I think that once the Trump family is deposed they’ll be looking for inconsistencies in the testimonies and then they can jail them for at the very least perjury.
DOJ are lawyers. Those aren't judges and juries. Ivanka trump, Jared kushner, barron trump can all be convicted of perjury and imprisoned. Mel trump doesn't have legal immunity and can also be tried, convicted and imprisoned of perjury.
And Trump has no blanket immunity for illegal things done outside his duties as president and it’ll be the democrats who decide what his duties are, and are not.
“We frame economic power as a contest between capital and labor, but the real star of the American economy is consumer spending, which accounts for 68% of GDP. The Great Recession saw a 3.4% drop in consumer spending — at the time, the most severe year-over-year decline since World War II. The U.S. economy registered a 9.8% drop in consumer spending during the second quarter of 2020, when Covid shut down the world as we knew it. In both instances the U.S. government responded aggressively, spending hundreds of billions, primarily on bailouts, to pull us out of the Great Recession, and trillions, primarily in direct aid, to get us through the pandemic.
The lesson? When consumers stop spending, American leaders start listening. As Geo Hussar explained to his YouTube followers at the end of September, “this is not seizing the means of production, but seizing the means of consumption,” adding that if every American dropped their consumption, on average, by 2%, “that would be the most loud and potent form of protest.”
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.

I agree that consumer spending is our "persuader." If an organization wants to use the tool, it should announce a time period--maybe week or two. It should be at a time other than when non-discretionary spending is likely--as during Back to School preparations. Perhaps the last week in September or the first weekend in October. Effort should be made to get independent news on board to have the widest possible publicity. The messaging should be stark. "Let the Big Business know that Americans will not tolerate this unfair economy! Consumer spending is 68% of the GDP, so we can send a message! Spend only what is absolutely necessary. When you must spend, do it with local businesses or those that have stood up for ordinary Americans like Costco. Try to avoid sycophants like Target and Amazon. If we are united in this, we will be heard."
“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.
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.
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!, far, wide, and quickly, before the fascists takedown our means of communication.
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.

The best prosecutors are the ones who are those who already know the answers to the questions they ask the subpoenaed person. Often, unknown to those being questioned, they may have hard evidence Granted, we expect liars to always lie, and the "deflectors" to always hide. Sometimes, " lwe the people" will catch them in lies under oath. The point of Oversight Committee investigations is to get the facts on the public record as well as expose the perps and enablers for their role. It is for that reason, why I think we especially need sitting Senate and Congressional members in 2027-2034 to go torch earth (no softball questions) with their prosecutorial skills to back these rats to our republic into a corner.
Ever heard of perjury? Ever heard of a judge that says, oh fuck it. You lied to under oath, who gives a shit. Next. No. He would absolutely hold them in contempt and imprison them up to 5 yrs. They have no legal immunity. Why do you think they're immune?
Melanoma needs to get her story straight and I hope she gets subpoenaed and all the Epstein files come out and you and your grifter husband ends up in prison. You are definitely no lady
Mel, had something to do with ICE deporting 'the friend' to Brazil.......She has all but said the Mel was a hooker........Mel was doing nude lesbo photo shoots......they show them on Moscow TV......LOL LOL!!!
I'm not understanding why the Dems feel it necessary, or advantageous, to publish their intent before the mid-terms. Is it not better to wait rather than divulging their game plan prior to kick-off?
While it may be helpful, I don't think the Melania "effort" is what will bring voters to the polls. The Supreme Court is corrupted, the DOJ is corrupted, and the Attorney General is corrupt - that's what they're up against. Even if she should "spill the beans," what good will it do if Congress can't get its power back? She'll plead the 5th, Blanche will make sure she has protection, and out the window it goes until, and if, Congress figures out how to do anything with a justice system that's in ruins.
Plead the 5th? Like Dr. Fauci who is now being prosecuted did? Like that? Oh, what fun that would be!! I hope the democrats find a great lawyer to prosecute ol Mel! I hope it's televised! I hope she lies, as usual, so she can be prosecuted for perjury, obstruction of justice, and whatever else they throw her way. You know, tit for tat.
Thats how I feel every thing they plan to do is out there. Even President Trump what he plans to do in Iran is announced in the news before he claims he's going to do
He cares about POWER. He also enjoys watching cruelty, and enjoys acting cruelly toward women especially. I don't think he cares much about his family though, as he would sell them if he could get a good price. He's a malignant narcissist. They rarely care about anyone but themselves...and it's never their fault. lol
That helps get out the Republican vote. The announcement of the game plan comes from Democrat establishment who feel they are in safe seats. They want to keep democrats progressives from getting elected. Instructions from their Oligarchs and AIPAC handlers.
Melania just wants to be an occasional show 🐎. Between the outrage news of her husband's "binky" as his "office wife" and the upcoming Congressional oversight summoning Melania under oath, this month is a very bad month for Melania. Her dark past is coming to roost in 2027.
May her dark, disgusting past surface, making headlines all over the world, a prostitute, a whore, Jeffery EPSTEIN loved her, so much will come out .can't wait !!!
Hopefully they that bitch in the detention center in TX.
It is all but confirmed that Mel was a hooker and doing sex work........having ICE ship out her friend to Brazil was not the smartest move.......Mel has already fucked over another 'friend' Stephanie Walcoff and ruined her life.
can't wait until Melania finally gets cross-examined. she thinks she's exempt because she's just FLOTUS. I suspect she will plead the fifth and no one will want to charge her with contempt of congress. do you think she's hiding back in Slovenia? maybe visiting with her first husband who nobody can figure out if she divorced or not? Does somebody really think she deserves a peace prize? What the fuck has she done other than hide away from her husband and her “friend” Natalie harp. Honestly I think she's hiding with her lawyers trying to figure out how to invalidate her prenup to the donald. Other than doing another Melania movie for Jeff bezos what does she have to claim for fame? She is a waste of human flesh and is full of Botox and who knows what other fillers. If she's not with her lawyers trying to break the prenup, she must be writing her next movie. Or getting more plastic surgery.
Expanding executive privilege between presidents and WH staff cuts off all investigations into corruption, fraud, crime, etc. This is the goal of Blanche’s appointment to AG.
Being under oath doesn’t matter to these people stop acting like it’s something set in concrete. These people will lie to Jesus Christ in his face.
And then after they do there are no serious consequences for doing so.
I think that once the Trump family is deposed they’ll be looking for inconsistencies in the testimonies and then they can jail them for at the very least perjury.
Can they really jail them? As much as I'd like to see that accountability, Trump controls the Dept of Justice.
It will be up to us to vote this regime out of office so we can hold them accountable.
DOJ are lawyers. Those aren't judges and juries. Ivanka trump, Jared kushner, barron trump can all be convicted of perjury and imprisoned. Mel trump doesn't have legal immunity and can also be tried, convicted and imprisoned of perjury.
And Trump has no blanket immunity for illegal things done outside his duties as president and it’ll be the democrats who decide what his duties are, and are not.
But the Dems talk bs and nothing happens. Get rid of Schumer, too OLD and Jefferies, no backbone.
Don’t forget dip jr and his baby bro. Those two are getting no bid DOJ contracts after being told by daddy what companies to buy.
And as far as Melania goes, she be the 2nd one I’d pay extra taxes to Bucele to keep in CECOT.
I love this!!
Exa, get tough Democrats. So sick and tired of this party being weak, give me a Jon Osoff instead of a ice cream Jefferies.

Sharon, I so agree, so who will be announcing the date for the hold back on spending!!
100%. The following is from my proposal.

How to accomplish a Spending Strike

ABSOLUTELY
Perfect, liars always lie you couldn’t said it any better.
There is no honor among thieves…but may be able to make her noticeably squirm…
But he will no longer control Congress & probably won’t control the Senate after January when the Dems takeover after the midterms.
Either way, it’s going to be interesting and I’m getting my popcorn ready for the hearings!
it will mean something if we vote for people who feel as we do
💯
Ever heard of perjury? Ever heard of a judge that says, oh fuck it. You lied to under oath, who gives a shit. Next. No. He would absolutely hold them in contempt and imprison them up to 5 yrs. They have no legal immunity. Why do you think they're immune?
Nothing these people say can be trusted.
The Trump regime is a bigger danger to our country than Iran.
And to the world.
Melanoma needs to get her story straight and I hope she gets subpoenaed and all the Epstein files come out and you and your grifter husband ends up in prison. You are definitely no lady
Whatever happened to the exported Brazilian friend that was supposedly gonna spill the beans on Melania? Is she still alive?
Mel, had something to do with ICE deporting 'the friend' to Brazil.......She has all but said the Mel was a hooker........Mel was doing nude lesbo photo shoots......they show them on Moscow TV......LOL LOL!!!
Yes and she posts from time to time but you can tell she’s keeping it cool. They may have threatened her son.
She is a pathological liar. She's lied about her past, speaking several languages, denial of multiple plastic surgeries, a n d on and on.
Tates got son..
I’ve no idea but she wants to spill the beans because she was around and knows about Melania lying about it.
I'm not understanding why the Dems feel it necessary, or advantageous, to publish their intent before the mid-terms. Is it not better to wait rather than divulging their game plan prior to kick-off?
Because too many people, many of whom frequent these forums, are saying the Dems are just as bad as the Repubs because "they aren't doing anything."
They can't do much, if anything, as long as they are in the minority and Repubs also have the Presidency, SCOTUS, and many of the appellate Judges.
So they are somewhat forced to disclose what they will do if they can get voters to the polls so they can be the majority.
It's a no win situation for them right now.
While it may be helpful, I don't think the Melania "effort" is what will bring voters to the polls. The Supreme Court is corrupted, the DOJ is corrupted, and the Attorney General is corrupt - that's what they're up against. Even if she should "spill the beans," what good will it do if Congress can't get its power back?

I hope she lies, as usual, so she can be prosecuted for perjury, obstruction of justice, and whatever else they throw her way. You know, tit for tat.
Where'd that comment go I was replying to? That's weird....someone, can't remember the name, said Mel would just plead the 5th 😂
Thats how I feel every thing they plan to do is out there. Even President Trump what he plans to do in Iran is announced in the news before he claims he's going to do
Most of what he says has been to manipulate the market - it's all about the oil, and that's all it ever has been for him.
Pamela, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY is all he and his family care about!!!
He cares about POWER. He also enjoys watching cruelty, and enjoys acting cruelly toward women especially. I don't think he cares much about his family though, as he would sell them if he could get a good price. He's a malignant narcissist.

sad
Because it will only make people get out & vote for this!! 💙🤣💙🤣💙🤣💙
Melania is ugly inside and outside
Linda, I can’t believe any person feels Melanoma is beautiful. Her Plastic surgery just increased her slit eyes and her ugly face!!!
Melania just wants to be an occasional show 🐎. Between the outrage news of her husband's "binky" as his "office wife" and the upcoming Congressional oversight summoning Melania under oath, this month is a very bad month for Melania. Her dark past is coming to roost in 2027.

Hopefully they that bitch in the detention center in TX.
Wouldn't that be an awesome day !
Penny, yes a great day for celebration!!!
Yes !!!!! A holiday !!!!
One we can all relate to, and find joy in.
the euro trash shows only if paid$$
Wow, no First Lady has done things like Melania like posing naked like a sex worker, or a ho…
It is all but confirmed that Mel was a hooker and doing sex work........having ICE ship out her friend to Brazil was not the smartest move.......Mel has already fucked over another 'friend' Stephanie Walcoff and ruined her life.
She was also a Russian agent. lol
Well, Ben you have got some fire in your belly today I like it.💙🩵💙🩵🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Get Melania's Ass!!
Natalie is a troubled person
Maybe she is taking care of Mitch
can't wait until Melania finally gets cross-examined. she thinks she's exempt because she's just FLOTUS. I suspect she will plead the fifth and no one will want to charge her with contempt of congress. do you think she's hiding back in Slovenia? maybe visiting with her first husband who nobody can figure out if she divorced or not?

If she's not with her lawyers trying to break the prenup, she must be writing her next movie. Or getting more plastic surgery.
I don’t expect the truth out of any republican, especially a trump.
Well, I don't believe there is a Republican Party anymore...it's morphed into the MAGA Party. And I don't expect the truth from any MAGA.
Expanding executive privilege between presidents and WH staff cuts off all investigations into corruption, fraud, crime, etc. This is the goal of Blanche’s appointment to AG.
💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙
She shouldn't get a free pass
