Once again Eric, very well written, to the point and truthful. Leavitt has had the best in a teacher, ole Donny boy himself. Talk about hypocrisy, she not only takes the cake but she eats the whole fucking cake. Trump wants to be Putin, president for life - watch out America, your could end up losing your democracy - to the TRUMP CRIMINAL REGIME.

The Zone

The screen refreshes before the thought finishes.

Flooded?

A what?

Is news a state of being —

signal,

sediment,

sludge?

Did Tuesday happen yet?

Refresh. Stay informed.

Was that today?

Or the executive order from before?

Is forgetting consent?

Is keeping up complicity?

There is no single story they want me to follow.

Such a story doesn’t exist.

Refresh. Stay informed.

No matter where I scroll,

there it is.

I’m stuck with it.

The pardon?

The deployment?

The Venezuela strike?

The Iran strike?

The Epstein files?

Oh.

Right.

All five. Before lunch.

Many people are saying.

Indictment.

Reversal.

Firing.

Photo-op.

Threat.

Walk-back.

Rally.

Tweet.

Leak.

Stand for the anthem. Hand on heart.

Refresh. Stay informed.

Did I miss something?

Is there a thread I can follow?

No.

Of course not.

Also — yes.

Duh.

I cycled through them all how many times today?

I ran out of fingers and outlets.

(A lot of people don’t know this.)

The flood isn’t a glitch.

Refresh. Stay informed.

Where attention can’t rest,

won’t catch,

can’t sort —

too much,

too fast.

Scroll.

Numb.

Swipe past.

Open the —

wait.

What was the first one?

Refresh. Stay informed.

I don’t remember.

That was the point.

But when I try,

I remember.

Frankly.

A republic.

Thank you so much for your words Erik. Your words keep us going, keep us strong. Change will come and then we can start rebuilding and maybe adding a few assurances in The Constitution and The Bill of Rights so this terror never can happen again.

That photo of her should be captioned "What's Stigmata with me?"

If you hit the reply on a comment the entry bar is blue. It’s difficult to read what you want to write. It does not happen anywhere else to any other substack. Please look into it.

Please SHARE.

Karoline Leavitt, the top MAGA puppet: proof that if you repeat a lie often enough, they’ll give you a podium. The MAGA-themed baby shower really says it all. Imagine making a politician your entire identity. Tell me you’re in a cult without telling me!

She's a masterclass in how to speak for twenty minutes without actually saying a single true thing. It's like watching a chatbot programmed exclusively on “Truth” Social posts.

She makes gallon after gallon of orange Kool-Aid every day. MAGA swallows every last drop of it like they're dying of thirst under the hot jungle sun in Jonestown!

Please feel free to share/restack this. ♻️

Most excellent...! Your essay here reflects my sentiments towards this CRIMINAL PINO Trump Administration and ALL GOP House & Senate members who proudly, loudly, & insanely praise and gladly hand over their power to their madman of choice: PINO TRUMP...

Thank you . I’m so sick of these slimy underhanded Jack asses defending Fuhrer Trump. Yes kkkaroline talking about you. Pitiful greasy suckups to the pathetically deranged “leader” of this country who continually attempts to warp this country into his rotting authoritarian regime.

Go have your child . Hopefully they won’t know what a liar you are .

Karoline's blood runs the deepest blue. She's just serving the fortunate ones, because she is a member of the club.
