This evil regime is so unbelievably corrupt, but you bring their corruption to the forefront on a daily basis for the world to see. You do an amazing job! Thank you, Ron.
Thank you for the list, Ron. I'm still reading all this shit! DAMN! It's overwhelming! Please enjoy your long holiday weekend. Try to forget this shit for a few days. We will be here waiting for you Tuesday.
Erica Chenoweth illuminates the value of nonviolent resistance in societal conflicts | Harvard Kennedy School
The following is an excerpt about overconfidence in elections.
“People tend to think the way we create change is through elections, and the result is an overconfidence in elections,” she says. “During election cycles, people divert their energies away from community organization and mobilization in a way that makes it hard to sustain a mode of extra-institutional struggle.”
“One challenge to organization, especially in the Western world, Chenoweth says, is that progressive movements full of freethinkers tend to be fragmented and often internally contentious.
Participants in right-wing movements, meanwhile, are easier to organize because they tend to be more ideologically oriented to following authority.
“In emergencies, people in left-leaning or progressive movements can agree on the problem, so progressive movements tend to rally around a key moment or an emergency,” she says. “But this means they are often reacting to crises rather than taking the initiative or proposing a consensus-based solution to the problem.”
Complicating things further, she says, there is often less agreement in democracies about what exactly constitutes a crisis, and the energy around mobilization for change gets pushed into election cycles.”
From the Peaceful Solution:
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.

Wow, Ron, it must have been awful trying to limit to only 75! But you did a fabulous job, thank you, and now we hope you have an incredible rest of your weekend. There is nothing in the world like time in Maine! You know all the stuff is gonna be here when you come back. And we’ll be looking for the next 75!! 🥰
Warning: This is something best to read a little at a time! I’ve only read the first 20 and I’m seething and I can feel my blood pressure going up and that I need a drink! 😡🍹 But thank you so much for your hard work on this and everything else you do continuously to keep us informed on all that this MOST CORRUPT in history administration does!!! You deserve to put your feet up and enjoy a few drinks and most definitely have a great long Labor Day weekend!!! Thanks, you rock!!! 🎸😎
I had to stop reading them in-depth, as it was nauseating. I think the ones that bother me the most are the selling of pardons. People with money and influence get pardons, while everyone else can hold their hands on their butts until they grow roots. (Expression courtesy of my grandmother.) It was just announced today that Johnny "Doc" Dougherty, a Philadelphia union leader sentenced to 6 years in Federal prison for, among other things, embezzlement of union funds, had his sentence commuted by Trump. Dougherty had previously been turned-down for commutation, but his attorney said it was "persistence" that finally paid off. I can guarantee you that that "persistence" consisted of a payment to Trump himself or someone around him who could "suggest" Dougherty's sentence be commuted. 🤬
my question is this – are the Democrats planning on clawing back these ill-gotten gains from Trump, his family and his supporters? Or as usual are we just stuck with the same old bullshit grift that goes unpunished every goddamn time a republican president screws us - i.e, Bush, Reagan, Nixon to name a few who broke the law & got away with it because democrats always roll over - sending the signal to Republicans that they can screw us any which way they want and get away with it every time.
If Democrats put this issue front and center, and stuck with the message, they could rally the people to join in. They always appear like they're afraid people won't like them if they do something while the GOP doesn't give a damn, and tells people to get the heck out of their way.
Who gives a crap if people don't like them? This is politics. If you want nice, visit Canada. (Maybe not so much these days.)
This is staggering. Got thru the 1st 9 and need a drink. And I don’t drink. And you’re right in your forward, Republicans just let this all happen. They’ll find that not dong their job will make them need new jobs in January.
THIS frightens me above all else....WHERE is the fucking RED LINE for Americans....not even a pedophile in the oval office....not even dead soldiers....WHEN will Americans stand up and protect America.....Americans will sit back and allow an evil regime to take over our country....WHICH they already have.....so ....Americans....you reap what you sew
My first comment here: Ugh. Thank you for all your work. I'm sending this out to all my friends, Democrat & some Republicans. I don't care anymore. Enough is enough.

That is just this year & it's not over yet. He is saving the worst for the next 60 days.

Me too. It infuriates me. I'll take many breaks throughout the weekend to finish it. 😡

You're right.
If Democrats put this issue front and center, and stuck with the message, they could rally the people to join in. They always appear like they're afraid people won't like them if they do something while the GOP doesn't give a damn, and tells people to get the heck out of their way.

Only 75?!?!

Exactly… makes me sick to my stomach… literally.
I had to lay it down and get a beer.
It’s good to have this in writing.
Thank you, Ron. Have a great weekend!! 👍🏻

Fantastic compilation, great work! Reading with a glass of wine nearby to help with my anger.
