Mellon is a crackpot NEPO baby, just like Trump kids. Donnie and kegseth are f'ing all norms, ethics, morality of prior presidents, cabinet officials too, every blood day! More of us need to call out congressional stooges. If they get primaried, we'll find better! Johnson's got them by the balls, entire congress! Dems try to corral here and there. But it's not enough. If we don't take action soon these jerks will have a stranglehold on ALL OF US! What can we do til '26 election? Looking for answers when all I've got are questions. Appreciate all the Substack writers, speakers, but we're just treading same old ground. These fascists are a rerun of Hitler's Germany 1933! How-to stop them,??

It wasn't for the u.s. military, more likely for fake gold filigree in the führerbunker. $130M would barely cover 6 hours of our military's pay.

Yes I heard somewhere today that $130 million covers less than 7 hours of pay for our military. It would have been better donated to fund SNAP; Trump has already said they found a way to pay the military.

The sales tag on our Country is heartbreaking, especially after the destruction of the East Wing of the White House, the remaining Rose Garden and President Truman’s tree this past week.

I'm very serious when I say, as I've been saying for weeks, that the sale of branding/naming rights to the WH are an inevitability. The Amazon White House. As well as installing LED billboards on the exterior walls. Surprised that cloven-hoofed Cheetolini and his spawn have let a grifting opportunity like that pass them by.

Now the people who voted for this monster are finding out his true colors. It’s all about money, always has been always will. It’s unfortunate that we have to wait for another election to put this guy out to pasture, or at least swing the pendulum so he’s neutered.

Think about that for a minute . . . do you really think there will BE another election? Do you really think he will allow the possibility of losing? Of course not. I think we have seen the end of Congress. All that has to happen is that Johnson doesn’t call the House back. . . POOF! Congress is gone and Trump governs alone, with no oversight. That’s exactly where we are right now.

Trump is running our government like a mob business, using our tax money like a free bank account to pay off and collect insane amounts of money to do as he pleases and enrich his family. Our country will be drained dry after he's done and he's given all his rich friends a piece of the pie. We are already in the process of being left with nothing. I can't even imagine what our future months/ years are going to be like. I believe that he has gotten too far of a headstart on us and that we don't have a way out of this mess. I have voted, protested, written letters, and made phone calls, but it feels useless. I will continue to do what I am able, but at 69 yrs old, I don't have much to work with.

Thanks for your Substack! I find it really helpful in understanding how we are being f--ked by this regime.

Slime - that guy is mesmerized by the power of his wealth and he’s a right wing extremist nut case. So dangerous- along with the whole federalist society, the Heritage Foundation and the project 2025 people…

What a show for donnie’s brainwashed cult.

What I will be looking into is what leverage Trump has on Mellon, and whether their ties just might go back to the Roy Cohn era in NYC & Westchester County. Roy Cohn had a hand in organized rings: pedo, call girl, rent boys (teen prosties) out of that area, which were also handy fodder for compromise ops (& segued into the Epstein era). Give some thought as to how Trump, Pirro & Stone have been thick as thieves since that era in that area (RFK too, to an extent). There's a reason. Author & Investigative Journalist, the late, brilliant Maury Terry, planned on a final update to his bestseller "The Ultimate Evil", but died before he could complete it. After his death, his files were deliberately suppressed and a concerted effort was made to smear his name (ie: discredit him). What these sinister forces did not count on was that other copies of his files existed, and that a tenacious group of folks would unite, determined to move his work forward. The information and names - powerful folks indeed - that he had were beyond sickening and infuriating, particularly as related to members of America's $$Power Elite$$ families (& in particular, to the Etan Patz case). To be clear, this is not an accusation; but Mellon's age, closeness to Trump, etc, give off "red flag" vibes that are worth checking into. Not an automatic slam-dunk, as a certain prominent liquor family name, or a prominent (2, actually) oil or oil/art name, but still worth looking into his background.

dare I say that the only way to get rid of these despicable sons of bitches is their sudden demise! In just a few months the government of the US has morphed into a RICO case under mob boss Don Donnie.

Freedom in America continues to slip away. No one stands up to the blatant lies from Trump. They know if the do they are marked.
