Wish the media and politicians / DOJ etc now in the traumatic political era along with qualified Doctors could have the safety / security to talk more and louder about psychopathy and Alzheimers and narcissism......... for educational purposes before the ballot box.

These are all genetic inheritable health conditions that can cause much damage and stress. Honesty about the candidates chosen morals would also be helpful! The general public needs this awareness before voting in any country!

These are not generally fixable genetic problems nor likely entirely preventable but hopefully can be managed safely, kindly and appropriately!

The world thought it had seen the ultimate evil with Hitler, but now realizes that it has come again in a modernized form.

Donald Trump is predatory, vengeful, and obsessed with himself beyond human understanding.

He is a creature nurtured by soulless American capitalist values - or lack thereof - which, pushed to its limit, as he exemplifies, means survival of the fittest at any cost to anyone else.

To finally prosecute Trump will involve prosecuting modern American society, especially the very wealthy, not an easy chore.

But when these self-serving rich devils see some of their counterparts taken down, physically and financially, they will bow to the will of the People enough to save their own skin and realize that some wealth is better than no wealth at all.

That worked in Russia in 1918 and in France in 1789 and would work quite well in 2026.

And let's not wait for midterms or this or that election. With Trump, they won't happen at all.

They are a nuisance to him, and trust me, he might be an utter moron, but he knows damn well that he's viscerally despised by most people.

That's why he's building his own private army with American taxpayer money.

Nope, this one will need to be carried out live and in the streets, and hopefully end up with scaffolding and ropes.

A very bloody second American Civil War is coming towards the US as we speak.

Gird your loins, Yanks.

“My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” says the guy with no morality and a demented mind.

He clearly ment mortality not morality as we all know he has none.

The "problem" with quoting Gramsci, as Charlie did, is not that he isn't extremely quotable[!] but that he was a Marxist and the IGNORANCE of the American public and a lot of the Canadian public too, is so extreme that they cannot even DISCUSS the rich intellectual history of Marx. Nor can they discuss its many iterations and its many followers throughout the 20th and into the 21st century. I feel its like Leonard Cohen[also very quotable!] said..."You know how to stop me, but you don't have the discipline...". They are not only afraid, and have an irrational fear of Marx, but they are also afraid of the S word[socialism and its many, many iterations] and of course the R word[regulations]. Arrogant, malleable, intellectual wannabes like JD and the entire drumpf cabinet, are actually, functionally illiterate. They have no guiding principles and they are truly what would have been called reactionaries, whose only skill is manipulation. Manipulation of those who have not actually EVER read an entire book, in their adult lives about history, politics, economics or Marxism. So all they do is follow....and REACT.

Everyone seemed to like Charlie's quote about the MONSTERS tho! I even saw right wing pundits using the phrase....but watch it murica! don't actually follow the quote to its SOURCE. Thats too scary, one might have to re-examine, and god forbid...#READ objectively. They really are AFRAID and that makes them dangerous. Moreover, intellectual WORK is just that, and that is why they will never do more than a cursory look-up on Google[first page only!] to um..."...do their own research...". If I sound filled with contempt about the drumpf regime and the nodding donkeys that keep it afloat? I AM. To these cretins, Ideas are scary and should NOT be discussed. Gramsci was an amazing intellectual and a tragic figure IMHO and should be more broadly known and understood. Thanks as always Charlie! for keeping the conversation going.

If you KNOW about Jane Doe v Trump/ Epstein 2016,

then USE IT if you have protection, or a way to deal with it, without making yourself a target.

Search:

Jane Doe v Trump/ Epstein 2016

it should take you to the document, if you don't already have it.

I saw it posted at least last year.

Probably NOT in the Epstein Files.

Jane Doe was 13 years old.

She had filed a complaint in Caifornia under her real name, no lawyers.

She then filed a complaint in New York under Jane Doe, with lawyers. It was October 2016 before the election.

She wanted a trial, but was not given one.

They said she was falsely accusing them.

She and her family were threatened with death, so she withdrew her complaint.

She had Joan Doe swear the Jane Doe's testimony was true.

So, here the victims are, and have just been outed by Epstein files. ( Don't know if she was included).

My impression is people don't know about her.

It is a damning explicit testimony for both Trump and Epstein. (and difficult to read). If you launch into it, it would be good to be prepared for " push back."

Maybe a law firm would handle it.

Recently people have been finding out about Epstein's Zorro Ranch. Situation fits with her testimony.

Don't know where she was when this hsppened.

This is my email:

Thanks

n.knutsen@ yahoo.com

Don't need you to email me.

Just go ahead and use it if you can.

Without swift and sure accountability, men like Trump and Putin and Netnyahu will continue to destroy democracy and civilization. People need to step up and take back democracy. https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/02/24/We-Cannot-Wait-War-Mobilize-Public/

I just wish more MPs of any kind would join in.

This is not hysteria from those suggesting dire things for the future. This is the same kind of denial and appeasement that got us in so much trouble and lengthened WWII by years.
