READ Craig Unger's book(s) available from your public library:
American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power, and Treachery Hardcover – January 26, 2021
by Craig Unger (Author)
This is a story about the dirty secrets of the most powerful people in the world—including Donald Trump.
Based on exclusive interviews with intelligence officers in the CIA, FBI, and the KGB, thousands of pages of FBI investigations, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. American Kompromat shows that from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat was used in operations far more sinister than the public could ever imagine.
The book addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset?
The answer, American Kompromat says, is yes, supporting that conclusion with the first richly detailed narrative on how the KGB allegedly first “spotted” Trump as a potential asset, how it cultivated him, arranged his first trip to Moscow, and pumped him full of KGB talking points.
Among its many revelations, American Kompromat reports for the first time that:
• According to former KGB major Yuri Shvets, Trump first did business over forty years ago with a Manhattan electronics store co-owned by a Soviet émigré, triggering protocols through which the Soviet spy agency began efforts to cultivate Trump as an asset, launching a decades-long “relationship” of mutual benefit to Russia and Trump, from real estate to real power.
• Trump’s 1987 invitation to Moscow was billed as a scouting trip for a hotel, but according to Shvets, was actually initiated by a high-level KGB official. These sorts of trips were usually arranged for "deep development."
• Before Trump’s first Moscow trip, he met with Natalia Dubinin, who worked at the United Nations library in a vital position usually reserved as a cover for KGB operatives.
• In 1987, according to Shvets, the KGB circulated an internal cable hailing the successful execution of an active measure by a newly cultivated American asset who took out full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe promoting policies promoted by the KGB. The ads had been taken out by Donald Trump, who, Shvets said, would become a “special unofficial contact” for the KGB.
In addition to exploring Trump’s ties to the KGB, American Kompromat also reveals:
• How Jeffrey Epstein and Trump jostled for influence and financial supremacy for years. Epstein became a millionaire in part with the help of Ghislaine Maxwell’s father—media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who allegedly served as a spy and likely gave Epstein a sum between $10 and $20 million before his death in 1991.
• How the Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking operation provided a source and marketplace for sexual kompromat.
• How the Epstein-Maxwell ring helped enable young women with possible ties to Russian intelligence to gain access to the highest levels of Silicon Valley and the worlds of artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and the internet. This, at a time when Vladimir Putin has asserted, “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere [artificial intelligence] will become the ruler of the world.”
• How John Mark Dougan, a former deputy sheriff in Mar-a-Lago’s Palm Beach County, says he acquired 478 videos confiscated from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, fled to Moscow, became only the fourth American to win asylum in Russia, and immediately gained access to Putin’s inner circle, showing the ongoing power that comes from kompromat and how its value is highest before it is “used.”
Thank you for this. Yes, people need to read. Listen to independent journalists. Discover information that exists instead of waiting for something to be delivered.
The INFORMATION is in BOOKS, not internet SOUND BYTES!
Read JANE MAYER'S book DARK MONEY about how KOCH united the WEALTHY to DESTROY DEMOCRACY. NOTE all of the ANONYMOUS DARK MONEY disinformation sites.
KOCH subsequently STALKED her.
Make sure you read CRAIG UNGER'S book about JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
JPMORGAN CHASE knew what he was doing, just as they knew about BERNIE MADOFF & failed to REPORT as required. JPMORGAN CHASE maintains a gaggle of lawyers to protect their actions.
There will be no accounting about JEFFREY EPSTEIN without JPMORGAN CHASE documents - where did his $$$ come from? WHY? WHO? There was also action taken by the Virgin Islands.
RUSSIA has those VIDEOS...do you smell EXTORTION? BLACKMAIL?
Please don’t yell at me. I know of all you cite here. I’m adding that the current independent journalists are bringing alot to light and it’s not sound bytes.
yep!!
And where was DOJ from 2021-2024 i.e. Merrick Garland on this?? hiding behind the .... what?? Why wasn't Merrick Garland's DOJ doing its job re: this??
MERRICK GARLAND may have been a qualified nominee for a judicial appointment...he SUCKED as an administrator for the DOJ & was clearly unqualified to run the agency.
that time has passed, and we'll not know for sure what happened with MG...until much later...in the mean time, if this comes to surface, I don't want to hear from him..."my life was in danger, BS" he had the power to stop this, and he didn't use it when he should've...he is spineless
I just ordered this book...none of what I'm going to read is going to surprise me, I'm sure. Thank you for the suggested reading...
WE never order from AMAZON - they just post a synopsis. I hope you ordered it from a USED BOOK SELLER.
Craig Unger's books are those that inspire DOG EARING PAGES, UNDERLINING, writing in the margins....lots of information.
Add JANE MAYER's book DARK MONEY to your list!
thank you for that information, I get it...and I'll be looking into Jane Mayer's book Dark Money...
Look at the books CRAIG UNGER has written! The connections of MAXWELL & JEFFREY EPSTEIN was stunning!
Information is not all on the internet.
Did you want to know where EPSTEIN's tapes were?
How John Mark Dougan, a former deputy sheriff in Mar-a-Lago’s Palm Beach County, says he acquired 478 videos confiscated from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, fled to Moscow, became only the fourth American to win asylum in Russia, and immediately gained access to Putin’s inner circle, showing the ongoing power that comes from kompromat and how its value is highest before it is “used.”
Robert Maxwell stole the pension fund from thousands of British employees who worked for him. He ‘fell off’ his yacht The Lady Ghislaine no one was sure if it was an accident or if he ended his own existence. There could be another option. Was he pushed?
Many Russian people with connections seem to fall out of high buildings (usually a hospital) with unusual regularity.
Could Maxwell have been pushed?
MAXWELL threatened the wrong people.
Russians do tend to fall out of high building or ingest POISON, but a Russian set to testify the following day was determined to have committed SUICIDE even though his body was severely bruised/or accident....apparently they couldn't toss him out of a window.
Death Of Former Putin Aide In D.C. Now Ruled To Be An Accident

Thanks for the book info. I have one on hold now at the library!!! Word is getting out.
Some of these books deserve to be purchased USED. As you'll see when you start to READ, they're the kind of books you want to DOG EAR, underline & make comments in the margins.
Don't buy from AMAZON!
Look around for USED BOOK sellers.
wow...I'm excited to listen to this book...thank you
Somewhere in the archives. He is looking for them. Why else would he be obsessed with the Deep State? CIA FBI. He wants to destroy them completely. No evidence.
the proof is in the book, not speculation
TRUTH is in the WORDS

I didn’t know he was a Czechoslovaks!!!!
That was a surprise. Very close to Russia.
Actually I was watching a documentary, I thought 80s too, I forget which one 😖 but it’s been since the late 70s and he was literally invited by the KGB 😳 I suspect that Putin was KGB then, but haven’t fact checked yet.
He is actively overturning the constitution. Why is it not treason?
It's sedition, not treason, but yes, it should be treated as such.
OTOH, his blatant capitulation to Putin is certainly treason. He's clearly a Russian asset and has been for decades.
Agreed. On his first term he had a meeting with Putin just those two absolutely no one else present.
My theory is trump knows that CIA FBI have files on Trump and his association with Russia. Trump is obsessed with The Deep State. He is gutting the files. He’s trying to destroy evidence god only knows what? Why would you want all those boxes 📦 in your bathroom?
I’m a quite sure an 80 year old lazy golf lover wouldn’t be doing this because he cares deeply about the country. It’s either self preservation, Money such as developing Gaza or blackmail.
or 5.). all of the above.
He is looking for the information that the Deep State has on him. That’s why he is tearing things down.
appears to be an act of desperation and a LOT of deflection...there's no way he's going to be able to dispose of all the information about him...it will be found...in the meantime, appears the wheels of propaganda will keep turning...just to keep the stupid ones in check and "his" GOP on a tight leash
Go away, SPAMMER.
REPORT HER & she'll be banned!
I keep reporting them and blocking them for months but Substack keeps shoving them back on us.
That is because the name keeps changing. I don't think it is a "her" I think it is an "It". It's likely done by computer, just as it is done when one receives phone calls from spammers.
I wonder if it could be blocked by the sentence that the spammer keeps sending, rather than the fake name(s)...
I reported and blocked.
They need to grow a backbone and issue a contempt order! This will just keep bouncing back & forth like every other court case against trump!
4547 has made Congress totally irrelevant. When they realize they have given away all their power to the Executive Branch it will be too late. Typical. Republicans never think their actions will have consequences until it's too late.
Resist! ✊🏼
I just laugh when I see legal wrath. Like when they say he is collapsing. We all know there is no such thing as legal wrath for him.
Or the joke about Musk "under oath". Who in their right mind would believe anything Muskrat says? tRump took an oath, too, and what good did that do us?
He didn’t dare put his hand on the Bible. He is superstitious. and probably thought he could be struck down with a lightning ⚡️ bolt.
Seriously wouldn’t surprise me at all.
It's not the pain that's the point, it's the pleasure.
And the power over people, to destroy all those lives.
Curious how Trump constantly disparaged the military and soldiers one of his first acts was to remove any support for anyone injured. He wants to make people suffer. He has targeted the military. He is a vile traitor.
When do Trump's actions supporting our enemies, like Putin, cross over and become treason?
We’re long past that point, guaranteed by his role in January 6th events.
They already have. The Pukes just won't stand up to him. They kiss his butt. Putin is laughing at The Dictator Criminal Orange Buffoon Psycho--The Orange Buffoon is a puppet on Putin's puppeteer strings.
It’s long overdue for this family to be held accountable c
Trump is facing all these legal issues but he is NOT FOLLOWING ANYTHING the judge(s) have instructed him to do. He has and is violating every order. Why? Because all courts have failed to hold him accountable. They have all allowed him to what he wants to do.
Exactly. We are WAAAY beyond lawyers. They will need guns, not lawyers.
However we do it, we need to instill FEAR in them, because that's the way they operate. Find out what they fear most and exploit it. The Tramp's greatest fear is that people will stop fearing or paying attention to him. That's what this is all about. Don't know what fears the muskrat has other than losing power because his money has been devalued to the point of worthlessness. What would he have left then? Dad's emerald mine? Let's devalue them as well.
Needs vasectomy we don't need anymore nose picking muscrats
Funniest solution!
They both should be NEUTERED!
Stock market collapse is the only thing that will hurt them at all
Bust out a couple more Luigi Mangiones, and watch the slimy rats go to ground.
Elno and his (literal) boys sacking thousands, including vets, robbing them of their livelihood - goddam right we're moving toward "2nd-Amendment solutions" territory.
Hoping they lock that MF up!
BTW
The Doge was the head of state in the Republic of Venice from the 8th century to the 18th century (697–1797). The Doge served as the leader of an oligarchic government, where power was concentrated in the hands of the Venetian nobility. While the position was originally more democratic, over time, the Doge became increasingly controlled by the aristocratic Great Council and other governing bodies, ensuring that real power remained with the oligarchs.
Elon is mocking US.
We in Germany recognized that and I'm sure the name is no coincidence
No, no coincidence there at all. I’ve mentioned this fact many times and no one here has even heard of this fact. Doge is a noun.
I have also heard that "egod" has been used by the Silicon Valley Types to make a mockery of those who believe in God, i.e. they are the current gods because they hold the power of the computer. The theory is that Musk (anagram Skum) just turned the word around. The Doge History in Venice is also true.
I didn't know that. Thanks.
About time he Supreme Court stood up for Americans!
don't count on it. Five out of the nine just adore and love the dump.
Contact your democratic legislators and tell them we the people suggest that you boycott trumps State of the Union Address.
I would love to do that except my House rep and both of my Senators are RepSCUMlicans (incorrect spelling deliberate).
I am in the same boat here in Ohio.
Contact your Republican legislators and tell them that the 119th Congress and this administration will go down in history as the darkest time in American history. Their names will be etched in the annals of history for not stopping djt.
GET INVOLVED with WATCH DOG COALITION & blast REPUBLICANS!
Figure out when they're up for RE-ELECTION! Keep track of their comments & their VOTES. Share with others! MAGA GOP are proposing a $4.7 TRILLION TAX CUTS for the WEALTHY at OUR expense - slashing MEDICAID, MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY!
You can do a search on BALLOTPEDIA for their VOTES!
Massachusetts is BLESSED with a DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION who are speaking out. Senator Elizabeth Warren created CFPB & SENATOR MARKEY has been supportive of the GREEN NEW DEAL & renewable energy.
As you surely know, Congressman Jim McGovern has been an outspoken critic.
There are others who need support like JASMINE CROCKETT & MAXWELL FROST! (Don't forget to send the HEROES $5 every once in a while.
There are SPECIAL ELECTIONS coming up - support DEMOCRATS please!
Others are not so fortunate!
Take a few minutes & research what your elected officials have proposed & supported.
TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS!
I Renamed it to Southern Bay of Obama Because it would make messiahs head explode
Love it! Can you imagine if Biden actually did that?
Why is DJT still walking around? He has practically broken most of the laws the average citizen can break and has not spent one day behind bars. He is a menace. Doesn't matter who he is, he is a criminal! A gross criminal. A bloated, incoherent, toxic spewing blabber mouth fool.
Unfortunately, he’s not a fool. I think people need to stop calling him things like crazy or fool implying that he’s inept or out of his mind. He knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s quite brilliant at it. He has duped more than half of the country. I’ve said it before that there is no justice in America until he is behind bars. The laws do not stop him. He is above them. The courts cannot stop him because he can ignore them and stall the courts indefinitely. The people can’t stop him because he has fooled them into supporting him. Congress can’t stop him because Republicans want to ride his coattails of power. The only thing that can slow him down is actual leverage. Congress and the courts are no longer a check on him. He has the support of the people for the next four years. He is for all intense and purposes king. What actual leverage does anyone have over him? He only respects true power and leverage because is primary motivation is to attain power and win. And to be seen and honored as a winner. He hates losers. Losers are suckers. He likes winners.
If the Supreme Court would get their sxit together and wake to see what is happening and grow some balls they could possibly turn things around . I said possibly. Maybe start calling out the Supreme Court, start calling, writing letters. I don't know. Somedays it seems like our hands are somewhat tied. Hate to see our country in shambles and feeling so helpless.
Have been saying that around this time last year when the so-called "scotus" violated the Constitutionally-founded Supreme Court of Colorado and other States Ruling of the unacceptability that the insurrection-abettor is on the presidential race ballot!! And last summer when the so-called "scotus" violated the Constitution ruling about so-called "presidential immunity".
You sound so glib and proud to be a maga. I’m disappointed that you are not more pro-American. You do not belong in this country. DJT may be clever, but so was Jim Jones and Jack the Ripper and other violent criminals. Maybe you admire those as leaders, I don’t. I prefer decent human beings. I don’t know who you really are, and I don’t care to. I will never excuse evil. EVER!
Courts take too long. The damage will be irreparable as the legal system allows kicking the can down the road, potentially for years!
As citizens we can get out and protest join in the boycotts but beyond that, it is a very helpless feeling watching our democracy fall to be replaced by authoritarian oligarchs and christian fascists. It seems our congressional reps are yet again going to be a day late and a dollar short. The legal community seems to be the only group trying to hold the line. Can't the congress our representatives do more?
Throw all these RETRUMPLICON TRAITORS out. Send Elon back to Africa
Stop this fucking bait and switch bullshit when you send emails with half an article, and say if you subscribe, you get to see all of it... That is bullshit, How would you like it when a ad comes on TV. ...you can not contimue watching the program until you buy a case of Raisan Bran and deodorant??? It is the same thing. People have enough fucking expense. They sure as shit do not need to pay to hear the opnion of some druid, who thinks he is Hemingway. I can get the same inforrmation free..rom my bartender and butcher... You still do not get it.. You need to open the forum to all people... It is stupid to limit yourself to ones who already agree with you. Fucking duh
Got it. Block the sender and spend more time at the bar.
Ha Ha
LOL! Bats in the belfry.
I agree it's annoying for those of us who can barely stretch our funds to the end of the month but giving my choice of food/meds or paying bills, as much as I like Meidas Touch and some Substack authors, I simply can't afford them.
This sounds like the people who were complaining about the high cost of gas and then drove away in their gas guzzling ford truck or suburban. You pick and choose were you use limited resources. How many streaming accounts to you pay for?
Exactly.... that is why Democrats lost.. Go out there, get your dikc wet and your hands dirty... What we used to think of as basic items are now luxuries...6 bucks two paper towels,,,, one dollar and fifty cents green pepper. I am not waiing for my inheritance... the tables have turned and now it is the Republicans who are not seen as the Rockefellers ,but the common man. There are 600 very dependable, reputable news sites that offer free reading and comments. Cut the bullshit about maligning legacy news... Lagacy news, whatever the fuck that is,,,was good enough for 65 years... Now...it is big bad corporate ologarchy bad news bears. I say "bullshit" To those who cast asperisions on the main street news,you are becoming no better than Herr Von Trump, and his fake news madness. Having nothing but a hoodie, a zoom, a computer, and an Apple microphone does not mean you have cornered the truth market.
Really, with everything going on and this is what you rail against? NYT, WSJ, they do it too. It's called a pay wall.
You are an idiot... The two that you mention are not what I am talking about.... They require a subscription,,,, and in a totally different category. You are comparing apples and oranges. NYT and WSJ have a hell of a lot more going for them, and are not a community vanilla blog bulletin board hosted by an ambulance chaser with a hoodie, a zoom, and a computer. Give me a fucking break.. MeidasTouch and 99% of what you find on Substack etc are every day gurus with a donut and a half ass opinion, and want to be paid for it.. This is hardly Pulitzer Prize shit...or will you also malign that as corporate oligarchy demons? Fuck off and have a great day.
MTM doing a Great job dispatching the Truth to counter the LIAR, Convict, TRAITOR trump and his Traitor appointees! EXPOSE/RESIST/REMOVE Corrupt MAGA!
No enemy of the US could have done this much damage to the Republic and your democracy by force of arms
Your MAGA " patriots" did
indeed!!
What can the courts use to enforce rulings? If Trump (or Musk) ignore court rulings, what can be done. Our Founding Fathers couldn't even begin to envision someone as demonic as Trump. The assumption is the DOJ Policy regarding sitting President never really addresses what we have now. Impeachment and conviction will not happen. So is a paper tiger left? Waiting will end badly! Demonstrations will not be effective although we're hopeful!!! If you know history, research the interaction of Neville Chamberlain and Hitler prior to WWII! Appeasement and what's happening to Trump amounts to the say!!! He's committing an insurrection in plain sight!!! He will only stop if removed, arrested and all his conspirators area arrested or neutralized!!!
Then someone needs to act on it. We're losing our country! Throw his frickin ass in jail and all his puppets. What's it gonna take?
For all intents and purposes, he is king. And a tyrannical one at that. However, the state governors and attorneys general can offer some hope at this point. Trump‘s biggest leverage over states is the threat to block funding. However, governors, like Bob Ferguson of Washington state, and Attorney General’s like Arizona’s Kris Mayes can and should assert their power and autonomy. We are still a republic and the states hold significant power as a guard rail against Trump’s complete takeover as dictator and king.
The goal, I think, is to destroy our democracy. Trump is their useful idiot and will do whatever as long as he reaps the benefits. Check out Curtis Yarvin who is a tech "philosopher" who says democracy is dead and their needs to be a ruling elite (the tech guys). To be clear, it is not Trump it is Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Larry Ellis, Russell Vought, etc. As Trump spilled the beans in one of his rallies pre election....This will be the last time you have to vote.
yep. I keep saying for a decade - all tRumputinists - no matter how many fractions they're in - have one single task ordered to them by terrorist putin of russia i.e. to destroy a mere existence of America, NATO, Modern West and ultimately the world 'cause they're all indoctrinated by the mythology of so-called "russian orthodox church" and so-called "evangelical prosperity gospel" cults of death.
it is the most insidious form of (suicide and homicide)terrorism 'cause it totally intertwined the domestic terrorism with foreign terrorism and vice versa!!
!!🙏❤️
At this point, I don't know where the blame lies as to what's taking so long for something to be done to prevent a disaster from occurring. The longer America waits the more damage and cruelty is being done to the innocent and jeopardizing lives needlessly. This vicious attempt to control is unjustified.
Dreading all this will be happening, already since the cursed nov. 6th 2024 when Biden Administration, to my utter sudden disappointment and horror rushed to concede, I've been frantically screaming (something every NONtRumputinist and/or better yet ANTItRumputinist American is invited to add to it, subtract from it, improve to it, perfect to it!!) until the monstrous jan 20ieth 2025 this - This is what my logic and life-experience tell me - this monstrously evil unprecedented situation requires the unprecedented measures!! this absolutely warrants the still Current Administration to very wisely use these days to find ways to STOP the transfer of power to the convicted and indicted criminal, felon, quisling, terroristic traitor tRumputin!! It is unprecedented but the evil of tRumputin-eVIlon musk-peter thiel-terrorist putin's of russia corruption of this year's election is unprecedented - so finally - match up to him/them to disable him/them and beat him/them at his/their game, Biden Administration!! The negotiations about the Governing Rearrangement of USA need to start so that NO one opposite party rules the people NOR territories, incl. Washington DC as the most Democratic-voting territory in USA, who/which voted for the other opposite party!! That's the only fair solution to everybody and it should be peaceful. In any case, tRumputinists must be disallowed of their delusion that they can rule the NONtRumputinist and ANTItRumputinist Americans!!
The NONtRumputinist and ANTItRumputinist Americans run a huge risk of being exhausted, smothered, robbed financially, psychologically and physically (even murdered) if tRumputinists are given to grab the power and Democrats do nothing significant against it now! The NONtRumputinist and ANTItRumputinist Americans have only this one and only life that can NOT be and must NOT be endangered at any way any more!!!! Time to act is NOW as any upcoming month/year will only make the situation less solvable.
IOW, I'd suggest the immediate negotiations between Democrats and Republicans (those that, hypothetically and hopefully, can be conversed with) about the Governing Rearrangement of USA based on where, i.e. territorially i.e. states incl. the cities and counties of course, municipalities, townships, territories as to who (Democrats or Republicans) won so that the governing is divided according to the way USA is, factually, divided by those votes. The goal being that is all fair and that NO opposite party can govern/rule the state, city, county, municipality, township, territory where ONE of the two has won!!
The current Pentagon staff needs to take Washington D.C.'s Capitol and all the branches of Federal Government until the solution from the Governing Rearrangement negotiations is reached. I know it's unprecedented but this situation IS totally unprecedented.
buuuut, Biden Administration since nov. 6th 2024 until jan 20ieth 2025 chose to do regarding this worst crisis in the whole history of America and, arguably, humankind - everything contrary to the common sense, it chose to bend over to tRumputin, it chose to throw all of us under the bus, even though the Biden Administration had the powers to prevent this horror. tragical......
Admittedly, there were only 2 good things from nov 6th 2024 to jan 20ieth 2025 that Bidden Administration did do - at long last allowed Ukraine to self-defend itself by striking back into terrorist putin's russia and a second-to-twelve seating of the Federal Judges.
but re: tRumputin's finalization of, on the jan 6th 2021 started, insurrection - nothing. He even invited him to the his White House, raved to the horrified and petrified American Allies about "peaceful transfers of power; free and fair elections...", ordered the horrified and petrified Kamala Harris to ramble about "sacred duty of certification of electoral votes"...........
President Biden, thusly, from BEING ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN PRESIDENTS EVER CATAPULTED HIMSELF TO BEING ONE OF THE WORST - ALL 'CAUSE HE REFUSED TO SELF-DEFEND HIMSELF AND DEMOCRATIC AMERICA WITH HIM WHEN MATTERED THE MOST!! So tragical....
I stand with you ❤️🔥
My question disappeared 😥
Yesterday they fired the lawyers that work within the military to ensure that all orders from 47 or any president, are lawful. Now what.
April seriously will be too late. They will have uploaded all the information they need into the cloud. Musk has not been vetted he should be removed until the trail not after.
What exactly is a near contempt ruling? Does it mean anything in real life?
Everybody was like Kamala Harris wouldn't make a good president. I bet all these Republicans crying wish they would have voted for her. 🍊💩 Doesn't care about the Americans. He only cares about himself. He doesn't even care about his cronies. He wants servants who will be like yes sir, right away sir. And they'll do what he says weather it be right or wrong. They don't care, their afraid of him
Republicans-Watch, wait, listen ——instead what you can expect to see is all benefits that you are expecting or already getting will be cut!!! Social Security, veterans benefits,Medicare , family tax credits medical assistance, snap benefits, farmers getting their promised money, education departments for special needs students, lunch benefits for students, banking fraud, and so much more!!! All your personal information has been accessed by the clowns at the helm!!! Elon Musk and trump have never experienced the hardship of trying to make ends meet like many average Americans are… they are only helping their billionaire friends!!!
Unfortunately, the good lawyers like Sassoon are leaving but the bad lawyers like Bove are staying - can we really afford this?
How long before the Supreme Court realise that he will be coming for them eventually!!!
Adams Family's Lurch is Bove.
How do we fight back against DJT turning America into Russia?
Rallies galore nonstop till they start to feel threatened and back down…
❤️🔥🇨🇦❤️🔥👏🏻
Thank you Vel Santic. I blocked that person from my site. I don't need his contamination.
Appreciate you both for keeping us up to date on everything legal going on.
I for one, watch all the folks that you mentioned, I trust you. What I wish to hear from all of you, including Meidas Touch. 47 just fired the military lawyers in charge of determining if an order was constitutionally given from the president. Plz explain why this is important and the ramifications. Off the top of my head, I guessing three items: Using the military for immigrant work~Using the military to invade sovereign countries~Marshal law, against US, the citizens that will eventually reach a place of no return and fill the streets. Thoughts?
He needs to be arrested by the Military
Of course!! I keep holding onto the hope that there must be the PRO-DEMOCRACY PRO-AMERICAN things going on behind the scene that must NOT leak into the public!! But that's only my most desperate hope!! I'd better not be wrong about my hope!! Because Democrats had to have a contingency plan for this totally unbearable pandemonium!!
THANK YOU ALL! This was an interesting one and I hope never to see one from him again.
Not sure if this is being repeated. What can the courts use to enforce rulings? If Trump (or Musk) ignore court rulings, what can be done. Our Founding Fathers couldn't even begin to envision someone as demonic as Trump. The assumption is the DOJ Policy regarding sitting President never really addresses what we have now. Impeachment and conviction will not happen. So is a paper tiger left? Waiting will end badly! Demonstrations will not be effective although we're hopeful!!! If you know history, research the interaction of Neville Chamberlain and Hitler prior to WWII! Appeasement and what's happening to Trump amounts to the say!!! He's committing an insurrection in plain sight!!! He will only stop if removed, arrested and all his conspirators area arrested or neutralized!!!
the quisling freak terrorist tRumputin is forcefully finalizing, ensuring and imposing his already started jan 6th 2021 terroristic insurrection against America.
SOS!!
The Supreme Corrupt court. Who cares what the justice believe it is about the constitution which is all about equal balances as a check and balances.
Thank you, Shelly Schneider. And yes, we are not going to give up.
Thank you, Joan Woodworth. We'll hang in there together.
Thank you for your ongoing fight against the scourge of MAGA. Do you have any suggestions about proceeding beyond posting our complaints and fears about this atrocity? Do you have any plans for a successor if you are disabled or worse?
I am concerned that as this movement gains more and more followers, people in the MAGA movement will deploy violence against their opponents. My fears are based on previous incidents, such as the idiot who stormed a pizza shop looking for pedophiles. No one was hurt, but if a patron had been armed and responded, there could have been mass slaughter. Even a rabbit will fight when cornered.
The same fears can be directed to people on our side. With the courts, including SCOTUS, and Congress failing the general population, violence is not impossible to consider.
Can you address one of your posts to these possible conditions?
Please don't insult Lurch!!!!!!!
It's not the pain that's the point, it's the pleasure.
Principal and conviction. We can use more of that!
I feel that people need to start following their gut. Look around, see what's actually happening around them. I know that's hard, but if people can't accept that our Govt is being torn down, then that's a clue...I currently work in LE, I'm a Veteran and I will ALWAYS uphold my oath and keep my HONOR to the Constitution.
Thank you for your reply. We can't stop now, Ignatz.
Thank you again, Vel. Let's just keep on trudging along.
You know he's a sneaky one and got one into my email account and I had to direct him now to spam. He's something else. I hope this is the last of him. Thanks, Vel for your patience.
Brian Schultz is a financial scammer. Reported and blocked.
yep!! I thought so!!
with patel heading the FBI, we MUST inDEED know it NOW as the KGB!
we really MUST OVERCOME, not someday, BUT NOW!
So what can we do but wait this out? It's scary but maybe we should think positively and have faith.
Have a talk with anyone you know in the military
Trump worships Putin. He realizes that Putin, not Musk, is likely the richest man in the world and money is all that matters to Trump. So he's willing to give Putin everything he wants, even America. Trump hates America and hates everyone in it.
Somebody pointed out that the administration wants to cut off Ukraine's Starlink unless it hands over its mineral rights to the US. Malevolent.
The Guardian did a story about how Russia has been cultivating Trump since the 1980s: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book
Have been screaming about it for a decade at least, but....Americans and their blank-staring complacency.....
Doge bros
Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski, Greg Hogan, and Austin Raynor. At the General Services Administration (GSA), Stephen Ehikian, Thomas Shedd, Nate Cavanaugh, Nicole Hollander, and Kyle Schutt have taken key roles. The Treasury Department now includes Tom Krause and Marko Elez. Other federal advisers include Justin Fulcher, Scott Langmack, and Justin Monroe (FBI). The U.S. DOGE Service is led by Steve Davis, Brad Smith, and Katie Miller, while DOGE engineers include Alexandra “Aly” Beynon, Riccardo Biasini, Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier “Cole” Killian, Gavin Kliger, Nikhil Rajpal, Ethan Shaotran, Christopher Stanley, Jordan Wick, and Kendall M. Lindemann. Lawyers James Burnham, Keenan Kmiec, Noah Peters, and Jacob Altik (Executive Office of the President) have been identified. Other DOGE-affiliated staff include Anthony Armstrong, Jennifer Balajadia, Stephanie Holmes, and Adam Ramada.
Additionally, federal roles now include Ryan Riedel as Chief Information Officer at the Department of Energy, Michael Russo as Chief Information Officer at the Social Security Administration, and Rachel Riley as a Senior Adviser at HHS. Kathryn Armstrong Loving serves as a Federal Detailee at the EPA. Jeremy Lewin leads agencies including USAID, CFPB, and the State Department, while Brooks Morgan is connected to the Department of Education. Chris Young is affiliated with the Executive Office of the President and CFPB.
tsk, tsk, tsk.............. so that nazi marko elez is STILL destroying the Treasury Department.....
Thank you for the updates.
The maga who replied I think is a disgrace. How horrible, but good in a way that he replied to one of my posts. But it must have gotten to him. Just imagine his mentality and the others thinking DJT is so great. Boggles one's mind doesn't it. We must put our strengths as one and beat this evilness together. We can do it!
I love your action. Watching and supporting from Canada.
Hi, Someone! Thank you for this. We're toughing it out aren't we?
I work Wednesdays and Sundays
I’m worried that resignations will leave vacancies for Trump appointees and MAGA a**lic***s to fill them. Leaving town invites the rats in.
100 %
trust me, I don't like Amazon, but I do Audible...and I have the book...
Never doubt that every time you think that trump can’t get any worse then he does. I truly believe that it is absolutely possible that Putin has a stranglehold on trump and the Muskrat is the hand holding the strings for Putin.
Since the 80's

Not to mention Trump has been a Russian informant since the 80's and Eric and Donnie Jr. bragged/admitted in public, on video/audio, that Trump Inc. gets most of their money FROM RUSSIA and most of their assets are in Russia

And while Trump was moving secret documents to and from Mar a Lago his plane and the Russian ambassador's plane were parked next to each other in DC for two days...not to mention the UAE plane: https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/donald-trump/yes-a-photo-of-trumps-plane-next-to-a-russian-plane-at-washington-dulles-airport-is-real/536-724e14dc-4609-4000-82d7-32f646bbfe63

Rid ourselves of musk for good!!!
Remove Musk now!! He is ILLEGAL!!
Our government pays Musk 8 million dollars A DAY! 8 Eight million dollars each and every day! How about we cancel those contracts!
Thank you, Patrice Mobley. Gets discouraging doesn't it but we can't give up. Have a great week.
Why is Karen representing Luigi? He murdered a man. I am very disappointed in such an intelligent woman representing a murderer. I so looked forward to these episodes but now I have to rethink my position on this podcast unless Karen gives us a reason for this move.
These guys are “the best”
Okay, the nazi finally scrubbed my post when I asked why it was taking so long for the Supreme Court to do something. DJT is allowing Mush to make all the decisions for everything it seems at this point because DJT is incapable and America is in deep doo doo if that's the case. Supreme Court you are paid to do what's right for the American people. Aren't you part of the "American people"? What happens will affect you as well so get on with it!
In the first place No Convicted Felon should be allowed to be President of the United States….Period
This is just another way for Trump to clear out anybody and everybody that could possibly push back on his becoming a dictator and that is what is coming down the road sooner rather than later it's time for America to stand up and fight back while we still can
We all know that Trump is a Russian asset so there's no surprise here and as far as email goes well him and all of Trump's cabinet picks on number two
And don't forget Elon musk wants to open up Russia to his interests as well. It's completely transactional with him too!!
The most interesting part of this whole thing is the fact that even a rabbit dog gets put down maybe that's the only thing that can be done to save our country our government our constitution our freedom and our dignity no I'm not agitating assassination but there are other ways of putting a rabbit dog in it's place you need to do this swiftly before the whole world turns against us and once they do getting them to believe us again over the other side of impossible
Keep up the good work. You were first and still outstanding. 🏆💕
Patriots don't rip off the American people
Assuming it's accurate, and he usually knows what he's talking about, Lawrence O'Donnell gave a really good explanation of why Hochul is not moving to remove Adams. From what he says this is a law that has never been used, the rules for the hearing she would have don't exist, and it would probably be tied up in court for years. It would be faster and more efficient to wait until the next election and vote him out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDapa0YSnVs&t=16s
I believe it's time for the Supreme Court to step up to the mound. Enough is enough. You've had more than enough time out to suck your thumbs. Now get to the work that you are getting paid to do.
Thank you, Elizabeth Ann Palm. Onward and upward, we go!
I think the fault lies now mainly with the Supreme Court. Sure, DJT planned it very well years ago to kiss it up to them to get to this very day. Now they are just going to act like slime balls and do nothing letting unfortunate people suffer because they have no conscience and have sold out to one who is cunning and evil.
I see you read Middlesex Karen. Me as well. Nice that it received a Pulitzer which is well deserved.
What happened to the judges and lawyers who protested the 3rd reich? This circus is on the same timetable as that coup. The only thing left to fall is the military and that has started here in week 5
This is a Julius Caesar moment
Wow! Karen and Michael are well educated and experienced legal experts. Thanks for explaining things in clear and concise terms non lawyers can comprehend. You are doing good work and pursuing justice on behalf of the American people. We need you to stay in the fight. Keep putting up a good fight. You are brave and patriotic. Thank you!
Please explain to me why people don’t restock? So to spread the word? People hit the heart, like and some comment but so few RESTACK?! WHY?!
I am still here.
AND TRUMP WAS A KGB SPY SINCE 1987!!! DO YOU HEAR??!!
The ELECTION WAS ILLEGITIMATE BECAUSE THEY USED JIM CROW METHODS!! INVESTIGATE THAT!!!
Not fast enough.
Over 4 million votes were purged by Jim Crow tactics in the 2024 election, or thrown out for lame reasons!!
I don't understand why this is posted on Sunday Feb 23 as a new video, when it was for Wednesday...
Hi guys! I had a tiger the tail and it was kind of a hoot. What a jerk. Barred him from my site because I don't like naaasty. Thanks, guys, for your response.
Please let us know whether or not we paid. Thank those of us who do rather than putting us in the category of “subscribed.” I know other substacks do that; it must be kinda easy. Thanks
Thank you, Jean Connley. Onward and upward as they say!
Something about this really sizzled me and got to me. Bad ju ju. Thanks for your reply, Chris.
What!! What a waste of time !!!
Thank you Karen! Appreciate your knowledge and explaining how it is, and how you feel. We are not alone because we have you and Michael🌹🇺🇸💙
Substack News Information Sharing is so Fragmented. The Public needing to Follow multiple Substack Accounts is unrealistic due to time constraints, cost, lack of access as your guest pointed out. Media is ideological now unfortunately so people subscribe to their point of view - echo chambers. How do you see Reifying Media? There was always ideological bias before but now is on a whole new level
Patriotic is a matter of perspective.
Call me

Hopefully maga's will start waking the he'll up. People are getting fed up with the congress people in those town halls.
