Sunday thought: The slumbering giant is awakening

An extraordinary week for America

It was an extraordinary week. The slumbering giant of America is awakening.

Americans forced Disney to put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. Over 6 million people watched Kimmel’s Tuesday monologue assailing Trump’s attempt to censor him. Another 26 million watched it on social media, including YouTube. (Kimmel’s usual television audience is about 1.42 million.)

Trump’s dictatorial narcissism revealed itself nearly as dramatically in the criminal indictment of former FBI director James Comey, coming immediately after Trump fired the U.S. attorney who refused to indict him.

As did Trump’s demand that prosecutors go after philanthropist George Soros, Senator Adam Schiff, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and other perceived enemies.

As did Trump’s order yesterday, directing the “Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth” to use “full force, if necessary” to “protect War ravaged Portland” Oregon and any “ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.” He is escalating his use of the U.S. military against Americans.

There was also his bonkers speech to the United Nations telling delegates that their nations are “going to hell.” His attribution of autism to Tylenol, even though doctors say it is safe for pregnant women in moderation. His unilateral imposition of tariffs as high as 100 percent on imports of pharmaceuticals and kitchen cabinets.

Friends, his neofascism and his dementia are both in plain sight.

Americans — including independents and many Republicans — are appalled by what we’re seeing

His polls continue to drop.

Voters are turning against him and his Republican party. On Tuesday, Democrat Adelita Grijalva won Arizona’s 7th Congressional District in a special election — leaving House Republicans with a majority of just five.

Grijalva’s victory comes on the heels of another Democratic win: James Walkinshaw’s in Virginia.

Two more special elections are...

“It was an extraordinary week. The slumbering giant of America is awakening.“

That’s the democrat party these days: When life hands you radishes try to make lemonade…

They're stuck in their own echo chamber.

Even if they know Republicans personally, they wouldn't speak out because they're not trying to get cancelled.

So as a result, they think that everyone agrees with their worldview.

And that it is only a minority of racists (or facists) supporting Trump.

No, that's not what happened.

“..stopped reading right there.”

I saw the name Robert Reich and thought it was familiar. Started reading and thought it was getting weird but when I got to “philanthropist” I knew it BS and had to stop. Reich was pet target of El Rushbo but I really didn’t need to be reminded of the reason.

Just Three Days After Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘Big Comeback’ His Ratings Have Crashed by 70 Percent

Well, that was fast.
Just three days after Democrats and the media made a huge deal about Jimmy Kimmel’s big comeback, his ratings have utterly evaporated. Since the beginning of this week when he returned to the air, his ratings have dropped by 70 percent.
