Obviously the rule of law does not apply especially in the United States and often in the rest of the world where billionaires are involved. If we wanna get to the bottom of the Epstein files we don’t need the files we need the people who participated in those crimes. So some rogue organization is gonna need to round them up and make them talk. Anyone who has ever been on pedophile Island needs to be captured and interrogated. If there are any stragglers they should be made aware that when they are found they will be put the death in the most gruesome ways imaginable because we need justice.
We can start by grabbing Maxwell because she knows everything. She’s strapped in eight year-old girl to a table and gave her electrical shocks while billionaires stood by and enjoy the show. Torture that bitch and torture that bitch and torture that bitch and torture that bitch even after she spills the beans. Send a message to the world to the billionaires that before they go to hell they will be put in pre-hell
And torture the bitch some more! The oligarchs are so bored with all their material possessions that to alleviate that boredom they must torture small children. From the very top of our government down to the lowliest we must identify all the sick pedophiles. They must be publicly identified and imprisoned in the worst prison available, preferably in Iran where they will be dealt with.
Trumps seemingly "recent" attraction to attractive young men is revealing. And that's what I suspect is in the Epstein files. That is, his sex with young boys and men. Hence the extremes he goes to covering it all up.
I'm sure you heard what the sick demented evil demon said about the Cornell University situation and the seven guys who gang raped a young girl? He said he felt sorry for the seven guys ..... he said not a word about the young girl. Birds of a feather must stick together, I guess.
How much do you want to stop His Royal Heinous and the fascist takeover of the country?
Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).
A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.
Greedy Bastards own most of the politicians of both major parties. GBs start losing money, tell politicians to change course and do what We, the People want.
We are running out of peaceful options. The legislature and Supreme Court are controlled by HRH. He controls the executive branch, including the Military, Justice Department, FBI, ICE, the IRS. He controls all levers of power.
We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. Quit feeding the corporate beast that supports HRH.
Stop participating. Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British from India by peaceful civil disobedience and economic disruption. We can stop the fascist takeover in the same way.
We can keep rehashing past and present atrocities until our access to the internet is taken away by the regime, or we can DO something!
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending, except for essentials. Stop the fascist takeover.

If you’re fired 10% of everything they got at Russia would be devastated. The problem with that is Putin would start firing nukes. But there is a bright side of that you’re upward return fire and kill tens of millions of Russians and the problem with Russia are the Russians. They’re a scumbag people and they always have been for 400 years. Any Russian have any redeeming value whatsoever left Russia after the end of the Cold War. There’s not good in everyone in Russians and MAGATS are examples of that purge the scourge.
Russia should’ve been destroyed after World War II as general George Patton had suggested. Like the MAGA, the Russian is beyond redemption. That’s what those bastards evolves to be over 400 years. Russians are dangerous and they’ve always been dangerous if you don’t believe me read their history of conquest.
No point in blaming Trump because Trump should’ve been removed long ago.
No point in blaming Trump because Trump should’ve been in prison sometime in 1980 for his crimes in New York. Trump isn’t the biggest enemy, the billionaires and the corporations are the biggest enemy and they were an enemy long before Trump came along. The billionaires are the government.
He’s probably more likely to watch nuclear weapons than Putin. I think the reason he was obsessing about a bunker under the ballroom was because he’s thinking about destroying the world. All billionaires are building bunkers under their mansions. Check out what Zuckerberg has done. It’s a prelude to Armageddon
You're generalizing way too much, Hound. You're calling all Russians "scumbags" and saying they always will be "scumbags" (Trump says stuff like that daily). You're saying all Russians have been scumbags for 400 years. You're saying Russians have no redeeming value. You're saying Russians are "bastards" and "dangerous". What does name calling do for you?
I’m also going by interviews with the mothers and wives of Russian POWs Who don’t seem to care much about their sons and husbands. I think it’s because they’re depraved and beyond any kind of redemption. They seem disappointed that these men are alive Because all those whores really want is a widows pension.
I also base the reality on the fact that, Russians didn’t care and still don’t care that Putin is targeting mostly civilian areas. Russians don’t care about that. Russians are have proven through their history that they like the qualities would deem them human. The only thing they are upset about is the fact that there are gasoline shortages. They still are OK with Putin killing Ukrainian civilians because that is the dark soul of the Russian animal.
The depravity of the Russian is their heredity. If I was running the Ukrainian military I would do to Russian civilians what Putin is doing to Ukrainian civilians. All is fair and love and war.
But the evil demon loves Putin! Rolls out the red carpet for him and calls him his friend. However, I don't believe that everyone in Russia is a scumbag - there are good people everywhere. Just look at America. Yes, this country is now under a horrible regime with evil intention, but there are millions of Americans who are very good people who want our democracy to survive - me for one. I love America but I hate what is happening to it right now. I do hope that other countries don't think that we are like the demon.
No one knew it would be so easy to disassemble the entire US government in less than two years and absolutely zero pushback, zero. Next step will be when he refuses to leave and the drunk in charge of the military has them lined up in the streets shooting anyone who disagrees.
We just need a majority of them so we (they) can get busy and start correcting what Dump has done. The first thing the Democrat (hopefully they somehow will have a super majority to do it) is impeach, convict and put him in prison. That goes for his cabinet incompetent worshippers as well.. Vance had better pay attention or the same should be done to him. I also don't care if those beloved judges are in their positions for life, we need to get rid of them too. Somehow restore the generals who we desperately to lead our military that protect out country. (CAN that be done--hope it can if we can get that far.) OH--and dissolve/cancel/whatever all those COMMUNIST/NAZI executive orders.
Agree. I complete overhaul needs to happen, starting with the conservative SCOTUS Justices who are as lawless as trump.
BUT first things first - impeach trump, indict and remove him from office, prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law, and throw his pathetic, psychotic butt in a prison for the criminally insane, in a straight jacket, solitary confinement, no Big Macs, no cell phone, no harp. Throw away the key until he rots in his own filth.
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!! I prison for life. And yes, NO contact with the outside world. Throw his cabinet and reubliCRAP supporters in there with him. Separate, concrete cells, of course--NO contact with each other. That just might slap that smug smile/pouting face off his head. Better yet, use the (old?) French method--off with his head!
TIME TO PUT MIKEY JOHNSON. MITCH MCCONNEL KENNEDY AND EVERY REPUBLICAN IN PRISON FOR LETTING ICE MURDER, TORTURE, RAPE ABUSE IMMAGRANTS AND Americans , plus visiting folks
Yes, the wannabe dictator has managed to completely destroy our democracy in less than 2 years. He’s turned our allies into enemies, he’s turned lawlessness and corruption into a spectacular sport. He and his group of robber baron oligarch bros are draining our country’s coffers. He’s broken every campaign promise and dramatically increased the deficit, unnecessarily put our military troops in harm’s way, and lies every single day with impunity. And that’s just for starters.
He’s simply bypasses every regulatory agency, claiming that HE IS THE CODE, and he’s destroy OUR WHITE HOUSE, the reflecting pool, threatened to tear down the JFK Memorial, slaps his name on everything. I’m actually surprised that he hasn’t started wearing a gold gilded crown to cover his rapidly balding scalp!
And we all know what he’s doing. He’s generating chaos and confusion as a way to exhaust us, divide us and weaken our resolve.
But I think it’s a bit of a stretch to claim that there’s been zero pushback because from where I’m sitting, the Democrats in Congress are pushing back every damn day. But it’s like they’re pushing a dangerous, destructive, hungry, million pound monster - a real life KING KONG - uphill while Trump’s sycophantic Republican supporters are licking his fat azz and running interference.
Which is exactly why the midterm elections are so critical. And trump knows it, which is exactly why he’s running around in hyper panic mode, offering bribes and telling his followers to cheat. It feels like we’re witnessing a prelude to 1/6 2.0 on uber steroids.
It’s interesting you make this comment because I had a history teacher in college in the 80s that felt Reagan had set this up. There’s so many documents to prove it and I just didn’t want to believe it then let alone now at 60 years old, sad that our safeguards didn’t protect us. I think if Trump had won in 2020 the Heritage foundation would’ve had a faster protocol than they have right now.
I had a history teacher in high school (1966-1970) who said what has happened (since the Dictator got back into office--of course she didn't know THAT part) was going to happen. At the time I thought she was nuts. Well.........guess what?????????
(Huh, I was in HS during the same timeframe as you. I graduated in 1969. I had just turned 13 when JFK was assassinated, which absolutely horrified me rattled me to my core. What an DECADE, leading up to Nixon. And I’ve been a geeky nerd political junkie since then.)
JFK's assassination was the first happening/event that made me somewhat aware of what goes on in our country as far as government is concerned. But I didn't think too much about it then--probably because I either didn't think (or feel) that it affected me that much. Never thought about until a few years later--guess when we REALLY got into Vietnam. That's when I started to get "geeky"! And yes, the '60s was quite a decade. Mixture of great and awful. (Are most decades like that? This one will definitely take the cake due to it being the first time we've ever had a Dictator in the Oval Office.
Yes, this has been a long time coming and “the Heritage Foundation has been closely linked to U.S. political discourse and policy making for over five decades. Founded in 1973, (think Nixon, but oddly, the Heritage Foundation’s original founders—frustrated conservative activists and aides—helped start the foundation because they believed Republican President Richard Nixon’s policies and administration were too liberal, centrist, and accommodating of the welfare state”!
“THE Washington, D.C.-based think tank was established specifically to shape legislation and executive actions in real-time, growing into one of the most influential conservative policy organizations in American history”.
“The Heritage Foundation rose to prominent national influence during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Ahead of his 1980 election, the foundation published its first Mandate for Leadership, a massive blueprint filled with actionable, conservative policy recommendations to downsize the federal government and unleash free markets. Reagan distributed copies to his entire cabinet, and his administration ultimately adopted roughly 64% of its policy recommendations. During this decade, Heritage heavily shaped the discourse around Cold War defense policy and domestic tax cuts”
AND of course, the “Heritage Foundation has been closely involved in shaping lists of potential Supreme Court nominees and advocating for conservative judicial appointments, particularly during the Trump administration.” Including P2025.
Hillary was right. Trump has been Putin’s puppet all along. Creating the demise of the US has been the goal for the past 10 years and the puppet has followed the plan exactly with the help of the Republican Party. How sad that we as a nation have to endure such treasonous behaviors.
Almost no one read Project 2025. It was all in there, except maybe for the true extent of self-dealing corruption. America's suicide began with a willfully ignorant electorate and will end with a collective, David Byrnesque cry of, "My God, what have we done?"
I'm fairly certain it's superpower homicide. But the worst part is, it's not obvious who's behind it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one horrifying megalomaniacal jerk session. Its entirely possible that in his psychosis, he's so angry that he has to die and the rest of us get to stay alive, that he's going hell-for-leather on ruining it for everyone.
It could also be an attack from our adversaries via useful psycopath.
Although even if the adversaries weren't planning on this initially, I'm pretty sure they're doing the war games around potential power grabs as I write.
I don't know if it's possible that NATO could help us if we were able to prove that this was an attack from an outside power.
I just never thought I'd see the day when Ted Bundy was our president.
I totally agree. He’s an exceedingly dangerous psychopath who’s on his global revenge tour. And in what’s left of his sick feeble, twisted, worm-invested, addled brain, if HE can’t have it ALL, as KING OF THE WORLD, then no one can. He’s take it all down with him!
Sad but true. And much of it is the result of a much watered down education system. Taxing billionaires out of existence, eliminating Citizens United, expanding SCOTUS (with term limits) reestablishing the Constitution, punishing corruption, eliminating ICE are just the start of what needs to happen to restoring our greatness. Meanwhile, we have to save the planet and control AI. This shouldn't take long.
The slow-moving coup the GOP has put in motion over the past ten years does not care whether this country continues to be the "leader of the free world" as long as they have absolute authority, with Donny as Talking Head of the Revolution. They want to be the biggest fish in a small pond, versus the big fish in an aquarium teeming with fish!
Not all authoritarians are catastrophic fuck up like Trump. He’s an authoritarian and he’s an incompetent fuck up and the people around him are even more incompetent fuck ups. No decent competent people even if they were far right we go anywhere near treasonous criminal pedophile rapist scumbag fuck up like Trump. And you know who we can think for that? We can thank first and foremost the MAGATS and corporate billionaires who should’ve been in prison decades ago and never let out for the bribery of our government officials
I'm so glad to hear him equate the loss of education with the loss of super power status. This is the number one error I see progressing in the US. And it was started even before trump. but trump may be the final nail. It can only end badly. What I don't understand is why they haven't attributed the obvious connection to the failing system of Capitalism. Which sees money as the only value recognized.
Putin needed us out of business and that slovenly hog has been happy to do it for him. Good luck, Europe.
The information contained within the Epstine files must be catastrophic if disclosed !🤔
Obviously the rule of law does not apply especially in the United States and often in the rest of the world where billionaires are involved. If we wanna get to the bottom of the Epstein files we don’t need the files we need the people who participated in those crimes. So some rogue organization is gonna need to round them up and make them talk. Anyone who has ever been on pedophile Island needs to be captured and interrogated. If there are any stragglers they should be made aware that when they are found they will be put the death in the most gruesome ways imaginable because we need justice.
We can start by grabbing Maxwell because she knows everything. She’s strapped in eight year-old girl to a table and gave her electrical shocks while billionaires stood by and enjoy the show. Torture that bitch and torture that bitch and torture that bitch and torture that bitch even after she spills the beans. Send a message to the world to the billionaires that before they go to hell they will be put in pre-hell
Reciprocal revenge does not prove justice. As history proves, it just feeds war. There is NOTHING just about war.
And torture the bitch some more! The oligarchs are so bored with all their material possessions that to alleviate that boredom they must torture small children. From the very top of our government down to the lowliest we must identify all the sick pedophiles. They must be publicly identified and imprisoned in the worst prison available, preferably in Iran where they will be dealt with.

They absolutely are. In fact (IMO) the closely guarded EPSTEIN FILES are the current version of a global “NUCLEAR DISASTER” !

And Trump may do just that. the Moron doesn't know any better.

I’m just going by their history of depravity.

No mercy for the wicked.
They are sick of Putin. They are about to go after him themselves. 1 million of them have been killed in Ukraine
I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Most Russians still love Putin. They are identical to Trump‘s MAGATS.
They resist as do Americans, but trump would like to handle dissidents as viciously as putin
But the evil demon loves Putin! Rolls out the red carpet for him and calls him his friend. However, I don't believe that everyone in Russia is a scumbag - there are good people everywhere.

We are pushing back . We need more to join us. Get involved . In January We all are screwed. All peopke
Exactly. Democrats in congress ARE PUSHING BACK! See my post directly below 👇🏻
We just need a majority of them so we (they) can get busy and start correcting what Dump has done.

Almost no one read Project 2025. It was all in there, except maybe for the true extent of self-dealing corruption. America's suicide began with a willfully ignorant electorate and will end with a collective, David Byrnesque cry of, "My God, what have we done?"
Joy Reid did a days long deep dive into Project 2025 on MSNBC. A few weeks later, she was fired.
I'm fairly certain it's superpower homicide. But the worst part is, it's not obvious who's behind it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one horrifying megalomaniacal jerk session.

I totally agree. He’s an exceedingly dangerous psychopath who’s on his global revenge tour. And in what’s left of his sick feeble, twisted, worm-invested, addled brain, if HE can’t have it ALL, as KING OF THE WORLD, then no one can. He’s take it all down with him!

Amazing interview. Tim Snyder is the most respected expert. Thank you!👍
While we botch executions. Let’s hope there’s no need for our superpower post-mortem.
I 've been calling it America's self-immolation for the last couple of years, so I think we're on the same page.
It’s rapid and self inflicted by the president with the assistance of his party, and the Supreme Court‼️‼️
The slow-moving coup the GOP has put in motion over the past ten years does not care whether this country continues to be the "leader of the free world" as long as they have absolute authority, with Donny as Talking Head of the Revolution. They want to be the biggest fish in a small pond, versus the big fish in an aquarium teeming with fish!
Not all authoritarians are catastrophic fuck up like Trump. He’s an authoritarian and he’s an incompetent fuck up and the people around him are even more incompetent fuck ups. No decent competent people even if they were far right we go anywhere near treasonous criminal pedophile rapist scumbag fuck up like Trump. And you know who we can think for that? We can thank first and foremost the MAGATS and corporate billionaires who should’ve been in prison decades ago and never let out for the bribery of our government officials
Russia/China/North Korea/Iran are manipulating Dumpy Frumpy with smiles on their faces
Bingo!

I'm so glad to hear him equate the loss of education with the loss of super power status. This is the number one error I see progressing in the US. And it was started even before trump. but trump may be the final nail. It can only end badly. What I don't understand is why they haven't attributed the obvious connection to the failing system of Capitalism. Which sees money as the only value recognized.
Thank you, Ben and Prof. Snyder, for this important and timely discussion. I look forward to the next one! 🗽
America is not committing anything. The Republicans are. They will be stopped.
