa🤘⚧️'s avatar

BAH, agreed! I also don't do any social media except substack. I have a YT account but the comments tend to be so crowded it's hard to get traction. i suggest you rewrite your comment as a question to Miles, and post it to @Mercedes in the defiance live chat today (5p ET). I have a doctors appointment so I may not make it myself, but if I arrive late I'll try to amplify the question as well 🤘🤓#GoTeamDefiance 🙏🏻❤️‍🔥‼️

I shared it on FB, which I'm still using now and then. Not sure how far it will go, but it was worth the shot. I refuse to use X or BS-social, so can't help there.

Bonnie Council's avatar

I was wondering the same thing. This needs to be sent directly to Vance somehow.

Rick Young's avatar

It's the way of a PSYCHOPATH & DICTATOR WANNABE. Also, he & his loyal GOP CULT of SYCOPHANTS see him as some sort of a god & will do, say & defend his every action. Being IMPEACHED & CAGED is the BEST answer.

Sad state of affairs.... having a system where the orange-faced lunatic would be replaced with a humanoid robot with beard and eyeliner paid for and owned by Thiel.

George in Atlanta's avatar

No. Sad is when your old dog dies. This is enraging. We've even starting getting past being 'afraid' because this is so 'dangerous'. If the meat-robot in question thinks he'll get anything resembling power out of any of this, it will be very mistaken. We know what it is, we'll be ready.

Marc Panaye's avatar

Same feeling across the ocean friend George.

I love the image you created... I need the laugh

Exactly, Marc! Well said!

"Will the Vice-President take action?"

Oh please, Miles, don't make me guffaw. We're talking Trump's little bitch after all.

MB Matthews, she/her's avatar

JDV will act only for his own benefit and preservation, not for the Constitution or the good of the country.

Somebody needs to find a way to show him that his self-preservation and advancement are at stake.

Then he might move against DJT.

Excellent assessment, MB!!!!

OMG! I live in NV, but not in Amodei’s district. I called anyway and a person answered the phone! That’s a first for me. I worked at the same law firm at the same time as Amodei. I asked that he do what’s right and help us reign in Trump. We’ll see. 🤞🏽

LV Jan's avatar

Thx! I would love to connect with others here in LV.

Joan Wiersma's avatar

Ahhh!! Thank you for that list.

newfielove's avatar

I’m hoping people will restack and call by making it easy. 🙏🤞🏼.

He is a Malignant Narcissist, was trump 1, BUT he had guardrails. A malignant narcissist needs guardrails , to be confined when they are not they begin to unravel. He also may have dementia or suffering from a mild stroke from this summer as seen by his odd gait.

As Iran refuses to not back down (and he is told) As his poll # go down (if his enablers allow him to see them) we will see more crazy behavior.

He needs to be removed quickly

Susan Mengarelli's avatar

👀 WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

BAHumbug's avatar

We are awake but powerless. Too bad the people cannot sue for removal via 25th amendment. All we have is waiting for the next election.. All our protests, and calls and letters don't do a thing.

Susan Rockefeller's avatar

I chose to think that all the calls, letters, etc actually put truth out to the universe and give voice to individuals who do not have one. I believe in many things but one is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Man. These individuals are in daily fear about food, shelter and safety. This is a basic need and without it advocating for themselves is not always possible. So I add my voice. Frankly, saying or doing nothing is not in my wheelhouse. I am not suggesting if others choose to remain silent that they don’t care. I did not mean to get so wordy…😃

A doc reads's avatar

Susan, you write truth. I especially admire you for this:

“ saying or doing nothing is not in my wheelhouse.”

We are with you all the way, Susan! Use your well tuned, insightful voice! Yes Ma’am !

Debi's avatar

Exactly. As I posted somewhere in the last few days, I adhere to a favorite concept from my hippie days years ago - "If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem." I believe Eldrige Cleaver was credited with popularizing the phrase in the 1960s, although it is said to be derived from writings back in the 1930s by Pastor Harry Emerson Fosdick

Trump attacked Vance's Pope. If we recall, Vance was non too kind to the previous Pope--Francis.

BAHumbug's avatar

Sundowning... Trump has frontotemporal (otherwise known as frontal lobe) dementia. His symptoms are classic: personality changes, impulsive/inappropriate behavior, disinhibition, apathy, and language difficulties, often without early memory loss. Further, he has the behavioral variant: extreme changes in personality, such as acting rudely, loss of inhibitions, apathy, loss of empathy, compulsive behaviors (e.g., tapping, hoarding), and changes in appetite (e.g., eating excessive sweets). We need to expose this over and over again... He is a danger to himself and others. I only wish that we could do a class action suit to call out his clear dementia and the risks it poses to our county and the world, calling for removal from office. Maybe in a future USA, the people would have more options beyond just waiting for the next election, especially when we are suffering from an incompetent Congress.

If you have time it is worth watching Scott Mac Farlane’s interview on Joyce Vance’s Substack Civil Discourse this morning. The first item discussed was the AI generated meme (which according to Meidas and others has now been taken down). Yes, Joyce agrees that trump is clearly out of his mind. Then she discussed JD Vance. We must work with all of our energy and determination to “hold on together”, per Joyce, and work to get out the vote for the midterms. If we take back control of both the House and the Senate we can put some barriers in place to control this madness. Each day is just more and more stressful, exhausting, and frightening. Our ancestors got through World Wars 1 and 2. We can do this!

J.D. isn't going to be a picnic - he's dangerous and sane, which i suppose is a tad better than dangerous and unhinged but who knows - getting what wish for has ways of not working out, sometimes, big time.

Patricia Ebert's avatar

You outdid yourself today, Miles🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nancy's avatar

I agree 💯! If only Vance would read it.

Cliff's avatar

In addition to those elected officials and appointed cabinet members, Vance needs to reach out privately to the top commanders at Defence to understand how they would react to Trump’s potential nuke orders in case SecDef cannot muster the balls to deny any such orders.

We are far beyond PC here. I don’t trust any of the cabinet members and they certainly won’t hold together to allow the 25th to go forward.

IllinoisImYourBoy's avatar

I wish you were right - but Vance is as bad as Trump, if not worse, with Peter Thiel backing him, and is probably (not so secretly) salivating at the thought of taking over the regime - but I don’t think he has the power or guts to do it … at least yet …

A saw a picture an obese redneck woman posted in which she has hiked up her trump tee with one hand while the other shoved down her trump shorts. She had written on her pendulous overhanging belly the following:

Trump

Penis

Garage

⬇️

Hopefully she was stupid enough to use an indelible marker.

These people have no shame, no sense of self, no moral compass. MAGAts are actually quite miserable people who have no love nor joy in their lives.

So they joined the cult.

not sure i want to know, but what does that even mean?

Joan Wiersma's avatar

Holy Cow! She must be demented too. Thinks NOTHING of herself, most likely hates herself, and tries to get attention to cover it all up. Just the THOUGHT of that made my stomach grumble. Eeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Hillbilly vance needs to find a clunker convertible and take the orange mussolini for a thelma and louise ride over a big cliff. Of course the problem there is the spineless speaker would be in charge. I wonder if he would show up or just run the country from home. What a low iq collection of reprobates.

POTUS is experiencing narcissistic collapse (meltdown). https://www.verywellmind.com/understanding-narcissistic-collapse-7563840

My fear is that it is going to get a lot worse before it gets a lot worse.
