ON THE MARGIN

​ Best friends for at least a decade Jeffrey died during Donald’s first term. He supposedly committed suicide in prison while under 24hr. Surveillance. The so called Epstein files are now being prepared by a vote of Congress for release. I expect some sort of delay to be announced. Trump is a genius at delay. 

A great horror story if you’re into that sort of thing. Hopefully, Bermuda Dynamics will help forestall this from happening.

A very scary Orange Monster has destroyed much of the WHITE House bc he can. Nobody seems to know how to handle him. Maybe he will find some candy he can take from a child that will calm him down.

It’s being billed as a ballroom but it’s actually a throne room for our new King. A BIGLY throne room no one asked for except Trump so he can hold enormous tributes to himself bc he has absolutely no intention of leaving the WH until he dies.

I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%. Once they win elections, it's already too late. In 1933, German conservatives thought they could control Hitler. Two years later, they were being executed in their own homes. I spent weeks researching this question, desperately looking for counter-examples, for hope, for any time in history where people successfully stopped fascists after they started winning elections. Here's what I found: Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever. I know that sounds impossible. I kept digging, thinking surely someone, somewhere, stopped them. The actual record is so much worse than you think. Let's start with Germany because everyone thinks they know this story. Franz von Papen, the conservative politician who convinced President Hindenburg to make Hitler Chancellor, said "We've hired him" in January 1933. He thought he was so clever. Withi...

Millions turned out nationwide for the 2 nd No Kings Rally against the tyrannical and corrupt regime of Donald Trump. There was minimal MSM coverage bc 85% of the National media is owned by Trump loyalist. The protests were uniformly peaceful everywhere.

It’s a beautiful day to march against our would be King Donald!! Honestly, we are in danger of losing our country to neo-fascists. They are systematically destroying our democracy and our Republic. Trump cannot stand opposition and he’s setting about destroying it. It’s going to take millions of us to fight back or lose our freedom.

President Joe Biden is being treated with a five week regimen of radiation and hormone therapy for his advanced cancer. I wish him well. The present President hasn’t bothered to do so. America is in need of treatment for its advanced case of political cancer called Trumpism.

We are just a few days removed from the most toxic, anti-American speech ever given by a sitting President of the United States, and I am not letting it go, dammit. And neither should you. While addressing a gathering of military leadership from across the globe at Marine Corp Base Quantico in Northern Virginia Tuesday, the vile, America-attacking Donald  Trump  called on our generals and admirals to  “… use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,”  so that he can attack us again. There’s no sense being cute about it, or trying to sanitize it. The President of the United States is intent on using  our   military against   us . And because I am one o...

This is where it’s going fast now.

Using the murder of far right wing propagandist Charlie Kirk as an excuse a campaign of fear & intimidation is being employed to fire or “retire” popular talk show hosts like Steven Colbert & Jimmy Kimmel both harsh critics of Trump & his gangster regime. America is now plunging head first down an increasingly dangerous road.

I rarely ever do a personal post but today is different. I just want to thank my wonderful best friend and wife Lori pictured above for making these past 40 years a special experience filled with love and laughter among so much else. I love you L let’s do another 40 !!

Stochastic violence, or more commonly stochastic terrorism, is the use of mass media and inflammatory rhetoric by an influential figure or organization to provoke random, ideologically motivated violent acts against a targeted group or individual. Charlie Kirk was considered by many political analysts a stochastic terrorist. It appears in his case his own rhetoric boomeranged on him.

The 2nd trump regime is shamelessly corrupt from top to bottom in fact you have to demonstrate your loyalty to the regime by performing crimes openly and bragging about it.

Dictator Donald trumPUTIN has unilaterally declared war on the BIG blue cities & has started sending in the National Guard to direct traffic and arrest demonstrators unless they’re demonstrating for him.

Are they really? His Kult is for sure. The MAJORITY is not!!

#Academic consensus warns of authoritarian consolidation  **Leading democracy scholars and constitutional law experts have reached an unprecedented consensus that Donald Trump exhibits clear authoritarian behavior patterns and poses an immediate threat to American democratic institutions.** Multiple academic frameworks for analyzing democratic backsliding indicate the United States has transitioned into what scholars term “competitive authoritarianism” during Trump’s second presidency, with systematic erosion of checks and balances, constitutional norms, and institutional independence already underway. Harvard’s Steven Levitsky, co-author of the definitive academic work “How Democracies Die,” declared in April 2025 that “we are no longer living in a democratic regime” and that the U.S. has “already crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism very quickly.” This assessment reflects broad scholarly consensus among over 500 political scientists surveyed by Bright Line Watch, who ...

It seems DJT has cut federal beach replenishment funding to NJ just in time for last week’s hurricane Erin to wash away many of the newly created beaches. Pic is of Ocean City after Erin.

Pictured is flooding in Margate last evening as Hurricane Erin made its closest approach to us at 450 miles offshore as a Cat 2 Hurricane. We had winds of 35 mph and some back bay flooding and beach erosion. No big deal.

Donald Literally rolled out the red carpet on Alaskan soil for Dictator Vladimir Putin. Putin then basically demanded that we surrender Ukraine to him unilaterally and trumPutin basically agreed.

The well known phrase “the Bully pulpit”was created by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903 during his 1 st Administration. In the parlance of the day the word Bully had a positive meaning, it meant excellent. So he was referring to the Presidency as a Bully Pulpit or an excellent place to shape public opinion. Donald Trump sadly has changed the meaning to reflect to day’s meaning of the word to Bully to threaten or intimidate others. He has reduced the Presidency into negative Bully’s pulpit and is beating his political opponents & others with his power irregardless of public opinion. In fact the exact opposite of the use that President Roosevelt used it to make Progressive changes to American life. Trump is using it punishing and rewarding people publicly. He’s setting a dangerous precedent that bodes ill for our future. Teddy Roosevelt and his nephew Franklin Delano Roosevelt used its excellent place in public life to forward Progressive ideas and policies that greatly benefited...

Elon Musk threatens Apple with a lawsuit over OpenAI, sparking a feud with OpenAi CEO Sam Altman. Elon is a twerp and a fascist bully he’s busy wrecking whatever he touches these days. Tesla sales have plummeted as he’s severely damaged the brand everywhere and he also might lose billions in Government contracts for SpaceX bc of his feuding with Dictator wannabe DJTrump. Good I hope he ends up broke bc he’s a PIG.

This festering open wound will finally end our Trump nightmare Thom Hartmann August 7, 2025 5:30AM ET There’s a tape. Not a metaphor, not a rumor, not some fuzzy third-hand whisper passed from burner phone to basement podcast. A real audio recording. Two full days of Ghislaine Maxwell, the trafficker-in-chief of Jeffrey Epstein’s underage empire, speaking directly to Deputy Attorney General and  Trump former criminal lawyer Todd Blanche. The Justice Department has it. Transcribed, digitized, real. Senior officials have confirmed it exists. And they’re sitting on it. Why? The answer, as always, is simple: because the truth is radioactive and most suspect that there’s no way she told the truth. And this time, it may not be the crime that blows the doors off. It’ll be the coverup. For decades, we’ve watched this script play out in American politics. Watergate wasn’t about a second-rate burglary, it was about the tapes. Nixon wasn’t brought down by what his men did, but by what he trie...

Convicted Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in a lol secret deal with convicted sexual predator Donald Trump aka President Trump told President Trumps personal lawyer and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche she never saw Donald do anything wrong as regards his known relationship with deceased sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. What a surprise 😳!! We’re ALL supposed to just take her word on it thank her move along problem solved nothing more to see here OR Else!!

If he’s anything at this juncture it’s shameless. Yet who can blame him he’s gotten away with everything hasn’t he? It’s very likely he’s going to get away with this as well.

Oh yea he’s on it alright. We know he’s a conman and a convicted criminal.

Are the powers to be that put Trump in office plotting to overthrow him and replace him with the fake Hillbilly VP JD Vance? It’s sure starting to look that way. How else can you explain the WSJ editorial & the Epstein art work Birthday card Donald sent him for his 2003 birthday years after Donald tells everyone he cut all ties with his decades long pal Jeffrey Epstein. Stay tuned we’ll see soon enough.

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about these days but along comes another crisis we created ourselves The so called Artificial Intelligence Alignment problem. Having created these things somehow they are now getting out of control and some of their creators are worried they might even destroy us.

Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years in a Federal prison for trafficking children to sexual predators. She worked closely with her partner Jeffrey Epstein in their criminal enterprise for decades. She is probably going to be central to how this whole situation with her Epstein and the their clients ultimately plays out. She knows who and where these people are. Whether she has or will make some kind of deal to protect them or not is the question when you boil this whole situation down. I think we’ll know that sooner or later. In the meantime everyone will make as much hay as they can from this story and then she will sing and it will end for now.

I actually met him 12 years ago back in my 350. Org days. Take a moment to read what Bill has to say here.

Rod Sterling nails it!!

So MAGA did you really ever think this guy was going to release the Epstein files ? Does anyone really believe Epstein killed himself?
