… Fed agents dressed for war in military-style tactical gear used flash-bang grenades against protestors in LA while they were doing a raid on a clothing wholesaler.
Everyone spread the message, if you see anything going violent or wrong, sit down. Sit down fast, because Trump is going to have his thugs there starting fires, or breaking windows - something to justify the armed forces!
If everyone actually there expressing their right to peacefully protest just sits down when someone does wrong, it will be quite clear who the evildoers are. Just sit and film them. Riots will never be the answer. Put the blame on only those committing crimes! Odds are good they’ll be the great minority and extremists if one side or the other. Make it clear, and be safe. Sit.
Be careful filming with phones, though. I saw a protester at another location say he heard one of the masked "agents" tell another one to arrest the ones with phones, then they arrested his nonviolent girlfriend, just for being there recording on her phone. These masked "agents" are nothing short of the Gestapo on the loose.
I'd go one better... everyone stay off the streets and close your businesses - especially restarants, so these thugs can go hungry. Make LA and the surrounding area a ghost town.
Part of the resistance needs to be economical. I thought from early on that all workers, especially migrants, should not go to work. Understanding that somehow they should be compensated.
It doesn't do nothing, exactly - it presents an opportunity to trigger a narcissistic rage severe enough that the military take the Project 2025 out on the basis that Project 2025's leader literally declared war against America, which makes Donaldd and his collaborators enemy combatants (Trump has been taking orders from Stephen Miller and Kevin D. Roberts), or governors use the national guard to deal with them on the same basis, in the pursuit of honoring their oath to the US Constitution.
Weird. I can still see the ad. Maybe we each are required to block it? I'd prefer a class action block. This is not a place to advertise; we go here to get away from it.
Well kinda MSM(mainstream media) has lost the confidence of WE the People simply because they are not willing to call out the fascists in the White House(WH) for who they are
Terry Moran of ABC/MSM(mainstream media) has finally showed what all of us WE the People want them to say….that the fascist haters in the WH are exactly who they are In calling out the Adolph Eichmann(Stephen Miller) of the WH staff “Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred He’s a world class hater” Moran decided in his X post to call Eichmann for who he really is
Of course the fascists in the WH claim foul as they always do because this is the way fascists get away with their barbaric speech and policy The attack by the WH is part of the fascist playbook But since when is free speech just free speech when someone agrees with what you are saying or better yet says nothing? Otherwise if you don’t agree with it then it’s not allowed That’s the whole point of being indignant by creating a veil of “how dare you criticize us”
The breech in the dam has been reached and reasonable people like Moran are willing to step up and not keep silient and have the courage to say the quiet out loud The slow erosion of freedoms such as speech is how dictatorships begin
Terry Moran told the truth. Miller eats hate. So we witness every time he utters a sentence. Here's another truth that the Dems and Press are sidestepping: the Commander in Chief is morally and mentally defective. Mentally ill. His brain is broken. Abnormal. Irrational. Completely unfit for this high office of public service.
When will more Adults tell this truth? On all sides? Donald J Trump is a dangerous maniac. His daily bad decisions, irrational utterances, his taking bribes to pardon evil men, his choice of Putin's corrupt Russia over NATO and Ukraine. The self serving hatred of what America is actually about. The man is criminally insane.
It is the obligation of the Democratic Party leadership to pull its head out of its ass and tell this truth. Rip off the cover of this mass hysteria. Tell the truth. Remove Trump from power before more good people suffer and die.
Tell that to the people who have the power to do it: the Maggot party and Cheeto's cabinet (who could employ the 25th Amendment). None of this will be possible unless the maggots are voted out of office.
Impeachment and conviction for bribery and high crimes. Manipulation of the US Treasury to support his crypto scams. Abuse of power to attack patriots while pardoning violent insurrectionists. Misuse of the military for his personal benefit. Selling out America to oil oligarchs. The list is long and growing.
Don’t forget selling pardons. He makes no attempt to cover his transgressions. He’s made a mockery of the federal courts. There’s no deterrent to committing federal crimes when you know you can buy a pardon from the orange one. The entire think is a farce.
Agree and recognize each and every illegal item you have listed. BUT, the Democrats are in the minority and the present majority, MAGAs, Republicans, GOP, are certainly NOT going to charge Donald J. Trump! They fear being taken out!
The Dems are navel gazing while Trump damages the nation. More that 100 million American adults did not vote in the 2024 election. If the Dems got off their ass and told the truth about Trump they just might convince 10 million of these apathetic souls to join them. There's also a moral imperative here. Tell the truth because it is the right thing to do.
Bernie Sanders said it: "I would say that to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House and Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up."
Currently, it's the maggots who are navel gazing. I wish more people would shine the spotlight on the MAGA Congress and keep it there; they are the only ones who could impeach and convict him NOW. The Dems cannot do it when they're in the minority.
I urge everyone to get ready to hit the streets (peacefully) next Saturday, June 14th, for the No Kings rallies across the country! Bring your signs and your voices! It is time to flood the zone with tens of millions protesters to demonstrate to the world that We The People will not let DEMOCRACY be shredded by Trump and his malignant handlers!
"less than lethal" ammunition. HA! Those things are rubber balls with a heavy metal core the size and weight of a musket ball. That round goes out the barrel at a velocity similar to that of the musket fire faced by the Continental Army. "They" used them on us in Portland. They (police and the ICE thugs sent in by the first Trump administration) went for head shots, fracturing skulls and breaking facial bones and eye sockets. They fired them indiscriminately, at women and medics and even bystanders. The City of Portland is still paying claims from this. Some of them are BIG payouts to people who were seriously injured.
I was wondering about what they were using and where they'd be aiming it. Protocol with rubber bullets is to aim only for the legs. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them taking head shots, which could be fatal.
That clip is confusing. Did the LA police shoot her? If so, is the Police officer dressing down the shooter or the protestors? Is the police officer saying they can't get an ambulance until the crowd disperses? Who is carrying the woman?
I figured it out, I only got captions and not sound so didn't realize it wasn't the officer talking about the shooting, etc.
TY for explaining what the "less than lethal" is. I saw a movie, not sure if it was the The Shawshank Redemption or not. Whatever movie it was, the guards shot at the prisoners' heads on purpose hoping to kill them. Glad that you survived that.
I wasn't in the worst of it. The marching band I am in, that played demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, shut down during the worst months of the plague and didn't get back together really until last year. Anyway, looks as if we will be in the thick of it this time.
Everything they’re doing is to increase the likelihood of a violent response from the protesters. This was planned, not a reaction to a situation. Not my America, not my values, Not my president. (& it’s painful to have to call 46 president)
Glad to hear they're being held accountable even if it won't ever make the injured whole. What a horror. I remember thinking at the time it was like watching the Nazi Gestapo round up the Jews. They were not in uniform and were putting them into unmarked vans.
I suspect all the proud boys are ICE and a lot of the people that stormed the Capitol on Jan 6. That's why they had to be pardoned, so Donnie could have his "boys" do his dirty work. Then he will make sure that they get the money they are suing for their crimes. He want's to bankrupt the US government, so that he and his rich friends are the only ones with money. Get him out of office and let the American people sue him for everything he has. I'm sure we have more cause than he has had for any of his lawsuits.
It's summer. In some parts of the U.S. the UV index is 11, which means sunburn is essentially instantaneous without wearing sunblock during the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.. Here, the local fishermen wear shirts that cover their foreheads, heads, jaws, and nose as well as their shoulders, torsos and arms. It's not a mask; it's fabric sunscreen. People should protect themselves against skin cancer during the summer months especially since the environment, among other things, is intensifying the chances for sunburn and skin cancer.
Yes, and some people (like me) are allergic to sun screen; we use hats and clothing to protect ourselves.
As for our Chief of Corruption ("MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!”), what do you and your thug storm troopers have to hide and why?
It makes it impossible for any accountability for the actions of these hooligans. Virtually everyone in any official capacity including Police, Army, FBI and CIA all have either a name and or a number. Even the MAGA arse lickers in the house and Senate have name tags.
He's already got that sorted, $1600 bonus each for his 6,000 strong private army by suing the authorities for the proud boys unlawful conviction for J6. Using his "authority" to push that through ... $10 million of your money.
Should we wear sunglasses to shield our eyes from iris(?) recognition? Or are sunglasses now illegal too? Our small town, majority republican, is hosting a No Kings protest. I'm not too concerned about arrests since the big protests will be in Boston, Worcester and possibly Amherst but it seems we need to take any precaution available to us. My husband and I have attended many protests in the past in Worcester and locally but none anywhere near as frightening as this. The thug occupying the WH seems totally immune to our laws or any repercussion for breaking them, yet we can't stop him. Every elected official from MA is a Democrat and they are doing all they can but due to not being in the majority they really have no power to end this madness.
I'm 66 yo and never could have imagined seeing this country fall into fascism so quickly. I fell so impotent but also filled with rage and sorrow. How did Americans allow this to happen? Is this what the trump voters truly wanted? It's hard to believe that your friendly neighbor, mailman, doctor voted for this! They made a devil's bargain and have lost complete control of the evil they helped to birth. Were they truly this naive and ignorant to not be able to see where this would lead? Would they have voted differently if they had known that losing democracy and replacing it with full blown fascism would be the end result?
On his return to NJ this evening, Trump said, "We're going to have troops everywhere". Here it comes, folks: invocation of the Insurrection Act, a martial law decree, and cancellation of elections. LA is the Reichstag Fire. I predict the decree will be issued on Saturday as a result of the No Kings protests. He's absolutely salivating at the idea of a crackdown on all forms of dissent, and who the hell is going to stop him? Damn, he couldn't even wait six months.
I'm sticking to what I said since the first day I heard about this effin parade. It SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. it is what he has been waiting for. We're on our way to being North Korea
RE: LA. Just remember, May 4, 1970. A little more than 55 years ago. Kent State. What happened when National Guard troops were deployed at a civilian protest. I thought we had learned.
My stomach churns watching the over reaction and heavy handedness by police and ice against protesters. Ive commented my fears of military involvement in civilian protest before..i know about this as i grew up in Belfast during the Troubles. Regular people came out to protest legitimate grievances and were attacked by police...what did the government do to resolve this..they sent in the British army. The army doesnt police..they are trained to act against an enemy and in our case fired live rounds into civilian protests. And then the powers that be wondered why paramilitaries sprang up in force. Trump may think he is the strongman but this over reaction may result in a greater civil unrest and even civil war. Believe me the unthinkable happens when the idiots in charge dont think it through..
Belfast. Wow. That must have been intense. I dont think Americans are aware of what a country wide civil war will look like. Some I fear ,think its gonna be so great. I am terrified. I saw the riots in Newark, Also 9/11 . That was enough along with all the unrest of civil rights riots. The late 60s and thru the 70 s Now,this . Never, never, this bad. As horrible as that time was.
The fear is that americans have legal and plentiful access to weaponry...and they arent all on the side of the angels...lets hope coolers heads prevail eh?
Yes, but the gun lobby excuse for no gun control is right out the window, isn't it? They always used to say they *needed* their guns so they could fight back against a tyrranical government. Well, here we are; where are they? Not saying much anymore, are they? Not that I ever thought they would. All hat, no cattle.
Lord Almighty. 4 months. Frankly I would be fine with bringing a squad of active duty marines into the action as long as the mission was to pick Petey Hogsbreath up by the balls and throwing him off the roof of the Pentagon.
Ron continues to provide the best value for news. Terry Moran is still reeling from Trumps explanation of the Declaration of Independence (“It’s a declaration…of love”) and forgot that he works for a weak kneed spineless corporate hackery exemplified by star struck Trump stenographer Jon Karl and blithering fool George S. He brought insight and accuracy to the American Goebbels. Not only is he suspended from ABC, more devastating will be his shunning by the DC Cocktail circuit.
Ron's analysis is critical for all Americans to read (but they won't or can't because they don't know it exists). Today's synopsis should be preserved for the future. And dovetailing this , HCR's videos about the lead up to the Declaration of Independence should be required viewing for all Americans, and I mean all.
I'm old school. I print out every single one of Ron's Bulletins. HCR too. As unbearable as the emails are (I might have to create an email addy just for substack, because frankly, I have lost control of my inbox,) and I hate the substack app, the fact that Ron's daily bulletins get over 800,000 reads I think is terrific. Plus he's on Blusky and still X. 77million people voted for Trump and are not interested in substack, can't get out of the Fox-hole, wouldn't pay for it, and most can't read above 5th grade level.Until a friend turned me on to HCR 2 years ago I never heard of her or Joyce Vance. Look how far Meidas Touch has gone. I wish there was a MTN streaming app with all the shows and content in one place, but truthfully, I don't have enough hours in the day anymore. I have many subs and voices I listen too. Ron is a MUST. I never miss him. I am a paid subscriber to almost every one from MTN with their own substack to support them, even if I just can't watch it all.
That's when I knew he was great because truthfully, I usually avoid any interviews with the Manchurian Cantaloupe, but that Declaration of Independence "What does it mean to you", and the look on his face like Trump had 3 heads nailed it for me 😂 Now the Stephen Miller tweet? Classic.
😂 I don't know. I grew up at a time when I thought people who ran for office were smart and had experience, especially Governors. So when I saw Kristy Noem dancing on that stage when Donnie lost it the night of one of his conventions, rallies, or whatever he calls them, and said let's just play music and did his moves (that haven't changed since his Jeffrey Epstein days), where he looked like a mortifying drunk uncle at a wedding, I really knew we had lost it as a country. And electing the likes of that complete and utter moronic buffoon Tommy Tuberville who now wants to be Gov of Alabama, because he is so experienced and qualified to run a state 🙄
Yes, and they already capitulated. So … we have a lot of new media forming, not answering to the moneyed interest.
I’ve been a journalist since the late 60s, and when the MBAs starting coming in as middle managers in the 70s, that’s when it all started to become a business more than real news media for the public interest.
I’m old enuf to remember Maria Bartiroma b 4 the MAGA Fox worm got into her brain. Makes u wonder what goes on thst gets these people into the MAGA cult.
A big shoutout for Terry Moran for showing some spine on ABC. He’ll probably lose his job but not to worry, ones like Jim Acosta, Katie Phang etc. can show him how to find another way of life where he can be a truthful reporter. He nailed it absolutely correctly about Stephen Miller. Maybe he’s going to have some problems at home to keep him distracted for a while.
Honestly, I have run out of words to describe all that is happening in the country. So, Thank you, Ron and everyone here (except Pam the ozempic troll) for putting into words all that I feel.
Everyone spread the message, if you see anything going violent or wrong, sit down. Sit down fast, because Trump is going to have his thugs there starting fires, or breaking windows - something to justify the armed forces!

Yes! Can't stress this enough....DO NOT ENGAGE with people that cause trouble or cause u harm. JUST SIT DOWN! No on needs to get hurt or worse.
and get trampled? yeah right go take some real training FFS
Be careful filming with phones, though. I saw a protester at another location say he heard one of the masked "agents" tell another one to arrest the ones with phones, then they arrested his nonviolent girlfriend, just for being there recording on her phone. These masked "agents" are nothing short of the Gestapo on the loose.
If you film, try to livestream. Then if they do take your phone, you’ve already shared what’s going on. Harder to hide the evidence.
Good advice. Thanks!
OMG
Do you think they could be Oath Keepers? Or Proud Boys, pardoned by Trump?
“Giving” back to their country? Why are they masked if not? Rumored by Trump to be wonderful Patriots? Gestapo, YES!
Of course they are the oath keepers and the proud boys. Why else would they hide their faces?
Absolutely! I'd bet on it; if not the pardoned J6ers, they're all most likely criminals.
Maybe, but are you going to that because of the uniforms, because police agencies all wear tactical gear for crowds.
I'd go one better... everyone stay off the streets and close your businesses - especially restarants, so these thugs can go hungry. Make LA and the surrounding area a ghost town.
Part of the resistance needs to be economical. I thought from early on that all workers, especially migrants, should not go to work. Understanding that somehow they should be compensated.
Sitting mostly makes it easier for someone (or a horse) to kick you in the head.

IMPEACH AND CONVICT TACO AND THE ENTIRE LINE OF SECESSION, ALONG WITH ALL PROJECT 2025 COLLABORATORS
Why am I screaming above?
*gestures vaguely*
Just look.
Impeachment without removal does nothing. If we take back both houses next year, I suspect we’ll see Donny scurrying for the hills, JD on his heels.
Along with little Money me Johnson!
That’s assuming we get that chance.
Judging on the rate of decline of democracy in the US, I doubt there will be another democratic election. Unless the felon is removed!
All of them—the felon, Vance, Miller, Johnson, Homan, etc.— need to be removed or we won’t have another Democratic election.
But legally speaking…how do we accomplish that?
Legally?....good question!
It doesn't do nothing, exactly - it presents an opportunity to trigger a narcissistic rage severe enough that the military take the Project 2025 out on the basis that Project 2025's leader literally declared war against America, which makes Donaldd and his collaborators enemy combatants (Trump has been taking orders from Stephen Miller and Kevin D. Roberts), or governors use the national guard to deal with them on the same basis, in the pursuit of honoring their oath to the US Constitution.
In impeachment procedings, conviction=removal, so you are repeating back to me what I said
Block this advertising bullshit.
Reported from my substack app and blocked. We went from brain fog to Ozempic.
So , fat AND spaced out. Nice chick. What a catch
Done
Weird. I can still see the ad. Maybe we each are required to block it? I'd prefer a class action block. This is not a place to advertise; we go here to get away from it.
I would go into the profile and block.

Terry Moran is a warrior for truth. The pen is mightier than the sword.
Good on you Terry. Stand proud.
Moran spoke the truth.
Terry Moran told the truth. Miller eats hate. So we witness every time he utters a sentence. Here's another truth that the Dems and Press are sidestepping: the Commander in Chief is morally and mentally defective. Mentally ill. His brain is broken. Abnormal. Irrational.

And just how do you think Trump should be removed from power?
Give us some hints, please.
Impeachment and conviction for bribery and high crimes. Manipulation of the US Treasury to support his crypto scams. Abuse of power to attack patriots while pardoning violent insurrectionists. Misuse of the military for his personal benefit. Selling out America to oil oligarchs. The list is long and growing.

Never gonna happen, Dems have no control over anything, and each and EVERY single Republican is rooting for a dictatorship with their votes.
This is for when we presumably take back the house and or senate
Why not YOU give us some hints?
Shoot First ask questions later
Of course he was suspended because abc has no integrity. Moran spoke truth to power and the bullies can’t handle it.
I urge everyone to get ready to hit the streets (peacefully) next Saturday, June 14th, for the No Kings rallies across the country! Bring your signs and your voices! It is time to flood the zone with tens of millions protesters to demonstrate to the world that We The People will not let DEMOCRACY be shredded by Trump and his malignant handlers!
Yes. And also, be CAREFUL and alert. We all need to be aware of how much is at stake. Don't let these thugs have a reason to get violent.
Or for Numbnuts to declare martial law.
Indivisible has a great guide to explain what your rights are and other tips. Even a “protest training video”.
Absolutely!
“WH Policy Director Stephen Miller: “We will take back America.”” The hell you will, you Nazi bastard POS. You’re in for a long fight,
m….f…er, if you think we’re just going to roll over and let you take it.
Excellent comment, John. I couldn’t have said it any better myself!
John for the win!
Yes! We the People are going to take back America from you fascists asshats!
Right ON, Brother John 💪. 💪. 💪
It’s OUR America, Miller, you fascist piece of excrement! Fuck all the way off.
"less than lethal" ammunition. HA! Those things are rubber balls with a heavy metal core the size and weight of a musket ball. That round goes out the barrel at a velocity similar to that of the musket fire faced by the Continental Army. "They" used them on us in Portland.

Which is also his IQ. 45 or 47
Glad to hear they're being held accountable even if it won't ever make the injured whole. What a horror. I remember thinking at the time it was like watching the Nazi Gestapo round up the Jews. They were not in uniform and were putting them into unmarked vans.
Cracking down on protestors in CA right before the No Kings protests. Hmmm...
It's no coincidence. Its a scare tactic. Also, a veiled warning that they are willing to continue to break the law
Not a coincidence!
So, you're not allowed to wear a Covid mask now. How long before we find out how many of these masked, nameless ICE agents are actually proud boys ?
I suspect all the proud boys are ICE and a lot of the people that stormed the Capitol on Jan 6. That's why they had to be pardoned, so Donnie could have his "boys" do his dirty work. Then he will make sure that they get the money they are suing for their crimes. He want's to bankrupt the US government, so that he and his rich friends are the only ones with money.

We know they are, why they were pardoned. His private militia.

zinc good idea
Where is "here"?
It makes it impossible for any accountability for the actions of these hooligans. Virtually everyone in any official capacity including Police, Army, FBI and CIA all have either a name and or a number. Even the MAGA arse lickers in the house and Senate have name tags.
On our payroll . . . the irony is incomprehensible and truly sick!
Hi SFGal,

Is this what the trump voters truly wanted? It's hard to believe that your friendly neighbor, mailman, doctor voted for this! They made a devil's bargain and have lost complete control of the evil they helped to birth. Were they truly this naive and ignorant to not be able to see where this would lead? Would they have voted differently if they had known that losing democracy and replacing it with full blown fascism would be the end result?
On his return to NJ this evening, Trump said, "We're going to have troops everywhere". Here it comes, folks: invocation of the Insurrection Act, a martial law decree, and cancellation of elections. LA is the Reichstag Fire. I predict the decree will be issued on Saturday as a result of the No Kings protests. He's absolutely salivating at the idea of a crackdown on all forms of dissent, and who the hell is going to stop him? Damn, he couldn't even wait six months.
I'm sticking to what I said since the first day I heard about this effin parade. It SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. it is what he has been waiting for. We're on our way to being North Korea
I read that the DC area protests are being held in the nearby states and nowhere near the fascist parade. 👹
Yes. The No Kings protests are all outside the parade area. They do want it boycotted so he cant rile up people to start shooting them.
Yes and he’ll be armed to the teeth with all his tanks where he needs them.
😢
you may well be right about next saturday. we all need to talk about this
He is priming the pump for Saturday, his birthday present to himself. American genocide.
RE: LA. Just remember, May 4, 1970. A little more than 55 years ago. Kent State. What happened when National Guard troops were deployed at a civilian protest. I thought we had learned.
Me too. I really did. For awhile now, I see we did not.
My stomach churns watching the over reaction and heavy handedness by police and ice against protesters. Ive commented my fears of military involvement in civilian protest before..i know about this as i grew up in Belfast during the Troubles. Regular people came out to protest legitimate grievances and were attacked by police...what did the government do to resolve this..they sent in the British army. The army doesnt police..they are trained to act against an enemy and in our case fired live rounds into civilian protests. And then the powers that be wondered why paramilitaries sprang up in force. Trump may think he is the strongman but this over reaction may result in a greater civil unrest and even civil war. Believe me the unthinkable happens when the idiots in charge dont think it through..
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." [JFK]
That is exactly my nightmare
Ours lasted 30years...if guns had been easier to get we might have killed each other with greater efficiency. I feel for you..truly 🧡
Belfast. Wow. That must have been intense. I dont think Americans are aware of what a country wide civil war will look like. Some I fear ,think its gonna be so great. I am terrified. I saw the riots in Newark, Also 9/11 . That was enough along with all the unrest of civil rights riots. The late 60s and thru the 70 s Now,this . Never, never, this bad. As horrible as that time was.
The fear is that americans have legal and plentiful access to weaponry...and they arent all on the side of the angels...lets hope coolers heads prevail eh?
Americans are loaded with guns, legal and illegal.
Yes, but the gun lobby excuse for no gun control is right out the window, isn't it? They always used to say they *needed* their guns so they could fight back against a tyrranical government. Well, here we are; where are they? Not saying much anymore, are they? Not that I ever thought they would. All hat, no cattle.
Well..exactly!
Lord Almighty. 4 months. Frankly I would be fine with bringing a squad of active duty marines into the action as long as the mission was to pick Petey Hogsbreath up by the balls and throwing him off the roof of the Pentagon.
Assuming he has any balls.
5 stories would be adequate.
Ron continues to provide the best value for news. Terry Moran is still reeling from Trumps explanation of the Declaration of Independence (“It’s a declaration…of love”) and forgot that he works for a weak kneed spineless corporate hackery exemplified by star struck Trump stenographer Jon Karl and blithering fool George S. He brought insight and accuracy to the American Goebbels. Not only is he suspended from ABC, more devastating will be his shunning by the DC Cocktail circuit.
Ron's analysis is critical for all Americans to read (but they won't or can't because they don't know it exists). Today's synopsis should be preserved for the future. And dovetailing this , HCR's videos about the lead up to the Declaration of Independence should be required viewing for all Americans, and I mean all.
I'm old school. I print out every single one of Ron's Bulletins. HCR too. As unbearable as the emails are (I might have to create an email addy just for substack, because frankly, I have lost control of my inbox,) and I hate the substack app, the fact that Ron's daily bulletins get over 800,000 reads I think is terrific. Plus he's on Blusky and still X. 77million people voted for Trump and are not interested in substack, can't get out of the Fox-hole, wouldn't pay for it, and most can't read above 5th grade level.Until a friend turned me on to HCR 2 years ago I never heard of her or Joyce Vance. Look how far Meidas Touch has gone. I wish there was a MTN streaming app with all the shows and content in one place, but truthfully, I don't have enough hours in the day anymore. I have many subs and voices I listen too. Ron is a MUST. I never miss him. I am a paid subscriber to almost every one from MTN with their own substack to support them, even if I just can't watch it all.
That's when I knew he was great because truthfully, I usually avoid any interviews with the Manchurian Cantaloupe, but that Declaration of Independence "What does it mean to you", and the look on his face like Trump had 3 heads nailed it for me 😂 Now the Stephen Miller tweet? Classic.
It’s like asking Noem what habeas corpus means. 🤦
😂 I don't know. I grew up at a time when I thought people who ran for office were smart and had experience, especially Governors. So when I saw Kristy Noem dancing on that stage when Donnie lost it the night of one of his conventions, rallies, or whatever he calls them, and said let's just play music and did his moves (that haven't changed since his Jeffrey Epstein days), where he looked like a mortifying drunk uncle at a wedding, I really knew we had lost it as a country. And electing the likes of that complete and utter moronic buffoon Tommy Tuberville who now wants to be Gov of Alabama, because he is so experienced and qualified to run a state 🙄
Moran will leave, become an Acosta, a Contrarian, a Meidas.
Over the cliff now.
ABCs loss…
Yes, and they already capitulated. So … we have a lot of new media forming, not answering to the moneyed interest.
I’ve been a journalist since the late 60s, and when the MBAs starting coming in as middle managers in the 70s, that’s when it all started to become a business more than real news media for the public interest.
Already Been Complicit.
May Moran thrive out of the poisoned hellhole of corporate media.
He's already joined substack. I signed up. It's a placeholder, but he will be here.
I’m old enuf to remember Maria Bartiroma b 4 the MAGA Fox worm got into her brain. Makes u wonder what goes on thst gets these people into the MAGA cult.
A big shoutout for Terry Moran for showing some spine on ABC. He’ll probably lose his job but not to worry, ones like Jim Acosta, Katie Phang etc. can show him how to find another way of life where he can be a truthful reporter. He nailed it absolutely correctly about Stephen Miller. Maybe he’s going to have some problems at home to keep him distracted for a while.
.me to Maria was so good at her job. Wall Street and money reporting. Smart. She really screwed her life up. For TACO
Honestly, I have run out of words to describe all that is happening in the country. So, Thank you, Ron and everyone here (except Pam the ozempic troll) for putting into words all that I feel.
