Senator Claude Malhuret rose in the French Senate, and delivered an excoriation of the corrupt fever that has taken hold of the American government, and turned it in an instant from a flawed light in the world to a dangerous menace.
Vichy Congress, our anti-American Vichy Congress is spot on, Steve, in your last line - these American pols so like the Vichy French parliamentarians masochistically under the Nazi boot heel, and enjoying the life of southern France. And this Vichy Congress of America enjoying their D.C. perks and ego-balloonedness includes most of our Democrat representatives who have become transparent diseased pustules of collaborating or enabling or cowering or screamingly weak response. A few are heroes and they need to lead massive, super heavy mass demonstrations and work strikes and boycotts. Channel the spirit of MLK and the Civil Rights fighters, who suffered, were wounded and murdered for their just and right and best-of-human-evolution convictions.
Is there not one Democrat that can make such a speech? I am afraid that the answer is no. Perhaps they can invite the French senator here to show them how its done.
Do not forget Sen Chris Murphy, watch his short speeches on his IG, & I think he has them on a FB page too. Sen Murphy is now writing here on Substack too. Find him & follow.
There is a huge protest being planned for Mar 14-16 in DC, the Sons of Liberty are involved & the man in this video is really asking Veterans to show up, in uniform if you can. Please restack it here & on every sm site you use. There’s only about a week left to get the word out so that the crowds are massive.
Steve. This brief walk through our history brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful essay. I do not understand many of the People’s response to this moment in time. It’s incredibly sad and equally enraging. Thank you as always.

I agree. This is what people have been waiting for. It’s past time for the government to hear our voices loud and clear. Time for good, necessary trouble.
Wow an amazing video of Claude Malhumet! I am sharing on BS. What an amazing speech! He has hoped for us Americans to rise up against Trump and Musk. We cannot give in, cannot obey in advance and never let our democracy fall!
Unfortunately, there is no effective opposition whatsoever. It's up to us and our caring, clear-eyed friends to figure out something new to put a stop to this $hitshow.

Yes, it would be great to have the transcript to read, share widely, and to fast-track to members of our cowardly and lackadaisical members of Congress.

I listened to all of Senator’s Malhuret’s speech. And then I could not but help to read your writing out loud. Love this site because it inspires me, gives me hope.
Vive la France. What a speech. Churchill like. Meanwhile, the Democrats hold up little signs at the state of the union and some of them voted to censure one of their own.
Every vote by a Democrat to censure Rep Al Green was despicable & made me mad as hell. I’m going to see if I can find that list of yea votes & call in a piece of my mind!!! 🤬🤬 Remember all of the disruptions by mtg & Boobert, heckling Joe Biden? I think they did it at every SOTU address he did, & no one threw them out, nor censure them!

i watched the video last night and it made my heart happy, but seeing you put it in historical context in this fashion... i echo the person that said "epic". your writing brought chills and some hope that i don't think is necessarily unfounded but is cautiously welcomed
i am going to log into my pc now, and upgrage to founding off of this
I keep hearing lots of criticism of the Democratic party, accusing of not doing anything, should be opposing, etc. I wish someone would explain what Dems in Congress should be doing. They can vote against and lose, can’t get bills heard or voted on. After suffering a loss of the Presidency, there is no logical leader. I keep hearing the critiques and scratching my head about what’s to be done. And there are good speeches being made by Dems. Heard one today by Michael Bennet. But who is listening. I’d love to hear your ideas on this dilemma.
Ok. 1. Every dem MOC needs a low level staffer to flood social media daily. Someone
just out of college would know the ropes.2. Every dem needs to personally hit the road
and coordinate with fellow members. Hit former blue states and red states. Have staff
publicize the heck out of these and hold pressers daily, even from WDC.
3. Flood the zone with a counter attack on every bit that daily comes out of the Oval.
Junior staffer on social media, MOC a making pointed comments….NOT WE LOOK FORWARD TO FINDING COMMON GROUND. That is last century. They must attack with language people understand . Not “democracy is failing” but “my constituents cannot afford groceries and many are being kicked out of nursing homes due to Medicaid cuts”.
Evidently there is a PAC against Trump-that will be announced soon. We ALL need to
hit the streets,literally. I have read to be effective, we must reach over 12 million people.
This we can do, right? 12 million a cross our nation can be done.
Steve, thank you for sharing the warnings from our allies' elected officials to their own citizens! More Americans need to hear what our European allies are saying and to see it through their non-American, non-partisan, small "d" democratic, eyes!
This remarkable speech could have been made by any elected Democrat in America, and should have been made by all elected Democrats sitting in office. Course, it would not fit on a ping pong paddle of a protest sign.
Wow.
Steve, sometimes your writing is epic.
This is one of those times
Only sometimes? 🤣🤣🤣
Well, you HAVE been on a roll lately...😎

I think Senator Schiff can and also Representative Raskin
Where. The. FUCK. Are they?????
Exactly. Bernie is the only one with the guts to venture out in Red Territory.
Bless him! Even Slotkin’s speech, although well done,lacked the Bernie urgency. Why the Hell are the Dems so timid? We need hair-on-fire leaders NOW!

Thanks for this, PJ. Sharing in sm and with those who are not on sm.
Thank you so much. I’d love for it to be like the Million Man March & the Women’s March so just maybe the legacy tv news will pay attention

In the absence of a domestic opposition party it is helpful to have caring, clear-eyed friends.
Unfortunately, there is no effective opposition whatsoever. It's up to us and our caring, clear-eyed friends to figure out something new to put a stop to this $hitshow.
WE ARE THE OPPOSITION!!
Then let's start acting like it.
April 5. Nationwide protests. Fiftyfifty.one

Stunning..my fervent hope is that the Europeans realize that a good chunk of us are just as horrified as they are with this awful administration.
Great story, especially about Lafayette! What a man! Ironic, how a modern day Frenchman took up Lafayette’s banner!
Bravo!!!
I am ready to fight for my freedom!! I hate him with every fiber of my being
