… WaPo reports that Trump will now attend the unprecedented meeting with hundreds of the most senior US generals and admirals from around the world who have been ordered to a briefing which was supposed to be a lecture from Pete Hegseth about the “warrior ethos.” It sure is sounding more and more like this meeting is really about demanding personal loyalty to Hegseth and Trump.
When I first heard of this meeting with all generals and admirals, I wondered if it was to swear an oath of field to Trump and renounce their oath to the constitution. I sure hope I am wrong and I hope that the multitude would reject him outright and keep their oath to the constitution.
This is what I wrote to Ron, Ben, Scott Dworkin, Marc Elias, my two Senators and my House Rep, yesterday:
"Please bring total focus to Hegseth’s exceptionally anti-American, anti-National Security ACTION.
This meeting must NOT HAPPEN & that gathering MUST BE STOPPED.
My late night letter to my Rep and Senators:
"Sir/Madam, we have met - quite some time ago.
I was an Officer in the US Navy in the early 1970s. My main duty station was the Defense Intelligence Agency due to my outstanding academic performance at the joint Navy, Air Force Air Intelligence School in Denver, CO.
With that background, I have a simple message -- it is beyond fucking insane to gather the entirety of the "Flag Leadership" of the US Armed Forces at a single GPS location.
That meeting must be stopped and Hegseth removed from duty before he wittingly or unwittingly enables a National Security nightmare the likes of which this Nation has never experienced.
For National Security & Operational Integrity reasons, those Officers should refuse to attend because the order is a monumental threat to them and our Nation.
I agree even William Finnegan a former DOD guy said he said in meetings and they had hundreds of these and they dealt with stuff all over the world over video and audio and it worked just fine there's no point in spending money taxpayer again to fly these people on commercial airliners no less that Putin can probably Jam the GPS is on him and crash them or whatever yes I agree this is a national security nightmare
Well, the brain trust now ruling this country aren't concerned about national security. These people aren't just incompetent; they are insane. Look at the quote from John Thune, a man who in the before times was seen as reasonable and relatively moderate. I suspect he's just feigning crazy, but that only makes him loathsome as well as dangerous. This country is on the verge of total collapse and we are all in extreme peril.
It is , and plenty can go wrong, I'm just hoping that some of these guys actually adhere to their constitutional oath and either don't show up or show up and then walk out
Only a minority (perhaps 20%) will be brave enough to step forward and lose their stars and stripe careers and pensions. 50% will waver, wait and see 30% will be all gung ho commando
I am hoping for each heart to be turned to their higher power to give them courage to honorable and true to their oaths, despite the sacrifice. I will be thrilled if my cynicism doesn't pay off!!
Stephen Miller is the bottomfeeding pile of dog shit that Cankles just steps in and laughs. A Nazi 'wannabe" dresses up in storm tropper costume and gets on Grindr
Never underestimate a hard core narcissist like Cankles. Even Miller could fall out of a 30 story hotel room........be involved in a mysterious roll over that went off a cliff.
My late father was a raging alcoholic, and it killed him but I can tell you and we all know this when you drink an excess like PD here it starts screwing with your mind becomes a lot less crisp a lot slower and reasoning maybe other stuff I seriously consider Pete has to be majorly compromised
If the felon were to force an oath of allegiance to him, 85% of the room would walk out. He won't take that risk. These officers swear by the Constitution and to execute lawful orders, not any order. And the Commander in Chief is not in the chain of command. And, I suspect that most if not all of these officers have contempt for Hegseth--an ex-Army major. Generals don't take orders from an ex- major unless he has earned their respect. And Hegseth has done nothing except to disrupt the military and fire a lot of their friends.
The point is to stage a video of military people standing to attention and sitting there while he and Hegseth rant. Later the video will be edited to appear that the felon is in charge and has all the power. It's propaganda. It will no doubt look exactly like one of those newsreels of Hitler speaking in front of ranks of generals, but in color.
The felon and Hegseth must be very confident they hold the upper hand. In other times and places an autocrat would never have the military in one place with him for fear of a military coup.
I think the opposite. I've heard 15-20% would only walk the plank. We'll see, if all survive this weekend what with drones and spies and fake FBI agents....
I guess we'll see, but I can't discount the real ethos and culture of career military men and women. They take care of each other. They have similar experiences, often difficult ones. They are physically courageous. And they know politicians come and go. Sure, some are rivals, some are careerists, some take bribes from overseas port operators, but on Tuesday they are all in the same room together and they will be watching each other. Who is going to sell out the rationale of his entire career and go back to try to command his subordinates as a Trump quisling? Some might, but I don't think most will.
I agree. And add that gathering all these leaders together in one place provides an irresistible opportunity to the enemies of the US, as they can kill the entire leadership of the US military with one strike.
With such "fine" leadership from Jeffries and Schumer we're circling the drain. They're playing by old fashioned church rules when we need someone that's going for the jugular.
I have been naive about Jeffries. How can he support Adams? It makes no sense to me. Now, for me, nothing Jeffries says can be trusted. He must be replaced.
I initially had high hopes for him, but he was NOT built for this moment..........and neither was schumer. They'd both do the nation a huge favor by recognizing that and stepping aside...OR at least by procuring some really talented, KNOWLEDGABLE advisors... same for CLULESS ken martin.
There is a moment for "peacetime" leaders and then there is the moment for "wartime" leaders. Consider Kimmel v Nimitz. Or McClellan v Grant. The Democrats need a Grant right now. He wasn't afraid of Lee because he knew he, Grant, had more men and ammo. And Democratic "Grant" knows how weak Trump is, how time is not on his side, that there is no margin in the House, and, Epstein is out there. Shut it down.
DNC Chair Ken Martin and his "pity parties". You know Ken, if it is so difficult for you, you can always resign.
Another subject, Tom Homan from a previous bulletin...he keeps saying he hasn't seen his wife for months because he is working so hard rounding up "illegals" (nobody appreciates all of his sacrifices) and he doesn't want to bring the death threats, that he receives, home to her. I think she took the 50k and left him. Or changed the locks on the door. LMAO!
Tom Homan is no Kash Patel that is for sure. Kash always finds an excuse to take government planes to Nashville from Las Vegas where Kash lives and works (he's not in DC) and where his girl friend lives.
Hakeem and Schumer are responsive to AIPAC and Wall Street, not the democratic voters, so I am not surprised of his feckles response. You can bet that he will end up endorsing Cuomo at the last minute because those are his marching orders from Wall Street and AIPAC.
This would be the perfect opportune time for the top military leaders to take both into custody and order the arrest of all the others involved in this regime. They need to stand up for their oath to the Constitution. They could end this nightmare.
If this is a rerun of Hitler's Aug. 1934 move, any military general/admiral who agrees to pledge fealty to Bone Spurs rather than their oath to defend the Constitution, should be court martialled. F*ck the MAGA congress; they should be chased out like George Santos.
So much to absorb, I'll just ask one question for the 20th time: what with Clarence Thomas trying to drag us all back to the 1940s or earlier by rewriting the Constitution, when is he planning to reverse Loving v Virginia? Is he prepared to accept the consequences that a Black man would face if he even looked at a white woman back then, much less said aloud that he intended to marry her?
Poor old angry Clarence is just upset that the black community never accepted him as the replacement of Thurgal Marshall. He's a corrupt embarrassment and he is angry and full of vengeance. He will be leaving the Court before Trump leaves office.
And I bet he got one of his personal sponsors to pay for it, like the Trump Gold Card Visa (as in immigration, not credit card) that cost, what, $100K? $500K?
I have never considered Ginny Thomas as a woman ! She is more like a bus without brakes. They are a political party of their own and she is the brain Clarence the enforcer.
Yes, I read his remarks about substantive due process. Our liberty rights we all have but not written out in the constitution, he went after Griswold, the right of women to access birth control, Lawrence v Texas the right of gay ppl to have private sex, but he DIDN'T go after Loving v Virginia the right of interracial marriage. All were based on substantive due process. He coyly skipped that one for over turning.
Not that it makes any difference to him, but can DJT just hand over $20 million to anyone without Congressional approval? I thought Congress had control over the purse strings.
Congress always turns over their power to Chump. They love their dick-tater. If they all were law and Constitutional-abiding, yes, it would have to go thru Congress.
Yeah, isn’t that wonderful to hear??? That was cringe worthy to hear, but not hard to believe!!! Our poor farmers especially the ones that didn’t vote for the Tyrant!!! And will the US ever be trusted again??? Or will other countries be reluctant to get involved with us again due to the impending continuation of the MAGA cult possibly occupying the White House in the future??? GOD FORBID!!!
Support Meidas Touch on Substack, the ACLU, DSCC (Senate Democrats), DCCC (House Democrats), the LGBTQ Victory Fund, Democratic Governors and your local/state Democrats - monthly - FOREVER.
Take back the House. Take back the Senate. Take back the White House. LFG!
Thanks for the rundown. Of all the crazy shit, this is just over the top. Nutnick really is a a nut.
More Nutnick: “The President cares about America. Anyone who suggests he cares about his own economics is making it up. Sometimes he’ll speak like ‘give it to me’. He doesn’t actually mean ‘me’. He means ‘me’ for America. I’ve watched and never once has he given a hoot about himself, his family, his economics.”
The country was lost when Trump was never held to account for J6. An insurrection. An effing insurrection, and the GOP said Ok, Merrick Garland studied his navel and Americans reelected him.
As for the farmers: hell no. They can demand their quisling members of Congress to revoke the tariffs and provide them the markets they seek. Socialism for them but capitalism for everyone else. No more.
Bingo!! All anyone ever needed to know about the dictator was revealed on January 6. And America has got literally the stupidest, dumbest farmers on the planet. Ii’s a wonder they know how to grow crops.
Where is Merritt "No backbone " Garland.? Anyone seen or heard from that feckless judge. He will go down as the worst AG in history. Thank God he was not confirmed as Supreme Court Justice.
“It’s the economy, stupid” as James Carville famously told Bill Clinton. It was then, and still is, in politics. The reelection of His Royal Heinous is largely attributed to the misperceived state of the economy. That’s what must be attacked, not individual corporations. The overall economy must suffer before the Greedy Bastards will pay attention.
HRH will not destroy the economy on his own (TACO). He will find a way to prop it up (like lower interest rates) because the economy and stock market are his report card and key to keeping power. The key to keeping power, as it is in Russia, China, Hungary, Turkey. They give the people a somewhat decent standard of living, and in exchange, the people have no political power. Only the autocrat has that. Unlimited.
Our best chance of success lies in obtaining high profile, national leadership and spokespersons. Fragmented, unknown groups leading the charge might work but would take much longer, and time is of the essence. Since the Disney boycott there have been more “bigger” names taking up the cause.
There will have to be a great amount of grassroot support before a national “leader” will take up the cause. Most of our supposed leaders are really followers of movements. They’ll get out front after it’s shown to have popular support. So, we recruit more foot soldiers, like ourselves, and spread the word on various Substacks and other social media platforms.
After mustering much grassroots support we can then approach some Substack writers who have many subscribers and appeal to them to take up the cause and spread the word. Writers like Jen Rubin, Steve Schmidt, Robert Reich, Heather Richardson, Paul Krugman. Again, a good amount of grassroots support will have to be demonstrated.
We will need an organized effort to encourage those writers to concentrate on this method of opposition. Possibly coordinated mass emails to them promoting the idea, or coordinated posts to their Substacks.
Then, hopefully, one or more national leaders will take up the cause. Possibly a steering committee composed of left, center and right individuals, but not current office holders. It should be seen as non partisan.
This will be a tough sell. Americans are addicted to buying. We are brainwashed from the cradle by advertising, popular culture, peer pressure, to consume. If you want to be happy and fulfilled, you must have this or that product. To overcome this, our fellow citizens must be convinced that this is the only viable peaceful solution to stop and reverse the fascist takeover. And it is.
Defeating the fascists in WWII did not happen without sacrifice from the citizens of the Allied countries. We will have to sacrifice to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of our country. We can sacrifice a little now or a much greater amount later. What kind of world will our children and grandchildren live in if we allow this to continue? Spending Strike, Spending Freeze, Spending Suspension, Spending Pause, Economic Disengagement, Economic Warfare, Stop Spending!, even Boycott. Choose your favorite but Do It, and Spread the Word!
If a single dollar doubles every day for 30 days, it reaches a total of over $536 million ($536,870,912) at the end of the 30th day.
So, would it follow, that a single voice that doubled everyday would become 536 million voices after 30 days? That seems doable.
If Schumer's going into this meeting on Monday with the word hope and he's got the wrong approach this is the same thing that Trump chews up and spits out every time somebody walks into the Oval Office he needs to go in there with absolute strict two or three thing items that are very hard line no negotiation. It's this or we walk you own the destruction of the government. full stop.
And if he fucks this up I tell you right now I'm going to call his office about 40 times tomorrow and I'm going to say you suck you suck you suck you're done get the fuck out of government and we hate your ass
I remember Nancy Pelosi meeting Trump and standing up and pointing a finger at him, while saying he was Putin's poodle. (She said it nicer.) Jeffries + Schumer = capitulation
Please don't expect Jeffries and Schumer to be Pelosi like. Those two already has their marching orders from Wall Street and AIPAC. Trump fears Nancy, Maxine Watters, AOC and Jazmine Crocket because they don't back down. He has no respect for either Schumer nor Hakeem because he's aware of to whom they respond. Trump is from NY and knows it politics.
When I first heard of this meeting with all generals and admirals, I wondered if it was to swear an oath of field to Trump and renounce their oath to the constitution. I sure hope I am wrong and I hope that the multitude would reject him outright and keep their oath to the constitution.

We've been conducting multi-site, secure, video discussions for more than 2 decades!
Thank you for your concurrence that "... whatever yes I agree this is a national security nightmare."
Well, the brain trust now ruling this country aren't concerned about national security. These people aren't just incompetent; they are insane.

I suspect he's just feigning crazy, but that only makes him loathsome as well as dangerous. This country is on the verge of total collapse and we are all in extreme peril.
Those were my first thoughts
Remember the Hegseth social media leaks over the bombing, same guy. No idea of what he is doing.
I am very concerned about this meeting. It seems so “Hitler-esque. What could go wrong?
It is , and plenty can go wrong, I'm just hoping that some of these guys actually adhere to their constitutional oath and either don't show up or show up and then walk out
I have to believe a majority of them are beholden to the Constitution and would never betray their country.
I truly hope you're right we're going to find out very shortly
Only a minority (perhaps 20%) will be brave enough to step forward and lose their stars and stripe careers and pensions. 50% will waver, wait and see 30% will be all gung ho commando
OMGosh, that is not good news. I can only hope and pray that their conscience leads them to be on the right side of history.
I am hoping for each heart to be turned to their higher power to give them courage to honorable and true to their oaths, despite the sacrifice. I will be thrilled if my cynicism doesn't pay off!!
I can't think of a single scenario that could go right.
Me neither Nacee, it is bad, it is all very very bad.
Trump is the #2 enemy of life in our universe. The #1 enemy is Satan himself
I don’t believe in Satan as a living entity but trump embodies the spirit of Satan.
Agree.
"Satan" is at best a metaphor for the unique human ability to be EVIL.
Evil exists in the knowable universe in one readily verifiable form - Homo sapiens.
True dat!
God,Satan,are spirits…GOD created Satan…
That is only your opinion.
But Donnie's gaining on him.
Donnie IS him.
Good one Harris, good one.
If you’re referring to Stephen Miller as Satan, I agree!
Stephen Miller is the bottomfeeding pile of dog shit that Cankles just steps in and laughs. A Nazi 'wannabe" dresses up in storm tropper costume and gets on Grindr
Hmmm...that's a toss-up, or at least contemplating it results in tossing one's cookies. Steve vs. Donnie, I mean.
miller thiel vought are the real evil deceiver.
Evil 👿 creators of these racist fascists nazis policies, trump with his third grade aptitude figures out !What to say.
Trump is not that smart. Miller thiel Vought
Never underestimate a hard core narcissist like Cankles. Even Miller could fall out of a 30 story hotel room........be involved in a mysterious roll over that went off a cliff.
This actually doesn't scream "huge national security risk, especially since you've announced who will attend and where and what time" at all.
Right? It's hard to know if this is as blatant a set-up as one could get, or if he's so freaking stupid that he has no clue what could happen.
I would go with stupid or drunk on power. Why is it the weakest men always get promoted . This guy should be washing dishes at mc donalds.
My late father was a raging alcoholic, and it killed him but I can tell you and we all know this when you drink an excess like PD here it starts screwing with your mind becomes a lot less crisp a lot slower and reasoning maybe other stuff I seriously consider Pete has to be majorly compromised
Good point. His mind is so messed up he doesn’t get what a buffoon he is calling himself secretary of war…🙄
What did the dishes at McDonald's ever to do you?
😉
No offense to McDonalds but they have a reputation as not a healthy place to eat and hiring teens who spit on your food.
I hope you didn't mean that the way I heard it. I'm hoping they don't hire teens specifically because they agree to spit in the food.
I vote he is that stupid
I wish Vance were going along with them.
Not from me, I agree with you ramona
I bet you're right. :-)
Like signal gate but about 5 times worse
one well placed nuclear warhead?
Drones are quite effective these days.
Or even a handful of drones.
prefer that at a cabinet meeting with Vance & Johnson present.
Really?
My very first thought as well.
If the felon were to force an oath of allegiance to him, 85% of the room would walk out. He won't take that risk. These officers swear by the Constitution and to execute lawful orders, not any order. And the Commander in Chief is not in the chain of command. And, I suspect that most if not all of these officers have contempt for Hegseth--an ex-Army major. Generals don't take orders from an ex- major unless he has earned their respect. And Hegseth has done nothing except to disrupt the military and fire a lot of their friends.
The point is to stage a video of military people standing to attention and sitting there while he and Hegseth rant.

In the National Guard, he is and ex-major in the National Guard
👇🏼. 👇🏼. 👇🏼
And, I suspect that most if not all of these officers have contempt for Hegseth--an ex-Army major.
I think the opposite. I've heard 15-20% would only walk the plank. We'll see, if all survive this weekend what with drones and spies and fake FBI agents....
I guess we'll see, but I can't discount the real ethos and culture of career military men and women. They take care of each other. They have similar experiences, often difficult ones. They are physically courageous. And they know politicians come and go.

Who is going to sell out the rationale of his entire career and go back to try to command his subordinates as a Trump quisling? Some might, but I don't think most will.
We can only hope they do the right thing. It's the only way out of this nightmare.
This is s. miller's doing.
Everything is Millers doing.
That seems spot on
I think you may be right.
I agree. And add that gathering all these leaders together in one place provides an irresistible opportunity to the enemies of the US, as they can kill the entire leadership of the US military with one strike.
It's a stupid thing to do.
Same
Hakeem Jeffroes statement on dirty ass Eric Adam's tells you how weak and feckless he truly is.
With such "fine" leadership from Jeffries and Schumer we're circling the drain. They're playing by old fashioned church rules when we need someone that's going for the jugular.
I am afraid the Democratic Party is never going to get its act together unless they change their leadership
They're in on it.
We need Gavin Newsom, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Goldman, Schiff, Raskin, Whitehouse, and the others that have been speaking out.
That Goldman is pretty good.
So is Swalwel.
Yes! Swalwell is speaking out, too. And I forgot some others. Sorry!
I know Schiff takes from AIPAC not sure about the others but any that do either need to stop or be removed.
I agree these guys time is over. Congress was never supposed to be a career!
Seriously! Prosecutors from the once venerated SDNY walked out when the deal was made to drop charges against Adams. WTF Hakeem?
I have been naive about Jeffries. How can he support Adams? It makes no sense to me. Now, for me, nothing Jeffries says can be trusted. He must be replaced.
I was in the same boat as you Richard. I thought Hakeem Jeffries was pretty good, heart in the right place, remember when he filibustered?
But his praising of Eric Adams has really opened my eyes to him like nothing else before.
Me too
Eric Adams⁉️
Good bye, Jeffries 👋
I initially had high hopes for him, but he was NOT built for this moment..........and neither was schumer. They'd both do the nation a huge favor by recognizing that and stepping aside...OR at least by procuring some really talented, KNOWLEDGABLE advisors... same for CLULESS ken martin.
There is a moment for "peacetime" leaders and then there is the moment for "wartime" leaders. Consider Kimmel v Nimitz. Or McClellan v Grant. The Democrats need a Grant right now. He wasn't afraid of Lee because he knew he, Grant, had more men and ammo. And Democratic "Grant" knows how weak Trump is, how time is not on his side, that there is no margin in the House, and, Epstein is out there. Shut it down.
But Trump is closer to Jefferson Davis than Lincoln.
DNC Chair Ken Martin and his "pity parties". You know Ken, if it is so difficult for you, you can always resign.
Another subject, Tom Homan from a previous bulletin...he keeps saying he hasn't seen his wife for months because he is working so hard rounding up "illegals" (nobody appreciates all of his sacrifices) and he doesn't want to bring the death threats, that he receives, home to her. I think she took the 50k and left him. Or changed the locks on the door. LMAO!
lol.......................... if she's smart...
Tom Homan is no Kash Patel that is for sure. Kash always finds an excuse to take government planes to Nashville from Las Vegas where Kash lives and works (he's not in DC) and where his girl friend lives.
I actually was shocked he said that. Adams is the most corrupt NYC mayor I can recall in my lifetime.
I threw up a bit in my mouth reading that statement. Honorably? Is that like Tom & $50k in a paper bag honorably? 🤯
Hakeem and Schumer are responsive to AIPAC and Wall Street, not the democratic voters, so I am not surprised of his feckles response. You can bet that he will end up endorsing Cuomo at the last minute because those are his marching orders from Wall Street and AIPAC.
Agree. Adam's is a sleeve ball.
Exactly! It's disgusting. They're all complicit - both Republicans and Democrats.
This would be the perfect opportune time for the top military leaders to take both into custody and order the arrest of all the others involved in this regime. They need to stand up for their oath to the Constitution. They could end this nightmare.
I imagine this in my dreams. If only.
If this is a rerun of Hitler's Aug. 1934 move, any military general/admiral who agrees to pledge fealty to Bone Spurs rather than their oath to defend the Constitution, should be court martialled. F*ck the MAGA congress; they should be chased out like George Santos.
And if that doesn't happen in this Congress it will happen in the next Dem controlled congress.
That would be great! Put the 🍊🫏 n woman beater in same cell!!
For life!!!
So much to absorb, I'll just ask one question for the 20th time: what with Clarence Thomas trying to drag us all back to the 1940s or earlier by rewriting the Constitution, when is he planning to reverse Loving v Virginia? Is he prepared to accept the consequences that a Black man would face if he even looked at a white woman back then, much less said aloud that he intended to marry her?
He thinks it would apply to everyone except him.
Clarence is the whitest black man in America
Trump is using him and will stab him in the back and put Cannon in his place.
She might even be worse
He'd have a hard time explaining that.
They don't seem to care if they need to explain anything
Of course! Rules don't apply....
Poor old angry Clarence is just upset that the black community never accepted him as the replacement of Thurgal Marshall. He's a corrupt embarrassment and he is angry and full of vengeance. He will be leaving the Court before Trump leaves office.
To be replaced by either Emile Bove or Aileen Cannon.
Barf.
Getting Loving v. Virginia overturned might be the easiest way for ole Clarence to rid himself of his lovely wife.
It's hard to know who would leave more stain on the other.
He probably thinks he has an honorary White Card👹
And I bet he got one of his personal sponsors to pay for it, like the Trump Gold Card Visa (as in immigration, not credit card) that cost, what, $100K? $500K?
I have never considered Ginny Thomas as a woman ! She is more like a bus without brakes. They are a political party of their own and she is the brain Clarence the enforcer.
Speaking of the Justice's wives, somebody should drive past the Alito house and see what flag Martha is flying lately.
My thoughts exactly.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Loving were overturned 5-4 - no need for Clarence's vote?
It would be great, but most of the six are pretty tight (as in personal relationships, not state of sobriety, but then who knows?).
That might be a temptation they just can't resist with no roadblocks.
Yes, I read his remarks about substantive due process. Our liberty rights we all have but not written out in the constitution, he went after Griswold, the right of women to access birth control, Lawrence v Texas the right of gay ppl to have private sex, but he DIDN'T go after Loving v Virginia the right of interracial marriage. All were based on substantive due process. He coyly skipped that one for over turning.
Can't imagine how he missed that one. 🙄
That Oval Office is hideous. I cringe every time it’s shown on tv
It's like a caricature of Saddam Hussein's palace(s).
Vulgar comes to mind.
It makes me sad and mad and embarrassed.
It looks like a high-class bordello—or at least as I picture one. Very appropriate that he’d feel comfortable there.
Low class bordello
Not high class.! Like a dollar store version!
He should have the budget of a public school teacher ÷ by 10.
I freaked out when I saw it, too! 🤢
“Good thing fossil fuels aren’t flammable.” In the midst of all of this political horror that line made me chuckle out loud.
Ron is a wonderful writer‼️
✌️😃👍
Wish he had less raw ore to process.
Ron, that meeting on Tuesday, as I've previously written to you and Ben, is a NATIONAL SECURITY BREACH of UNPRECEDENTED SCALE.
You folk should be sounding a FIVE ALARM ALERT OVER ALL MEDIAS NETWORK & Affiliated Channels.
One strike could take out all the top brass and the president. It’s really not safe!
Precisely.
I would hate to lose the top brass. The rest have it coming.

Wonder how the farmers are feeling with TACO giving Argentina a $20 BILLION bail out and China buying Argentina's soy beans? UN...F....Believable.

Yeah, isn’t that wonderful to hear??? That was cringe worthy to hear, but not hard to believe!!! Our poor farmers especially the ones that didn’t vote for the Tyrant!!!

Thanks for the rundown. Of all the crazy shit, this is just over the top. Nutnick really is a a nut.
More Nutnick: “The President cares about America. Anyone who suggests he cares about his own economics is making it up. Sometimes he’ll speak like ‘give it to me’. He doesn’t actually mean ‘me’. He means ‘me’ for America. I’ve watched and never once has he given a hoot about himself, his family, his economics.”
🙄😜😝😂
more material for SNL
Can Nutlick really be that stupid?
No he’s making $bank too
I was wondering if his mouth was twitching when he said that, as he was trying to stifle a loud guffaw.
Lay off the sauce! Really hope you were kidding!🙏
Some days I don’t know which to do first; laugh or cry. Lately it’s been coming out as a combo.

You are kidding, right? Fetterman is a sell out and I’ve never heard of Moran.
The country was lost when Trump was never held to account for J6. An insurrection. An effing insurrection, and the GOP said Ok, Merrick Garland studied his navel and Americans reelected him.
As for the farmers: hell no. They can demand their quisling members of Congress to revoke the tariffs and provide them the markets they seek. Socialism for them but capitalism for everyone else. No more.
78% of agricultural dependent counties voted for Trump
78%
This is what they voted for, Trump said over and over in his campaigning that he was going to implement tariffs, and the farmers voted for that.
So they got their wish, now they can sit in the same boat all the rest of us are sitting in.
No hand outs to farmers!

Bingo!! All anyone ever needed to know about the dictator was revealed on January 6. And America has got literally the stupidest, dumbest farmers on the planet. Ii’s a wonder they know how to grow crops.
Where is Merritt "No backbone " Garland.? Anyone seen or heard from that feckless judge. He will go down as the worst AG in history. Thank God he was not confirmed as Supreme Court Justice.
No idea, just like liz Cheney
How to accomplish a Spending Strike
“It’s the economy, stupid” as James Carville famously told Bill Clinton. It was then, and still is, in politics. The reelection of His Royal Heinous is largely attributed to the misperceived state of the economy. That’s what must be attacked, not individual corporations. The overall economy must suffer before the Greedy Bastards will pay attention.
HRH will not destroy the economy on his own (TACO). He will find a way to prop it up (like lower interest rates) because the economy and stock market are his report card and key to keeping power. The key to keeping power, as it is in Russia, China, Hungary, Turkey. They give the people a somewhat decent standard of living, and in exchange, the people have no political power. Only the autocrat has that. Unlimited.
Our best chance of success lies in obtaining high profile, national leadership and spokespersons. Fragmented, unknown groups leading the charge might work but would take much longer, and time is of the essence. Since the Disney boycott there have been more “bigger” names taking up the cause.
There will have to be a great amount of grassroot support before a national “leader” will take up the cause. Most of our supposed leaders are really followers of movements. They’ll get out front after it’s shown to have popular support. So, we recruit more foot soldiers, like ourselves, and spread the word on various Substacks and other social media platforms.
After mustering much grassroots support we can then approach some Substack writers who have many subscribers and appeal to them to take up the cause and spread the word. Writers like Jen Rubin, Steve Schmidt, Robert Reich, Heather Richardson, Paul Krugman. Again, a good amount of grassroots support will have to be demonstrated.
We will need an organized effort to encourage those writers to concentrate on this method of opposition. Possibly coordinated mass emails to them promoting the idea, or coordinated posts to their Substacks.
Then, hopefully, one or more national leaders will take up the cause. Possibly a steering committee composed of left, center and right individuals, but not current office holders. It should be seen as non partisan.
This will be a tough sell. Americans are addicted to buying. We are brainwashed from the cradle by advertising, popular culture, peer pressure, to consume. If you want to be happy and fulfilled, you must have this or that product. To overcome this, our fellow citizens must be convinced that this is the only viable peaceful solution to stop and reverse the fascist takeover. And it is.
Defeating the fascists in WWII did not happen without sacrifice from the citizens of the Allied countries. We will have to sacrifice to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of our country. We can sacrifice a little now or a much greater amount later. What kind of world will our children and grandchildren live in if we allow this to continue? Spending Strike, Spending Freeze, Spending Suspension, Spending Pause, Economic Disengagement, Economic Warfare, Stop Spending!, even Boycott. Choose your favorite but Do It, and Spread the Word!
If a single dollar doubles every day for 30 days, it reaches a total of over $536 million ($536,870,912) at the end of the 30th day.
So, would it follow, that a single voice that doubled everyday would become 536 million voices after 30 days? That seems doable.
BERNIE WAS RIGHT
ABOUT EVERYTHING
Now that thar would make a good hat
I pray for this every day. On some days, I pray twice.
Likewise. Please, some Divine Intervention!
If Schumer's going into this meeting on Monday with the word hope and he's got the wrong approach this is the same thing that Trump chews up and spits out every time somebody walks into the Oval Office he needs to go in there with absolute strict two or three thing items that are very hard line no negotiation. It's this or we walk you own the destruction of the government. full stop.
And if he fucks this up I tell you right now I'm going to call his office about 40 times tomorrow and I'm going to say you suck you suck you suck you're done get the fuck out of government and we hate your ass
I remember Nancy Pelosi meeting Trump and standing up and pointing a finger at him, while saying he was Putin's poodle. (She said it nicer.) Jeffries + Schumer = capitulation
Please don't expect Jeffries and Schumer to be Pelosi like. Those two already has their marching orders from Wall Street and AIPAC. Trump fears Nancy, Maxine Watters, AOC and Jazmine Crocket because they don't back down. He has no respect for either Schumer nor Hakeem because he's aware of to whom they respond. Trump is from NY and knows it politics.
