Thank you for the warning.

I am not sure what you're responding to... I'm not Christian, not Republican, and not voting for them.

There are people in the Republican Party who have done real harm β€” but evil isn't exclusive to one party. That said, the two women in this picture and very sad individuals who of course lie and play sick games with fellow human beings

That is deeply disturbing. This war should not be happening. I'm afraid to even look at the story. My heart breaks for those who are in harm's way and the madness they are encountering.

That's a pretty frightening thought you know.

Thank you β€” I don't think I could handle reading it myself, but from various podcasts and analyses(and in his own words)I see that and it is frightening, and deeply disturbing.

I can’t even believe that he’s saying this. This is not a video game. These are human beings with lives who don’t deserve this . I’m disgusted by these people. We have reached an all-time low in this country.

Yet countless Americans have no idea why the polls are so low for him because, of course, he tells them he's the greatest thing, the greatest president. They still trust him.

Yes, the choir would agree, but the problem, Joe, and you know the problem, is there are people out there who somehow don't see any of this. They think that he’s a really good guy and just doing what's right for the country. That’s the problem.

Joe, I’m not sure I understand your thinking here. A lot of people in MAGA right now feel deeply betrayed. For whatever reason, they couldn’t see the other stuffβ€”but this time, something broke through. It’s a step in the right directionβ€”an awakening. Two things can happen at once.

So true. It's the twilight zone, and that's why so many people still can't see it.

My answer has always been that it's what I do best; it's something I've been fortunate enough to make a living fromβ€”art. The world is pretty bizarre, much as good much is not so good and some in somewhere in between, but we are still human and art is important. IMHO

He shows a little tiny bit of compassion for a second, and then, of course, he shifts it back to how he's been saved. All about him. People wonder why we think he's not well β€” clearly, he's not well.

That's great. It's so easy to feel discouraged. It shows we're still human, which is actually a good thing, but of course, we must keep fighting the urge not to let it steal all our joy.

Nothing beats angry political protest songs. That's a good thing, but I guess yes, it gets tiringβ€”you know, only singing about the horrible stuff. But it's hard not to sing about it. Talk about it. Scream about it.

Wow, wow, wow. I haven't read the article yet. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. What should we expect next? There are very few people I trust anymore, and you're still one of the few I think is actually doing a great job and is hilarious in the darkest of days.

A bright, inspirational typographic poster with a warm yellow and orange watercolor background, sun rays, and soft floral textures. The quote is written in varying sizes of bold purple text, emphasizing key words like β€œartist,” β€œhope,” and β€œthe light we make.” The full quote reads:

β€œWhen the world turns upside down, the artist turns pain into beautyβ€”joy into rebellion. Because without joy, hope fades. And without hope, we stop dreaming. So we keep going. We keep creating. Because the light we make matters.”

Lately, Iβ€”and so many of my artist friendsβ€”have been feeling out of step with the world.
We’re all artists in one way or anotherβ€”shaping, expressing, surviving.
If you’re feeling disconnected, you’re not alone. Keep creating anyway.

Back at you. Thanks for being a voice of reason during these strange, bewildering times in America.

It's not a problem at all. I just really like this song. I forgot about it for a while, and I'm disturbed that Trump decided to use it without permission. You're fine, Lila! There is nothing wrong with making an observation!

Also, although it wasn't originally written about Vietnam, it became an anthem for some soldiers returning from the war. I find this song really inspiring. But yes, that lyric is a little strange when you first look at it.

Chat GPT helped explain what that means....
β†’ The cause of their sadness is the absence of universal compassion. They’re grieved by how rare it is for people to truly love and care for each other.

It's good to see you. You're brave to speak the truth amid the madness, and the good news is he hasn't arrested you. I think he's onto someone else from CNN today, I don't remember her name but she got the madman rant.

Yes, but in Trump's reality TV show brain, he definitely fits the part. (sadly)
