They're flooding us with crises to fracture our focus. But pluralism isn't our weakness...it’s our power. If we don’t stand together now, we'll lose the right to stand at all.
Make the nightmare stop. But, how?
Trump followed the dictator's playbook. He doesn't need a coup. He’s using the law to kill democracy—one order, one purge, one lie at a time.
Refuse. Organize. Expose. Disobey.
No violence. No silence. We are not defeated. No despair.
It's nice to have solid facts under you, isn't it? That's how I feel, anyway. Sometimes I cringe at having to figure out something really complicated so that I can explain it, but I'm always glad afterward because then I understand it, too.
My Dad was a newspaperman and it's just a natural go-to for me to investigate and research multiple sources. Sometimes I forget most people don't do that.
They’re raping us and it’s going to get worse. Companies include banks and investment firms creating a backdoor to steal money right out of our retirement accounts.
It’s almost as if someone is deliberately trying to destroy the United States. Remove or disable our defenses and then raid the “vaults” where our secrets and mechanisms to run the government are stored.
I come to one conclusion, after reading HCR today: when Trump and his thugs leave and someone decides to make a movie about it all this, it won’t be a rom-com.
Thank you for delivering such consistently thought-provoking information and rich insights. It is a valuable service. I also appreciate it when you take a break and share a photo. It is a much-needed exhale in the midst of the endless churn. Thanks again.
Absolutely... he should have been stopped first!
Has he even been called to hearing?
A check person should be following his every move.
Why are these people letting him in? He is not a part of gov...
It's getting to the point of despair. They are destroying our country in front of our eyes and Congress is not doing anything about it. The helplessness is overwhelming.
I feel exactly the same way. It’s like the house is on fire and there’s no water or fire department to help fight before everything is lost. Meanwhile we have been screaming about the fire since before the smoke detector even went off. It’s depressing and exhausting.
Remember when that lawyer was stopped at the border and had to hand in his phone? They told him they knew exactly who he was. That was the moment I knew they were connecting all that stolen data behind the scenes.
SmartPay is an efficient system. When orders are received at a depot and no issues are identified, SmartPay automatically pays the contractor within 15 days. If Trump replaces this system, it's assured contractors won't get paid on time. That will put many of them out of business.
"...it's assured contractors won't get paid in time." Respectfully, I suggest you take your "before times" glasses off. Odds are they won't get paid at all.
Well, that’s the way he ran his business, not paying contractors what they’re rightfully owed. Just more people finding out the hard way what a lying cheat he is about everything.
If Trump has anything to do with it, judging by his past history as a "businessman," many contractors won't get paid at all or will be told to accept pennies on the dollar they are owed.
I manage construction, and the best way to get contractors to perform is to pay them quickly. I process pay apps the day I receive them. Contractors are not our bank.
I am so sick and tired of the Republicans never taking accountability for their actions. They ALWAYS blame someone else for their stupidity, their mismanagement, their obvious weaknesses in governing. They don't say, "How can we fix this? Make it right?" They just want to know who 'ratted' them out.
Lisa Mckowski told us like it is when she said we (republicans) live in fear. Retaliation is a real thing. We are telling republicans get a backbone or they will be primaried by the people come elections.
Republicans have no desire to make things right. They have enabled Trump from the start and remain loyal to him at the cost of destroying the economy, the judicial system and democracy.
Yes, I do hope for that. But, I really want the Republicans accountable before then. They need to grow a spine and develop a conscious pronto. Put country before party. Two more years of this bull💩? AARRGH!!!
(I know. I know. Dream on.)
The correct answer for most of them: they rat themselves out by repeating the same blatently stupid, weak, thoughtless acts. But, We the Sheeple? Ever easy and slow to catch on, the grifters capitalize on a new one of us being born every minute.
We truly need Border Collies nipping at our heels.
A few minutes ago I posted the following concerning a different victim of trump’s cruelty:
I look forward to the trials at The Hague when Homan, Miller, trump, et al are charged with crimes against humanity. They don’t value life, just power, wealth accumulation and sadistic cruelty.
It brings to mind trump’s disingenuous, pandering, performative Easter post followed by his vile, hateful second one minutes later. He really is a walking malignancy on society.

A private company could turn off the payments to and from anyone, at will, right?
So the problem is "not having total control of every penny."
Trump followed the dictator's playbook. He doesn't need a coup. He’s using the law to kill democracy—one order, one purge, one lie at a time.

I research alot, it's daunting yet needed.
Bless you for your letters!
It's that pesky due process that always seems to most benefit these criminals.
Screw movie
