Thank you, Lev Parnas, for confirming that the regime leader’s market manipulation was deliberate and planned. Martha Stewart went to the slammer for much less.

There is not a person the globe who has not got his number. The King has no clothes. The wizard's curtain has come down. Leave him to his own fate. My focus is on what I need to do. I could read him clearly in 2016 when half of us thought he was a hero, and the other half thought of him as entertainment.

It was lonely and painful for me. I would offer to friends that he was an abusive con man. I would say, "He will shake your hand firmly and offer a broad smile while his free hand is deep in your pocket taking everything you own and everything you cherish." I also said to deaf ears, "He will be embraced by people who have no idea he offers nothing and will take everything then walk off leaving you with nothing."

I know the type and those of us who do never saw Trump as either a savior and hero or entertaining and "just being Trump". We thought of him as a threat. We saw thru to the monster going on ten years now. There are many like me out there and it has been really hard to not be heard and to have seen the future in fact. Now it all comes to a head, but I am no longer afraid. I am emboldened. I see the path to victory. It will be so sweet!

No. We will regain our economy, but if we don't pour into the streets and focus on that alone we have no chance of regaining our democracy.

I’m glad we give him hope, but there is really nothing we can do short of civil war/revolution that will remove the dictators from the government. That has to come from Congress and/or the Supreme Court. So while we might “slow” things down temporarily with our protests and letters and phone calls, unless the few good people left in Congress get their heads out of their asses and remove this bunch of hoodlums, we are doomed.

We are not doomed. We are on our way to enacting one of the most historical turning points in this country and the world The mantle has been given to us. I'm going to run with it for I know you and all of us has my back as I do yours. It will be glorious.

A united population in peaceful protest in numbers that reflect 3.5% of the population morph into a level of power that break pipes. I'm glad to be alive to have this chance to experience it. I'm glad to be amongst those who have been chosen. Our democracy will rise stronger as will we and our children, who will receive an education in civic duty and "the power of one speaking truth to power" that no education can match.

Thank you by the way for all the years you have taught. A teacher launches lives which in turn effect more lives. It is the most honorable profession next to that of a parent. Our children to me should be society's priority for they are the future. So, we must support the teachers and the parents of those children.

Prof. Timothy Snyder was giving the ideas of all NONtRumputinist and better yet ANTItRumputinist American politicians forming a People's Cabinet In Shadow and similar. Andrea Chalupa from her GaslitNation had an excellent interview back in January with Lights On https://www.youtube.com/live/lIASIFQEJxs (the best video that I saw since the cursed nov. 6th 2024 exactly what I was shouting and screaming ever since the cursed nov. 6th 2024!! on, but was censored same as Jessica and Andrea were).

I want to say, when the great minds converge, the great ideas and practices can get formed!! No wallowing in despair, though.

I wish Lev would get his book on Audible. It’s harder for me to devote the time to sit down and read a full book these days. But I can easily listen to an audiobook as I go about my day doing other things. I would definitely listen to his book if he had an audio version.

How are we going to get through this dumpster fire? Sometimes it feels like we aren’t making any progress in getting these people out of office. With the troops sent to Panama, the levies and tariffs— Should be we preparing for WWIII?

Stocking up to avoid price hikes or out of fear of the future? Most people are doing the former but the later whispers of fear mongering. We are all in this together and together we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Do not be afraid and do not spread fear. It is the tool of autocrats, but it has no sharp edge against a united front. It has no sharp edge if we do what we must do. Unite and flood the streets from now until however long it takes.

Take care of yourself and look out for your neighbor and don't live in a tomorrow cooked up out of fear and anxiety which will likely never materialize. We are at war, yes. But we have a pathway to win this war; and we are not in the minority. We have in fact each other, and we have the support and literally love and admiration our allies. Last Saturday people of other nations (our allies) protested along with us.

Incredibly things happen when people unite to fight evil and oppression, and people are united in this mission across the globe. We will prevail; then we can aid Ukraine, and they will prevail. Putin will be crushed, and his nation left the loser in all of this, and our allies will shore up again with one focus -- Never again! But only if we keep up the pressure.

I am 74 and on social security and have never stopped working other than a short time last fall thru spring when I decided not to retire but get a job. I searched for a long while and eventually found a really nice one.

I frame it as looking toward the horizon and reading the terrain and then taking care of myself. Doing what I can and accepting losses as I figure out how to offset those losses maybe even do better than before those losses. Who knows.

One thing I do know with this formula I always have exactly what I need, no more and no less than what I need. There were never guarantees as to what the future held for me only my self-determination and refusal to be a victim of anyone or anything.

It's tough on all of us but there is nothing we cannot accomplish when we set our minds to it. Decide what you want and just show up each day pursuing it and enjoying those days in the process, eventually what you need will be provided.

All these "fired" professional, law abiding people that were fired by a jerk who dosen't even belong here! So many military heros, giving their all for country and to defend our Constitution! Allies who side with our people and hate Trump and his complicit regime of hate and fraud! Act Blue and whatever can be scrapped together as millions gather in protest! We need an underground! A covert operation! Use rather fire and passion of those who'd welcome a chance to take it back! Everyone knows that freaking election was a made deal! Elon didn't drop a quarter of a billion dollars on an "unsure" thing! End This!!! Find the dirt! Use it!!!!

While it will continue to be an uphill battle, and what comes next may not also be great, the silver lining may be his life expectancy being over the average age for life expectancy …. AND likely a limiting factor to his wish for/potential for an eternal presidential role.

There is absolutely no quick fix to this! Buckle up and hold on while we ride it out….

And then, of course there's also the monthly bath in virgin's blood he shares with Judge Jeanine (& increasingly, Kellyanne). It's been working for Pirro for the last 236 years so he figured he'd give it a try.

Damn right the damage is done. Canadians, other than MapleMaga Morons, are pissed off with how The Felon King has been talking about us and the attempted threats and school yard bully intimidation tactics have united us like nothing I’ve witnessed in my 66 years as a Canadian. If you want proof just the fact that Québec, where I live, is onboard with the rest of the country is indisputable evidence of the unity he’s inspired. The insult to our historic, peaceful relationship is in the toilet and we may be nice people, but don’t fuck around with Canadians because we don’t back down when threatened.

It wasnt missed by a lot of us who listen and understand who DJT is and his plan. But there were crickets from Congress and the DOJ and main St media . The uprising is happening and getting bigger and stronger everyday. We can’t put the brakes on. Our voices are paramount. Flood Congress with calls and postcards. Next big protest 4/19 although there are protests happening every day. Stay on track, don’t ever give up or give in. Strength in our numbers and Trumps declining polling. The protesters in their 60s and 70s out there on the streets have been here before. We know what’s at stake. Younger folks need to get out there too. This is your future we are fighting for.
