    “You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

    Love like you'll never be hurt,

    Sing like there's nobody listening,

    And live like it's heaven on earth.”

    People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

    So, the Democrats created a hoax list, and only their names are on it???? My god, people are idiots and I guess we are getting what we deserve.

    I am hoping that whatever is released that it is not so heavily redacted as to be worthless.

    I'm hoping the genie is out of the bottle. Both Massie & MTG have vowed to read the names on the floor of the House if the full files aren't released.

    We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.

    When you have a limited vocabulary, you resort to first grade words for people who stress you. This is what we are dealing with: a demented first grader.

    A demented first grader with the nuclear codes.

    The chances of each of us coming into existence are infinitesimally small, and even though we shall all die some day, we should count ourselves fantastically lucky to get our decades in the sun.

    MTG has announced she's resigning in January. It could be she's legitimately afraid from the death threats after being branded a traitor by dear leader (which is ironic, considering she cheered on the death threats towards the Squad and others). She might be butt hurt that the Dems didn't embrace her when she started speaking out against tRump. Perhaps she's got another job lined up to jump ship for, since her political career is sinking. DH suspects someone has some very incriminating dirt on her, and someone strongly recommended that she disappear before it comes out. Whatever the real reason, this was an interesting development.

    I'm not sure what to make of it either. Although it's interesting to note that when she was blasting democrats in the most outrageous ways, she was never afraid for her life; and now she is getting death threats. So tell me, which party is it that promotes violence against anyone who speaks up against them?

    Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.

    The Other 98% here’s a point in every political era where a country has to decide what it’s willing to normalize. And somehow, in America, we’ve spent nearly a decade pretending that Donald Trump’s endless stream of insults — the “piggy,” the “nasty woman,” the “horseface,” the “slob,” the “dog,” the “low-IQ,” the childish nicknames — are just part of the show. A sideshow. A quirk. A “Trump being Trump” moment.But at a certain point, you have to stop calling it theatrics and name it for what it is: a pattern. A lifelong pattern of belittling women, smearing opponents, and dragging public discourse into the gutter because he can’t win an argument any other way.This is a man who spent his rise to power mocking women’s bodies, sneering at female journalists, degrading female politicians, attacking marginalized people, and calling anyone who challenged him “weak,” “ugly,” or “stupid.” He did it in tabloids, he did it on television, he did it on Twitter, and now he does it on the world stage. It’s not an accident. It’s a strategy. A tactic. A brand.But here’s the part he never sees coming: every time he fires off a new “piggy,” the country isn’t thinking about the person he’s trying to insult — they’re thinking about him. And the long, messy trail of headlines, quotes, scandals, lawsuits, and photos that follow him like a storm cloud he can’t outrun.The internet doesn’t forget. It doesn’t forget the recordings, the bragging, the comments about women “bleeding from wherever,” the body-shaming, the cruelty, the obsession with humiliating anyone who stands up to him. It doesn’t forget who he posed with in the ’90s, who he called a “terrific guy,” who he socialized with before the world learned the truth. It doesn’t forget the sudden backtracking once public outrage finally caught up.And it certainly doesn’t forget that every time he tries to paint someone else as immoral or disgraceful, it’s his own archives that slam back into the spotlight.But the biggest problem isn’t the hypocrisy.It’s the exhaustion.Because while he clings to schoolyard insults as if they’re a governing philosophy, Americans are living through economic anxiety, skyrocketing costs, brutal cuts to social programs, collapsing safety nets, and a daily sense of uncertainty about the future. People are fighting to keep a roof over their heads, to afford medication, to keep their kids safe in school — and the man who wants the White House back is still stuck in the same ugly tactics he used on reality TV.At some point, a country has to say: enough is enough.Enough with the misogyny.Enough with the bullying.Enough with the cheap insults that distract from real suffering.Enough with a political culture warped around one man’s insecurities and his need to tear others down.Trump’s insults aren’t “edgy.” They’re not “tough.” They’re not “authentic.” They’re the same tired script he’s been recycling for decades — a script meant to make everyone smaller so he can feel bigger.And the truth is, the louder he tries to demean others, the clearer the nation sees the outline of his own past — with all its shadows, scandals, and consequences that no amount of name-calling can erase.Americans deserve better than a man who can’t speak without demeaning someone.They deserve leadership rooted in reality, not ridicule.And the era of shrugging and saying “that’s just Trump” is long, long over.

    All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
