First they came for the immigrants, then they came for the federal workers, next they came for the judges...our ranks are thinning quickly. We must speak up!
If this news doesn't waken every American to the danger and corruption endemic in the Trump administration, nothing will:
“Trump could have fought for us. He really could have. Instead, he made self-serving deals. He would send life-saving equipment if only we would agree to praise him on the Sunday talk shows. That is literally a deal that he put in front of me.
“I was desperate. My hospitals were filling up. And time was of the essence, so I agreed that I would do that if he sent me what we needed. Because my job at the time was to do virtually anything to get the White House to help us save lives.
“Needless to say, he never delivered for us. He never delivered for the American people. And Donald Trump proved who he really is in that critical moment.” – Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Remember, with the author of "Art of the Deal," everything is transactional; even American lives can be traded for the praise and popularity Trump craves.
Why the MAGAKLAN thinks our govt should be managed and run as a business is a blatant sign of their ignorance.
Why they would vote for a con-man to run the govt as a business is head-slapping astounding.
I don’t know if this would make a difference to the MAGAKLAN but……..here goes…….
In your home town / city, how much money ( profit ) did the Fire, Police, first responders, EMT’s, sanitation workers, etc generate for your town / city?
Short answer: zero $$$$.
They’re a service(s) NOT a business. Yes, we shouldn’t be tossing money around said services haphazardly. We should be watching where the ( tax ) money goes and how effective it is. No argument there. However, these are required services for peaceful and stable communities. In short these are insurance policies for peace and stability in your towns, cities, et al.
That is our govt in D.C.’s mission statement as well. And, that is to insure that our states, cities, towns, townships and communities are stable and protected. It’s not driven by profit as a business would be. The govts bottom line is not how much profit they make. People are not products to be sold and haggled over. It’s not a business where deals result in more $$$$ being made.
Do you think there is a chance the MAGAKLAN would understand this? Even just a little?
The motor mouth excuse for a press secretary proudly tells us that the government of the United States will now be run like a business. She is a clueless toady, who, I am sure has never read or understood the constitution!
And now many of the MAGAKLAN say "We didn't think he'd do it" or meant it. Not much of an excuse for putting us where are when his track record was clear: If he said it, then he would do it or at the very least try to do it.
Trump never cared about anyone, but himself! He is now in the position that he always wanted to be: a wanna be King/dictator! He can now control everything, including us! He has already started to destroy everything that America stood for, so that America can be in his own image! He believes that he is as great, or greater than God! The "christian nationalists", along with a weak Congress, and lopsided Supreme Court, helped to fuel this idea. Trump feels invincible. He will help no one, not even his own family! Yes, Trump could have helped to make America a greater country, he could have helped the American people; he just doesn't want to!
We just don't know, do we? Disappearing people with only accusations, no due process. Congress has allowed itself to be castrated. Universities and major law firms are buckling under. Media is compliant. He's positioned to appoint yet *another* third of the federal judiciary. The threats are non-stop. If he started mass, public executions, who would stop him?
Neither of Rubio's parents were U.S. citizens at the time of Rubio's birth in 1971 in Miami.[6][7] They applied for U.S. citizenship and were naturalized in 1975.[5] Some relatives of Rubio's were admitted to the U.S. as refugees.[8]
Rubio's maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, immigrated to the U.S. legally in 1956, but returned to Cuba to find work in 1959.[9] When in 1962 he fled communist Cuba and returned to the U.S. without a visa,[8] he was detained as an undocumented immigrant and an immigration judge ordered him to be deported.[9][10] Immigration officials reversed their decision later that day, however, and the deportation order was not enforced. Instead, Garcia was reclassified to a legal status of "parolee" that allowed him to stay in the U.S.[8][11][12] Garcia re-applied for permanent resident status in 1966 following passage of the Cuban Adjustment Act, at which point his residency was approved.[8] Rubio enjoyed a close relationship with his grandfather during his childhood.[8]
And all because the corporate media thought Donald Trump, with his outrageous behavior and nonstop lies, would attract more eyeballs—and thus more ad revenue—than a highly-competent, less outrageous Black woman. And thus, trumpeted the Hell out of Trump's candidacy—"sanewashed" it—while sticking Harris's on page 16.
Wonder if the German press felt the same about Adolf Hitler in 1933, and therefore backed him to the hilt.
My memory is a little fuzzy: how'd that work out for Germany and its MGGA cult?
I absolutely agree. News media wanted Trump elected. That’s why, in addition to sane-washing, not one reporter ever asked how he was going to end the Russian invasion in Ukraine in 24 hours, how he was going to reduce grocery prices, how he was going to cut inflation, how he was going to cut insurance rates in half, etc.
And possibly the worst "non-ask" of all from the media was when Trump was asked about Project 2025. His response: "I know nothing about it, but I disagree with a lot of what's in there"(?!?!) Would someone please tell me how you can disagree with something you know nothing about?! And did anyone from the media ask him that question? Not on your life; they just went on to the next (pre-screened) question.
Just like he said about the Venezuelan deportation judge: I don't know who he is, but he's a radical leftist appointed by Barack Hussein Obama. He always talks in contradictory circles.
And NO ONE CALLS HIM OUT ON IT! They simply let it slide: "Oh, that's just Trump being Trump."
Oh, yeah? Well, it looks like "Trump being Trump" is about to COST US OUR COUNTRY!
So, you might want to open your mouth every now and then, corporate media, and maybe put just the tiniest of obstacles in the way of the onrushing Fascist Express!
I thought I was being careful when I predicted, a few weeks ago, we had about four months until the revolution starts. But I'm thinking I'm too conservative in my estimate.
It took Hitler 53 days to destroy the Weimar Republic. Day 53 of the Krasnov Konspiracy was last Friday. The day he decided to go after the rule of law.
Cherie, your reference to "horrible, inhumane crap" raises a question. By sending people to these unspeakable prisons is Trump violating the 8th amendment? "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." Or, does this protection apply only to American citizens?
Hello! I'm not Cherie, but I agree with you and thanks for quoting the amendment. We don't even know at this point who was caught up in that raid and removal to Salvadoran prisons, so some of them could have been citizens. If they're criminals, they need to be dealt with here and jailed if necessary. That's why we're a country with a better justice system, but now Trump and his own gang of miscreants is trying to upend that. Haven't heard yet if the passengers of those planes have been returned yet, because they should have been, even if the planes landed there already.
Anthony, the eighth amendment focuses on ‘punishments’ in criminal cases and specifically excludes “cruel and unusual punishments” and applies to everyone in the US, including non-citizens who are here legally or illegally, in criminal cases. However, not applicable in deportation cases… because deportation cases are civil rather than criminal.
Thanks for clearing that up. Something else occured to me. Is he violating the Geneva Conventions by sending migrants to suffer in these terrible prisons? He invoked a 1798 law to justify these deportations. This law, The Alien Enemies Act, "grants the president broad authority to remove from the United States citizens of foreign countries whom he defines as 'alien enemies,' in cases of war or nvasion"
IMO, he is full of it and just makes 💩up as he/they go. He/they don’t know the law from their elbows and wouldn’t abide by it if they did.
I do want to review the Geneva Conventions specifically, but we don’t even need to review to know he and his henchmen are treating these human beings INHUMANELY 💔💔💔
Steve- are you aware of the mass protest(s) being planned by "Indivisible"? The date is to be April 5. If so, how do you feel about their plan? How about the rest of you guys? Would you attend? There are other smaller protests planned all across the country.
Jeff-we are going to the one in DC on April 5th. This is what we need to do. Also, I think the Tesla Takedown protests are important-we will be going to one in Mechanicsburg, PA this Friday. We are keeping our day jobs, but consider ourselves “protesters” and plan to do as much of that as humanly possible.
Absolutely 💯 we need people with platforms, who keep telling us to RISE UP, as Steve so often does, to give that date some exposure!!!
Hey Steve….could you possibly do that?
Mention that there is to be a mass protest in DC for everyone who can make it on April 5. If you’re unable to come to DC, then go to your state Capitol on that day.
Remember that Roberts voted with the other 4 fascist Justices in Trump v. United States (2024). Now, Roberts has dared to criticize Trump, the man he gave immunity to in the documents case; when Trump called for the impeachment of Judge Boasberg after he halted the administration's attempts to quickly deport Venezuelan migrants the administration had labeled gang members, Roberts said impeachment is an "inappropriate" response to a court decision the president disagrees with.
Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) filed articles of impeachment against Boasberg on
Tuesday 3/18.
Now, perhaps Roberts gets it; Possibly, a realization has penetrated his thick skull: to paraphrase Steve, when you feed the crocodile, you might be it's next meal.
Thanks Roberts; if you had voted against Trump in Trump v. U.S. it's likely we would not be facing the horrid outcomes of a second Trump presidency.
Where does the Presidential oath fit in all of this? Trump demonstrably defies his oath to the Constitution. What persons / branch of government can bring that to bear? How can that become an exploitable failure that a court can hear and pronounce damages, even if removal can only be accomplished by impeachment or the 25th amendment? I’m pissing in the wind, but I don’t understand the point of the oath if it can’t be compelled.
Impeachment is the only tool and that would be up to enough Resmuglicans and they are all either cowards or in the same evil Trump cult. Otherwise it's just the people who must rise up enmasse against the tyranny that is upon us now.
Would a country-wide petition by your citizenry to the House members be a route that could be envisioned to remove Trump under the 6th, 14 or 25th amendments.
I felt the same way during Trump's first term, and then during and after the insurrection! If oaths don't mean anything, why have them". BTW: Trump didn't have his hand on the Bible, the second time. Why didn't Roberts make him put his hand on the Bible? Does that mean that he doesn't have to obey the oath (as if he ever did!)?
The ultimate fail-safe method for preserving American democracy -- and the health and well-being of its free people -- is to galvanize an historic, tsunami-like tidal wave representing the majority of Americans in a mass nonviolent resistance and proto-revolutionary movement if necessary, that dispositively demonstrates that Trump his Hitlerian martinets and cult are not as powerful as the believe they are because the people are not as weak, fearful and powerless as they and Trump mistakenly think they are.
For inspiration in recognizing and acting upon the foregoing axiom, I once more highly recommend, as indispensable watching, the award-winning documentary film, “How to Start a Revolution” about the theory, practice and success of recent nonviolent uprisings and revolutions that have toppled hubristic dictators like Trump all over the world:
Agreed we need a tsunami-like tidal wave of mass peaceful protest. We need massive numbers to keep us safe from violence unleashed by them against peaceful demonstrators. Riot police can easily assault 1000 but 25,000 will hopefully deter such brutal state violence against its citizens. It needs to coincide with worker strikes to shut down the economy like they do in France.
After reading the report on this in The Guardian, I am appalled that the ICE tactics have migrated to Canadians with a valid Canadian passport. Have they all lost their minds and sense of due process. I now believe that no one who is visiting your country on a valid passport is safe from these outrageous assaults on people of other friendly nations.
the Nazis(aka Republicans) will be trying to push through the SAVE act which is estimated to try to disenfranchise 31m voters every year
The SAVE ACT((https://bit.ly/42cHgDE) will require people who are asked to register or re-register to vote (31m do that every year….for various reasons: change address/change county, change name with marriage) will have to prove they are citizens in order to vote
This can be done in 2 ways: 1) proof of birth either by original birth certificate(who has that?) or 2 passport (12% have passports and are usually white and wealthy) What about women who have different last names now? Try to register if you do not have your original birth certificate because marriage licenses, military ID’s etc will not count This is why the Trump regime tried to do away with birthright citizenship
Will you be purged???
The result of the SAVE ACT: Massive drain of the voter rolls
Call your congressperson to vote against the SAVE ACT (202) 224 3121
I’m in Idaho. My Congress grossly disregards the voters daily. Closed primaries have given us extremist lunatics. These legislatures have enabled the fascists. Imploring them to save our democracy is futile
Neither our courts nor our elected officials have proven up to the challenge. Donvict, e-dolf, the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society and more have forcefully demonstrated the pitiful naïveté inherent in the notion that “we are a nation of laws”. None of donvict’s most serious crimes - attempting to overthrow the government, stealing and mishandling the most sensitive classified documents and lying about it, election tampering, etc. - found him facing a jury. Donvict has been re-elected, he has pardoned all who assisted in the attempted overthrow. He has suspended the Constitution with the aid of men and women sworn to defend it while making a mockery of his own oath. There is no evidence he or any of his enablers will ever be tried for their crimes, or even that any of the “officers of the court” who carry out his corrupt orders will be disbarred. Send not to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
Judge Boasberg questioned the guy who found a law license in a box of Cream Puffs sent over by the Department of Injustice to represent Krasnov's bullshit aboput how many members of the Venezuelan gang are in America. The idiot didn't know. Reports are there are as many as 15-20 who might be here and might have committed crimes.
Many young men in places like Venezuela now grow up in neighborhoods controlled by various gangs, and will get a gang tattoo to protect themselves there. They don't have the money to pay to have such things removed. So they come up here where some otherwise-unemployable 50-IQ wannabe Gestapo Goon labels them a "gang member."
Pam Bondiʻs statement today about the parade of horribles if Judge Boasberg were to see the classified info is another example of the DOJ being co-opted by criminals.
I would bet.. that they couldn't find enough gang members or shoplifters so they picked up any man that was from Venezuela for their movie. And now they don't want the proof that these are NOT dangerous gang members at all. What a horror. What a hero you are Steve for speaking up day after day after day after day.
First they came for the immigrants, then they came for the federal workers, next they came for the judges...our ranks are thinning quickly. We must speak up!

"Would it have mattered?"
No. The ignorant have spoken.
And now many of the MAGAKLAN say "We didn't think he'd do it" or meant it. Not much of an excuse for putting us where are when his track record was clear: If he said it, then he would do it or at the very least try to do it.

Exactly
They look and act benign, but via sanewashing and omission are demonstrably compilicit in this fascist coup
When you look up "craven" in the dictionary, they should have pictures of The New York Times, the Washington Post, Fox News, and ad infinitum.
Why, having incited an insurrection, he should even be considered for reelection???
Incontrovertible proof that mainstream media is at best a lost cause, and more likely bought and paid and complicit in the cabal
I thought I was being careful when I predicted, a few weeks ago, we had about four months until the revolution starts. But I'm thinking I'm too conservative in my estimate.
It took Hitler 53 days to destroy the Weimar Republic. Day 53 of the Krasnov Konspiracy was last Friday. The day he decided to go after the rule of law.
I had at 6 months…😖
I think it will turn into a blast furnace after the weather gets hot.
Who is going make us safe from the monsters doing this horrible, inhumane crap, who are obviously soulless, sadistic, psychopaths?

The SAVE ACT((https://bit.ly/42cHgDE) will require people who are asked to register or re-register to vote (31m do that every year….for various reasons: change address/change county, change name with marriage) will have to prove they are citizens in order to vote
This can be done in 2 ways: 1) proof of birth either by original birth certificate(who has that?) or 2 passport (12% have passports and are usually white and wealthy) What about women who have different last names now? Try to register if you do not have your original birth certificate because marriage licenses, military ID’s etc will not count This is why the Trump regime tried to do away with birthright citizenship
Will you be purged???
The result of the SAVE ACT: Massive drain of the voter rolls
Call your congressperson to vote against the SAVE ACT (202) 224 3121
I’m in Idaho. My Congress grossly disregards the voters daily. Closed primaries have given us extremist lunatics. These legislatures have enabled the fascists. Imploring them to save our democracy is futile
Plan B ?
We are on our own. The media is paralyzed because they are scared of Trump. The Democrats can’t get their act together. We cannot give in.
Neither our courts nor our elected officials have proven up to the challenge. Donvict, e-dolf, the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society and more have forcefully demonstrated the pitiful naïveté inherent in the notion that “we are a nation of laws”. None of donvict’s most serious crimes - attempting to overthrow the government, stealing and mishandling the most sensitive classified documents and lying about it, election tampering, etc. - found him facing a jury. Donvict has been re-elected, he has pardoned all who assisted in the attempted overthrow. He has suspended the Constitution with the aid of men and women sworn to defend it while making a mockery of his own oath. There is no evidence he or any of his enablers will ever be tried for their crimes, or even that any of the “officers of the court” who carry out his corrupt orders will be disbarred. Send not to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
Yeah
Not business as usual
Capisce ?
Judge Boasberg questioned the guy who found a law license in a box of Cream Puffs sent over by the Department of Injustice to represent Krasnov's bullshit aboput how many members of the Venezuelan gang are in America. The idiot didn't know. Reports are there are as many as 15-20 who might be here and might have committed crimes.
Many young men in places like Venezuela now grow up in neighborhoods controlled by various gangs, and will get a gang tattoo to protect themselves there. They don't have the money to pay to have such things removed. So they come up here where some otherwise-unemployable 50-IQ wannabe Gestapo Goon labels them a "gang member."
Pam Bondiʻs statement today about the parade of horribles if Judge Boasberg were to see the classified info is another example of the DOJ being co-opted by criminals.
I would bet.. that they couldn't find enough gang members or shoplifters so they picked up any man that was from Venezuela for their movie. And now they don't want the proof that these are NOT dangerous gang members at all. What a horror. What a hero you are Steve for speaking up day after day after day after day.
