He told us exactly what he planned to do — dismantle democracy, destroy the Constitution, and rule unchecked. The real tragedy? We still aren’t listening.
I agree other than protesting and boycotting what can we do? I call every Sunday all of congress. Not that it means anything but I do it. I think we need a country wide strike.
Just hell no to trump’s project 2025 n the ahole heritage foundation, miller , cheung, the he entire corrupt, incompetent, greedy, grifting po💩cabinet n administration!
hey another lbrown! There must be 200 million of us. I had another one on my street who I'm very sad to say was in a militia and making pipe bombs!!! I'm thinking about changing my name to Zbronski or something! lol
And the media to cover it!! Where will those correspondents be?? Send the veteran journalists. Or call foreign media!!
I seriously want to believe what I saw (with tears in my eyes- for Z) at Francis’ funeral but he’s still peddling RRRsssia’s demands! Call all of those geniuses who are saying he will put a 🛑 to Putisimisimo.
We need more energy out there! Geez people, someone said the other day that Americans don’t have experience with authoritarian regimes so there is no urgency to protest because people think it’ll pass! NO it won’t! He’ll be more emboldened because Congress and the SCOTUS have been bought. Why aren’t all DEMs united to protest ! Are they afraid they’ll endorse someone over the other one?! This is about our future but also about our present.
We billboards through America. I know it's probably impossible but We need other Countries to help us out, I don't have the slightest idea How. HIT'em in their pockets. Those Republicans need to start thinking about the American people rather their own interests and their jobs.
If you listen to the folks who know the history of overcoming autocracies, it takes at least massive - multimillion people protests in one place to start being more effective in resistance. Walk outs from workplaces the same day.
But where are the former military leaders who were fired, resigned or retired to help lead the resistance?
Dems and Repubs could impeach (House), convict (Senate), and remove him from office. This could be done immediately, and be over in a few days. A bipartisan coalition government would serve from now to the 2028 election. Do it now! Do it to protect the Constitution.
The problem with this is Vance. He’s really the guy the Heritage Society, America First and the authors of Project 2025 want. The only reason they haven’t “eliminated “ Trump is he is the epicenter of the brainwashed 42% cult. Honestly, I’d take my chances with a military coup before Vance.
Agree. And yes, Vance is particularly involved in P2025, bought n paid for by Thiel and other high tech billionaires, specifically to replace Trump. So that has likely been the plan all along.
If Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution expelling government officials who broke their oath of office were enforced, we could get rid of Mike Johnson, MTG & many more congressional parasites. This would also eliminate Trump, Vance & the vast majority of Trump appointments. The remainder could be removed by nullifying the fraudulent 2024 election results. Of course, no one on either side pays much attention to the Constitution anymore, & Trump & Republicans already defy many constitutional rulings.
OMG yes it is horrible to think we could be left with V as the head of the government but GEEEEZ! Have you ever lived under a military coup? Hope that never happens here. They just have to grab some balls those GOP congressmen and (sadly) gop women.
If you live in a red state or district, go to town halls.. not they won’t likely hold them . Vote out the right! I live in a blue world, little to none elected Repugs. It’s up to red or purple states to scare the sh$t of the them.
Hopefully we'll be able to maintain our blue state life, but don't count on it. This government will do everything it can to wreck our states & our lives.
The only problem I can see with the GOP initiating an impeachment is the republican majority house , they are all sycophants that would never pull the trigger on it with mouse face Johnson at the helm.
That’s right, but a few Repubs are wavering, and some American oligarchs are wavering, too. They don’t like Trump’s tariffs and are ready to pull the plug on his administration, which will make it easier for cowardly, craven Repubs to do the right thing for our country and the planet.
The problem, Bill, is that he's never had to pay any consequences... which has been proven time & time again, including having been impeached 2x & being declared a convicted felon.
I'm worn out. Been speaking out against Trump ever since Bannon convinced him to run the first time. I love how people here want to march and protest. Time for the second shift to get to work and make a touchdown! Go Substackers! I'll be rooting for you.
That’s exactly what they want. Rest a day or two. Pick 2 things you’re passionate about, I know you’re passionate about everything, but I’m disabled and I know a thing or two about what it means to have worm brain in charge of HHS. Focus on that thing that you have experience with. If you focus on it all, you’ll burn out so fast. Chances are, someone else has more experience than you in those other areas. Find local groups, communities, check in with your friends and family that are like-minded. You’re not alone and your burn out is what they want. You got this.
202 225 3121. Call n give a congressional member n give them hell. Start with Thune. And dickwads, cotton, Mullin, gym Jordan, mikey Johnson, Perry, Cruz, Hawley, Biggs, Gosar, Cramer, suck up Sheehy, Daines, Moreno, Ron Johnson! Good start!
Well, for one thing it means they're taking your name down & adding to The List. People snidlely say "hand me the popcorn," but it's looking more like "hand me your passport" at least until we hand them something that's timed to go off once we've gotten far enough away.
We the People need to demand more from our country! Can we PLEASE put an end to this Trump 2028 nonsense?
We are in a constitutional crisis. So many unconstitutional acts... How many signs of democratic collapse do we need? Impeach and remove Trump from office ASAP!
Other Trump ideas that help no one but him:
Renaming Gulf of Mexico; an expensive military parade in his honor; a new Oval Office MAGA hat painting that says Trump 2028; wanting to own Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal; Trump on Mt. Rushmore.
Enough is enough. America needs to fire Donald Trump and his entire administration and stop this self-destruction.
Trumpers saying “I didn’t know he was going to do exactly what he said he was going to do”, I would laugh but we ALL have to suffer the consequences. I don’t care that you regret your vote. I don’t care that you’re finally waking up to reality. We tried to tell you and you spat in our faces.
Will it be safe to wear this "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For her" t shirt on boardwalk this summer? 👇 🤔
Thankfully you aren't living in the "apartment above the meth lab" like us! The collective insanity south of our border is encroaching on our polite society. Quite a few Canadians voted for PP (aka TIMBIT TRUMP) and his minions 🙄. We seem to have dodged a bullet for now with Carney at the helm but we are well aware of the wolf huffing and puffing and trying to blow our house down! #ElbowsUpCanada PAY ATTENTION because the battle is just beginning.
OMG... that is just too stupid. America... a variation on an Italian's name used to name a "new" land... That's the etymology of "New America". Why not "New Bethlehem" as in Season 6 of The Handmaid's Tale?
Viewed here from France it feel like America is having a collective nervous breakdown all because of one evil swine. Like a festering boil of the body of your country it has to be lanced and drained and then you can begin to heal and become healthy again.
I plan to strut in my resist t shirt. And my I voted for her ball cap. And my nasty woman t shirt - an oldy but goody. And my big old German Shepard faithful friend. They will not intimidate me!
Protests should be happening every weekend........fascism or democracy......that it the choice. Channel all worry into action.......meet people and plan........my goodness America has more guns than the rest of the world combined in order to defend yourselves from the Maga goon squads that Orange will send out.
Since writing letters, holding town halls, phone calls to your representatives, demonstrations, marches, and media is all unresponsive and all law enforcement is biased, except military, and it all has no effect, something bigger than January 6 might be in order except this time, even if both Democrats and Republicans get in on the act, you can bet the media will blame just the Democrats, because the media wants chaos because it’s good for ratings. So yea, it will probably be a civil war. If it’s real, you won’t even see a test pattern on your screen. No sound on your crank radio the electricity will be cut) no gas no cell service. It will be instant Stone Age.
Yes, put your amazing energy towards leading a revolt. There are many who would follow, but don’t have the knowledge or capability to lead. I believe you do! Please lead the way.
I’m engaged as I can be thus far. Protests etc. but now we need to move forward and make a difference. We need those in power to realize we’re not standing around with our thumbs up our asses. We need direction.
Here's the link to an interactive map of protest dates and locations. Cut and paste the URL into your browser. If the map doesn't show up, you can google it and find it that way. Click on the map and expand it to show your location or the closest locations. Show up with or without a sign. Meet some people, note their contact data. There will be others there who will tell you other stuff you can do. Do a lot of yelling. Get in the news if at all possible without hurting any person or property.

I agree with you! All I’m hearing/reading is about how the orange menace is moving his program forward. If it’s WE, the people, then we need structure rather than criticism! There are many veterans that await marching orders but nobody to lead. To save democracy is going to have risks and I don’t see any politicians, minus a handful, that are using the authority WE have entrusted to them. All the podcasts and town halls will have been nothing more than lip service if WE don’t act. trump, his sorry ass supporters and the loyalists around him count on us not following through with action. I could go on but if reality hasn’t set in yet, then what’s to come will surely make us wish WE had stepped up. Time is not on our side!
I’m a very proud USMC veteran and I’ll be damned if I don’t do something to fight this regime and it’s whiny ass orange emperor. To do nothing makes my active duty life nothing more than a waste since my oath was to the Constitution which these bozos are trying to destroy. Semper Fidelis!
from the Veterans...I'd like to see a full on sit in and protest clogging the streets of DC so that his stupid 'military parade' (honoring a draft dodger and felon...hell NO). Do not let the parade happen, block the roads. It will save the $ to repair them at least!!
What really pisses me off is that it’s OUR money he is going to use to glorify himself. A draft dodger, a rapist, con man, liar, traitor,misogynist and also one who denigrates actual patriots doesn’t deserve the recognition and admiration of anyone. Sure, his supporters may have a love affair with him but the majority of US do not! To hell with him and any semblance of a parade at our expense and to hell with anyone that believes he’s what the country needs! His supporters will find out in short order that he doesn’t give a damn about them or the situation they’re in.
Exactly! I see what’s happening! I saw believed what he said! But what can I do? I don’t have a lot of money, I don’t have influence, I don’t have power. What can I do? I keep informed. I vote. I write and call my (worthless) Senators and Representatives. I protest. I vote local. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
What we need...IS MORE HELP. We have to reach those doing...NOTHING, and show them the way! Because as much as you're doing, and we're all doing, unfortunately, it's not enough. Go one more step. Recruit others. Get them to do the same. We can do all the ads, and calls, and protests we want, but if we're not getting enough people out there fighting, it's over. It's sad and beyond words upsetting, but it is reality. This is a crisis of unbearable proportions. You'll have to understand why the urgency. Don't take it personally, we HAVE to get more help, or it's over.
agreed. My 3 grown kids have no interest in protesting or doing anything. They all voted for Kamala and support Dem issues, but I must have failed as a mom bc they 'just want to live their lives'.....aaarrgh!! They will have crap lives if they don't wake up...and when I try I get shut down.
Watch Lev Parnas EVERY DAY. He is giving us names of the Republican officials that are teetering about doing the right thing. WE CAN FLIP THEM. Build the pressure. Let them know you will stand with them in this fight, and that they are not alone!
And the Congress and media is normalizing it like it’s no big deal. The Supreme Court gave him immunity and he will do whatever is possible to maintain power.
A famous line from Stephen King's The Stand: "The righteous die and evil rides around in Cadillac cars." Yep. These people thrive on bad diets, anger, and hatred. Don't ask me why when the rest of us get ulcers and heart attacks. RFKJr. should study it and let us know how to prevent people like Trump..
Where people are getting their news from makes the biggest difference imho as to how seriously they are concerned about what Trump’s regime is doing. The truth matters and many are still not aware of what’s true. The facts need to get out to more and more people one shared newsletter at a time, one town hall at a time, sharing truth with neighbours etc. Keep calling out all these fascists for their lies. Of course when people are affected financially then they will likely wake up!
I agree, but where are these wealthy democratic-backed media companies.?? If they existed, the populace would not be so brain-washed. Corporate interests have corrupted everything. Capitalism is basically screwing democracy.
Since reoccupying the White House Donald Trump had unleashed a torrent of dictates in the form of Executive Orders. By and large these XO’s have been determined by the Judicial Branch to be unlawful, illegal and un-Constitutional.
We should have been prepared for this.
Although Donald Trump claimed no knowledge of Project 2025 while campaigning, his plethora of XO’s are predominantly from the missive of the 900 page plus Project 2025 manifesto.
Today, Congressional Republicans sit around with their thumbs up their butts refusing to perform their Constitutional duty in holding the Executive Branch, Trump, accountable for its highly corrupt and illegal activities. Instead, these same Republicans remove their feces encrusted thumbs from their butts and thumb their noses at We, The People.
If you are as disgusted with the illegality of this Administration as I am, make your voice heard. There are a number of protests occurring frequently. Protest sponsors include the Women’s March, 50501, Hands Off, and many others. A quick web search will enable you to find a protest near you.
And, oh, contrary to the Republican’s claims, these protests are NOT funded by anyone. This is a grassroots campaign. So, you will need to pay for your own fuel, signage, parking…
I’m looking forward to seeing YOU at a protest soon!
I agree with everything you have said, Todd but I would like to add another point. It is WAY past time for DEMOCRAT leadership to get off of their asses and represent us! Where are they? We’ve got a handful of leaders doing their jobs but where are the rest? Are they afraid of Trump? What’s going on here?Let’s stop giving them a free pass. We are watching you. We are evaluating your job performance, too. You might just find yourself replaced by an eager Democrat willing to work for the people.
The Dems are all very well, and may take a lead from AOC and Bernie, but IMHO, THE PEOPLE need to make this happen. (I'm an outsider - in a democratic country - watching on in horror!) MAKE IT SO!
But they need Republicans who are not afraid of Trump .. if they could impeach him they would but the Republicans are glued together by fear or stupidity..
This is a disgrace that one delusional man can have so much power and have people follow him blindly. I am watching from Australia and fear for the ordinary citizens of America. Stay alert. Stay safe
Like @MAW, I am in Oz, watching. It's NOT one delusional man - it's a whole, evil cabal of nasty, selfish people, and the US is at a revolutionary turning point.
There's a whole dark network behind him. Trump is just the puppet. Dark maga, tech bros, heritage foundation, Christian nationalists, republicans. They all came together and organised over a decade ago to implement their evil plans.
This is why they're 100 steps ahead of everyone else. So we're all too stunned and too overwhelmed to fight back.
Not to mention Pootie and his hackers. Aren’t there any liberal hackers?? They could jam Fox and the other fascist media!! They could make Steven Miller go crazy. They could hack and drain the billionaires’ accounts. Go for it, y’all!👹
I knew this was happening. I do not need to be reprimanded. I have been going to rallies. I have been writing postcards. I have been emailing and calling Congresspeople and Senators. We just need a clear cut leader who can help the American people fight all of this. My son says this will be a bloody summer. I am ready to do what I can. I was born in Canada but have American citizenship. I married a veteran who loved his country but he passed. I am willing to do what it takes to get rid of the vermin in the white house. I have children and grandchildren and everyone else in this country who believes in the Constitution and democracy that I will do whatever I can until my last breath. That is the honorable thing to do.
202 225 3121. Give congressional po💩name n they will put through. Start with Thune, Daines, Barrasso, Ron Johnson, scheey, comer, gym Jordan, Perry, Cruz, Hawley, cotton, Mullin, Moreno give em 💩WTH ! Why are they doing nothing. Finally bacon spoke up!
We know this! We’re protesting, boycotting, calling reps—what do you want us to do? We are terrified! We are not delusional! We certainly do not need a scolding from you!
So true! The problem is these great Substack voices aren't reaching the main stream and free media for the kool-aid drinkers to hear. It's too geared to us who already know, so I guess protesting is what we have to keep on doing.
but the substacks, and all the other social media are THERE, and they are part of the foundation. You need these basic enablers to get the bigger things to happen.
The US mainstream media is fairly compliant - so bring further pressure there.
The mainstream media is now being pressured and that is a major problem. I just know we need to be louder somehow. I post a lot on my social media to hopefully reach, educate some left over right friends but I don't think they bother to read anything I post. I had one friend say "I never knew you were such a leftist radical" she's known me for 40+ years! I believe she's brain washed by the right to risk a friendship over politics. That's why I say we must be more out there.
Don’t ever think there is nothing more to do. Time for us all to be heroes—keep going fighting, and bring others into the fight and educate them ourselves if we have to. We, those who are out there on the front lines have to be the examples. Show others what to do. WE CAN defeat Trump, but it’s going to take everyone and all we have, or it’s over. As someone who’s been a campaigner for so many years, it’s frustrating to watch others do nothing. But we’re doers. It’s what we do, and we don’t just give up our world to Donald Trump.
@pegsreiledup I understand. But give details how. We attend the protests, put signs on the lawn to Resist, support news here, do the 5 calls, boycott the Maga stores, make resist videos, tell others, but how do we win? What else can we do that will actually stop him and the regime? I'm asking with no snarkiness or sarcasm, I want to know what else can be done to get this nightmare to end?
What we all need…IS MORE HELP. Recruiting others is the only way through this. Talk to your friends, your neighbors, your family, if they’ll listen. See if they’ll be okay with sending them info, like the kind Michael puts out. We have to think of ourselves as the soldiers in this war—it’s awful, but we must find a way to go one more step. I know this may be uncomfortable, but it is the only way. As someone who has done a LOT of volunteering for campaigns of all kinds and levels, I will tell you one thing I’ve learned. I’ve learned that when someone is on the fence, or no fence, it’s never going to be a rally, an ad, a piece of mail or phone call, although they do help. The one thing that I’ve learned gets people off the fence or their asses is…a PERSONAL CONVERSATION. People want and need that to be motivated to anything.
Sure leave the country if you’re wealthy. For the few countries still willing to let non European citizens buy immigrant visas it will cost you at least $800,000 cash just for a visa. Or try $800,000/ year to live in Switzerland. Emigrating from the US for the last few years at least has only been for the rich, as are most things in life to have a manageable,
comfortable existence. And in the US for a large majority of us, the non top 1% things will get much worse unless and until we overthrow this autocratic kleptocracy.
Yes. To understand the crisis we're in and urgency in which it needs to be addressed is to understand the outrage, and the desperation. We don't need coddling right now. Every effort all of us are making, is helping. But unless we all do more, like recruiting others, we're in big trouble. We can't take personal the "scolding" here. It's kinda like how soldiers in war are constantly being "scolded". We are are the soldiers now, and our commanders are "trying" to keep us going. No sugar coating. This is as serious as it gets.
Not to upset you more, I think the point here is that whatever we’re all doing…it’s NOT enough. It’s horribly sad and upsetting. But we are in the fight of our lives, and the clock is ticking. This is reality. Take one more step, if you can. Talk to friends, neighbors, share these substacks with those who otherwise would not see them. It is, going to take all of us. We must keep going, as tired and frustrated as we all are. Know that so many are doing…nothing. If everyone did one thing, it would help. Our job is to find those people. Reach them where they are. We can do this. We have to. Peace.
Thank you! I came here to say this. We March, we boycott, we donate, we make signs, we rage in the streets, we lose sleep, we feel ill. And that's everyday. I'm getting a little tired of other countries say Americans aren't doing anything. WTF. Then substacks say "You don't get it! Wake up! You aren't listening! " We have a Congress. Telling my R maga senators we don't want fascism and Doge aren't doing anything. They're AWOL.
I’m with you! Have gone to the protests, contributing donations, etc. but what else can we do except to wait for the midterms? Btw, corporate media doesn’t even cover the protests and the media that does cover them is not getting seen by the Trump followers. We need more national recognition!
I totally agree. I feel that this article is being directed at the wrong audience. I have kept informed. I have taken everything seriously. I have never laughed about what this regime has said. I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP! I have written to my congress people. I have written to major networks. I have donated to the cause. I have subscribed to independent media. I have protested. But nothing has stopped this. I really would like something more constructive.
His polls have to tank. There have to be large protests. We must go after the people in the House and Senate making this possible. If it takes the more liberal left to fix it I'm OK with that now (I'm an Independent & a vehement anti-Trumper). And we have to clean out SCOTUS. The court can never be allowed to rest for the literal insanity it has knowingly engineered to protect Trump. Alito and Thomas have no right to still be there after their partisanship and likely corruption came to light.
This isn't just about Trump, it's about everyone he surrounded himself with. MAGA has to become irrelevant now. History will already see them as infamous but that is not enough. The time to be quiet should have ended in 2020. Now it's time to yell.
Yes we (I) am aware. At 80 years old on Medicare and SSI- I am terrified and I knew it the minute he told his voters that if they voted for him they would never need to vote again. I don’t have money to keep supporting all who as for help. What the devil can we do???
Im in the same situation as you. Didn't expect retirement to end this way. Children and grands to worry about before I can worry about me. YES THAT STATEMENT sent chills down my spine.
I still contend that he's not smart enough or cognitive enough to propose and carry out these things. Even though we keep attributing everything to Felon47, it's the Heritage Foundation and Stephen Miller behind the curtain who is implementing all of this. He is a weasel who could never be elected on his own, so he got his own "Charlie McCarthy" puppet that he can manipulate, direct and then be put back into his box (loaded with Adderall and other specific drug mix) until he needs to perform again.
Exactly, there's a big dark network behind him that's running the show. Trump is just the public facing puppet, as you can tell. All he does is ramble on or play golf.
Dark maga, tech bros, heritage foundation, christian nationalists have all come together and organised the systematic destruction of American democracy for their own future benefit.
He doesn’t have to last. He’s not really running the show. The people who are, they’re using him and once our government and country are destroyed, he will no longer be of any use to him. And they will be ready.
I tried to tell people the first time around that there were people behind him pushing an agenda because they saw that the guy loves being the one on top, and he would be easy to use for their agenda. And now here we are!
Miller, cheung, heritage effers. And that cabinet. WTH! Incompetent, corrupt lieing, theiving, greedy, grifting po💩. Need to be investigated n prosecuted n jailed in prison
His health is obviously horrible. But, he has The Best Doctors & Healthcare available. I think he has a death sentence prognosis except his doctors make available to him absolutely everything he needs to be able to keep going. Otherwise, he’d probably have passed by now. I would not be surprised if he is hooked up to a monitor when he naps or goes to sleep at night…with a trauma team constantly right next to the Residence or on the airplane. What I can’t understand is why none of the newscasters have called them out. You know they see the medical staff often. Lastly, what happened to Presidential physicals???
Again... most of us (progressive, liberals, independents, and non-Trumpers) knew what Trump was/is like. But, he did pull the wool over many U.S. residents. That's the sad part. The other sad part... there were people like Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation who knew and wanted Trump to become our president. They wanted this chaos and the inside revolution. It's true and sad; it's really happening.
Yes we know this. Yes we agree; many fools voted for a dictator! But don’t just keep scolding us. Help us figure out WHAT THE HELL TO DO NOW!!!!
Thank you….
I agree other than protesting and boycotting what can we do? I call every Sunday all of congress. Not that it means anything but I do it. I think we need a country wide strike.
A country wide protest is scheduled for this Thursday, May 1. We need 35 million people in the streets with signs.
AWESOME!!!!!

Beth the Russian spammer has been reported and blocked. Don’t like, don’t respond it’s all fake.
I did not know this! Thank you!!
hey another lbrown! There must be 200 million of us. I had another one on my street who I'm very sad to say was in a militia and making pipe bombs!!! I'm thinking about changing my name to Zbronski or something! lol
And the media to cover it!! Where will those correspondents be?? Send the veteran journalists. Or call foreign media!!
I seriously want to believe what I saw (with tears in my eyes- for Z) at Francis’ funeral but he’s still peddling RRRsssia’s demands! Call all of those geniuses who are saying he will put a 🛑 to Putisimisimo.
We need more energy out there! Geez people, someone said the other day that Americans don’t have experience with authoritarian regimes so there is no urgency to protest because people think it’ll pass! NO it won’t! He’ll be more emboldened because Congress and the SCOTUS have been bought. Why aren’t all DEMs united to protest ! Are they afraid they’ll endorse someone over the other one?! This is about our future but also about our present.
We billboards through America. I know it's probably impossible but We need other Countries to help us out, I don't have the slightest idea How. HIT'em in their pockets. Those Republicans need to start thinking about the American people rather their own interests and their jobs.
If you listen to the folks who know the history of overcoming autocracies, it takes at least massive - multimillion people protests in one place to start being more effective in resistance. Walk outs from workplaces the same day.
But where are the former military leaders who were fired, resigned or retired to help lead the resistance?
Dems and Repubs could impeach (House), convict (Senate), and remove him from office. This could be done immediately, and be over in a few days. A bipartisan coalition government would serve from now to the 2028 election. Do it now! Do it to protect the Constitution.
The problem with this is Vance. He’s really the guy the Heritage Society, America First and the authors of Project 2025 want. The only reason they haven’t “eliminated “ Trump is he is the epicenter of the brainwashed 42% cult. Honestly, I’d take my chances with a military coup before Vance.
EXACTLY!! He’s far more dangerous than Trump!
Agree. And yes, Vance is particularly involved in P2025, bought n paid for by Thiel and other high tech billionaires, specifically to replace Trump. So that has likely been the plan all along.
and if Vance is impeached, we get Johnson...which is worse...maybe.
If Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution expelling government officials who broke their oath of office were enforced, we could get rid of Mike Johnson, MTG & many more congressional parasites. This would also eliminate Trump, Vance & the vast majority of Trump appointments. The remainder could be removed by nullifying the fraudulent 2024 election results. Of course, no one on either side pays much attention to the Constitution anymore, & Trump & Republicans already defy many constitutional rulings.
JOHNSON IS EASILY SLAPPED DOWN LIKE A BAD DOG!! We could work him into what we want!!!!
Exactly! What a conundrum!
Yes... he wasn't with Trump in the Vatican City. That's one reason why Zelensky was "calm"... not being attacked by that insulting asshole.
Zelensky was still accosted by Trump while he was there. Fortunately, Zelensky fended him off.
JD might be easier to impeach because he's such a Moran and will succumb to blatant corruption.
He's so Bugsey.
There is no single "problem". Without Dumpty and his Rubes, there would not be ANY of this.
Yes the couch cougar is a problem!don’t like anything about him. Treats his wife like crap. “Their her kids in church “! 🤬🤬
OMG yes it is horrible to think we could be left with V as the head of the government but GEEEEZ! Have you ever lived under a military coup? Hope that never happens here. They just have to grab some balls those GOP congressmen and (sadly) gop women.
This is why I spend my Sundays calling and texting them!
Help support them.
If you live in a red state or district, go to town halls.. not they won’t likely hold them . Vote out the right! I live in a blue world, little to none elected Repugs. It’s up to red or purple states to scare the sh$t of the them.
Yes! Love blue state life. Could not live in a red state. 202 225 3121 call n give a congressional member name. Give em hell!
They are trying to eff up our postal service!🤬🤬
Hopefully we'll be able to maintain our blue state life, but don't count on it. This government will do everything it can to wreck our states & our lives.
GOTTA TURN OUT AND MAKE ALLOTA NOISE!!!!!!
I always call on week days as I’m afraid no one will notice on a weekend.
Keep it up! It matters.
SPOT ON!!!
SPOT IN!!!

Seriously— anyone believe that Congress…. controlled by his Psychophants
(misspelled on purpose because they are psycho) will do absolutely anything to stop him and his entourage ??!!! Can’t believe that comment.
The Republicans HAVE to get more afraid of the voters —- than their dear leader!!!!
agree. I think it's time to start acting a little more like Jan sixers and a little less like Michelle Obama's when they go low, we go high.
Psycophants! I love it and it's very appropriate
202 225 3121
Call any congressional rethuglikkkrussians and give them hell! Unbelievable, grown, educated, adult men n women kissing trumps ass!
Call! Tell them to leave our post office alone!
AND FIRST WE THE PEOPLE MUST TERRORIZE THE REPUBS!!! Take their jobs and stand in their driveways at home where their families live!!!
PSYCO TERROR, nothing real but mentally intense!!
DO IT!!!!! What are you waiting for???
Yes!👏 👏👏
The only problem I can see with the GOP initiating an impeachment is the republican majority house , they are all sycophants that would never pull the trigger on it with mouse face Johnson at the helm.
That’s right, but a few Repubs are wavering, and some American oligarchs are wavering, too. They don’t like Trump’s tariffs and are ready to pull the plug on his administration, which will make it easier for cowardly, craven Repubs to do the right thing for our country and the planet.

The problem, Bill, is that he's never had to pay any consequences... which has been proven time & time again, including having been impeached 2x & being declared a convicted felon.
That isn't going to happen unless every GOP mrmbet of thr House and Senate develop spines
Yep this. Dem's should be working to get this done by working with R. But R don't want AoC Bernie president so there has to be an alternative offered.
General strike
Yes that is what I meant .thanks
Major action
Corporal punishment
Private interests no more!
I'm worn out. Been speaking out against Trump ever since Bannon convinced him to run the first time. I love how people here want to march and protest. Time for the second shift to get to work and make a touchdown! Go Substackers! I'll be rooting for you.
I get it. I have been in your shoes. But we can’t quit now. No matter how tired.
That’s exactly what they want. Rest a day or two. Pick 2 things you’re passionate about, I know you’re passionate about everything, but I’m disabled and I know a thing or two about what it means to have worm brain in charge of HHS. Focus on that thing that you have experience with. If you focus on it all, you’ll burn out so fast. Chances are, someone else has more experience than you in those other areas. Find local groups, communities, check in with your friends and family that are like-minded. You’re not alone and your burn out is what they want. You got this.
202 225 3121. Call n give a congressional member n give them hell. Start with Thune. And dickwads, cotton, Mullin, gym Jordan, mikey Johnson, Perry, Cruz, Hawley, Biggs, Gosar, Cramer, suck up Sheehy, Daines, Moreno, Ron Johnson! Good start!
And no damn parade on his BD! Hell no!

Thank you for your dedication Jean . 💙👍✌️
Well, for one thing it means they're taking your name down & adding to The List. People snidlely say "hand me the popcorn," but it's looking more like "hand me your passport" at least until we hand them something that's timed to go off once we've gotten far enough away.
We the People need to demand more from our country! Can we PLEASE put an end to this Trump 2028 nonsense?
We are in a constitutional crisis. So many unconstitutional acts... How many signs of democratic collapse do we need? Impeach and remove Trump from office ASAP!
Other Trump ideas that help no one but him:
Renaming Gulf of Mexico; an expensive military parade in his honor; a new Oval Office MAGA hat painting that says Trump 2028; wanting to own Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal; Trump on Mt. Rushmore.
Enough is enough. America needs to fire Donald Trump and his entire administration and stop this self-destruction.
Trumpers saying “I didn’t know he was going to do exactly what he said he was going to do”, I would laugh but we ALL have to suffer the consequences. I don’t care that you regret your vote. I don’t care that you’re finally waking up to reality. We tried to tell you and you spat in our faces.
Will it be safe to wear this "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For her" t shirt on boardwalk this summer? 👇 🤔

Plus Dementia Donny says he’s going to issue an EO renaming New Mexico, New America. I kid you not.
Holy shit! It’s just getting screwier by the minute.
And MTG wants to rename French Fries to American Fries. I kid you not she has posted it online!!
Thankfully you aren't living in the "apartment above the meth lab" like us! The collective insanity south of our border is encroaching on our polite society. Quite a few Canadians voted for PP (aka TIMBIT TRUMP) and his minions 🙄. We seem to have dodged a bullet for now with Carney at the helm but we are well aware of the wolf huffing and puffing and trying to blow our house down! #ElbowsUpCanada PAY ATTENTION because the battle is just beginning.
OMG... that is just too stupid. America... a variation on an Italian's name used to name a "new" land... That's the etymology of "New America". Why not "New Bethlehem" as in Season 6 of The Handmaid's Tale?
you have to be joking? Can you cite a sensible source?
It's perfectly understandable that this rubbish is in the offing, but we should try to cite refs.
Viewed here from France it feel like America is having a collective nervous breakdown all because of one evil swine. Like a festering boil of the body of your country it has to be lanced and drained and then you can begin to heal and become healthy again.
I plan to strut in my resist t shirt. And my I voted for her ball cap. And my nasty woman t shirt - an oldy but goody. And my big old German Shepard faithful friend. They will not intimidate me!
I understand there’s little that can be done, short of civil war.
Protests should be happening every weekend........fascism or democracy......that it the choice. Channel all worry into action.......meet people and plan........my goodness America has more guns than the rest of the world combined in order to defend yourselves from the Maga goon squads that Orange will send out.
Sadly, the least educated and the most dangerous are in possession of those weapons.
Peaceful protests are in order.
That's just ridiculous!!
Is it ridiculous?? Wake up sweetie!
Luz?! With a comment like that you must be a 15 watt bulb!
Since writing letters, holding town halls, phone calls to your representatives, demonstrations, marches, and media is all unresponsive and all law enforcement is biased, except military, and it all has no effect, something bigger than January 6 might be in order except this time, even if both Democrats and Republicans get in on the act, you can bet the media will blame just the Democrats, because the media wants chaos because it’s good for ratings. So yea, it will probably be a civil war. If it’s real, you won’t even see a test pattern on your screen. No sound on your crank radio the electricity will be cut) no gas no cell service. It will be instant Stone Age.
Yes, put your amazing energy towards leading a revolt. There are many who would follow, but don’t have the knowledge or capability to lead. I believe you do! Please lead the way.
Just set a date and stay home! I’m in my 80’, I’ll support demos!
I’m engaged as I can be thus far. Protests etc. but now we need to move forward and make a difference. We need those in power to realize we’re not standing around with our thumbs up our asses. We need direction.
As I said, our power is to withhold our labor… what else do we have..l serous question

Thanks for this.
Anything you can think of to thwart oligaarchs, trump, GOP, Musk!
Use your imagination! Join with other people! Run for office! Volunteer to help those in need of help!
Read the history of Gandhi, MLK and the protestes of the 60's, 70's, 80's. Union formations of the early 1900's.
Get engaged!
Yes please tell us what we can do!!!!
You need at least 3.5% of vote-age adults to get out and protest (Harvard research). Think Anti-Vietnam Moratoriums. Get organised!
A country wide protest this Thursday May 1st.
We need 35 million people out with signs protesting. See Indivisible, hands off, Move On, 50501
Right, weekly drops off
ill be there, but its a weekday, so many people can't ditch work, so I fear the numbers will be less than we want.

50.50.1 May 1st, be there.
I agree with you! All I’m hearing/reading is about how the orange menace is moving his program forward. If it’s WE, the people, then we need structure rather than criticism! There are many veterans that await marching orders but nobody to lead. To save democracy is going to have risks and I don’t see any politicians, minus a handful, that are using the authority WE have entrusted to them. All the podcasts and town halls will have been nothing more than lip service if WE don’t act. trump, his sorry ass supporters and the loyalists around him count on us not following through with action. I could go on but if reality hasn’t set in yet, then what’s to come will surely make us wish WE had stepped up. Time is not on our side!
You are more powerful than you think.
BE the change you want to see in the world.
As a Veteran - YOU are already a LEADER 💜
I’m a very proud USMC veteran and I’ll be damned if I don’t do something to fight this regime and it’s whiny ass orange emperor. To do nothing makes my active duty life nothing more than a waste since my oath was to the Constitution which these bozos are trying to destroy. Semper Fidelis!
from the Veterans...I'd like to see a full on sit in and protest clogging the streets of DC so that his stupid 'military parade' (honoring a draft dodger and felon...hell NO). Do not let the parade happen, block the roads. It will save the $ to repair them at least!!
What really pisses me off is that it’s OUR money he is going to use to glorify himself. A draft dodger, a rapist, con man, liar, traitor,misogynist and also one who denigrates actual patriots doesn’t deserve the recognition and admiration of anyone. Sure, his supporters may have a love affair with him but the majority of US do not! To hell with him and any semblance of a parade at our expense and to hell with anyone that believes he’s what the country needs! His supporters will find out in short order that he doesn’t give a damn about them or the situation they’re in.
Exactly! I see what’s happening! I saw believed what he said! But what can I do? I don’t have a lot of money, I don’t have influence, I don’t have power. What can I do? I keep informed. I vote. I write and call my (worthless) Senators and Representatives. I protest. I vote local. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
Recruit MORE HELP. Talk to your friends, family, neighbors. Trust me, I've done A LOT of this outreach. It works, and it's necessary.
Agreed.. can we really impeach him and fire all the WH🤡
This is almost exactly what I was going to leave as a comment. We all know it but we don't know what to do to stop it.
What we need...IS MORE HELP. We have to reach those doing...NOTHING, and show them the way! Because as much as you're doing, and we're all doing, unfortunately, it's not enough. Go one more step. Recruit others. Get them to do the same. We can do all the ads, and calls, and protests we want, but if we're not getting enough people out there fighting, it's over. It's sad and beyond words upsetting, but it is reality. This is a crisis of unbearable proportions. You'll have to understand why the urgency. Don't take it personally, we HAVE to get more help, or it's over.
agreed. My 3 grown kids have no interest in protesting or doing anything. They all voted for Kamala and support Dem issues, but I must have failed as a mom bc they 'just want to live their lives'.....aaarrgh!! They will have crap lives if they don't wake up...and when I try I get shut down.
Same here…..terrified for them because they don’t have the sense to be terrified for themselves
that's a very wise way to put it. thank you.
All I have to suggest is big strikes, if you won’t stay home , don’t come to me, I’m old
Boycott!! The oligarchs who think they can have their cake and eat it too need to feel it in their wallets.
Yes because we know they could never feel it in their nonexistent hearts!

Watch Lev Parnas EVERY DAY. He is giving us names of the Republican officials that are teetering about doing the right thing. WE CAN FLIP THEM. Build the pressure. Let them know you will stand with them in this fight, and that they are not alone!
And the Congress and media is normalizing it like it’s no big deal. The Supreme Court gave him immunity and he will do whatever is possible to maintain power.
I meditating on his death
Almost 80 and he eats McDonalds like it’s closing. So maybe
A famous line from Stephen King's The Stand: "The righteous die and evil rides around in Cadillac cars." Yep. These people thrive on bad diets, anger, and hatred. Don't ask me why when the rest of us get ulcers and heart attacks. RFKJr. should study it and let us know how to prevent people like Trump..
I'm afraid if his bad diet hasn't affected him by now, it's not going to.
You think it hasn't affected his brain - and disposition?
I was thinking more along the line of "If it hasn't killed him yet...."
Where people are getting their news from makes the biggest difference imho as to how seriously they are concerned about what Trump’s regime is doing. The truth matters and many are still not aware of what’s true. The facts need to get out to more and more people one shared newsletter at a time, one town hall at a time, sharing truth with neighbours etc. Keep calling out all these fascists for their lies. Of course when people are affected financially then they will likely wake up!
What's needed is an effort as large and as well-financed as Fox News and its Wall St. Journal, to say nothing of Sinclair, Disney, NYT and WaPo.
Some newsletters and back fence conversations are nowhere near this scale and can't hope to compete.
I agree, but where are these wealthy democratic-backed media companies.?? If they existed, the populace would not be so brain-washed. Corporate interests have corrupted everything. Capitalism is basically screwing democracy.
I’m just surprised at these supreme court judges will allow that kind of thing to happen and then get our democracy. What the hell are they thinking?
They're all in on the trump regimes plans for the future, which do not include normal people or minorities.
They have no ultimate power .. even if they give orders have you seen them followed? He would have to be arrested … by whom ?
"Mom's free house!" "Untold millions in cash!"
THE FIRST 100 DAYS…
…of TYRANNY!
… and it’s just the beginning!!
Since reoccupying the White House Donald Trump had unleashed a torrent of dictates in the form of Executive Orders. By and large these XO’s have been determined by the Judicial Branch to be unlawful, illegal and un-Constitutional.
We should have been prepared for this.
Although Donald Trump claimed no knowledge of Project 2025 while campaigning, his plethora of XO’s are predominantly from the missive of the 900 page plus Project 2025 manifesto.
Today, Congressional Republicans sit around with their thumbs up their butts refusing to perform their Constitutional duty in holding the Executive Branch, Trump, accountable for its highly corrupt and illegal activities. Instead, these same Republicans remove their feces encrusted thumbs from their butts and thumb their noses at We, The People.
If you are as disgusted with the illegality of this Administration as I am, make your voice heard. There are a number of protests occurring frequently. Protest sponsors include the Women’s March, 50501, Hands Off, and many others. A quick web search will enable you to find a protest near you.
And, oh, contrary to the Republican’s claims, these protests are NOT funded by anyone. This is a grassroots campaign. So, you will need to pay for your own fuel, signage, parking…
I’m looking forward to seeing YOU at a protest soon!
In Constitutional solidarity,
Todd
Thank you!
Yes nation wide strike this Thursday May 1st. See Move On, 50501, Hands Off, Indivisible
I agree with everything you have said, Todd but I would like to add another point. It is WAY past time for DEMOCRAT leadership to get off of their asses and represent us! Where are they? We’ve got a handful of leaders doing their jobs but where are the rest? Are they afraid of Trump? What’s going on here?Let’s stop giving them a free pass. We are watching you. We are evaluating your job performance, too. You might just find yourself replaced by an eager Democrat willing to work for the people.
Today, Hakeem & Booker were on the steps of the Capitol.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ceR90lihX8
The Dems are all very well, and may take a lead from AOC and Bernie, but IMHO, THE PEOPLE need to make this happen. (I'm an outsider - in a democratic country - watching on in horror!) MAKE IT SO!
But they need Republicans who are not afraid of Trump .. if they could impeach him they would but the Republicans are glued together by fear or stupidity..
We need a new crop of Dems and this right quick.
This is a disgrace that one delusional man can have so much power and have people follow him blindly. I am watching from Australia and fear for the ordinary citizens of America. Stay alert. Stay safe
Like @MAW, I am in Oz, watching. It's NOT one delusional man - it's a whole, evil cabal of nasty, selfish people, and the US is at a revolutionary turning point.
There's a whole dark network behind him. Trump is just the puppet. Dark maga, tech bros, heritage foundation, Christian nationalists, republicans. They all came together and organised over a decade ago to implement their evil plans.
This is why they're 100 steps ahead of everyone else. So we're all too stunned and too overwhelmed to fight back.
Not to mention Pootie and his hackers. Aren’t there any liberal hackers?? They could jam Fox and the other fascist media!! They could make Steven Miller go crazy. They could hack and drain the billionaires’ accounts. Go for it, y’all!👹
Where is Anonymous?
I knew this was happening. I do not need to be reprimanded. I have been going to rallies. I have been writing postcards. I have been emailing and calling Congresspeople and Senators. We just need a clear cut leader who can help the American people fight all of this. My son says this will be a bloody summer. I am ready to do what I can. I was born in Canada but have American citizenship. I married a veteran who loved his country but he passed. I am willing to do what it takes to get rid of the vermin in the white house. I have children and grandchildren and everyone else in this country who believes in the Constitution and democracy that I will do whatever I can until my last breath. That is the honorable thing to do.

Thank you!
202 225 3121. Give congressional po💩name n they will put through. Start with Thune, Daines, Barrasso, Ron Johnson, scheey, comer, gym Jordan, Perry, Cruz, Hawley, cotton, Mullin, Moreno give em 💩WTH ! Why are they doing nothing. Finally bacon spoke up!
We know this! We’re protesting, boycotting, calling reps—what do you want us to do? We are terrified! We are not delusional! We certainly do not need a scolding from you!
So true! The problem is these great Substack voices aren't reaching the main stream and free media for the kool-aid drinkers to hear. It's too geared to us who already know, so I guess protesting is what we have to keep on doing.
but the substacks, and all the other social media are THERE, and they are part of the foundation. You need these basic enablers to get the bigger things to happen.
The US mainstream media is fairly compliant - so bring further pressure there.
The mainstream media is now being pressured and that is a major problem. I just know we need to be louder somehow. I post a lot on my social media to hopefully reach, educate some left over right friends but I don't think they bother to read anything I post. I had one friend say "I never knew you were such a leftist radical" she's known me for 40+ years! I believe she's brain washed by the right to risk a friendship over politics. That's why I say we must be more out there.
Short of civil war I agree. What else exactly can we do? Yes terrified. Do we leave the country before it's illegal to leave?
Don’t ever think there is nothing more to do. Time for us all to be heroes—keep going fighting, and bring others into the fight and educate them ourselves if we have to. We, those who are out there on the front lines have to be the examples. Show others what to do. WE CAN defeat Trump, but it’s going to take everyone and all we have, or it’s over. As someone who’s been a campaigner for so many years, it’s frustrating to watch others do nothing. But we’re doers. It’s what we do, and we don’t just give up our world to Donald Trump.
@pegsreiledup I understand. But give details how. We attend the protests, put signs on the lawn to Resist, support news here, do the 5 calls, boycott the Maga stores, make resist videos, tell others, but how do we win? What else can we do that will actually stop him and the regime? I'm asking with no snarkiness or sarcasm, I want to know what else can be done to get this nightmare to end?
Call your congressional members. 202 225 3121 give a name n give them hell!
What we all need…IS MORE HELP. Recruiting others is the only way through this. Talk to your friends, your neighbors, your family, if they’ll listen. See if they’ll be okay with sending them info, like the kind Michael puts out. We have to think of ourselves as the soldiers in this war—it’s awful, but we must find a way to go one more step. I know this may be uncomfortable, but it is the only way. As someone who has done a LOT of volunteering for campaigns of all kinds and levels, I will tell you one thing I’ve learned. I’ve learned that when someone is on the fence, or no fence, it’s never going to be a rally, an ad, a piece of mail or phone call, although they do help. The one thing that I’ve learned gets people off the fence or their asses is…a PERSONAL CONVERSATION. People want and need that to be motivated to anything.
Sure leave the country if you’re wealthy. For the few countries still willing to let non European citizens buy immigrant visas it will cost you at least $800,000 cash just for a visa. Or try $800,000/ year to live in Switzerland. Emigrating from the US for the last few years at least has only been for the rich, as are most things in life to have a manageable,
comfortable existence. And in the US for a large majority of us, the non top 1% things will get much worse unless and until we overthrow this autocratic kleptocracy.
Yeah I hear you. Wealthy. Lol. I'm poverty level although I worked 37 years in IT with decent salary. All gone. Revolution needed.
Nation wide strike this Thursday May 1st. See Indivisible, Hands Off, move on, 50501
@KB, I suggest it's not "scolding". Everyone is on edge, and some folks come across a little differently from others.
Stay the course - do everything you think is reasonable. It's worth it.
Yes. To understand the crisis we're in and urgency in which it needs to be addressed is to understand the outrage, and the desperation. We don't need coddling right now. Every effort all of us are making, is helping. But unless we all do more, like recruiting others, we're in big trouble. We can't take personal the "scolding" here. It's kinda like how soldiers in war are constantly being "scolded". We are are the soldiers now, and our commanders are "trying" to keep us going. No sugar coating. This is as serious as it gets.
Not to upset you more, I think the point here is that whatever we’re all doing…it’s NOT enough. It’s horribly sad and upsetting. But we are in the fight of our lives, and the clock is ticking. This is reality. Take one more step, if you can. Talk to friends, neighbors, share these substacks with those who otherwise would not see them. It is, going to take all of us. We must keep going, as tired and frustrated as we all are. Know that so many are doing…nothing. If everyone did one thing, it would help. Our job is to find those people. Reach them where they are. We can do this. We have to. Peace.
Thank you! I get tired of being told that we need to do something. WE ARE SCARED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Thank you! I came here to say this. We March, we boycott, we donate, we make signs, we rage in the streets, we lose sleep, we feel ill. And that's everyday. I'm getting a little tired of other countries say Americans aren't doing anything. WTF. Then substacks say "You don't get it! Wake up! You aren't listening! " We have a Congress. Telling my R maga senators we don't want fascism and Doge aren't doing anything. They're AWOL.
We cannot count on anything but ourselves! And NOW is the time!
We The People must take back our country!!!
Before it’s too late!!!
Billboards?!
I really like this billboard idea. Something that the DNC could fund?
Yes to billboards. Get nasty!
Why not? Maybe with ideas from The Lincoln Project. I cannot think of any other way to get mass exposure!
I’m with you! Have gone to the protests, contributing donations, etc. but what else can we do except to wait for the midterms? Btw, corporate media doesn’t even cover the protests and the media that does cover them is not getting seen by the Trump followers. We need more national recognition!
With the way things are headed, there won't be any midterms. Don't rely on being able to vote in the future. The regime must be stopped now.

I totally agree. I feel that this article is being directed at the wrong audience. I have kept informed. I have taken everything seriously. I have never laughed about what this regime has said. I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP! I have written to my congress people. I have written to major networks. I have donated to the cause. I have subscribed to independent media. I have protested. But nothing has stopped this. I really would like something more constructive.

His polls have to tank. There have to be large protests. We must go after the people in the House and Senate making this possible. If it takes the more liberal left to fix it I'm OK with that now (I'm an Independent & a vehement anti-Trumper). And we have to clean out SCOTUS. The court can never be allowed to rest for the literal insanity it has knowingly engineered to protect Trump. Alito and Thomas have no right to still be there after their partisanship and likely corruption came to light.
This isn't just about Trump, it's about everyone he surrounded himself with. MAGA has to become irrelevant now. History will already see them as infamous but that is not enough. The time to be quiet should have ended in 2020. Now it's time to yell.
Amen! There's a big dark evil network behind him, trump is just the puppet.
Dark maga, tech bros, heritage foundation, christian nationalists have all formed and organised together for the downfall of democracy.
I understand and believe everything you have said. Now the question is how do we stop him? I’m scared for myself, my children and grandchildren.

The only ones who aren’t listening are the stupid corrupt Supreme Court and our Republican Party. If it wasn’t for them, Trump would be gone!!!
They're all in on it. There's a big dark network behind him, working to end American democracy.

Yes we (I) am aware. At 80 years old on Medicare and SSI- I am terrified and I knew it the minute he told his voters that if they voted for him they would never need to vote again. I don’t have money to keep supporting all who as for help. What the devil can we do???
Im in the same situation as you. Didn't expect retirement to end this way. Children and grands to worry about before I can worry about me. YES THAT STATEMENT sent chills down my spine.

I still contend that he's not smart enough or cognitive enough to propose and carry out these things. Even though we keep attributing everything to Felon47, it's the Heritage Foundation and Stephen Miller behind the curtain who is implementing all of this. He is a weasel who could never be elected on his own, so he got his own "Charlie McCarthy" puppet that he can manipulate, direct and then be put back into his box (loaded with Adderall and other specific drug mix) until he needs to perform again.
Exactly, there's a big dark network behind him that's running the show. Trump is just the public facing puppet, as you can tell. All he does is ramble on or play golf.
Dark maga, tech bros, heritage foundation, christian nationalists have all come together and organised the systematic destruction of American democracy for their own future benefit.
Here's a question is he going to last long because he's old and his shit diet of McDonald's is going to kill him
He doesn’t have to last. He’s not really running the show. The people who are, they’re using him and once our government and country are destroyed, he will no longer be of any use to him. And they will be ready.
I tried to tell people the first time around that there were people behind him pushing an agenda because they saw that the guy loves being the one on top, and he would be easy to use for their agenda. And now here we are!
The convenient clown is not the problem. The 'Dark Enlightenment' is the underlying plot. Read Project 2025...
Miller, cheung, heritage effers. And that cabinet. WTH! Incompetent, corrupt lieing, theiving, greedy, grifting po💩. Need to be investigated n prosecuted n jailed in prison
This is exactly correct. There's a large, dark, evil network behind him and their plans for us are horrific.
You'll only be safe if you're a strong, fit and healthy male, to be used as their slaves.
This is NOT conspiracy theories, this is happening now, behind the scenes. I'm not crazy - they are!!
He will be 100% insane before he drops dead which will probably be when he is 110
His health is obviously horrible. But, he has The Best Doctors & Healthcare available. I think he has a death sentence prognosis except his doctors make available to him absolutely everything he needs to be able to keep going. Otherwise, he’d probably have passed by now. I would not be surprised if he is hooked up to a monitor when he naps or goes to sleep at night…with a trauma team constantly right next to the Residence or on the airplane. What I can’t understand is why none of the newscasters have called them out. You know they see the medical staff often. Lastly, what happened to Presidential physicals???
The corporate news and news casters are owned by the tech bros who are part of trumps regime.
If you call him out, you'll be outcasted as we've seen.
Free speech is dead. This is why independant media - MTN - is so important.
He had one! They lied n said he was a picture of health! I say bull💩
He just had one. He says he's in great shape. You can't believe anything he says.
I don't think he is really human
He's not, he's a psychopath
Not soon enough. Vance is at least as bad though.
I wonder! Not sure I care!
Again... most of us (progressive, liberals, independents, and non-Trumpers) knew what Trump was/is like. But, he did pull the wool over many U.S. residents. That's the sad part. The other sad part... there were people like Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation who knew and wanted Trump to become our president. They wanted this chaos and the inside revolution. It's true and sad; it's really happening.
