Yes, excellent. This betrayal is truly biblical in quality and scale. And not to be overlooked, the plundering of the planet, cooking of the climate, decimation of species, and obliterating of the awesome beauties that refresh and renew the spirit.
U mentioned biblical in quality & scale I believe u to be right..I'm caring for a family member who wanted to watch "The Testement of Moses"..I was not thrilled to have to sit thru this Documentary but Documentaries is one of their favorite t.v. viewing..So long story short here..I was completely taken back at situations etc that would jump out at me..Here I was watching something on a very old history story..but yet I felt I was looking at today & what we r going thru..I do believe that one should take a look at this Documentary if they r not quite understanding what's going on here..We think we r in modern times but actually we just have more things to play with & r life stories r nothing new..A review of r history as they say might be helpful after all..
I think I know what you mean. These are intense, world-changing times. It's probably to be expected that some people will see connections to archetypal or biblical stories or what-have-you. I know I have -- in Holy Week, at the death of Pope Francis, and now in Waj's article. I think this can serve as a call to action -- for justice, kindness, solidarity with the vulnerable.
Hi Wajahat. Been loving your videos. I wanted to try to suggest someone who might be great to interview: Jackie Singh @HackingButLegal on Twitter. Thanks so much for all you do.
Today as a friend and I were leaving a restaurant and talking about how prices will be increasing, the manager overheard us and said gas prices are down. Yes, they’ve been down for months. The dunning-Kruger people will never get it.
Those people are way more devoted to perpetuating their denial (and doing their best to force it on the rest of us) than they do to anything resembling facts
Sometimes the cognitive dissonance makes them violent
While at a local protest, a car stopped at the red light rolled down its window. A kid about 12 years old yelled at us..."who won?"...so I asked him...who lost? He said "Joe Biden"...so I replied, "no, you lost, your future lost, the future of our Country lost". Window up, car drove off.
It is a sad state of affairs when a minority of self-serving assholes and cultists have gained control of the country and the minds of so many mindless souls. The ebb and flow of life are working against finding a way out of this hell hole: The older and experiences folks who have seen how this pattern of ignominy poisons the minds of the people but nearing the end of their lives are powerless to make a difference. Our warnings are real: Trump is a menace and his disgusting and pitiful behavior has caused a slew of similarly affected people to go along with his bad deeds.
To quote my mother (DOB 1915) MAGA (or whatever the Rethugs called themselves over her lifetime, MAGA (or whatever they called themselves way back then [the Republicans?]) sacrificed everything except their own salaries as long as they could stay "on top" as it were. {Her words, not mine. I'm not sure I could even PRINT my words online}
Exactly…and that’s what I’m really having a hard time with! I can’t imagine a parent not thinking of their child’s well being first and foremost! These GOP have children, grandchildren, and families. How can they be so selfish as to sacrifice their lives to people like tRump and Musk?
People who clearly have no regard for human life or human decency…
This is very well written and unfortunately very true! 😔🌹
Still it is a coup here full of deceit. Narcissism is characterized by a lack of empathy. Any empathy. Trump and Musk are afflicted. They live in a game of conning others. There is little input from the DNC. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/hornswaggling-over-100-days?r=3m1bs
Yes Waj! I say over and over these people sacrificed their own children to their dear leader 🤯

Excellent article!!

Great story! Wish it were fiction, but unfortunately it is a documentary of reality.

Sadly I must say...Nicely & truthfully expressed..The 12 yr old might not get it right away but as he grows it will become clearer & clearer..

She was completely right!
