"Make America Pay Again" is more like it.

Steve, America isn't decent or indecent. It's both and always has been. This period rips apart the myth that we're a decent country. No country is completely decent. What happened in Germany could happen almost anywhere. Decent people in America have to fight back the indecent Trump, his cult followers, his opportunistic enablers, his enemy state handlers, and his transnational criminal colleagues. Decency and goodness don't just happen; they prevail. Thanks for helping to lead the charge. Your deep knowledge of history and politics and your warrior spirit make you a valuable champion of truth and slayer of lies.

A person, like me, doesn’t have to be a believer to be offended and sickened by this.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

Like I said yesterday, nothing contained in that USA Bible has ever been seen by Trump’s eyes. They are the exact documents he will burn on his first day in office.

Also it confirms that Trumps is just a name a conman selling whatever he can to make a buck. I would not be surprised if the top secret documents he stole when he left the White House, who be sold or leveraged for leveraged for his personal benefit.

Trump and Putin’s millennial supporters are not dumb or blind. The young Putin/Trump supporter I met actually taught me how to use ChatGPT paid version to get anything you want out of it. And another millennial progressive who was unsure about Biden, but was however very very much sold on NY Times reporting. They both cling to the version of history and the government they know, and are reluctant to look outside of their intellectual boundary. The NY Times’ young progressive is a computer genius and is also very much up to date on the latest information. But neither one of them wants to break the self imposed barrier to see beyond what Putin, Trump, NY Times, or Bernie Sander are offering them. Truth is staring at us on the face. It is the heart and the soul that is not seeing. But they both seem very interested in why I like to read Steves Schmidt’s Substack. May be there is still hope.

Steve, thank you for waking people up, for caring, for educating, for your gifts and true heart. I do feel sad for those people who are being duped by tfg who simply couldn't handle losing an election. Selling Bibles?! I strongly feel that Trump is doing the ground work for a massive insurrection if and when he loses -again. He is calling the J-6 insurrectionists 'patriots', using 'Christianity' to dupe people, to use people to gain power, fame and money. I know enough about cults to understand that many people will do anything for their 'savior'. Trump is setting the country up for extreme violence and chaos. He is playing 'God'. Using the Bible this way is one of the sickest things I've ever seen. Keep hitting hard -we need your voice and your leadership. Democracy is on the line.

Steve you are beyond the beyond! One could not be as descriptive as you are in this commentary- it is a madness that defies description but somehow you managed to impart this pox that is contagious!!!!

As Steve inferred, and as distasteful as it may be, it is incumbent on all of us to confront the MAGA folks in our lives and to try to bring them back to the world of the sane. Will friendships be lost and tensions among family members piqued? Possibly. But, if Biden ekes out a narrow win in November, the price paid will have been a pittance.

With fees and shipping, those of us in North Carolina can have Chump’s Book for $70.00. When he’s not calling gay people Satanic, I’m sure our Lieutenant Governor will order himself a copy.
