Trump is an evil ass, so everything he says should be taken seriously. Not taking him seriously enough is how we got in this horrible position. So, yes, Michael is right. Pay attention to what the demented rapist felon says and does and vote for people who oppose him loudly and with vigor. Too many Democrats are still approving his nominations and his vicious budget cuts. Give your votes to Dems who do better.

Michael is right. and I say: this is no time waste with words.

Well it will be "hard" to give those votes as you recommend if Michael is right and there is no election to vote in -- or if you are prevented from voting by one or another targeted vote suppression scheme -- or if the votes, once cast, are subject to the tender mercies of operatives working through GOP-affiliated ES&S and Liberty Vote, which, as Putin might note, are entrusted with "counting" upwards of 80 percent of votes cast in this country.

Several gutless democrats need to be removed also. Along with the insanity that calls themselves maga.

“vote for people who oppose him”⁉️

Maybe missing the point of @Michael Cohen ’ article❓

As @Adam Zarnowski ”ex-CIA whistleblower”, that’s what we did in November 2024. Per the NSA-authorized audit his statement references, MANY more voters cast their ballot for Harris/Walz. And yet, here we are.

April 28, 2023:

“There’s an aphorism that Donald Trump has shared with audiences at political rallies in the past few years:

“What matters isn’t who votes but who counts the votes — implying, unsubtly, that vote totals can be or are manipulated after submission.”

I never forgot him saying,at one of his campaign rallies, that if he was elected,

"you'll never have to vote again". Those words stung me then, and he has always that that as his end goal. He is grooming his family to be the "royal family", a dynasty of corruption and cruelty.

WASHINGTON, July 27-28 [2024] (Reuters) - Trump tells Christians they won't have to vote after this election https://tinyurl.com/3fujsmf3 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Christians on Friday that if they vote for him this November, "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote." Trump said: "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. "You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians." He added: "I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote," Trump said.

As an Australian, that stuck out and is seared on my brain when he said that! Ive been screaming into the void ever since Jan 6, why would you vote this pathetic, small, weak nazi pedo back in, as it would be the end of democracy!

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

My reaction too. When I heard those words, I knew then we could not let him win, no matter what. Biden held on too long; Harris had no chance, nor did anyone else who might have won. His lies about better times were music to too many naïve or mindless or foolhardy (or all of these) ears paired with blinded eyes. Democrats (as usual) had no plan or message, so he won and the world has lost. 49% of US voters could not see the evil and felonious grifter he is: a con, liar, cheat, all as Roy Cohn taught him to be. Too few understood that he does what he says he will do, as he is doing. Though he denied knowledge of Project 2025, this is exactly what Russ Vought and the others had in mind for many years. Unfortunately, too many fools chose to believe the lies; now we all pay.

That happens and the revolution may begin. He is weak. Many are tired to death of him. He doesn’t care for the biggest part of us and that isn’t hard to see. MAGA somehow is in Lala land until it hits them in the nose.

Indeed. Starvation is a time-tested tool of war, and it would be totally easy for this mob to destroy food supplies. They are already well on that road, having kidnapped and disappeared the people who used to farm and grow our food.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

What happened to USAID can happen to SNAP. Food is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Commodities futures can be manipulated. More family farmers wlll be bankrupted and foreclosed out of existence. Bessent will be joined by his peers as our soy farmers. Manipulation of water supplies such as the Hetch Hetchy, Bonneville Dam and Hoover Dam water systems would be easy for those in control to disrupt.

The oligarchs of today have seemed to forget the lessons of the past. When the colonists of the 13 original colonies got tired of being shafted, they took out the fat cats and the king. The French people got tired of being hungry and watching the aristocracy of France living in luxury. So they revolted and started chopping off the head of the king and queen, as well as the ass kissers in the royal court. Don’t think this can happen in the United States? History shows revolution is a definite possibility. People will only be pushed so far, before they react. Fathers watching their children go hungry, people of color being denied equality, these factors among other things, is a boiling kettle ready to explode.

The Final Speech from The Great Dictator (Charlie Chaplin; includes 3:37 video with audio; 1940) https://tinyurl.com/2wj2nnse

[We] have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, … misery and bloodshed. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish ... Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. [In] the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Napoleon is said to have quipped that a nation is only three missed meals from revolution. As usual, Trump's playing with fire.

The regime won't even have to try hard to keep us hungry. The climate crisis will take care of this in the future. :(

Indeed.

End of the Anthropocene/Plasticene. Strong winds blowing in every direction.

what revolution? you are in the middle of a civil war. it doesn't matter anymore what we know about him. stop him.

Rob Jonas's avatar

Canceling this coming election, could very well trigger a civil war in the United States.

Susan Skinner's avatar

Who will be the opposition party?

Spot on, Michael. Well done. Thank you.

This is not time for complacency. We have a country to save.

this is also a time to stop talking and speculating.

Why cant we get rid of him. What do we need in order to do it. The longer he remains in office the worse it is for us. I know it takes time but we are running out fast.

Connie Larsen's avatar

It is not only him, tramp, its nazi miller, vought, his miscreants that have been kissing his ass for years. And the kiss asses in congress that can’t say no to him!! WHY!! Look at mikey, gym, graham, Elliot, Burchett!!! What does he have on them!!

Yep. That's the whole deal. Spineless Republicans who control Congress. Unless they grow backbones, we're screwed until a (hopefully) blue wave.

I don't believe that. I think he really liked the power and influence he was given once elected. And no malignant narcissist would want to ever give that kind of power up: plus, he probably can't, as I believe he is an asset to putin; as was Epstein (not to mention the heritage house and possibly Netanyahu).

If we can ever get all the Epstein files I think even some MAGAs would be shocked and grossed out. Will we get them without pages of redactions? I don't believe we will because the participants/offenders and the viewers are many; and they are all over the globe. And they are the richest, the most powerful, the most influential. Got a guess as to how many current and previous senators and congressmen/women were involved? I'm betting on at least a dozen. But I think there are more than that who have been to one of the parties and at least viewed the 'events/rapes/beatings'.

Donald Trump is the only brain-dead person, and loves to brag on himself. When Trump doesn't do great or win an award, as Trump did with the Nobel Peace Prize award. And Trump's cabinet is as bad as Trump or worse, just look at R.F.K Kennedy,

And after signing a document, Trump always has to face that piece of paper toward the Camera, So people can see that he signed something. I miss President Obama and Biden. How in the world did the USA ever get a dummy like Donald Trump as a leader of this Country?

it’s called rigging the vote

I blame all the magas: elected and the public.

Michael- you know a lot about Epstein and Trump. Why don’t you tell it?

Serving time is a punishment earned. Contrition and atonement also have to be earned, as does forgiveness. Where is any of that? [An] old adage … states, “Tigers don’t change their stripes” … We often use this colloquialism to describe someone who tells people they have good intentions but inevitably acts selfishly or even maliciously to get what they want from those very same people. ... It all comes down to choice. It all comes down to action. We must first choose to change our stripes, then take action on actually changing those stripes, before we can expect other Tigers to change theirs. Again, it is all on us.

Cancelling the 2026 election is his fever dream! Keep repeating this threat. As you’ve said before Trump doesn’t say anything he doesn’t mean!

It would leave no House and a Senate with 35 Dems, 33 Reps, 2 Ind. Amendment 20(1).

America is NOT GREAT UNDER Donald Trump. Trump is causing innocent people to be killed and also hasn't helped to bring down Food Preices and today when I bought gasoline, this week my gas was up by 62 cents a gallon, this week gas was$3.08 a gallon for high test, and last week the gas at the same station was $2.46 a gallon This clown is too busy bragging on himself and telling Voters to F-ck temselves and throwning his tiny middle finger at them. And more people are losing jobs.

Ninja Radio 🇨🇦's avatar

unless you (ie: America) stop him and remove him before November you can kiss your elections goodbye. and he will manufacture a war and suspend elections indefinitely to get his way. for all intents and purposes, you live in a dictatorship now. Your civil war is happening. Now. You better win it and fast. Nothing in your life has been more urgent.

Henry Martinez's avatar

I think Trump's desire to eliminate elections is a sign of insanity.

Wow! You said what I have been saying since he was denied a gaming license in Nevada in the late 1980s. I saw through him immediately. Thank you for saying it so clearly.

Gee, wonder what this is about? Is Cohen going to make a statement about this?
