The Trump era is finally ending. Nothing the clown does is working. No one really understands why he attacked Iran, causing a worldwide oil shortages. Why he enacted inflationary tariffs raising grocery prices through the roof.

Why he needs a secret storm trooper army to attack Americans and immigrants in this country. Why he thinks it's "cute" to mess with science research, medical care and education. Why he's happy to accuse Democrats and the majority of Independents of being traitors

Why he's attacking the voting rights of minority Americans. Why he's looking for ever new ways to screw disadvantaged Americans. A majority of Americans don't just dislike or disapprove of the guy. The majority are disgusted by the guy and want him gone.

Today, the equities markets finally started to "adjust" to Trump's wildly inflationary economy.

If the investor class finally turns on Trump his approval ratings will drop into the low 30's and MAGA become a derogotory verb in America.

Let's all stand together for the Real America we have built and love over the past 50 years and STOP Trump's destruction before he destroys us.

We can only hope. Unfortunately, the majority of the 30+% of his supporters are far below the investor class.

Why? Money and power.

Er, what? Who doesn't understand why he attacked Iran? The worm is in the Lebanon side of the apple at the moment.

Seeing it all listed in one email is almost too much to bear. I can’t read it again because I did read it the first time around, all of it. But nonetheless I am grateful to you for keeping it all open and in front of our noses to keep our outrage flaring!

I keep asking: are Alito and Thomas biased or what?

What's happening with qui tam?

Anne-Louise Luccarini's avatar

Agree, Pam B. No reason for the outrage to subside.

Ironic that The Don is protected from criminal charges by the corrupt Supremes, but he can sue the federal government as a private citizen.

I'm exhausted by just trying to keep up with it all.

We in Canada don't want to lose a close friend to such overt criminality, racism and greed.

Good luck, America.

Once a thief, always a thief. The greed and "glory" and vengeance are why he sought this office.

Please keep up the pressure to deny Trump ill-gotten taxpayer funds via his disgusting corruption.

Personally, I do not care to financially support anything this idiot wishes to spend our tax dollars on. Not a penny!! Is there a legal way for those of us who would like to withhold our federal tax dollars, to do so without penalty. I'm talking about a way for us to do the same as withholding rent monies until repairs are made to make a living space safe again. Perhaps to hold our tax dollars in a separate bank account until drumpf is removed from office. Then, and only then, would the money be released to the IRS. Is this doable??

I've wondered about the possibility of doing that. Following in Thoreau's footsteps. And I love the idea of the Black athletes not playing... Why not just all call in sick... Sick from the Jim Crow attack on Blacks, including the Black generals Trump fired early on... What about mailing books to Trump. He obviously is one of the dumbest people walking on the planet. His plans always cost American's more money with no value received. Maybe Oprah Winfrey should run for president? Someone think of something to break the wall around Trump that he has built using any scheme possible. One issue is that he thinks them up constantly and probably keeps our focus on all the different things going wrong. BUT OUR HOPE IS THAT ALL AMERICANS GET OUT AND VOTE THIS TIME. NO SITTING BACK AND THINKING YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. We have to prove that each vote counts. No slackers this time.

Good question. Answer?

Thank you for summarizing and detailing the corruption and violations of law. Thank you also for your continued defensive legal efforts. Now, when the hell is Cogress (collectively) going to have had enough of this, take back some authority, and with the courts, lower the boom on Trump? How has he managed to break so many laws and keep getting away with it? We've had enough.

Trump & Co project corruption & fraud everywhere. Of all Trump’s kleptocracy schemes, Trump’s $10 billion heist/shameless fleecing of the US Treasury/taxpayer funds is perhaps the most shameless. One of his criminal defense attorneys & now acting US Attorney General is proposing to “settle” Trump’s claims for Billions over leaking of his tax returns which other presidential candidates have released.

Great stuff, Contrarian!

Given Trump’s trying to steal billions from the Justice Department, does that mean the Epstein survivors should be able to sue the Justice Department for Trillions for irresponsibly releasing their PII?

RE: Trump’s lawsuit v the IRS. Does this mean we can all sue all those companies that sell our personal information without our knowledge or permission? I think a $10Billion settlement may not be enough to compensate us for all the resulting ad harassment. Oh, and don’t forget the fraud resulting from data breaches as well from the companies’ inadequate protection of our personal data.

The Top 10 Lists should be compiled and sent to congressional Democrats when they are back in the majority, hopefully in 2027, and shared with the DOJ, when a Democratic president is back in office, hopefully in 2029, so investigations can be opened and the corruption can be exposed and prosecuted. This all needs to be stopped, on both sides of the aisle, and integrity and accountability be restored. I’m so sick of it!! I know I’m only one of the majority of Americans who want to be able to trust our institutions.

Clearly we need a monument to emoluments.

I am on my way to Montgomery now and so far traffic in Birmingham is not so bad, but it may pick up as we get closer to Montgomery. Looking forward to defeating the steal! I will come back and comment later.

For the past 5 years, I’ve been volunteering with the DNC Call Crew as a Moderator Captain for Zoom Phone Banks and Anytime Calls. If you’re looking for a way to really make a difference, come and join us. We are currently gearing up for the midterms, by doing Listening Calls to find out what registered voters are thinking. Soon, we’ll be moving in to educating voters and finding out how and when they plan to vote. Because of the caller training that we provide, and our state of the art Dialer, we are already making over 10,000 calls during one session! We’d love to have you join us.
