Yes I know it's still the 14th. However, Donald Trump doesn't know how to be truthful.

7/15/26 Go Blue Poem

This is my review of the president's speech tonight.

There will be nothing worth hearing and no new insight

Donald Trump is a president without any moral resolve

He creates crises, then leaves them for others to solve

Listening to him talk to female reporters is degrading

Never answering their questions, always evading

Trump plays tic tac toe while the other side plays chess

The world is being held hostage but he could care less

He started this war because he didn't want Obama to have a win

Now we're stuck in a war with Iran, having to pay for his sin

Trump forgets about the men and women he puts in danger

They are risking their lives because of a president's anger

Having Hegseth in charge should never be one's plan

Here we are 5 months later, still stuck in Iran

The Strait of Hormuz is still endlessly closed

Even after the bombs and sanctions, he imposed

We are sending missiles when we should be talking

We are talking when we should be listening

Trump doesn't know the first thing about diplomacy

He is a baby with a rattle who disgraces the presidency

Everything Trump touches turns into a fiasco

He acts before asking questions of the people who know

The United States is spending billions on his vanity war

No end in sight and still not prepared for what's in store

Trump's statement of charging fees is against the law

Like everything he does, it sticks in our craw

We don't need a make-up wearing has-been. We need a president.

I am sick of how Trump and his cronies have destroyed our government

Trump has corrupted all our institutions

He creates problems because he has no solutions

He is a loud mouth with a bad haircut

Trump doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut up

The country needs someone who uses his brain

Not a red hat wearing clown leading the US down the drain

Wake up America and listen to this fool speaking

The slurring of the words. The odorous cliché leaking

We need a president who has the vocabulary of an adult

Not one that takes everything personally as an insult

Trump's skin is so thin, you can see into his bottomless soul

His oath to the Constitution wasn't for a reality TV role

Trump's responsibility as president is to faithfully serve

Stop with all your dishonesty and be the president we deserve

He is robbing our kid's future with his uncontrolled spending

America is deep in debt, but it's the graft he's defending

The Serenity pool liner was damaged by driving SUVs on it

Not by an Olympian picking up pieces floating on it

Congress needs to start being an independent arm

Put an end to his war and stop him from doing more harm

I wish there was one responsible Republican in government

To say enough is enough to this out of control president.

The country needs the truth, not a president's mendacity

All he does is think about himself and not the country.

Mr. President stop blaming others for your incompetence

Do your job and stop whining at the news conference.

We are all Americans and we need a president, not a celebrity golfer.

Pass on the message and leave the hate behind.

Peace ✌️ Packy Paules

I love Jamie Raskin. I think he is one of the smartest men in the United States.

Everybody thought I was crazy when I said that slush fund was for a private army.

I hope someone is creating a central database logging every one of this administration’s crimes and the entirety of its corruption. Much like the J6’ers were carefully identified and held accountable, albeit grudgingly by AG Garland, the prosecution of Trump’s administration, conspiring legislators and complicit contractors and oligarchs must be undertaken systematically and thoroughly so that no one person or entity is allowed to reap the profits off of illegal activities and rank criminality. This is in addition to the Grand Reconstruction that necessarily makes changes to our laws and constitution confronting the blatant corruption so easily undertaken on a scale unimaginable. The task ahead is vast and will be painstaking. And maintaining workable majorities with half the country still mesmerized by dominant right wing media narratives will be a challenge. But it must be done with a single mindedness that blocks out all noise and counter accusations in the pursuit of truth and justice. The preservation of our democracy depends on it.

So thankful that Mr Rather speaks for so many of us.

Appreciate your perspective, Mr Rather. He is trying to distract Americans; so, keep on reporting

When he is gone, the next administration must wipe every connection to this man from our country. Put everything back the way it was. Rebuild the East Wing, get his name off of everything. The only reminders we should have are how evil and corrupt he was, so we remember not to do it again. We must hold all those who were complicit in his crimes accountable.

What is even more troubling is the republicans enabling his criminal activities. We are watching him interfering in the upcoming election and nothing is being done to stop him. We are all struggling financially while he and his cronies make billions.

MAGA by any other name is a Trump cult. No individual with any sense of intelligence sees what is going on under Trump. The corruption is widespread, as anyone connected to him knows they can enrich themselves in any manner without reprisals. Trump supporters continue to speak of Trump as some messiah, a man who can do no wrong, despite what is going on right in front of them. That is the epitome of a cult member. One can only wonder if some of those so-called representatives in Congress also haven't been indoctrinated into the MAGA cult, but then again, they may be working for others with nefarious intent, using Trump to accomplish their own goals. After all, Trump isn't the brightest bulb in the box, as he has shown on many occasions.

Focus on the $26B Ransom & The Chess Match

​We are actively paying for our own inevitable defeat. 💰

Donald Trump thinks he negotiated a 60-day PR victory. Tehran knows they just played a masterclass in Shatranj (Persian chess). The U.S. just handed over $26 billion in liquid cash and oil revenue to buy a temporary pause on the high seas. We aren't buying peace—we are aggressively financing the exact proxy networks currently suffocating our Navy with ballistic missiles.

Here is the brutal reality behind the 60-day timetable. 👇https://triggledger.substack.com/p/buying-a-mirage-trump-tehran-and?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=8gc1qf

There is a smoke and mirrors created for the purpose of showing the world an immense approval by a huge number of Americans for Trump. There is not. Elon creates fake accounts. Fox News wants to keep the lies and create legitimacy to Trump and his regime for monetary reasons. Let’s face it, they are making a ton of money for both Rupert Murdoch and themselves. The large crowd of white men behind Trump during press conferences are to show the world what power they yield. No they don’t. They have money but we have numbers.
